Shameless US s01e01 Episode Script
Pilot
Nobody's saying our neighborhood is the Garden of Eden.
Hell, some people say God avoids this place altogether, but it's been a good home to us to me and my kids, who I'm proud of, 'cause every single one of them reminds me a little bit of me.
Fiona, my rock, huge help.
Has all the best qualities of her mother, except she's not a raging psycho bitch.
Blow.

Truly, honestly, one of the most heroic things I've ever seen.
Did you see him? Stupid, but, man, heroic.

Uh, my name is Steve.
Uh, I was going to offer to buy you a drink anyway.
Oh.
She'll take a drink.
Hey, where do you think you're going? Uh Are you serious? Where's his stamp? Can you believe this joker? If you were doing your job, he wouldn't have had to.
No stamp, no reentry.
Is he for real? Fat prick.
Fine.
You're all barred.
For what? Uh, drugs.

Shut up, skank.
Watch your mouth.
Or you're going to do what? Okay.

Please, forget it.
Okay.
Come on, let's let's get a cab.

Oh, five hours.
Okay, you're full of shit.
Fuck you.
You ever have a knob job? Once or twice.
Oh.
Wow.
I didn't hear you rushing to tell me.
Yeah, well.
I mean, I thought we tell each other everything.
Unless You got sucked off by a guy.
For instance.
No way.
Lake Forest Lake Forest is not Chicago.
I'm not kidding, Steve.
You are dead if he ever lays eyes on you.
And I mean dead.
I nearly peed myself when you hit him.
Well, I did a little.
Hey.
Hi.
Wait, how many of you guys live here? Not me, I'm one down.
But the old guy next door died in March, which I guess technically makes us next-door neighbors.
So you're a nurse, Veronica? Used to be.
Lying bitch.
She worked housekeeping at Cook County, bedpans and shit-sheets.
Fine.
But I was offered a place in the nursing school.
Fine.
But it never happened.
They fired her for selling medical supplies on eBay.
Will you shut up? We don't even know him.
Steve.
Carl.
Lip.
Debbie.
How you doing, Debbie? Nice watch.
Oh, thanks.
Panerai.
What'd that set you back, about six bills? Plus, Ian.
Hey.
Hey, Debbie, why do they call him "Lip"? His real name's Philip.
Yo, Veronica! You got my keys? What's going on here? This is Steve.
Decked the bouncer at Purgatory to defend my honor.
My honor.
Yeah? Which bouncer? Jimmy Clifton.
Jimmy Cli Well, Jesus, man, put it there! Respect! Guy just stands there, doesn't really do anything.
Yeah, you'll be his third conviction.
Huh? Third or fourth.
Fourth.
Yeah.
I mean, after that much practice, you would think the man would have manslaughter down by now.
No more fuck-ups like last time, like leaving his dad still breathing.
His dad.
Yeah.
Five years, over an '87 Monte Carlo with Fucking Monte Carlo! Okay, come on, time for bed.
Up the wooden hill.
Come on.
- It's not even midnight yet! - Aw, man.
Come on, come on, go! Already? Shut up.
Move, move, move, move, come on.
Yeah, let me take one last look at you, while you're still alive! Here.
What, that's his? Yeah.
Well, company car.
What kind of company? Internet startup? Earning what? Couple mil a year.
High school dropout.
Got a job as a janitor in this small tech firm.
Within a year, he owned it.
Made his first billion by 20.
Two Jags, controlling interest in the Red Wings, kissing his ass.
"Yes, boss.

" Why shouldn't he ride around in style? Oh, you just made that up.
What? Why do you do that? Your face! How is that even funny? It's not even funny How the fuck would I know how much he earns, you twisted dumb prick? I'm not a dumb prick.
Kevin, I just met the guy an hour ago.
Take back "dumb prick"! Hi, nice to meet you.
I'm Veronica.
What's your pre-tax income? Well, you sure didn't mind watching him take his shirt off, now, did you? Huh? Not one bit.
In fact, if you hadn't walked in, Fiona and I were going to knock him down and tag-team him.
Now I guess I'm stuck with you.
Hold on.
The Fiona tag-team, is that an option? 'Cause you know, you can throw that in the mix Anytime you like it, too I'll be doing it, all right All quiet up the "wooden hill"? As quiet as it ever gets.
Straight answer: if I hadn't busted my skull for you tonight, would you have looked at me twice? Who's saying that I looked twice? Oh, you did, then.
I can't.
You know, 90% of the world's problems are caused by tiny words that come in pairs.
I mean, we're healthy and we're happy, but when people ask, we say "Not bad.
" You know, the first time that I saw you dancing, about a month back at Crobar, I was desperate to buy you a drink.
You know, normally I'm shy, so I told myself: I can't.
She won't.
We wouldn't.
And then tonight I see you there again.
All the indications being that I'm getting a second chance to make a good impression.
Tell me to stop, and I'll stop.
Take it slower, slower, slower, slower.
Slower.
Slower.
Slower.
Ah! Ah! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Almost almost Fiona? Shit.
Shit, shit! Fiona! Shit.

Thanks, Tony.

You ready, big man? Let's do it.
Come on.
Here we go.
Kevin, did you miss me, dear? A beer and a bump.
And, uh Billy, you having one? Have one! Go away, Frank.
A pen, Mr.
Beerkeep, it is disability day.
Disability people haven't caught up with you yet? I thought they had some guy following you around with a camera.
They can follow me around all they want to, but they have to actually catch me doing something.
What's with the crowd? Layoff at the Chrysler plant.
You see? That's the problem with working.
Too much instability.
Stress! What the fuck is this? What's left, after I settled out last month's bar tab.
Better start a new one, then.
Oh! And a round for all my friends from the UAW.
Wow.
Really? Fuck no.

Chick thing? You're not that desperate.
Wanting to see you again is desperate? No, feeling like you have to that's desperate.

Oh, so I'm only here for a fuck? Never crossed your mind? Just when you think you've collared your dream girl, her incontinent, alcoholic father appears, wrecks everything, and she's blaming you? Your dream girl? We had drunken sex on my kitchen floor.
Pretty sad.
Quit pretending you don't even know me.
You weren't that drunk.
Hey, it's Phillip.
Hey, it's, uh, Dead Man Walking.
Jimmy Clifton called today looking for you.
No school? Nah, I got some teeth pulled today.
Wisdom teeth? Sugar rot.

You know, little known fact: don't just chew your food on one side, 'cause it can buckle your jaw, which will buckle your hips and affect your posture.
Oh, that's a fact? Skeletal fact.
Lip.
Hey, um, talk out of your ass with that much conviction, you end up needing a much bigger toothbrush.
That's a anal fact.
Listen, thank you for trying to get my purse back and, uh, stuff.
But, uh Stuff? I'm not looking.
Not right now.
Okay.
Is it all right if I leave my number for when you might be? Relax, okay? No.
No, no, you're gonna like it.

An old lady on the train? Oh, yeah, yeah.
The, um, the doors were closing on her walker, and Lip barely got his foot in in time to stop them from Ow! Jesus, Fiona! Can't remember whether that's good or bad.

No.
I know.
15 years! I've done everything in my control What did I say?! What did I tell you?! Sow and thou shall reap.

Reap what? Wh-what are you reaping now? Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
Whatever it is, I'll try.
I'll-I'll I'll really try.
Mom, don't beg him.
If he can do this, then the bastard's not worth it! Hey, you honor thy father! Get fucked! Don't try blaming me for this! You're your own worst enemy, you two.
They say bad things happen in three; they don't.
Twos! You two! Insane.
Hello.
How much you pay for it? I'm not telling you that.
It's a gift.
So you'd remember the phone number, which obviously worked.
Your washer's in the yard, okay? We don't need it, I don't want it.
So you got to come pick it up before it starts rusting.
Oh, is it? No.
Did the guy connect it? Yes.
It's working okay? It's not my favorite color.
Oh, so you've tried it.
Let me smell your breath.
Pork rinds? No.
Um, those are mine.
See? Hey, since when do pork rinds actually come from a pig? Ian, I am the one that signs your check.
What's bad for him is really bad for you.
If you are stupid enough to start lying for him They're just corn chips with fake hair, fake corn even.
Last warning.
You get yourself to that mosque so your dad stops blaming me for the fact that we're all going to hell.
And talk to your mother.
She won't talk to me.
I can't force her to take her meds.
Well, I don't want the cops dragging me out of bed again at 4:00 a.
m.
because she's out in the alley yelling that the CIA is stealing her trash.
But that happened, didn't it? Once.
Four years ago, yes.
But now she's locked in the basement, making a helmet out of tinfoil.
Enough's enough! Boys, come on, let's go.
Get in the car.
Now, I have to take the boys to Cub Scouts at the mosque before all the carpets are taken.
She's your mother; get her to take her Thorazine.
No, boys, no candy.
Come on, let's go.
We're gonna be late.
Let's go, go, go, go, go.
No more! Come on, we're gonna be late.
Hurry up.
Just tell me you didn't go and get some girl pregnant.
No worries.
He hates me.
You just, you look more like mom than any of the rest of us.
You probably scare him.
Yeah? Yeah.
He ain't seen nothing yet.
Did he give you money for the field trip? I'll pay my own way, all right? No, you won't.
You mustet sick of having to think for everybody.
Well, at least I can.
Proves I'm wanted.
Jesus, Fiona, if all you want is to be needed then, congratulations.
You've got yourself a job for life with is joker.
Hey.
Get up.
Dad, get up.
Get up! Good job, Fiona.
I don't know how I could do this without you.
Thanks for all your hard work.
You're welcome, Dad.
My pleasure.
Hmm.
Good night, Daddy.
Hello.
If that wasn't bullshit, what was I wearing? Huh? First time you saw me, if that wasn't a lie.
Black top with gold trim, black shiny jeans, thin shoes straps Sandals.
With your hair pinned high.
Dangly gold earrings that made me smile.
A big watch too big, so it slid up your arm.
But it looked great.
And you were dancing next to red-haired girl in a green dress.
Yeah, yeah, Jenna.
It was Jenna's birthday.
So you were you were watching her, who's a lot better looking than me.
You think so? Really? Yeah, so how come you're not stalking Jenna? Because you you think like that and Jenna doesn't.
Jenna dances for an audience.
You dance like there's no one else in the room.
Your life's not simple, Fiona, and you can't stop it from showing because you're no fake.
You're not lost, you don't need finding.
This whole city belongs to the Jennas, but I'm sick of them.
I swear, Fiona, you're nothing like anyone I've ever met.
You make me want to enjoy my life again.
Are you there? Fiona? Whoa, whoa, whoa , whoa, whoa, wait.
What have I ever done to anybody, never mind you, that made me look unreliable? Un unreliable.
People like you are just way too used to getting your own way.
And by people like me you mean people like what? Okay, wait, all right.
Yes-no.
All you got to do is agree or disagree.
He thinks the sun shines out of his own ass.
Agree or disagree.
Agree.
He's overly generous and that bugs me.
Agree.
Because I'm not used to get Actually very agree.
Because I'm not used to getting spoiled.
Agree.
Okay.
So I lose respect for guys like Steve because people unlike Steve or people diametrically opposite to Steve have always let me down.
So deciding that he's overeducated and has more money than sense is somehow more socially acceptable than asking myself, for instance, why do the men I always date treat me like shit? Fuck you.
It's a question.
Fuck you.
Either-or.
Agree.
He's had a easy life.
Definitely.
And you prefer a guy who's been around the block a few times.
What if I do? Say, D block of a maximum security prison? If he knew how to have fun, yeah, sure.
Fiona, I can't help my upbringing.
So how come it's me again having to apologize for mine? Who's asking you to? We finished here, guys? We're working on it.
You want to wait outside while I pay the bill? Sure.
He's on break? Any second now.
All right.
Well, I can't Good evening, sir.
Thanks.
Outside of me, outside of me No, I can't Get the devil Outside of me, outside of me I don't get all the good things I don't buy and sell cars.
I just sell them.
But the cars I sell are mainly, uh, not mine.
Outside of me, outside of me Still looking for fun, Fiona? Go.
Outside of me, outside of me Outside of me, outside of me Outside of me, outside of me Outside of me, outside of me.
Mom, we have to wear our shoes.
There's bits of glass on the floor.
Maybe Lip could use a drink.
Oh, yes.
Sorry, Lip.
That's okay.
I'm a-I'm a bit off today, aren't I, Karen? So, um, vodka? I could do slow comfortable screws.
Plenty of tequila.
I think I'm out of lime.
Um, definitely gin fizz.
Just a couple of Cokes, Mom.
And some beers.
Beers.
Great, Sheila.
Thanks.
So what if your dad comes back and sees me here? He won't.
That's my fault? He's been looking for an excuse for months.
What kind of impression did you get from my brother? Ian? Yeah.
He seems nice.
Right, but, uh did he pitch a tent? Huh? Did you make him hard? Ever try to play pool with a rope? Well, I have Once or twice Thought I left My life Yo, Kash? In a thousand years Yo, Kash! All right, you stack the butter, I'll do the snacks.
Oh, Jesus Christ, Lip.
Sorry, sorry, Kash.
Just, uh Thanks for the tools.
Any time.
Long as I get 'em back.
Right.
You must be joking.
What, y-you're fucking him? Fuck.
He bought them for you, didn't he? Those shoes.
He's married! With kids! What else does he buy you, Ian?! Stuff.
Now and again.
And you're happy with that? What's that make you, huh? A fucking kept boy at best.
Listen to me, stupid! You think you know everything, but you know shit! Ask me what I've got him, huh? Ask me! CDs, dozens of CDs! Stuff that he's never heard of, stuff I think he might like, 'cause I want him to like the same things that I do.
And a couple Sox tickets for his birthday.
So what's that make you, Lip, huh? It makes you wrong, you fucking smart asshole! Now go back to Kash and promise him that you're not gonna tell anybody 'cause he's done nothing to be sorry for, nothing.
"Fake Muslim cheats on white fundamentalist wife with gutless gay boy.
" Says more about White Sox fans than it does for the rest of us.
I think they're all asleep.
Gotcha! Who's been eating my porridge? Hey, Dad.
This is Steve.
Oh, no, no, no, we met before, but you weren't exactly How much do you weigh? Uh, I don't know.
That would fit me.
You can just ignore him.
And you? Move.
You know what? I better let you get to bed.
Um, but thanks.
It was nice.
Yeah.
Nice, right? Oh no.
Nah.
Who paid for this? Hmm? What the hell's he on? Uh, he thinks he bought Ecstasy, but the only dealer he gets credit from is a schizophrenic.
It's not a case of whether or not I agree.
It's a fact.
If I were a single parent, we'd be on Aren't you a single parent? "Yeah, but if I had tits" Yeah, but if I had tits, Steve, they would double the money.
If you're a guy, they don't want to fucking hear it.
I-I get it, Frank, so it's, "Prove you're looking for work.
" Oh, he's on disability.
Yeah? r what? A tragedy really.
I gave my life to that company.
You worked there a week.
What happened? Uh, slaughterhouse, poultry.
Dangerous work.
Doing my job, unsuspecting, when out of nowhere I am slammed in the ribs by a headless flying chicken.
I was lucky it almost missed me.
And what do I get for my pain and suffering? Followed around by a video camera! Where's the trust, Steve? The sacred bond between employer and employee? Gone, Steve.
It's gone.
How's a guy supposed to work, hurt, with kids this age? Hello? Thank you! Yeah.

Truly, honestly, one of the most heroic things I've ever seen.
Did you see him? Stupid, but, man, heroic.
Uh, Steve.

Uh, I was going to offer to buy you a drink anyway.
Oh.
She'll take a drink.
Hey, where do you think you're going? Uh Are you serious? Where's his stamp? Can you believe this joker? If you were doing your job, he wouldn't have had to.
No stamp, no reentry.
Is he for real? Fat prick.
Fine.
You're all barred.
For what? Uh, drugs.

Shut up, skank.
Watch your mouth.
Or you're going to do what? Okay.

Okay, you're full of shit.
Fuck you.
You ever have a knob job? Once or twice.
Oh.
Wow.
I didn't hear you rushing to tell me.
Yeah, well.
I mean, I thought we tell each other everything.
Unless You got sucked off by a guy.
For instance.
No way.
Lake Forest Lake Forest is not Chicago.
I'm not kidding, Steve.
You are dead if he ever lays eyes on you.
And I mean dead.
I nearly peed myself when you hit him.
Well, I did a little.
Hey.
Hi.
Wait, how many of you guys live here? Not me, I'm one down.
But the old guy next door died in March, which I guess technically makes us next-door neighbors.
So you're a nurse, Veronica? Used to be.
Lying bitch.
She worked housekeeping at Cook County, bedpans and shit-sheets.
Fine.
But I was offered a place in the nursing school.
Fine.
But it never happened.
They fired her for selling medical supplies on eBay.
Will you shut up? We don't even know him.
Steve.
Carl.
Lip.
Debbie.
How you doing, Debbie? Nice watch.
Oh, thanks.
Panerai.
What'd that set you back, about six bills? Plus, Ian.
Hey.
Hey, Debbie, why do they call him "Lip"? His real name's Philip.
Yo, Veronica! You got my keys? What's going on here? This is Steve.
Decked the bouncer at Purgatory to defend my honor.
My honor.
Yeah? Which bouncer? Jimmy Clifton.
Jimmy Cli Well, Jesus, man, put it there! Respect! Guy just stands there, doesn't really do anything.
Yeah, you'll be his third conviction.
Huh? Third or fourth.
Fourth.
Yeah.
I mean, after that much practice, you would think the man would have manslaughter down by now.
No more fuck-ups like last time, like leaving his dad still breathing.
His dad.
Yeah.
Five years, over an '87 Monte Carlo with Fucking Monte Carlo! Okay, come on, time for bed.
Up the wooden hill.

Kevin, I just met the guy an hour ago.
Take back "dumb prick"! Hi, nice to meet you.
I'm Veronica.
What's your pre-tax income? Well, you sure didn't mind watching him take his shirt off, now, did you? Huh? Not one bit.
In fact, if you hadn't walked in, Fiona and I were going to knock him down and tag-team him.
Now I guess I'm stuck with you.
Hold on.
The Fiona tag-team, is that an option? 'Cause you know, you can throw that in the mix Anytime you like it, too I'll be doing it, all right All quiet up the "wooden hill"? As quiet as it ever gets.
Straight answer: if I hadn't busted my skull for you tonight, would you have looked at me twice? Who's saying that I looked twice? Oh, you did, then.
I can't.
You know, 90% of the world's problems are caused by tiny words that come in pairs.
I mean, we're healthy and we're happy, but when people ask, we say "Not bad.
" You know, the first time that I saw you dancing, about a month back at Crobar, I was desperate to buy you a drink.
You know, normally I'm shy, so I told myself: I can't.
She won't.
We wouldn't.
And then tonight I see you there again.
All the indications being that I'm getting a second chance to make a good impression.
Tell me to stop, and I'll stop.
Take it slower, slower, slower, slower.
Slower.
Slower.
Slower.
Ah! Ah! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Almost almost Fiona? Shit.

Rita.
Anne's school called.
She's sick.
Everything up to 204 is clean.
I should be back in a couple of hours.

Okay.
Adios Oh, and take all the toilet paper you need.
Okay.
You ready, big man? Let's do it.
Come on.
Here we go.
Kevin, did you miss me, dear? A beer and a bump.
And, uh Billy, you having one? Have one! Go away, Frank.
A pen, Mr.
Beerkeep, it is disability day.
Disability people haven't caught up with you yet? I thought they had some guy following you around with a camera.
They can follow me around all they want to, but they have to actually catch me doing something.
What's with the crowd? Layoff at the Chrysler plant.
You see? That's the problem with working.
Too much instability.
Stress! What the fuck is this? What's left, after I settled out last month's bar tab.
Better start a new one, then.
Oh! And a round for all my friends from the UAW.
Wow.
Really? Fuck no.
Hi.
Wondering what your schedule's like on Friday.

Oh, so I'm only here for a fuck? Never crossed your mind? Just when you think you've collared your dream girl, her incontinent, alcoholic father appears, wrecks everything, and she's blaming you? Your dream girl? We had drunken sex on my kitchen floor.
Pretty sad.
Quit pretending you don't even know me.
You weren't that drunk.
Hey, it's Phillip.
Hey, it's, uh, Dead Man Walking.
Jimmy Clifton called today looking for you.
No school? Nah, I got some teeth pulled today.
Wisdom teeth? Sugar rot.
Ah.
You know, little known fact: don't just chew your food on one side, 'cause it can buckle your jaw, which will buckle your hips and affect your posture.
Oh, that's a fact? Skeletal fact.
Lip.
Hey, um, talk out of your ass with that much conviction, you end up needing a much bigger toothbrush.
That's a anal fact.
Listen, thank you for trying to get my purse back and, uh, stuff.
But, uh Stuff? I'm not looking.
Not right now.
Okay.
Is it all right if I leave my number for when you might be? Relax, okay? No.
No, no, you're gonna like it.
What am I, what am I even gonna say, all right? You just got to keep talking about science.
I don't know anything about science.
Okay, so just read from the table of elements.
Cerium, erbium, praseodymium.
Mrs.
Jackson.
Oh! Karen is thrilled with you.

Wild salmon with baby carrots.

Kiss and I'll tell.
I'll find out what I got when I open the damn box, all right? All right, I'm late, Karen, honey! I guess I'll see you in the morning.

An old lady on the train? Oh, yeah, yeah.
The, um, the doors were closing on her walker, and Lip barely got his foot in in time to stop them from Ow! Jesus, Fiona! Can't remember whether that's good or bad.
More likely, you two jumped the turnstiles again and he twisted it trying to outrun the transit cops.
No, no! Always elevate extremities! Move before you give him a fucking embolism.

Okay.

Pack of smokes and a lighter.
Shit! I'm not here! I'm not here! What? You don't know us, Fiona! Oh, what have you done? What have you done?! Can I get it through here, is it better coming around the back? Samsung washer.

Well, give me one.

I thought you were broke.
That's what I said.
These were in the washer.
Steve? Yeah.
No.
Uh-huh.
Who's Steve? The other night.
No.
I know.
15 years! I've done everything in my control What did I say?! What did I tell you?! Sow and thou shall reap.
Well, she didn't reap this from me, I'll tell you that.
Reap what? Wh-what are you reaping now? Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
Whatever it is, I'll try.
I'll-I'll I'll really try.
Mom, don't beg him.
If he can do this, then the bastard's not worth it! Hey, you honor thy father! Get fucked! Don't try blaming me for this! You're your own worst enemy, you two.
They say bad things happen in three; they don't.
Twos! You two! Insane.
Hello.
How much you pay for it? I'm not telling you that.
It's a gift.
So you'd remember the phone number, which obviously worked.
Your washer's in the yard, okay? We don't need it, I don't want it.
So you got to come pick it up before it starts rusting.
Oh, is it? No.
Did the guy connect it? Yes.
It's working okay? It's not my favorite color.
Oh, so you've tried it.
Let me smell your breath.
Pork rinds? No.
Um, those are mine.
See? Hey, since when do pork rinds actually come from a pig? Ian, I am the one that signs your check.
What's bad for him is really bad for you.
If you are stupid enough to start lying for him They're just corn chips with fake hair, fake corn even.
Last warning.
You get yourself to that mosque so your dad stops blaming me for the fact that we're all going to hell.
And talk to your mother.
She won't talk to me.
I can't force her to take her meds.
Well, I don't want the cops dragging me out of bed again at 4:00 a.
m.
because she's out in the alley yelling that the CIA is stealing her trash.
But that happened, didn't it? Once.
Four years ago, yes.
But now she's locked in the basement, making a helmet out of tinfoil.
Enough's enough! Boys, come on, let's go.
Get in the car.
Now, I have to take the boys to Cub Scouts at the mosque before all the carpets are taken.
She's your mother; get her to take her Thorazine.
No, boys, no candy.
Come on, let's go.
We're gonna be late.
Let's go, go, go, go, go.
No more! Come on, we're gonna be late.
Hurry up.
Just tell me you didn't go and get some girl pregnant.
No worries.
He hates me.
You just, you look more like mom than any of the rest of us.
You probably scare him.
Yeah? Yeah.
He ain't seen nothing yet.
Did he give you money for the field trip? I'll pay my own way, all right? No, you won't.
You mustet sick of having to think for everybody.
Well, at least I can.
Proves I'm wanted.
Jesus, Fiona, if all you want is to be needed then, congratulations.
You've got yourself a job for life with is joker.
Hey.
Get up.
Dad, get up.
Get up! Good job, Fiona.
I don't know how I could do this without you.
Thanks for all your hard work.
You're welcome, Dad.
My pleasure.
Hmm.
Good night, Daddy.
Hello.
If that wasn't bullshit, what was I wearing? Huh? First time you saw me, if that wasn't a lie.
Black top with gold trim, black shiny jeans, thin shoes straps Sandals.
With your hair pinned high.
Dangly gold earrings that made me smile.
A big watch too big, so it slid up your arm.
But it looked great.
And you were dancing next to red-haired girl in a green dress.
Yeah, yeah, Jenna.
It was Jenna's birthday.
So you were you were watching her, who's a lot better looking than me.
You think so? Really? Yeah, so how come you're not stalking Jenna? Because you you think like that and Jenna doesn't.
Jenna dances for an audience.
You dance like there's no one else in the room.
Your life's not simple, Fiona, and you can't stop it from showing because you're no fake.
You're not lost, you don't need finding.
This whole city belongs to the Jennas, but I'm sick of them.
I swear, Fiona, you're nothing like anyone I've ever met.
You make me want to enjoy my life again.
Are you there? Fiona? Whoa, whoa, whoa , whoa, whoa, wait.
What have I ever done to anybody, never mind you, that made me look unreliable? Un unreliable.
People like you are just way too used to getting your own way.
And by people like me you mean people like what? Okay, wait, all right.
Yes-no.
All you got to do is agree or disagree.
He thinks the sun shines out of his own ass.
Agree or disagree.
Agree.
He's overly generous and that bugs me.
Agree.
Because I'm not used to get Actually very agree.
Because I'm not used to getting spoiled.
Agree.
Okay.
So I lose respect for guys like Steve because people unlike Steve or people diametrically opposite to Steve have always let me down.
So deciding that he's overeducated and has more money than sense is somehow more socially acceptable than asking myself, for instance, why do the men I always date treat me like shit? Fuck you.
It's a question.
Fuck you.
Either-or.
Agree.
He's had a easy life.
Definitely.
And you prefer a guy who's been around the block a few times.
What if I do? Say, D block of a maximum security prison? If he knew how to have fun, yeah, sure.
Fiona, I can't help my upbringing.
So how come it's me again having to apologize for mine? Who's asking you to? We finished here, guys? We're working on it.
You want to wait outside while I pay the bill? Sure.
He's on break? Any second now.
All right.
Well, I can't Good evening, sir.
Thanks.
Outside of me, outside of me No, I can't Get the devil Outside of me, outside of me I don't get all the good things I don't buy and sell cars.
I just sell them.
But the cars I sell are mainly, uh, not mine.
Outside of me, outside of me Still looking for fun, Fiona? Go.
Outside of me, outside of me Outside of me, outside of me Outside of me, outside of me Outside of me, outside of me.
Mom, we have to wear our shoes.
There's bits of glass on the floor.
Maybe Lip could use a drink.
Oh, yes.
Sorry, Lip.
That's okay.
I'm a-I'm a bit off today, aren't I, Karen? So, um, vodka? I could do slow comfortable screws.
Plenty of tequila.
I think I'm out of lime.
Um, definitely gin fizz.
Just a couple of Cokes, Mom.
And some beers.
Beers.
Great, Sheila.
Thanks.
So what if your dad comes back and sees me here? He won't.
That's my fault? He's been looking for an excuse for months.
What kind of impression did you get from my brother? Ian? Yeah.
He seems nice.
Right, but, uh did he pitch a tent? Huh? Did you make him hard? Ever try to play pool with a rope? Well, I have Once or twice Thought I left My life Yo, Kash? In a thousand years Yo, Kash! All right, you stack the butter, I'll do the snacks.
Oh, Jesus Christ, Lip.
Sorry, sorry, Kash.
Just, uh Thanks for the tools.
Any time.
Long as I get 'em back.
Right.
You must be joking.
What, y-you're fucking him? Fuck.
He bought them for you, didn't he? Those shoes.
He's married! With kids! What else does he buy you, Ian?! Stuff.
