Shameless (2011–…): Season 9, Episode 4 - Do Right, Vote White! - full transcript
Election day puts Frank and Fiona in a head to head battle as they each try to round up votes for their candidates. Lip has to make an important choice about Xan's future. Debbie gets in ...
The fuck were you doing
last week
that was more important
than watching Shameless?
Protesting homophobia
and bigotry?
Damn right you were.
- [all cheering]
- Now watch the show!
They made a list
of the rapiest bars
on the South Side,
and The Alibi's number one?
I can't go to public school.
Hopkins made me soft.
I have manners now.
I eat pâté.
There's three weeks
of school left,
and you got to go somewhere.
What if I help you
get better grades?
For free?
No, for protection
from Cracker Girl.
Okay, deal.
Your political contributions
are welcome
and most appreciated.
Mo White is our only hope.
You sure this isn't
about the money, Frank?
Of course it's about
the money, Tommy.
- You got a sister?
- Half-sister.
She's been in and out of rehab,
like, 100 times.
I look after her kid sometimes.
The woman who owns
box 669--
could you tell me about her?
- I mean, what's she like?
- She's a junkie.
Her daughter's in here
all the time looking for her.
There's a kid...
I want you to recommend
to West Point.
I already recommended someone.
- [Wubby] Oh!
- Bitch, I'm not asking.
[winces]
What's his name?
Carl Gallagher.
Aah!
Why do you wear
an ankle bracelet
that shocks you
when you get near a school?
She told me she was 18.
- But...
- But?
She wasn't.

[chuckles]
No.
I'm not feeling so good.
Think I'm coming down
with something.
Buddy, it's not happening.
You're going to school. Go.
It's a waste of time.
I'm not learning anything.
Can you just homeschool me?
No coffee.
Milk or juice.
[Liam] All the famous people
are homeschooled--
Leonardo da Vinci,
Abe Lincoln,
Justin Bieber.
I don't see you
painting the ceiling
of the Sistine Chapel
anytime soon, Biebs.
Go.
[dogs barking, growling]
Hey, Carl, how much longer
those dogs
gonna be dying down there?
It's in God's hands now.
Well, tell God to hurry
the fuck up, all right?
The whole house stinks.
I'm providing
an essential service
to below-the-poverty-line
animal lovers
while racking up
on community service hours
for my West Point application.
- It's a win-win.
- Hey.
Military service
is for losers.
Spoken like a true patriot.
And I'll be proud to protect
your Constitutional right
to be an asshole, Frank.
- What's with the outfit?
- Got to hit the stump with Mo.
Tomorrow's election day.
We're fighting
for the under-represented
Caucasian male.
I think you're on the wrong
side of history on this one.
Oh, I know Mo probably
- isn't gonna win.
- Probably?
[Frank] But democracy's about
fighting for what
you believe is right.
And rounding up as much
campaign contribution cash
as possible.
[Frank] Mo isn't taking money
from lobbyists
and corporate elites.
Only small donations
- from the local citizenry.
- [toaster dings]
[Lip] 'Cause nobody
with any sense
would want to support
a pedophile.
Au contraire,
fruit of my loins.
No less a luminary
than the president
of these United States
supported a candidate
of questionable sexual history
in regard to the chasing
of underage tail.
Yeah, and the guy lost.
How much you getting paid,
Frank?
[Lip]
Here you go.
I take a small stipend,
as is the custom
for campaign managers.
Might not want to wear
that shirt
out of the house, Frank.
[sighs]
Hey, you okay?
Couldn't sleep.
Got used to all the noise
in jail.
It's too quiet here.
First time anybody's ever
said that about this place.
Hey, you meet
your public defender yet?
Geneva and the Gay Jesus donors
got a lawyer for me.
Rich queer,
too much time on his hands
since same-sex marriage
got fixed.
[Lip] All right.
Hey, Xan, Liam, we got to go.
Here you go.
Hey, uh, Ian,
Debbie was supposed
to come home last night.
Franny's sleeping upstairs.
Can you keep an eye on her
until, uh, she gets back?
Debbie didn't come home
last night?
No, no, she said she was going
to see a band with some friend.
[Frank] Just like her mother,
ready to spread her legs
for any guy with a wallet chain
and a flaming skull tattoo.
Still Father of the Year,
Frank.

You have time for breakfast?
Yeah, sure.

- Mm.
Mm.
Patsy's?
Ah, you mind
if we stay in?
I can make us some waffles.
- Waffles?
- Yeah.
I love waffles.
Mm.
And I have fresh strawberries.
- Fresh strawberries?
- Mm-hmm.
- I love fresh strawberries.
- [laughs]
[both laughing]
I just can't believe
that Frank is supporting
that child-fucker Mo White.
I'm surprised anything
Frank does still surprises you.
You have time
to knock on a few doors
for Ruiz with me later?
Ruiz, not Wyman?
Why would I support Wyman?
'Cause she's a woman.
Oh, I should support her
just 'cause she's a woman?
So you would never support
a woman 'cause you're a man?
Ruiz is pro-development,
pro-business.
He'll be good
for the South Side.
[chuckles]
And he'll be good for you.
I'm not gonna apologize
for enlightened self-interest.
That's what makes America work.
Spoken like
a true robber baron.
Spoken like a true socialist.
I'm Irish--
free health care,
free college tuition.
Endless rain,
potato famine.
Bit behind the times,
aren't you?
It doesn't rain?
Patsy's at 5:00.
We'll hit Pilsen.
We got to get
those Ruiz votes out
so I can continue
exploiting the masses.
- [Ford] Mm-hmm.
- [smooches]
[laughs]
[dogs growling, whining]
Oh.
Sure they wouldn't
have been better off
if you'd just gassed them
like you were supposed to?
I couldn't bring myself
to do it.
How are you gonna order men
to kill the enemy
if you can't put down
a couple of old dogs?
What?
That's what officers do--
order men to kill.
What'd you think they were
gonna teach you at West Point,
marching cadences?
Is that what Gay Jesus
would do?
[Ian] What, kill old dogs?
Hell, no.
Gay Jesus is all
about inclusion and grace,
but you're not looking
to get into Heaven.
You want to lead
lean, mean murdering machines.
[Ian] Can't kill a couple
of old dogs,
might be about time
to start considering...
teaching kindergarten?
Nursing school?

You don't think someone
could misinterpret that sign?
What?
How? If you have
a vagina, you're safe.
Vagina Safe Zone.
But it could mean
all the vaginas inside
are safe from disease.
There is no way we are still
on that rapiest bar list.
We have all the signed
sex consent forms,
we took down
all the rapey posters
and the bondage stuff.
It's time to call that bitch
from the Southside Beat
and get her back here
to re-inspect.
Mo, where you been?
I've been looking
all over for you.
Today's about
getting out the Mo vote
and rounding up a few more
campaign contributions
while we still can.
Bus'll be along any minute.
You okay?
Did you see the polls
in the Tribune this morning?
They have us
at six percent, Frank.
Six.
I didn't get back into politics
to be humiliated.
No, no, no, you got to look
at the glass as half-full.
The Tribune had us at three
on Saturday.
You've doubled your support
in two days.
There's the bus.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Yeah?

[indistinct chatter]
[cheers and applause]
Our social media group
is really taking off.
[Geneva] 77,000 new followers
on social media
in the last five days.
Chapters are springing up
all over the country,
and even in Europe.
The Gay Jesus Germans
have unsurprisingly
turned militant quickly
and burned down
two evangelical churches
in Stuttgart.
- [woman] What's up?
- Who are they?
Our Lesbian Legion
from the MMA gym on Racine.
Your gays turned out to be
too sweet to handle security.
[door opens]
[Debbie sighs]
I'm in love.
What's his name this time?
[Debbie] Alex.
Well, Alexandra.
- [refrigerator door opens]
- He's a she?
Sort of.
She's pretty masculine.
- So you're a lesbian?
- [bottle cap pops, clatters]
Yeah, I am.
No, you're not.
You have a kid.
Carl, a lot of lesbians
have children, and besides,
I hate men,
so maybe I am.
We're in love,
and we're moving in together.
[keys clacking]
[pounding on door]
- You gonna get that?
- [Debbie] Nope.
- Yo, I'm coming!
- [pounding continues]
You Carl Gallagher?
Yeah.
What the fuck?
You took my recommendation
to West Point.
Congressman Ubberman promised
it to me, and you stole it.
I think you broke my nose!
Now my dad says
I got to enlist in the Marines.
And that's my problem how?
What the fuck?
Stop hitting me!
I'll fight you for it.
A duel,
to the death if necessary.
I challenged you.
You pick the weapons.
Fists and feet,
guns, knives, bats, bricks...
What the fuck is a duel?
Duty, country, honor--
it's the West Point way.
Meet at Damen Silos,
tomorrow at dusk.
The person still breathing
gets the recommendation.
I was staying at a motel
in Gary,
laying asphalt
after high school.
Invited the front-desk girl
to my room for a few beers.
We ended up having sex,
but she kind of cried
through the whole thing.
What's that called?
Did you stop?
Banging her?
Hell, no.
That's a Kobe.
[Tommy] You think she wanted me
to stop?
You think she was crying
because she was having
a good time?
What's a Weinstein?
Being manipulative
and pathetic.
About the only way
I ever get sex
is being manipulative
and pathetic.
You ever jack off
into a potted plant?
Ask for massages
wearing an open bathrobe?
Hmm?
[Kevin] Rape a couple dozen?
Allegedly.
No.
Then you're probably
an Ansari.
[Kermit]
What's an Ansari?
That's just being a dick.
Slipped a woman
a Quaalude once.
- Then fucked her?
- Mm-hmm.
A Cosby.
What about that handsy Dr. Rob
at the clinic,
with the deep body hugs
and the butt pats?
- A Lasseter.
- Who the hell's that?
Cartoon guy.
He made Toy Story.
I love Toy Story.
Buzz Lightyear!
[chuckles]
- Holy shit.
- What?
- Willy wagging.
- CK.
[Tommy] I mean, I slept
with a woman
I was dating's 19-year-old
daughter last year.
That got a name?
That's a Woody Allen.
W--she made all
the first moves, though.
[Veronica] You're gonna need
a bigger board
for your list, babe.
Consent, gentlemen.
A clear and verbal consent
to participate
in sexual activity,
freely given and reversible.
Even if we're both naked
and already doing it?
Even if you're already naked
- and banging.
- [door opens]
When she says "stop,"
you stop.
Kevin Ball?
- [door closes]
- That's me.
Beth Watson, Southside Beat.
Beth, thank you for coming.
Can I get you something?
Maybe a chilled glass

Thank you, sir.
Thank you so much.
Oh, this is a-a $5.
Did you think it was a $50?
Oh, fuck.
Washington
is a fascinating place.
Incredible opportunities

Hello, girls.
Oh.
Well, it's--you're too young
to vote in this election,
but you make sure to register

Okay?
Off you go. [chuckles]
[Frank] Off you go.
Hello, Kitty.
That's not how you say it, Mo.

[Mrs. Winston]
Liam.
Am I in some kind
of trouble?
No.
We've been monitoring
your test results
during your first weeks here
at Richard Milhous Nixon,
and we don't think we placed
you in the right grade.
Am I getting held back?
That happens a lot
in my family.
No, we're moving you up.

Uh, no.

but three women
just walked into the bar.
I said don't stare.

We're off the rapiest bar list.
No shit?
And there is a picture of you
standing out front.

Oh, man, it's working!
Just sit anywhere

Thank you.

Yes.
I'm Bill Doyle.
I own the Spread Eagle
on 52nd.
Oh, yeah, I know the place.
Uh, deep-fried pickles, right?
So, um...
I was number two
on the rapey bar list.
Then you got off it,
so now I'm number one.
Sorry to hear that, Bill.
You already got women
coming in. Wow.
How'd you turn it around?
I had to take
an honest inventory
about how The Alibi
was contributing
to the oppression of women
and help furthering
the patriarchy.
So maybe you could
stop by the Eagle
and give me a few pointers,
you know?
I mean, I'm willing
to pay you for your time.

Have a seat, Bill.
- [Renee] Hey, Xan.
- [Xan] Hey, Renee.
Hey.
How was school today?
Same.
Eh?
Uh, your snacks

You gonna tell her
about her mom?
Why?
Can't see myself
giving her back to a junkie.
Look, she'd be
Dumpster diving,
sleeping in a cardboard box.
She's still her mom.
Call DCFS.
They deal with this shit
all the time.
I know you're trying
to be a good guy,
but you should've called
a long time ago.
[Fiona]
Come back tomorrow
with an "I Voted" sticker,
and you get free nachos.
You're going to hell.
It's the way of the world,
Tyesha.
Every vote can be bought.
Some votes are just cheaper
than others.
You don't think
giving away nachos
for the Hispanic guy
is maybe a tiny bit racist?
Ruiz is from Puerto Rico.
Nachos are from Mexico.
Hey, Jorge.
- You registered to vote?
- Yeah.
You want to come in
a little later tomorrow,
have time to get
your family and friends
to the polls for Ruiz?
I'm not voting for Ruiz.
[Tyesha] Hey.

Hi.
Is it 5:00 already?

Then we'll go over

I mean, I couldn't kill a dog.
Oh, we had

But hajis?

Confirmed kills.
I promise you,

After that...
it's a hot knife

You know who kills dogs?
Hajis.
Yeah, they eat 'em,
too, okay?
You think about that
when you're killing them.
Okay, they eat your dogs.
And if dogs don't work for you,
then you imagine
they want to kill
your sister or your buddy,
and you imagine that that man

wants to kill your mother.
My mother's dead, sir.
And guess who killed her.
That fucker you just shot
in the face with your M4.
Well, I guess I took
the West Point recommendation
from a kid who had
the spot on it before,
pissed him off, and...
he came over
and challenged me to a duel.
Whoever lives gets to go.
Yeah, that's
typical officer bullshit.
Joker have soft hands?
I didn't feel his hands.
This might be
just the chance you need
to get your kill-feet wet.
I mean, he challenged you,
so you get to pick
the weapons, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- Good.
Pick rifles...
and then shoot the bastard

Why all this sudden passion
for Ruiz?
Wyman always seems to be
on the right side of things.
Wyman supported
Lift the Ban.
Lift the Ban?
Election day is tomor--
Yeah, rent control.
She's for it.
Ah. And Ruiz opposes it?
He's a businessman.
He gets it.
Rents are getting pretty high.
So are property taxes
and utility costs
for apartment owners.
Working people need somewhere
affordable to live as well.
Yeah, and the city
should build them some.
There's lots
of weed-filled lots
all around here
to build low-income housing
without sticking
apartment owners like me
with more regulations
and bureaucracy.
What?
Nothing.
No, go on.
Say it.
Don't think that I'd better.
What, that--

Banging her?
Hell, no.

Rents are getting pretty high.
So are property taxes

Shoot me.

All right, I'll have a limp.
Great poets have limps.
No fucking way.

In a shocking development
on the South Side,
and with all
polling locations
now reporting,
Maurice "Mo" White
is the surprise victor...
- Holy shit, Mo.

of the votes cast.
- [crowd chanting] Mo White...
- You won.

estimates were likely skewed
due to the reluctance

they're actually bigots.
You're a congressman again.

Congressman Mo White
was sworn into office
- on Capitol Hill today.
- [chuckles]
The surprise winner
won a hard-fought campaign
against Isaac Ruiz
and Eleanor Wyman,
capturing 52% of the vote.
Not long ago--
I didn't know Mo had a family.
[man]
He campaigned relentlessly...
He doesn't.
