04x05 - There's the Rub

[bunniefuu]

Come on, Lip, I'm going home.

[Sighs]

You let some dude finger you last night on the El?

You make it sound so filthy.

And he's not just any dude.

No, he's your boyfriend's brother!

[Knock at door]

Yo, Robbie, it's me.

To Kevin Ball, I leave my beloved "Alibi Room."

What?

Why don't you send me $500 a month for two years.

Okay.

No one's getting laid till they get paid.

Look, I got the labor force already.

All I need is the clientele and a location.

You've got both.

I want to enlist.

Phillip.

It's Lip.

It's just Gallagher now. Get on.

I want you to break my leg. I need the insurance money.

It's the only way I'll be able to pay for the transplant.

[Bone snaps]

Aah!

My own daughter isn't even a match!

Daughter?

Oh, f*ck it.

[Screaming]

Get... out!

You know, I'm getting pretty damn tired of everybody telling me where I should be and what I should be doing.

Well, then, stop making them have to!

Grow the f*ck up!

I need a-a beer for my daughter here.

This isn't that.

Wait, what the f*ck, man?

Hey, hey!

Sergeant, wait!

You're Phillip Gallagher?

Jesus, what the hell's going on?

Or do you get off on watching guys taking a dump?

Is that your social security number?

Blow me. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

f*ck.

Do you know this man?

No, I've never seen him before in my life.

Any idea how he got a hold of your name and social security number?

No, but it's pretty scary, you know?

I'm feeling pretty f*cking violated over here.

What's he, uh, what's he wanted for?

For impersonating you, apparently.

Also for attempted theft of government property and being away without leave.

Wow, no sh*t. What did he try and steal?

Helicopter. Surface-to-air m*ssile.

Army issue boxer bris.

Sergeant!

[Chuckles]

Mr. Gallagher, we may need you to testify.

We'll be in touch.

Well, at ease, gentlemen.

I've always wanted to say that.

So this is it.

This is where my dad lives.

In all its grandeur.

No one's home?

Thought I might meet my brothers and sisters.

Yeah, well, they're pretty busy.

Anyway, we should hit the road.

Time to find out what this foot is worth to the damn insurance company.

Oh. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Here.

For your toes!

Ah. [Laughs]

Come on, sit down.

[Laughs]

Hopefully, they won't break our hearts again this season.

[Chuckles]

So, um, there's something I have to say.

You and me, we have... a connection.

I mean, last week I was trying to get you into the sack.

It's understandable under the circumstances.

I thought, "The sex is gonna be amazing," and then I found out you were my dad, so that was, like... an adjustment.

Sure.

My whole life, I've been looking for a daddy.

The old men who'd get lucky with me at last call, the bass player who got herpes in Manila, and now, at last, I have you.

Only--

What?

You didn't come find me because you need another daughter.

You just need a liver, right? And I'm gonna help you find one, but if that's all this is...

No, no.

Then I--

No.

I mean, yes, initially I sort of looked at you as an organ farm, but when you figured out we were family, you didn't treat me like the rest of my kids-- rats leaving a sinking ship.

And, hell, I wouldn't have blamed you.

But you stuck around.

You gave me hope.

Oh.

[Sniffles]

I'm sorry.

I hate to cry. Oh.

I'd be crying too if I wasn't so high.

Can you please stop jackhammering for one minute? Thank you!

Your guys said the scaffolding is to check the building for loose bricks or something.

Correct.

Yeah, then why are you digging up the sidewalk?

New sewer line.

I depend on walk-in business, all right?

Customers see the sign, they go, "Hey, that's a nice bar.

I want a drink there."

Here's the important part.

They need the sidewalk to walk into my bar!

Sheila, wha-- what are you doing here?

Good question.

Well, Fiona's at work, and then she has a barbecue at Mike's house, and I said I'd be happy to watch the kids.

Nice, and you and Liam here having a candle-lit dinner?

Well...

[Native American music]

Fiona said it was okay if I had my date over.

It's actually our fourth date.

He's such an interesting man.

[Chanting grows louder]

What's the music?

"Tribal Twilight, Recorded Songs Of The Menominee Indian Tribe."

That would be my succotash. Hold on.

Okay.

There you go.

Hey, um, you guys heard anything from Ian?

Not for weeks. And Fiona doesn't even care.

What about the US army. You hear anything from them?

We're looking for Phillip Gallagher.

He's at college.

No.

Why the army?

'Cause Ian joined up.

Cool.

Is he old enough?

No, he used my name and social when he signed up, and then he tried to steal a helicopter and a bunch of other sh*t. Went AWOL.

Helicopter? Awesome.

Does Fiona know?

No, not yet.

You know when she's gonna be back?

She doesn't always come home.

Lots of Sheila babysitting.

You could call her.

No, it's not the kind of news you want to deliver on the phone.

Hey, is that your boyfriend with the toothpicks in his head?

It's sort of abstract. I'm calling it "True Love."

Super creepy.

Collectors will pay millions for it one day.

An early work from Debbie Gallagher's collage phase.

I'll see you guys later, okay?

Yeah?

Turkey?

When I was at Ted's in Oregon, he wanted me to try his famous deep-fried turkey.

[Chuckling]

So we put this hot oil pressure cooker thing in the yard...

Right.

And put the turkey in, and it exploded.

Set the entire side of his house on fire.

No way.

Fire trucks, all that.

They put the fire out, and the house was more or less okay.

But then we saw the turkey by the swimming pool.

This is really good.

Oh, you've heard this?

Pull a drumstick off and try it...

[Chuckles] and it was really, really good!

[Laughter]

Can you believe it?

[Laughs]

Wow.

That's funny.

Mm.

Yeah.

Did dad tell you how I want to move to Portland?

No.

Oh, that's interesting.

'Cause he said he spoke to you and you were the one who talked him out of writing the check to cover my move.

No, he didn't mention that you were moving to Oregon.

Hmm.

Aw, it was so romantic.

Got a table by the window.

There's seating on the outside, but it gets pretty cold out there.

Just bring a warm coat.

There's a lit dance floor and, I guess, a DJ or a live band, depending.

We just sat at our table, got--

Isn't this a great country?

Yeah.

Just one, big, rapey melting pot.

Frank, we're just-- we're having dinner.

No, I'm fine.

Can I ask you a delicate question?

Thanks.

On the Indian reservation, you people drink yourselves unconscious, but I never hear of an Indian getting a liver transplant.

Why is that?

Government won't pay for it.

So we use a sweat lodge.

Yeah?

It's a ceremony.

It cleans your liver, your spleen.

Opens your soul to the great spirit.

And it's a real high.

Releases the toxins in your fat cells.

It's like snorting oxy, man. It's beautiful.

Do-- do you think it would work for my liver?

This baby's on its last legs.

No question.

But I live in a condo. No place to build a lodge.

Well, you could use my yard.

Uh, a friend of Ian we don't know about, an address. Anything, really.

He really stole a helicopter?

Yeah. Yeah, you know, it would be nice to find him before the army does.

I can help look for him after school tomorrow.

It would be great if you could talk to Mandy.

Oh, it was a house.

I still have the address. You want it?

Yeah, please.

Ah.

Hey, Debs, why don't you, uh, why don't you go home, yeah?

Why?

Just 'cause every time we find Monica, you know, we wish we hadn't. She might not know where she is, who she is, who we are.

Okay.

There's no way I'm shelling out 50 bucks for a handjob.

30, maybe.

Okay, I'll tell you what.

For 30 bucks, you can go jerk yourself off.

We've got overhead, Tommy. The laundry alone is k*lling--

Hey, I pay 30 at the Thai place, and they wash towels too.

Damn Thai sex workers, stealing jobs from decent Americans.

Our girls are Russian.

They eat with forks, not with sticks, right?

Baby, you hit up everyone who's come in here, all three of 'em.

What if we advertise? Put an ad in Craigslist or one of those free local business things?

Hey, yeah, we can get some meth heads to hand out flyers and sh*t.

And pay them how?

We don't.

We just tell them we'll pay 'em, and if they complain about it, we'll b*at the sh*t out of them.

Carl!

Carl!

Carl, hey.

[Grunts]

I got a job for you, son.

I'm busy.

No, this is-- this is better.

We're gonna build a sweat lodge.

Great big rocks, heated by a big fire, and a teepee--

Big fire?

Yeah.

Oh, this is Sammi, your big sister.

It's time you met.

Hi!

Hi.

I already got two sisters.

Yeah, well, here's another one.

This is your nephew.

Chucky, baby, this is your uncle, Carl.

Wow, they even look alike.

Oh, sh*t.

This is an emotional situation.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Excuse us, would you?

Sure.

She's freaking me out.

I get it.

Look, how about I take Sammi to the Alibi for reinforcements?

You and Chuck gather saplings.

You can initiate him into the Gallagher way.

[Laughs]

Wait, what's a sapling?

[Laughs]

So what happened with this, uh, boyfriend?

Ex-boyfriend. His name's Matt.

He's nice, but he said we couldn't be together because I'm a virgin, so I tried it with someone else--

Wait, tried?

Sex.

With who?

Seth Esparelli, in the arcade bathroom.

Jesus, Debs.

Only, it didn't work, and I think we broke up?

I mean, I guess.

I haven't really called him to, like--

Confirm?

No-- yeah.

[Sighs]

So stressful.

Yeah.

What the hell?

I warned you not to test me.

Who are these guys?

My intramural tennis team.

And trust me, they do not mess around.

Do you have my cash?

Wait, are you all gay?

No.

I'm not trying to be insulting, I just want to know if you... want a handjob.

Ned said this is the place.

Doesn't look like anyone lives here.

Wait, Lip, don't go in there.

I have to, right?

Stay behind me.

Let's go home.

It's okay, Debs.

Someone's got the heat on.

This is Ian's.

Yo, Ian!

[Indistinct singing]

Someone's coming.

[Indistinct singing]

sh*t.

Aah!

Sorry!

I have got a g*n, you m*therf*ckers!

I will sh**t you full of holes!

No, please don't do that!

We're just looking for our brother!

Looking for who?

Ian Gallagher?

Or-- or Monica? She live here?

Who are you?

Do you really have a g*n?

Yeah!

And Monica don't live here no more.

Okay, look, this is our brother's stuff, okay?

So he lives here, right?

Look, we're just trying to find him.

He's at work.

And where's that?

[Sighs]

The White Swallow.

Wait, the what?

The White Swallow, in Boystown.

All right, thank you. Thank you.

Yeah, I was calling to say I'm not really much in the mood for a party.

Well, that's too damn bad, 'cause Kev and I are coming over with a gallon of "Ivan The Terrible" vodka and a bucket of Cool Ranch Doritos.

Now it's a party.

Coke?

Well, booze is the problem.

I can do coke, a little weed.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, I didn't steal anything, I just started the rotors.

Chief says cover all the holes, come on.

Dad, when Sammi was little, did you ever think about her?

Of course I did.

[Exhales]

Well, no, I didn't, but that had more to do with her mother.

She was a real pain in the ass.

How come?

She wanted me to... get a job, support them, yada, yada, yada.

How old are you now, ten?

12.

Well, soon you'll knock up your first ghetto girl and ditch her.

But, you get to my age, you get perspective.

You learn to embrace the responsibilities that come with parenthood.

Sammi's my last chance to get it right.
