11x11 - The Fickle Lady is Calling it Quits

[bunniefuu]

[punchy music]

How the hell'd you get in here?

Hey, I'm not gonna tell you what happened last week on Shameless, all right?

Go look it up on g*dd*mn Wikipedia.

I don't want you to sell the house.

Me, Ian, Carl, Liam...

We're movin' out.

I want Franny to have what I had.

I want her to grow up with family.

How about this one?

It's got a heated pool,

- gym, garden.

- [Mickey]

It's on the f*ckin'

- West Side.

- [Ian]

Can we just talk to the lady, take a look at the lease?

I'm not moving here.

Signed the lease.

- You did what?

- It'll be good for us, Mick.

- [crowd chanting]

- [Carl]

Hey, who's that?

The landlord.

He's the guy who called this in.

Need you to step out the vehicle, sir.

- Ha ha ha.

What?

- I said,

- step out of the vehicle!

- Whoa!

Hey, you gotta be kidding me.

Hey, get off of me, man!

I'm arresting you for assaulting a police officer.

You and your fancy S-Class and shiny shoes

- are goin' down!

- Ah!

[Ian]

Kev and V are still in Louisville helping V's mom settle in.

I accidentally got a bartending job.

I maybe got offered a job today, too.

We should sell the Alibi, move down here, and make bank.

If you weren't all Mr.

f*ckin' Fix It, I wouldn't be movin' to the g*dd*mn West Side.

What the f*ck are you gonna do?

Mama's really gonna miss her family.

- You have dementia.

- Have you all talked about what to do with me when it gets bad?

[Liam]

No.

But it'll probably be up to me to figure it out.

Who else is gonna do it?

They all hate you.

Right.

[Frank]

Don't look so glum, kid.

Everybody dies sooner or later.

I lived a good life.

I got to live it my way.

- [Liam]

What do you think?

- [Frank]

It's perfect.

- Mornin'.

- [Lip]

Hey.

- You stay up all night again?

- Indeed, I have, Officer.

[Carl]

Yeah, I'm an officer, but what does that even mean?

All I see is lazy cops who do nothing or hard-ass cops who don't give a sh*t about the community.

It's like I don't wanna be either one of those, so what's the point?

What?

- Nothing.

Never mind.

- No, no.

Look, I'm sorry, man, I do, I wanna listen to you, but could we do it another time?

My brain can't switch gears right now.

- [hammer thudding]

- That's fine.

Jesus... loud!

Early!

Yeah, well, I gotta try and get this finished.

I wanna list the house by the end of the week.

[Debbie]

Great.

Can't wait to get kicked out soon.

[sighs]

We still having this conversation?

Are you still uprooting my daughter and I from the only home we've ever known?

No, No.

I'm selling our home so everybody can have a nest egg and buy their own homes.

[sighs]

Whatever.

I'll still be all alone.

Then go find somebody to be with.

It's not that easy!

I suck at relationships.

I can't take care of you anymore, Debs.

Of course not.

Look, I got my own family to worry about.

- So do I!

- We're adults now, okay?

This is what adults do.

They move on, all right?

Guess I'll go off and find some random old person to marry.

-You should do that.

I'll be out of your hair soon enough...

don't worry.

- [hammer thuds]

- [whispers]

f*ck.

[wood clattering loudly]

[hammer thudding, wood clatters]

[sniffing]

Ohh...

gross!

Ew!

Ass f*ck.

You sh*t yourself, Frank.

What the f*ck?

- [Liam]

Frank.

- I just shat the bed and pissed myself.

- Ew!

- I'm lost.

Spent.

Used up.

- You're just being dramatic.

- I'm hopelessly wandering in a world I don't recognize.

[Liam]

It's just a bad morning for you.

Happens to the best of them.

What are you doing today?

Uh...

nothing.

[Liam]

Me neither.

Let's have some fun.

- I don't feel like it.

- Come on.

It's like you used to always tell me.

Either you run the day, or the day runs you.

I said that?

[sighs]

Just get in the shower.

We're gonna do some Frank things.

Frank things?

Yeah.

Drinking, scamming...

You know, Frank things.

Okay.

[rustling]

[Ian]

Hey, morning.

[Mickey]

Hey.

[Ian]

Where you been?

I, uh, just woke up early, went for a walk.

[Ian]

Oh.

I slept great last night.

You?

The moon's really f*ckin' bright over here.

I'm pretty sure it's the same everywhere.

I... guess so.

[bag rustling]

You wanna check out the amenities in this place?

I'm gonna get some laundry done.

Sure you don't wanna hit up the gym...

go for a little dip in the pool after?

No.

I wanna check to see when our furniture's gettin' here.

Meet up after, then.

Yeah, sure.

Not goin' anywhere.

Okay.

Yeah, good.

I'm glad we rented this place.

- [Arthur]

Carl, morning.

- [Carl]

Arthur.

Beiser's husband made pound cake.

It's in the break room.

Grab some before it's gone.

Or I could just eat the crumbs off your vest.

Mm?

Oopsy-doopsy.

Got a dog at home, eats up all the crumbs on the floor.

Know what we call her?

Um...

Hoover?

Oh, my God, that would have been genius.

- No, her name's Millie.

- [Stamps]

Gallagher.

[Carl]

Sergeant Stamps.

Need you to apologize to Mr. McManus, Carl.

That the guy with the Merce-Benz?

[Stamps]

He's filing a brutality claim against you.

- Me?

What?

Why?

- I'm gonna go with door number two...

slamming the guy against his car.

This can all go away.

Say a few words, "I'm sorry," blah, blah, blah.

- [Carl]

Seriously?

- Most likely, he'll drop the claim.

- It'll save the department K.

- [Carl]

So what?

Every time someone complains, we just apologize and it goes away?

If the person's a rich a-hole with an attorney.

[Stamps chuckles]

Ready?

[Arthur]

You got this, Carl.

[Stamps]

Mr. McManus, Officer Gallagher has something to say to you.

[McManus]

Excuse me if I don't, uh, do a jig.

I got two dislocated discs in my neck, thanks to you.

I'm very sorry about that, sir.

I was out of line, and it won't happen again.

Well, I hope we can all put this behind us.

Officer Gallagher, you may go back to work now.

[Carl]

Thank you, ma'am.

[McManus]

That's it?

You're gonna let him

- get off that easily?

- [Stamps]

Gallagher, hold up.

I'm a victim here.

[Carl]

Yes.

Yes, you are, sir.

I was simply double-parked in front of my building, and you slammed my body up against my car.

I'm sorry about that.

[sighs]

Well, now I know how every Black person in America feels.

[Carl]

Did you actually just say that?

- [McManus]

Say what?

- [Carl]

That you, a privileged piece of sh*t who evicts people from their apartments can relate to how Black people feel, who are literally m*rder*d at the hands of the police department?

Well, yes, as a matter of fact,

- I do relate to them.

- [Carl]

No, stop.

I was fine apologizing to your entitled ass to make this all go away, but I can't play this game anymore.

I spent the last few months trying to figure out what kind of cop I wanna be, and I'll say this, Sergeant Stamps: I haven't met a lot of good role models here.

- Why don't we regroup and...

- But this jagoff made me realize what kind of cop I wanna be now.

[Stamps]

I'm not sure you'll have much of a choice

- at this point.

- I wanna be the type a cop who stands up for those who don't have a voice...

The lost, the forgotten.

They deserve a fair share, even if that means rich pricks like you, Mr. McManus, have to pay the price in order to re-balance the scales of justice.

So, with that being said, I take my apology back.

[McManus]

Mm-hmm.

I'll see you in court, dickwad.

[Stamps, softly]

Gallagher.

[Arthur]

Last piece of pound cake!

Goin' once, goin' twice, sold to Arthur Tipping.

[Rock music]

[indistinct chatter]

[officer]

All right.

All the way down.

All the way down.

[officer]

Hope I don't see you here again.

[woman]

I ain't never comin' back to this sh*thole.

[officer]

Then don't try to k*ll no more cops or nothin'.

I'll see what I can do about that.

Really didn't think I was gonna like it there that much, but everybody's so friendly and nice.

How can Louisville be nice if they don't even have pro sports teams?

They have good college B-ball.

- That doesn't count.

- [Veronica]

Kev!

- It happened.

- Oh, f*ck, please don't tell me that that picture with me with a turtleneck

- resurfaced on the Internet.

- I don't know about that.

But the money came through, deposited into our account.

Look.

- Holy sh*t.

That's a lot of numbers.

- Eighty large!

- How'd ya score that?

- We sold our house.

You got $ , for that piece of sh*t?

Actually, we got $ , .

- What?

- [Veronica]

Yep.

But we had to pay off the bank loan.

- How'd ya sell it so fast?

- Developer left us a note on our door sayin' she wanted to buy it.

It's official.

We're movin' to Louisville.

Holy sh*t, it's official.

We're movin' to Louisville.

Are we really doin' this, V?

Of course we're really doin' it.

- You sellin' the bar, too?

- [Kev]

I guess so.

- Absolutely.

- And everything in it, V?

I mean, what about this?

What about Hulu Lamp Girl?

I love her.

You didn't even know she was here, Kev.

I knew exactly where she...

No!

Hulu Lamp Girl!

Hey, you guys.

[Kev]

Hey.

We sold our house.

Wait.

What?

[Tommy]

Yeah, they're gonna become college basketball fans.

[Kev]

Hey, Tommy, don't ever say that again.

We're movin' to Louisville.

No!

Why is everybody leaving me?

Oh, you can come visit.

We're gonna have plenty of room in our new house.

Why do you guys have such a good relationship?

- We work on it.

- Sex.

I can't even find a partner.

Kev, what's wrong with me?

Uh...

[mumbling]

Never ask a guy that question.

- There is nothin' wrong with you.

- Not true.

Everybody I've ever dated has treated me like sh*t.

That's because you treat yourself like sh*t.

You have to love yourself before anyone else is gonna love you.

Cute.

And total bullshit.

- No, it isn't.

- It is.

That's just what people say when they can't find a partner.

- [Debbie groans]

- Where are you goin'?

[sighs]

Find somebody who can give me a better answer.

[Frank]

Spare some change.

[Liam]

Any little bit will help.

- Please.

- [car horn honks]

Anything will help.

[car horns honking]

- Spare change, please!

- [man]

Get out of the street!

Spare change.

Help me feed my family.

[Liam]

We're homeless.

Hey, Frank, isn't this is fun?

- [Frank]

Yeah.

- [man]

Hey!

Yo, yo, yo, yo!

What are you fellas doin'?

Gonna get smushed!

- [Frank]

Wait, wh-who is this?

- [Liam]

Oh, what's goin' on?

Name's Lester.

I'm not gonna hurt ya.

- [Frank]

Did he say Chester?

- [Liam]

Lester.

You were out in the middle of the street.

Here, take this.

Promise me you'll go home now.

C-can I lead you in the right direction?

Twenty bucks is not gonna cut it...

we got bills to pay.

How'd ya know it was a ?

I have a keen sense of...

My father has partial vision in his left eye.

Come on, son, we gotta go get some more money.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait!

- [car horn honking]

Aw, jeez.

Here's a hundy.

Is this enough to keep you guys out of traffic?

Uh...

- yes, it is.

- [Lester]

Okay.

Great.

Now, please, go home.

[Upbeat music]

Stay safe!

- [horn honking]

- [Frank]

Well, that was fun.

Hey, let's go spend some money.

[Ian]

How's it goin'?

This treadmill taken?

[man]

What?

[Ian]

Nothin'.

[quietly]

You just go back to workin' those ripped, sweaty abs.

Okay, let's see, uh...

cross-country running?

Sure.

Incline...

five.

Speed... ?

Okay.

sh*t!

Never put the speed higher than eight on these new ones.

- [panting]

Thanks.

Virgin?

Only at fancy treadmills.

[chuckles]

- [man]

Just move in?

- [Ian]

I did.

Think you'll like it here.

[Ian]

I think I will, too.

[Upbeat music]

Me and my ripped, sweaty abs will see ya around some time.

[driving rock music]

Shitty-ass moon.

Eh.

Looks good.

- [woman]

Morning!

- Jesus!

- Or is it afternoon already?

- Your dog's wearing a diaper.

Miss Suzannah.

She's a breeding dog.

It's her time of the month.

That's f*ckin' weird.

Hey, you know where I can find the laundry in this sh*thole?

You know, I couldn't help but notice that you just hanged some sort of...

curtain?

Sorry.

Who are you again?

Melanie Runkin, on-site manager.

We met after your husband signed the lease.

From the South Side, right?

- What about it?

- They probably do things differently down there, but here at the Arlington Grove, we have a...

a whites-only policy.

That's some r*cist-ass sh*t.

- I'm talking about curtains.

- Oh.

You can read the guidelines in the CCNRs.

- Come on, Miss Suzannah.

- The CCN what?

[Melanie]

Bye!

Poor f*cking dog.

[Veronica]

It's about , square feet, not counting the back storage area.

Two blocks away from the El.

- Kev, we're not keeping those things.

- Yes, we are!

[Veronica]

Okay?

Yes.

That would be great.

All right, I'll see you there.

That was our commercial real-estate agent.

He's coming by to check out the Alibi.

He said it should sell pretty easily.

- That's our cue to go.

- What?

Why?

If you're selling, we need to start dating other bars.

We gotta find our new home.

Wait, so th-that's it?

You're just leavin' us?

[Tommy]

See ya.

[door opens]

V, we need to slow down a little bit here.

We are moving forward.

- All of this is in our rearview mirror!

- Not mine!

- [Lip]

Yo.

What up?

- [Veronica]

Hey.

- Hey, I'm glad to see you.

- Hey, yeah, I, uh, came by to grab the sink from Stan's old apartment?

You guys said I could have it for the remodel?

Yeah, yeah, come on.

I'm really glad you're here.

I...

I need a guy chat right now, I'm...

I-I need some support.

Well, I'm kind of pressed for time...

can it wait?

Not really.

- [Veronica]

Hey, Lip.

- Yeah.

You can ransack our place.

Take whatever you need.

- What do you mean?

- We sold our house.

Wait, wait, wait...

you what?

[Kev]

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

We did.

I'm just hearin' about this now?

[Kev]

Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

You know?

I'm feeling a little unmoored here.

You guys didn't even do any renovations.

No, buyers are just gonna knock it down.

f*ck me.

Who is this person?

Developer.

Left a note in our door.

I'm sure she left one in yours, too.

They wanna buy three houses on the block.

You serious?

I been bustin' my ass to fix the place to sell, and you guys get an offer just like that?

- large.

- sh*t.

- You still got that note?

- I should.

Let me check.

Hey, Lip?

- Lip.

- Yeah.

Guy chat?

Kitchen sink?

Yeah, sh*t, I'm sorry, Kev.

This is kind of a lot for me to process right now.

- Yeah, how do ya think I feel?

- Ah, here it is.

Yeah.

All right, I'ma call her right now.

And, Kev, I'll call you later, all right?

Yeah, sure thing.

Great talk.

Thanks.

Bye.

f*ck.

You guys aren't gonna be my neighbors anymore.

Despite all of this potentially turning into a major lawsuit for the department, I was very inspired by your speech.

Thank you, sir...

uh, ma'am.

Ha.

Reminded me of why I became a police officer

- in the first place.

- Really?

Your words...

mm, mm, mm...

Brought a tear to my eye.

- Is that so?

- Yes.

It was beautiful.

But you made the wrong choice.

Went against the department.

So you're gonna fire me?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I can't fire you.

Union won't let me.

But I can demote you.

- Demote me?

- Hmph.

Welcome to your new job, Meter Maid Gallagher.

Ha ha.

[Carl sighs]

[Serious rock music]

[sighs]

Mmm.

Oh.

Ahh.

I missed your f*cking green little leprechaun ass.

- [door closes]

- [Debbie]

Hey, Tami.

[Tami]

Hey.

We were just talking about all the hair you grow during a pregnancy.

[Debbie]

Oh, God, don't remind me.

Whenever I would shave my thighs, it would grow back the next day.

It was like I was living in hair shorts.

[woman]

Kids are a pain in the ass.

Uh, what are you doin' here?

Need a haircut?

I need a life.

I'm trying to figure out how to find a relationship that lasts.

- [woman]

You single?

- Yeah.

[woman]

Ooh, lucky!

- No.

I hate it.

- Why?

I mean, I don't want to be alone.

Well, I wish I were sometimes.

[woman]

Ooh, me too!

How can you guys say that?

- [woman]

Easier.

- Yeah, you get to make all the decisions yourself.

[woman]

Don't have to deal with anybody else's baggage.

- Exactly.

- [Debbie]

No.

I want someone to share a life with.

I mean, I wanna take care of someone.

[Tami]

I don't know, Debs.

I-it's possible you might be alone the rest of your life.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I just mean that your parents were really shitty role models.

[scoffs]

Yeah, they were pretty shitty.

[Tami]

Yeah.

They didn't teach you how to connect, be vulnerable, resolve conflict, communicate, compromise.

[woman]

Damn, that's some real talk!

I didn't even know those were things I was supposed to do.

Yeah, and it's not your fault that you don't know those things.

Yeah.

It's Frank's fault.

Yeah.

It is.

I mean, he ruined love for me.

[Frank and woman groaning]

[Frank moans]

[light music]

[Frank]

Thank you, doll.

[chuckles]

See you soon, Frank.

Bye.

Sounds like everything worked out okay in the romance department.

I don't know about romance, but I'm still really good at f*cking.

Frank Gallagher's still got it.

Mm.

Yeah, I didn't even think of it.

Here.

We have extras.

They're clean.

- Thank you.

- We're in apartment .

Just bring it back some time.

- [man]

Washed.

- Alan.

Of course he's gonna wash it before he returns it.

I don't know...

he didn't shower before he jumped in the pool.

- Oh...

- Don't listen to him.

He's a stickler for rules.

- It's written right there.

- Sorry about that.

Didn't see it, but won't happen again.

I promise, Alan.

I'll let it go this time.

- Thanks.

- You just move in?

I did.

With my husband.

Here.

Sit, sit.

I'm Jill.

And Alan, of course.

- Ian.

- [Alan]

So, Ian, what do you do, besides contaminate our pool?

[Jill]

Stop, Alan!

It has chlorine in it.

He's only joking with you.

That's okay, I don't mind.

I, uh, have actually never lived in a place like this before, so this is all new to me.

I grew up on the South Side my whole life.

Well, you're gonna love it on the West Side.

There's so much to do over here.

The restaurants, cafes...

yoga studios.

- Hey, buddy.

- Hey, what are you doin' here?

Came by to see how your first day in the new job was.

I think I'm gonna like it...

Drill on the street and whatnot.

- Finally feel like I have a purpose.

- Good for you.

What are you doin' in that thing?

Sometimes I like to take it for a little joy ride.

Usually people take out a Landi or a 'Stang for a joy ride.

Arthur Tipping takes out the meter maid vehicle.

Hey, I know you don't think I'm very adventurous.

- True statement.

- But I can prove you wrong.

How?

You gonna steal a doughnut from -Eleven?

Break up a fight on a playground?

Talk too loud in church?

- I happen to have a very wild side.

- [Carl]

Ha ha!

You know the "Renegade" Challenge?

- Yeah?

What of it?

- You and me, let's go.

We're officers of the law.

And I'm on duty.

What's that I hear?

You're a scared little p*ssy?

Bitch, you don't know what you're talkin' about.

- And you're not on TikTok.

- Oh, ho ho.

- "Renegade" plays

- Oh, my God.

That's my song!

- Thanks for reaching out.

- Yeah, yeah, you got it.

So, uh, look, I got the note you left on our door, and, uh, the Balls said you bought their house?

Oh, my boss did.

I'm just helpin' her out.

She's lookin' for three houses in a row on this block, and we just acquired that one.

Oh, the old Milkovich house.

So...

so my house would be the third.

If you're willin' to sell.

Could offer you K for the land.

New development goin' up.

Oh, you're pushin' people out, huh?

You know folks have lived here for generations.

- Be unrecognizable soon.

- I got another appointment in, uh, ten minutes, so...

Do we have a deal?

I could, uh, send over the paperwork for you to sign.

Money would be wired into your account in...

under two weeks.

Look, since I'm the last man standing and, uh, you need my house to finish the project, seems only fair I get more than $ .

Well, how much you thinkin'?

I couldn't see myself selling for less than $ .

We could, uh, probably make $ work.

Two seventy-five?

You drive a hard bargain, Mr.

Gallagher.

Let me talk to my boss.

Thank you.

[chuckles]

[Upbeat music]

Get out of the road, Grandma!

[softly]

What the fu...

I can go faster than you with my eyes closed

- and my d*ck in my hand.

- Yeah, very, very funny.

All right, nothin' to see.

Move along.

[Punchy music]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Please, please, please, I'm right here, I'm right here.

Sorry.

Meter's expired.

[sighs]

I know.

I remembered when I was already in line.

I didn't wanna leave and lose my spot, man.

Come on, you know how long it takes in the post office.

Look, I'm just doin' my job, buddy.

[softly]

Oh, f*ck.

How much is the ticket?

I got furloughed last week, and...

[woman]

Hey, sh*t for brains, better not ticket my car.

Seriously, have you nothing better to do than be a bottom-feeding scumbag who can't make a living any other way?

You know what?

You can go, son.

- What?

- [Carl]

Yeah.

Seriously, no ticket for you.

- Seriously?

- Seriously.

I'm the type a cop who gives the poor man a break every single time, no questions asked.

Okay, great.

Thank you.

[Jazzy music]

However, as for you, I'm going to make people like you pay every single time.

You rich fucks are goin' down.

Hey, girls, I need to tell you somethin'.

Sometimes change needs to happen, and when it does, at first, it's really hard.

But in the long run, it's always for the best.

Well, not always.

I mean, I had to change foster families from the Butterfields to the Carrias, and that wasn't so great.

The Carrias liked to b*at me with belts and slippers and hairbrushes.

Yeah, come to think of it...

change is really, really bad.

Kev, what are you doin'?

Just tell them.

Girls, we are leaving Chicago and moving to Louisville.

Cool?

Cool.

That's exactly what I was doing, but I was trying to do it in a delicate way.

- Well, it wasn't workin'.

- [door opens]

[Frank]

Afternoon, my fellow Americans.

- [Kev]

Hey, Frank!

- [Frank]

The finest beer

- for me and my son.

- [Liam]

I'll take a Coke.

Hey, Frank.

Been waitin' for you.

- Ohh!

- [Liam]

Hey!

Hey, are you okay?

Debbie, the hell you doing?

Back up, Liam!

You ruined love for me!

- I'll be alone the rest of my life!

- That's true!

The only way you'll ever have love is to find someone who's even a bigger loser you are.

Then they won't leave you!

- [Frank]

Ah!

Jesus!

- [Liam]

Get off!

[panting]

Come on, Franny.

[Liam]

Are you okay She break anything?

[Kev]

You all right there, Frank?

[Frank, grunting]

Never better.

[Liam]

Guess we can scratch bar fight off the list.

[Frank]

Mm...

God!

Kev, there's something wrong with the beer.

[groans]

- I tapped it this morning.

- It tastes like poison.

- [Kev]

It's fine.

- [Liam]

Maybe try bottled beer.

[Kev]

Yeah, can you get him a Heisler, V?

[Veronica]

What the hell, Frank?

My body's rejecting alcohol.

[Kev]

Jesus, Frank.

[Liam sighs]

Here, try these.

- I'm scared.

- It's just like you told me.

- Feel the fear and do it anyway.

- I said that?

I'm sure you intended to at some point.

[Frank]

It's no use, son.

Who am I without alcohol?

[Liam]

You're Frank Gallagher!

It's my one true love.

But now she's rejecting me.

Oh, sh*t.

You again.

Well, I am the on-site manager.

- How can I help you?

- Haven't gotten - our furniture yet.

- Okay.

You know when it's comin'?

I'm not exactly sure why I would know that.

Where did you order it from?

Order it?

No.

It's the sh*t you guys had.

I want to help you, but I'm very confused.

The furniture, like in the apartment on the tour you showed us...

Where's ours?

Oh!

[laughs]

I get it now.

The apartments, they don't come with furniture.

- Wait, what?

- They're unfurnished.

Why the hell'd you show us one that had furniture, then?

- Uh, that was a model.

- [Mickey]

Huh?

An example of how an apartment can look.

Okay, hold on.

So we don't get any furniture.

No, I'm sorry.

But that is very cute.

I've never had anyone ask me that before.

It's not f*cking cute, lady, you should've told us that sh*t before we signed the stupid-ass lease.

You and your f*ckin' weird-ass dog.

Don't tell me I'm f*ckin' cute for your f*ckin' bullshit, lady.

f*ck it!

You owe me some chairs.

[Alan]

Excuse me.

- You can't take those.

- Like hell I can't, bitch!

[Alan]

But they're for everyone.

Well, guess they shouldn't charge so much rent for an apartment don't have no f*ckin' furniture!

[Ian]

You gotta put the chair back, Mickey.

[Mickey]

What the hell are you doin' in the pool?

This is Jill and Alan.

I don't give a sh*t if it's Siegfried & Roy.

I'm out here gettin' harassed left and right from everybody in this dump, and you're in the pool playin' f*ckin' footsie with these two!

[Ian]

It's fine.

Hey, you can't take the chairs.

We're gonna get fined or evicted.

[Mickey]

You know, I don't give a sh*t!

You know what?

f*ck you and the horse you rode in on, just like everybody else in the f*ckin' West Side!

This place blows!

I'm out of here!

[Jill]

That your husband?

Yep.

- [Alan]

Passionate.

- Yep.

All right, just a couple more minutes, love.

- [door closes]

- [Lip]

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey.

- Guess what.

- Hey, babe.

Brought back the cleaning supplies.

Don't need it anymore.

We're sellin' the house.

I know, that's...

that's why you've been spending

- so much time on it.

- No, I mean we're selling the house, like, right now, right?

I just talked to a realtor who works for a developer who wants to buy up three houses on the block.

She already got two, including Kev's...

she gave him $ .

All cash.

Offered me $ .

I said I wouldn't do it for less than $ .

- Isn't that amazing?

- Okay, whoa, slow down.

- What?

- What are you talking about?

Well, I'm talkin' about us finally having enough money to buy our own place.

Yeah, but you turned down $ , ?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I could make $ .

Right?

I mean, it was a tactic.

I was workin' her over.

You should've seen me.

You would've been impressed.

- I was good.

- Okay, but I'm confused.

So she...

she gave you the $ ?

No, no, no, not yet, but she will, and the best part is, I don't have to spend any more money workin' on the house, right?

I mean, developer's just gonna tear it down.

Look, you know what?

I'm gonna tear out some a the new sh*t I put in the house.

I'm gonna sell it, all right?

[Heavy rock music]

- [man]

Oh, sh*t, it's Heidi.

- That's right, cockroaches!

Heidi's back.

[guttural singing]

[humming]

Thank you for your hospitality.

That don't make up for you being a shitty mama, though.

[groans]

You want me to put your TV program on for you?

- There ya go.

- [siren wailing]

Those f*cking rat-ass neighbors of yours!

Don't be sad if I sh**t some of them.

You are excused for being a shitty car.

Shitty car.

Shitty car.

You, however, are not.

Pow!

[beeping]

[woman]

Oh, no, please, hey, come on.

I'm right here.

Don't give me a ticket, hey.

Sorry, miss.

The meter's expired.

Wha...

Carl!

Tish.

You're pregnant.

- You're a meter maid.

- You have a Lexus?

[chuckles]

It's my boss's.

She lets me borrow it sometimes.

The driver's seat in my car doesn't really go back far enough.

The steering wheel digs into my belly.

Oh.

Yeah.

Are you still gonna give me a ticket?

Of course not.

If I didn't know you, I would.

That's my new mission in life...

f*ck over the rich.

- That's a good mission.

- Thanks.

How long you been a meter maid?

I really hate that name.

I prefer something else.

- [Trish]

Like what?

- I don't know.

- Meter Master maybe.

- Oh!

How about, um...

Ticket Titan?

Ah, that's good, too.

Parking Punisher?

Oh, sexy.

Sultan of the Summons.

- I am the Lord of the Late Fees.

- [giggles]

I gotta get back to work.

Hey, Tish.

- Is that my baby?

- [car door opens]

Thanks for not giving me a ticket.

[car door closes, engine turns over]

- [sirens wailing]

- Wee whoo, wee whoo, wee whoo.

Yeah.

I hear the sirens, too, Franny.

Maybe Grandpa was right.

- Why?

- [huffs]

Mommy's a loser.

What can I say?

Mama's a loser.

[scoffs]

It's true.

If I find a bigger loser than me, maybe then they won't leave me.

Wouldn't that be nice, Franny?

- Having another mommy?

- I want two mommies!

- [sirens wailing]

- Me too.

If only I can find a loser bigger than me,

- then I won't be alone...

- Don't say a f*cking word.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Just go along with what I'm about to do, otherwise I'll sh**t your kid.

In the head.

[sirens wailing]

[sirens fading]

That was nice.

Yeah.

Kind of was.

I'm Heidi.

Debbie.

[door opens]

[Tommy]

Honey, we're home.

Did you miss us?

Well, if it isn't Judas and Brutus.

[Tommy]

Sorry, V.

We should never have left you for another bar...

beer, please.

- [Kermit]

Me too.

- [Tommy]

Where's Kev?

We wanna apologize to him, too.

Brought the girls to a play-date, Trying to see all their friends before we leave.

I'm not gonna lie, V.

It was brutal out there.

Other bars are chargin' $ a drink.

And they have all kinds of rules.

Couldn't take off my shoes.

- [Kermit]

No napping.

- Wouldn't let us run a tab.

Two-drink minimum.

Can't sit down unless you order food.

One place wouldn't even let us in without a valid I.D.

[Tommy]

And that one bar that wanted a credit card before we even ordered anything?

- Total scam.

- Well, I hope you two learned your lesson.

- Please forgive us.

- [door opens]

Well...

look who's back.

Benedict and Arnold.

[Tommy]

Kev.

- [Kermit]

Sorry.

They're gonna have dinner over there, watch the Trolls movie, and Calise's mom's gonna drop 'em off later.

Where'd you get these books from?

- The library.

- What?

Yeah, near Calise's house.

Can you believe it?

We're about to move, and I find out we live next to a library.

Who knew?

- Well, what'd ya get it?

- Well, I went in there to ask that woman who works there...

- The librarian?

- Long gray hair, glasses, oversized corduroy jumper?

- Yeah, that's her.

- [Tommy]

That's her.

- That's the one.

- Yeah.

Okay, well, I asked her if she had books on Kentucky, and check it out...

I'm gonna learn everything there is to know about that dumb old state.

Probably right.

Back at it again tomorrow?

We'll do more Frank things.

- Hiya, Frank.

- Hey.

What's goin' on in here?

Oh, uh, the renovations.

You know, I'm fixing up the house to...

I know what you're doing.

Yeah?

You're looking for that brick of gold we hid when you were years old, aren't you?

I, uh...

I-I was.

- I knew it!

- Busted.

Ha ha ha!

Son!

Don't you remember?

Uh, what's that?

- We buried it.

So no one would find it, except you and me.

Now...

Yeah.

[chuckling]

Good thing I'm here.

[laughing]

I guess I'm gonna put the kitchen back together now.

We're gonna be rich tomorrow.

[chuckles]

[giggling]

[Mellow guitar]

[softly]

sh*t.

- [both laughing]

- [Heidi]

You're adorable.

I feel the same way about you.

[Heidi]

There's a lot about me, though, that you probably aren't gonna like.

Oh, God, don't even get me started.

Me too.

- Like what?

- Pfft, for starters, teen mom, uh...

r*ped a guy once.

Stole a baby.

Almost drowned a girl.

I b*at the sh*t out of...

so many people.

Once I drugged my half-sister and locked her in a shipping crate.

Aw.

Child's play.

- Really?

- Hell, yeah.

- None of that bothers me.

- Good.

How about you?

- Oh, okay, you ready for this?

- Go.

Okay, let's start...

When I'm six, uh, I bit a chunk off my mom's boyfriend's face while he was sleeping.

[distant siren wailing]

[Ian]

Hey.

What are you doin' over here?

Watchin' a bunch a jackasses try the cinnamon challenge.

- You comin' back to the apartment?

- I like it better on the South Side.

You haven't really given the West Side a sh*t.

Look, I don't fit in over there, man.

Neither do I.

But... you know, I'd like to try.

Guess that's the difference between you and me.

We paid first, last, and security.

And they were supposed to give us some f*ckin' furniture.

- We could buy our own.

- We're not gonna agree on anything... we'll have different tastes and sh*t.

So you're gonna stay here, and I'm gonna live over there.

Looks like it.

It's nicer there.

Well, I guess I don't like nice.

- Don't you want a better life?

- No.

- Why?

- 'Cause it's too much...

It's too much f*ckin' pressure, all right?

Okay.

I understand.

sh*t makes me feel uncomfortable.

Fine.

Ahh.

Fine what?

Fine, we'll stay here, then.

Why?

Well, 'cause you're my husband.

If you're not happy there, then we don't have to be there.

- Don't do that sh*t.

- Don't do what?

- Guilt trippin' me.

- I'm not.

Yeah, you are...

You're doing the whole reverse f*ckin' psychiatric whatever the f*ck.

I swear...

I'm not.

What cinnamon challenge things are you watching?

God damn it.

All right, we'll go back.

What?

I'm not changin' for anybody, though.

Nobody wants you to change.

Those gentrifyin' m*therf*ckers do.

All right, maybe you could change an eensy, teensy little bit and not steal anything in the apartment complex.

That's what I'm sayin'.

I feel f*ckin' handcuffed!

That's all I'm asking for.

You can do anything else you want.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Can I piss in the pool?

- Ugh.

Really?

- Yep.

All right, fine, but I want you to come to a yoga class.

- Yo...

no f*ckin' way!

- All right, Whole Foods so we can stare at the organic fruit.

Jesus, really?

That's what you wanna f*ckin' do?

I'm letting you piss in the pool.

[scoffs]

Fine.

You are such a f*ckin' barbarian.

Thank you.

[Kev]

Oh, sh*t.

That's why they call it Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Learn something new every day.

- You ready, babe?

I'm tired.

- Yeah, let's do it.

Do you know that two women from Louisville invented the "Happy Birthday" song?

[clicks tongue]

Oh, my goodness.

- Look at this.

- What?

- Photo...

- Oh.

Of you, me, and Stan.

[Kev]

That's when we first started workin' here.

How long ago you think this was?

- It's at least years ago.

- Wow.

I cannot believe we're uprooting our entire life.

Everything we worked so hard for.

Oh...

I knew there was emotion in there.

[Veronica sniffling, muttering]

[crying]

We're leaving everything behind.

- [sobbing]

- Hey, V.

It's gonna be okay.

[sobbing]

Wait a minute.

Are you faking?

Totally.

Rearview mirror, Kev.

Let's go.

That was just mean.

Sh...

[quietly]

f*ck!

[loudly]

Oh, f*ck!

[Low funky music]

Hey, Kev.

V!
