Fuck you.
I ain't telling you shit.

Honey, be polite.

It's not their fault
they don't remember.

They have that big steel plate
in their head.

Why else would you not
remember something

that happened
one damn week ago?

It's our new RV.

I guess...we're living
in an RV now.

City basketball clubs

Todd can't keep
his offers straight,

so I'm managing him.

Hey, what's the deal
with Paula?

The deal is, you're fucked.

[Paula] Sparky!
Sparky!

Sparky, Shelly.
Shelly, Sparky.

She's your boss.

Well, vice boss,

'cause I'm your boss.

Stick it to him, Shel.

I negotiated Pepa
down to partial custody

in exchange for some
of Derek's death benefit,

but I can't stomach the thought
of that bitch having

one second alone with Franny.

She ready?

She's gonna piss
on the family's electronics

and start
several small fires,

so yeah, she's ready.

Sweet.

Remember,
you're Franny now.

Didn't think
you'd actually show.

[Debbie] Here I am,
and here's Franny,

on time, as promised.

So I guess
I owe you a check.

I guess you do.

[Pepa] Oh, my God,
everybody get out!

Get out now!

- Franny! What the hell?

Hello, 911?

Keep your wet dreams

Saw an old lady get shot

at the Ashcroft bus stop
last night.

Who hasn't been shot
at that bus stop?

I wanted to help her.
It happened so fast.

Bus driver wouldn't stop.

If you made ten bucks an hour,
you wouldn't stop either.

You know, the streetlights
were out.

We have streetlights?

Yeah, she said they were out
for the past 15 years.

No surprise there.

Why doesn't the city
fix them?

Oh, that's adorable.

Can I wear this tank top?

That's not a tank top.

Supposed

Yeah, well,

She set my couch on fire,

ate a pound

and bit off the tip
of my son's middle toe.

Oh, my goodness.

That does not sound like
my sweet Franny bear at all.

Cut the horseshit, Debbie.

You know, you're the worst

Don't be a stranger, Pepa!

You're welcome back

Hey, what was all that about?

- And who is this?
- [Debbie] Derek's wife, Pepa,

tried to screw me
out of Derek's death benefit,

so Bella over here
was pretending to be Franny

so I could get my share
of Derek's money.

I followed none of that,
and I'm too tired to care.

[Debbie] Here.

Hi!

Come here.

Good girl.

Right there.

Bella!

We're not at Pepa's house
anymore.

We don't eat

Got some of Mickey's shit.

Uh, upstairs, probably.

Who's she?

Milkovich.
Sandy, I think.

Cousin--no, uh,
half sister or...

oh, something.

How many of them are there?

It's hard to know.

You know, when I was
with Mandy,

they were always showing up
paroled, evicted,

on the run from the cops.

Not usually that cute.

Really, her?

I saw some stuff.

Shit's gotta change.

What happened to him?

I don't know.
Not a clue.

I'm still trying
to catch up on your

Derek-dead-wife-Bella story.

Close.

This everything?

As much as I could find.

Hey, anybody, uh,

kind of...brown come around
the house looking for me?

No.

Good.

How is everyone, anyway?

[laughs] Same.

Your brothers are idiots.

Least once a week,
one of them gets drunk,

crawls into my bed,

and tries to get something
off of me.

Fuck 'em,
chop their nuts off

next time they try it.

Or I could stay here with you.

Have fun like we did
when we were kids.

Jeez!

You know that's messed up,
right?

Not like we're related.

We are totally related.
We're fucking cousins!

And you're gay.

Fine, whatever.

Plus, he's taken.

Oh, right, you.

Yeah, good to see you too,
Sandy.

Bathroom's all yours.

Hey, I had shampoo
and shit.

Is there soap anywhere?

You've been gone for years.

You think your brothers
would save that shit for you?

You can use mine.
We'll hit Costco later.

- I'm getting paid.
- I can't, man.

PO texted me
when you were in the shower.

He's got a job for me.

Give me a list
of shit you need

and I'll pick it up for you.

Isn't that cute?

Little domestic bitches.

Mm, thank you!

I shut the stove off
before we left, right?

I'm sure you did.

You're sure as in
you know for a fact,

or you're sure as in
you're trying to shut me up?

The second one.

Should I go back and check?

No!
Worst-case scenario,

our house explodes

and we collect
a ton of insurance money.

We have insurance, right?

No.

Ah, you're late!

Mm.
So what are we gonna do now?

Have sex.

No, I mean, yes, yes,

but what are we gonna do
when we have to go poop again?

Is this your idea of foreplay?

I'm trying to think ahead.

Uh, we can dump it out.
It's that simple.

You wanna be on top,
or should I?

- Uh, no, you can.
- Okay.

So haul buckets of crap
to a porta-potty?

Oh, yeah.
We use toilets in the house.

- All right?
- Yeah.

- Mm-hmm.
- But walk over there

in the middle of the night
in the winter?

Hey, is there any chance
we can talk about this

after the sex?

- Yes.
- Yeah.

- I'm sorry.
- Okay, that's okay.

- Let's do this.
- Yep.

[Tami] Yeah.

You have a condom, right?

No.

We need one.

You just had a baby.

Yeah, and I can have
another one.

Not while you're breastfeeding.

That's an old wives' tale.

- Are you sure?
- [laughs]

I am the ripest
I've ever been right now.

All right, well,
we can Google it,

and then if I'm right,

then, uh, I don't have
to go get a condom.

- Go ahead.
- Right.

Uh, can a woman get pregnant
while breastfeeding?

[Siri] A woman's chances
of getting pregnant

when she's breastfeeding

increase by 40 percent.

[Tami chuckles]

[door slams]

About time, man.

Your Panda Express
is getting cold.

Hey, you wanna know
what I bought from Costco?

I don't know.
Soap, hopefully.

Nothing.
You know why?

Why?
Eat your Szechuan beans.

Paula took
my fucking paycheck.

What?

Something about me owing her
for kickbacks or some bullshit.

That's what POs are like, man.

Sooner you accept it,

the sooner
shit won't bother you.

Okay, okay.
Easy for you to say.

You have do-gooder Larry.

Look, look,
Paula's whole job

is to make your life
miserable.

Your job is to not
let it bother you.

Or I could kill her.

Yeah, great plan.
End up back in the joint.

No, I think
it might be worth it.

I don't know if I can handle
two more years

of this fucking bullshit.

Chill your fucking tits
and eat your noodles, man.

Let's talk
about something else.

[Paula] Fellas!

Hey!
How's it going?

Is that Sbarro?

Love me some Sbarro.

Mmm!

What is this?
You stalking me now?

No, not here for you.
Uh-uh.

So that leaves just
one other person at this table.

That's too fucking bad.

You ain't my PO,
Lollipop Guild.

Let's get out of here,

get some Pinkberry.

That's the rub.

I made a little arrangement
with Larry, so sit.

You're mine now.

Wait, what?

It's never good
in a relationship

when one partner
has a soft PO.

This took a lot of effort
on my part

to make this happen.

Had to have dinner
with Larry and his wife

at the Olive Garden.

Ugh, those kids.

One of them's into magic.

Kept making the breadsticks
disappear.

I wanted to tell him,
"That's not a trick.

You're just a fat fuck,"
but whatever.

Anyway, Larry switched with me,
so...you're welcome.

Why would you do that?

I never had
a Milkovich before.

Always wanted one.

So I seized the opportunity.

All right, I got
a two-person job for you guys,

so let's finish up
with this lunch,

and we're all gonna skedaddle
on out of here, okay?

Grab one more
of those headsets too, okay?

Come on, guys.

Still think I should chill
my fucking tits?

Fuck.

[indistinct shouting
and commentary over TV]

So who are you guys again?

Stella and Bella.

So...you like to party?

Family, this is
my new friend Faye.

Hello.

Franny, you know where Mommy
keeps her torch?

That's not Franny.
She's Bella.

Who the hell's Bella?

I don't know.

She know
where Debbie's torch is?

It's in the kitchen,
next to the dryer.

You know how to use that?

Eh, you-you flip a switch.

It's like a cigarette lighter.

Okay.

That girl Stella in there
is trying to hook up with me.

Cool.
Lucky you.

What do I do?

Take her up to your room.
Dim the lights.

Strike a manly pose.

Put on some sexy music,
like Barry White.

[door clicks open and shut]

This is little Westin.
He's my eighth grandchild.

Wow.
Eight of them.

Uh, 13, actually.
I haven't showed you the rest.

- Hmm.
- Henry here,

he is my Charlotte's oldest.

Now, you can tell
from his eyes

he's a little special needs-y.

[Megan] Oh, my God,
these are so cute.

[Charles] He's ten.

He's ambidextrous

and is a whiz at video games.

He still holds
the highest score in Pac-Man.

[Mark] Hey, kids.

What do you say we, uh...
we take this party

up to our rooms?

Yes.

Wow, that sounds like a...

a wonderful idea.

Debbie?

[Megan] Oh, you know
what we could do?

We could get some
chocolate-covered strawberries

and some champagne.

They have, like, the best
chocolate-covered strawberries

at this hotel.

Hannah!

Hannah, it's me,
Debbie Gallagher.

Hey, uh, this is
my mom's best friend.

I'm gonna say hi.

I'll meet you guys up there.
Hey.

[whispering] Please save me
from this old guy

and go with this.

Debbie?

Oh, my goodness!
You look wonderful.

[Megan]
Are you guys in a suite or...

[elevator bell dings]

Okay, he's getting
in the elevator,

and now he's gone.

- Oh.
- [laughs]

Thank you.

Uh, I'll leave you alone now.

The least I could do
is buy you a drink

and tell you my real name.

Sure.
