No, absolutely not.

We're not gonna be showing you a recap of last week because you were too busy.

Get the hell out of here.

All right, all right, stop your whining.

Fine, here you go.

If you have a vag*na, you're safe.

But...

There's no way we are still on that rapiest bar list.

Who the hell starts a new school with three weeks left in the school year?

f*cking Satchel Boy.

All right, well, you guys just relax.

Just die naturally.

I know of no finer candidate for West Point than Carl Gallagher.

Damn right, you don't.

- Oh!

- Bitch, I'm not asking.

[CARL]

So you're a lesbian?

Yeah, I am.

- I can't do this again.

- Do what?

Falling in love with a straight girl.

It's too painful.

Just go.

What is this?

Kids are working up a few ideas for if you do wind up in prison.

Gay Jesus kids don't want me to cop a plea.

Want me to take it to trial, get as much publicity for the cause as I can.

Yeah, and what's your lawyer say?

Could be looking at to if I don't take a deal.

Holy sh*t, Mo.

- You won.

- [CROWD CHANTING]

Mo White...

You're a congressman again.

[BOTH LAUGH]

My sister says you have my kid.

Xan.

I want her back.

Do you want to stay with me here?

Yeah, that'd be good.

Mom?

I knew you'd come back for me!

Not as bad as Shawnte Watson, though.

She would only closed-mouth kiss me while she would tongue-kiss boys behind my back.

Damn.

Third grade girlfriend?

Second grade still.

No, third grade was, uh, Ronnie Carson.

She would, uh, tell her mom we were getting married.

[DR.

SINGH]

Your body is rejecting your liver.

I've been taking my medication.

You've been on AssimiPro since your transplant.

After about five years, it can tend to lose its efficacy.

I'm going to switch you to Hepatocycline.

Top of the line, just approved by the FDA.

Pretty much zero side effects.

We'll start you on a megadose and an IV right now, and then we'll send you home with some pills.

How much does that cost?

With insurance, maybe bucks a month.

No insurance.

You don't have insurance?

Correct.

Eh, then you're looking at two grand a month.

- What?

A month?

- Jesus.

You could do the generic, Hepazone C...

Been around since the ' s.

How much is that?

Around bucks a month.

Great, start me with a megadose of that, throw in some Vicodin, and my interracial friends and myself will be on our way.

[DR.

SINGH]

I need to go over the side effects with you before you decide that Hepazone is right for you.

I never met a drug I didn't like, but hit me.

Here we go.

- Sporadic blindness...

- [VERONICA]

Blindness?

...paralysis of the face...

Wow.

[DR.

I got a couple minutes before I gotta be at work.

Ha, no way.

Absolutely not.

I'm not gonna even say anything.

I'm just gonna listen.

[FIONA]

Are you kidding me?

He is pleading insanity.

- End of story.

- If he admits he's bipolar, suddenly our entire movement is about mental illness.

[FIONA]

So you want him to go to prison for ten years?

He'll get less if he pleads guilty.

- Excuse me.

- [FIONA]

And even less if he pleads insanity.

Hey!

Does anyone wanna hear what my lawyer has to say?

Look, I know this judge.

- [PHIL]

He understands...

- Excuse me.

If you make him plead insanity, you are putting lives at risk.

Kids all over the world say Ian saved them.

He put his time in.

Now you save 'em.

They don't want Gay Mary Magdalene.

They want gay Jesus.

Well, they can't have him.

He belongs to his family.

Well, is there anyone else coming or...

It's the afternoon.

Maybe everyone's stuck at work.

Yeah, we're a bunch of alcoholics.

What's the likelihood of us all holding down jobs?

Shorter meeting would be better anyway.

Need to get to a gig.

What do you do?

I'm a sober companion.

A what?

I'm a babysitter for drunks.

If an addict has something coming up need to stay sober for, I keep them away from the booze.

They pay you?

I'm getting bucks to keep some teacher dry before an annual review.

I got five grand to keep a prep school quarterback sober during recruitment season.

Anyway, should we review the steps and get out of Dodge?

Yeah, let's do it.

[GRUNTS]

[ALEX]

I swore, I swore, I wouldn't take her back again, and...

after I took her back the third time...

- Debbie?

- Mm.

Did you hear anything I just said?

Yeah.

- No.

- Jesus!

[SIGHS]

I'm sorry.

We've just been sitting here for eight hours.

I don't like talking about my feelings.

It's called lesbianism, Debbie.

It's what we do.

I thought sex with women is what lesbians do.

Yeah, and you're bad at that too.

So do you guys wanna hear the dinner specials?

No, we do not.

Thanks.

Come on, Franny.

Are you kidding me?

I'm supposed to pay for all this food - we ate?

- I don't know.

Why don't you spend the next eight hours talking it over with yourself and let me know what you decide?

You make me want cock again!

Hi.

How were the blueprints?

I don't know.

Couldn't see anything through my blinding rage.

I'm so sorry.

Ian went AWOL - after his lawyer meeting, and...

- [FORD]



And?

Well, I had to go look for him.

Why?

What do you mean why?

Because he's my brother.

Your adult brother.

He's not your responsibility, Fiona.

The only responsibility you had today was to come to an architecture exhibit that I bought tickets to six months ago.

That was your responsibility.

You're gonna lecture me about responsibility, Mr.

Lone Wolf, "I never loved anything that didn't involve reclaimed wood"?

You don't have brothers or sisters.

You left your mother in Ireland.

You fathered children all over the world that you seemingly feel no obligation to take care of, so when in your life have you ever felt responsibility - to anyone?

- Now.

- Yeah, to who?

- To you.

[DR.

You've got a few first-degree burns in your scrotal and penile regions but no permanent damage to the twig and/or berries.

We're gonna keep you overnight, just to monitor for any irregularities in your heartbeat, but you should be able to go home tomorrow.

[VERONICA]

Thanks, Doctor.

Thanks for nothing.

My d*ck's not only soft.

It's charred.

Looks like a Fourth of July barbecue down there.

You better get your sh*t together, Frank.

Kev and I are not gonna spend our lives running you back and forth to the hospital every time Liam calls...

Not for your liver and definitely not for your penis.

Don't blame me.

Blame the aristocracy.

Poor people have sex, Veronica, a lot of it, because you know why?

It's free.

You pay for movies.

You pay for beer...

- You don't pay for beer.

- [FRANK]

...but if you're a halfway decent-looking person, you can get laid, but the aristocracy doesn't want poor people getting laid because that means more poor people being born, so they take our erections.

They jack up the prices of the dr*gs that work and push us into dr*gs that steal our manhood.

An erection does not make a man.

Making good choices makes a man, and right now, you have to choose between your penis and your liver, and, Frank, make the right choice.

my name is Ian Gallagher.

All right, Mr.

Gallagher.

In the case of the state of Illinois versus Ian Gallagher for the felony crime of arson, how do you plead?

[IAN]

Your Honor, a young man was being forced into a van against his will to be taken to a conversion camp.

His would-be captors wanted to deny him of his true nature, and I stopped that from happening, so I will not apologize for that, and the people who were trying to change him were his family, people who were supposed to love him for who he was unconditionally, like my family...

[CHOKING UP]

has loved me.

And to not love...

That is the true crime.

And at the end of the day, everything I did, I did in the hopes that we would learn to love each other the way that Jesus taught and God intended, and, more importantly, the-the way that we all need.

But I understand there are laws, and I broke one.

I set fire to a van, and in doing so, I turned what I intended to be a movement of love into a movement of anger.

Went too far, Geneva.

I was crazy to let it go as far as I did.

Truth is, I am bipolar, I was off my medication, and I was in a manic state in which I was not in control of my faculties, so...

I plead not guilty by reason of insanity.
