Shameless (2011–…): Season 10, Episode 1 - We Few, We Lucky Few, We Band of Gallaghers! - full transcript

Frank milks his injury for all its worth as Debbie, now the self-elected leader of the Gallagher family, cooks up a scam of her own. Lip and Tami get a surprise. Carl returns home from military school and Liam faces an identity crisis.

No, no, fucker, no!

Fuck no!

I am not telling you

what happened last season
on "Shameless"!

Yeah!

Yeah--no!

Not without me, Frank,
you motherfucker!

[Frank]
Put me down. Put me down.

No more!
Ah!

Ooh.

[Fiona] How long
did the doctor say

you were gonna be
like this?

[Frank]
Three to six months.

I think I might
be gay.

Where is this coming from?

Is this because
you're a welder now?

[Debbie] No,
I've just been feeling ways

that I've never
felt before.

Is Liam back
from church yet?

- [Todd] Yeah.
- [Debbie] Where is he?

- [Todd] In his room.
- [Debbie] His room?

Yeah, I've noticed
that you're black.

Your point?

That you have never
made any attempt

to surround me with my own
cultural and racial heritage.

- [Debbie] What's this?
- [Liam] My list of demands.

Once agreed upon,
I'll consider coming home.

[Carl]
I didn't make it past

the first round
of cuts for West Point.

[Debbie] You're going
back to school.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are, Carl.

I'm a loser, Debbie.

So are you done
being a pussy

and ready to get back
to being the man that I love?

[Tami]
Oh, shit.

You guys invited Jabby?

I was hoping
you'd be here.

I've having a lot
of really great sex recently.

Let's go bang one out,

get my average back in
the shitter where it belongs.

Yeah, you know,
I could use

some fresh puke on my shoes,
so that'd be good.

I'm pregnant.

You sure it's mine?

Yeah, I'm sure
it's yours.

[Lip] If you decide
to have this baby,

I wanna make damn sure
it has a father.

[Kev] Anybody order
a hot piece of ass?

[upbeat music playing]

Feast your eyes, boys.

You can look,
but you can't touch.

Is that Jesus?

And I'm thinking maybe
it's time for me to go.

You should go.

What?

You should get
the fuck out.

You deserve it.

You should go
as far away as you can.

A check for $50,000.

"Love you."

Yeah, she does.

[Lip]
And my work boots?

[Debbie] Anything left
in the upstairs hallway

can now be found
in the backyard!

[Lip]
What? Why?

'Cause the hallway
is a public space,

and all public spaces need
to be kept clear of clutter

to allow for safe egress
in the event of fire.

All right.

Can you get out
of the kitchen, Frank?

Hey, shoo.

No pants, Frank.

Hey, good morning, Debbie.

Mwah.

Hi.

Who are you
supposed to be today?

Frederick Douglass.

[Debbie]
Liam, sausage and eggs.

Grab a plate.

I don't eat

- Huh?
- Pork.

I like swine.

Hey!

Ouch.

[Debbie] Only kids under 12
eat for free.

Everybody else pays.

[door slams]

Farhad's letting me

borrow his car
on Saturday to go visit Ian.

[Frank]
Oh, yeah?

[Debbie] Yeah, if any of you
guys want to tag along,

Franny and I are gonna leave
at 8 a. m. sharp.

[Lip]
Yeah, we're in.

Me too.

[Debbie]
Cool. Frank?

What?

[Debbie]
Down to visit Ian?

No one ran a load?

Okay, listen up,

For the last time,
I'm not Fiona.

I've got my own kid
to raise.

If you wanna do your laundry,
do it yourself.

It's right there.

You don't want breakfast, Liam?
Fine.

breakfast?

Slave or freedom breakfast?

Slave breakfast from my new
"Slave Quarters Cookbook,"

grits and okra.

Slaves ate okra?

That's what the book says:
okra, weeds, roots,

whatever we could grow or dig
up behind slave quarters.

Master only gave us a cup
of cornmeal a day to live on.

Want some
blackstrap molasses?

Sure.

What do you think

I wanna ditch
my slave name.

It means "God has done
something great" in Igbo.

I like it.

God definitely did something

Good morning, girls.

Don King, right?

No, Frederick Douglass.

Who?

[Veronica] Author,
orator, escaped slave.

[Kev] Oh, you two studying him
in your "being black" class?

[Veronica] Yep, we are
up to the Civil War.

[Liam] Reconstruction
is next.

[Veronica] Have to cover
the Emancipation Proclamation

and the defeat
of the slave-owning traitor

Robert E. Lee at the hands
of black soldiers

who fought and died to save
America for the white man.

[Kev] I always thought
Robert E. Lee

was some sort
of great general.

Racist shithead.

But don't he have statues?

[Veronica]
Statues all gotta come down.

[Kev]
What the hell is that?

[Veronica]
Chitlins.

- [Liam] Chitlins?
- [Veronica] Pig intestines.

Really?

[Veronica] We gotta eat
what our ancestors ate

if we're gonna understand
what they sacrificed for us.

All right, baby, I'm going to

I'll see you later
at the Alibi.

Bye, girls.
See you later, Fred.

[Frank]
Why can't I get

a couple of hundred bucks
of my Fiona money now?

[Debbie] Fiona didn't
leave you any money, Frank.

She left money
for the family,

and she left it under
my control

because she knows
I'm the only Gallagher

that wouldn't waste it
on frivolous, stupid things.

I've divided Fiona's $50,000
into three categories:

30,000 for essentials,
20,000 for savings.

Savings?

What the hell for?

We need a rainy day
fund, Frank.

Anytime you're around,
it's pouring.

After I take care
of all of the essentials,

whatever's left goes into
the discretionary fund

with money divided equally
for each of us,

you included, unfortunately.

Doctors?

Yep, and dentists.

What's wrong
with the ER?

It's free.

The ER is not free,
Frank.

You just don't
pay your bills.

Garbage disposal,
home repairs.

Taxes?

What's this 600 bucks
you've already taken

out of my nonexistent
discretionary money?

600 bucks, new couch.

There's nothing wrong
with our couch.

You spent the last six months

dribbling your broken leg
juices and piss all over it.

It's perfectly fine.

It's just--

the cushions need plumping,
that's all.

Yeah, we're getting
a new couch,

and it's coming out
of your share.

Oh, no, it is not.

Yeah, it is.

All right, I gotta
go to work now,

you know, that thing
people do to make money

to support their children.

You might want

All right,
three times last night

No hemorrhoids or problems

What's a mucus plug?

a problem with it.

You know, I never thought
I'd be complaining

about having
this much sex.

Enjoy it while you can.

to touch her for months

after Miles was born.

Oh, that's the thing,

You know, it's all

She called me boo

I mean, it's "alien

I don't like it.

It won't last.

Once the baby's born,
with the sleep deprivation,

the postpartum craziness,
and Tami being kind of a bitch,

it's gonna be a rough ride,

Is that valves?

Hmm, and rings.

Cami's making a list
of stuff she thinks

you still need to buy
before your baby gets here.

Oh, come on, man.
Really?

Wha--what about all the shit
we got at the baby shower?

The expensive stuff
nobody around here

can afford to give
at a shower.

It's a fancy breast pump,

baby video monitor
that connects to your phone,

some Scandinavian
car seat-stroller combo thing.

I grew up
around a ton of kids.

I never had
any of that shit.

You know, Frank wouldn't even
buy us diapers half the time.

He'd tape garbage bags
around us,

hose us off in the backyard

Still in
a lot of pain, Doc.

Really,
after all this time?

I can barely sleep.

The pain
is excruciating.

Oxycontin is the only thing
making life bearable.

Hmm, well,
let's take a look.

[screams]

Doc, please, careful.

I haven't touched you yet,
Frank.

I think
that kid surgeon, uh,

musta severed
some nerves or something.

How long's it been now,
six months?

Five.
Five months of agony.

Well, congratulations.

You're healed.

You might experience
some minor discomfort,

but you can take care of that
with some Advil.

Advil?

Yeah, or anything
over the counter will do.

You're cutting me off?

Gotta err on
the side of caution.

Oxycontin
is highly addictive.

We wouldn't want you
to become drug dependent.

Shouldn't you be
titrating me down slowly

like a half a dose
for a year or two,

- Maybe, um--
- Nope.

- Vicodin.
- No.

- Codeine.
- Not a chance.

So that's it.

Yeah, well,
it's better than Junior

[sighs]

[Marji] Jeff is definitely
cheating on me.

But I'm not gonna confront him.

Think I'll just
start sleeping around

until I pick up
a nasty STD,

then give it to him
so he can give it to her.

Serve the skank right.

You okay?

[Dakota]
Tami?

[Marji] Should we
call your doctor?

Ah, ah!

[groans]

- [Dakota] Just breathe.
- [groans]

Ah!

- [Lip] Shit.
- [cell phone quacking]

Hey, can you
get that for me?

[groans]

Lip's phone.

It's Tami.

Yeah, tell her I'll
call her right back.

Can he call you back?

Uh, you're gonna
wanna take this.

Why? Why?
Hey.

[Mikey] Yeah,
so I've been doing

a little bit
of this and that.

I ran a pigeon drop scheme
for a while.

[Frank] Ah, people still
falling for that old chestnut?

Yeah, a sucker
born every minute.

What about you?
What you been up to?

I've been stuck on the couch
recovering for months,

both physically,
my femur,

and from a broken heart.

Unlucky in love?

- Kids.
- Oh.

My firstborn
ran off.

And now
my youngest daughter,

the slutty one that had
the baby in middle school,

thinks she's in charge.

She's got her grubby,
slutty hands

all over
the family purse strings,

won't even cough up
a few bucks

for her old man
to have a cold one

after a long day
of work.

You know, we sacrifice
so much for our kids,

and first chance they get,
wham, bam,

not even "thank you, Dad,"
you know?

I--I--nah.

Oh, oh, oh.

What you doing?

[light instrumental music
playing]

[phone rings]

I thought we were
going to your place.

What are we doing here?

Shopping for a little
home furnishings.

Do me a favor.

Go hit that fire alarm
down there, will ya?

What's in it for me?

What's in it for you?

How about...

[pills rattle]

Where's that alarm?

By the elevator.
