Fiona Gallagher: He said if you don’t stop drinking, you’re gonna die. As in dead, you know, like, no longer living? And soon.
Frank Gallagher: When did you start to care?
Fiona Gallagher: Not sure that I do. I’ve dreamt about your death. Put money in a collection box and prayed for it. Blew out my birthday candles, wished for it. If it actually ever happened, I don’t know if I’d feel relief or guilt.
Frank Gallagher (laughs): Your birthday candles?
Fiona Gallagher: I wrote a letter to Santa once.
Frank Gallagher: So I’m supposed to stop drinking so that you don’t feel guilty?
Fiona Gallagher: No. You’re supposed to stop drinking because you have children at home who love you. And I don’t know why. Who would be destroyed if anything happened to you.
