Top 10 Quotes from Shameless: Season 1

• Frank Gallagher (narration): Me, Frank Gallagher, father, teacher, mentor, captain of our little ship. We may not have much, but all of us, to a man, knows the most important thing in this life… we know how to f**king party!
• Kevin Ball: Frank, what did I tell you?! The day you start paying rent around here, Frank, like the rest of us, you can play whatever sh*t you want. But if you’re gonna pump up this time of night, you’re gonna pump out the stuff that we like, okay?
• Kevin Ball: That’s what I call little mixed-race babies: Tomorrow people. Little people of tomorrow.
• Lip Gallagher: To master the art of the book report, you just take any novel, no matter when it was written, and you argue that the main character is a latent homosexual. No, seriously. Seriously. Now, most English teachers are either gay and agree, or they’re straight, but too scared to disagree and get labeled as intolerant.
• Debbie Gallagher (to Carl): You can’t beat karate when it comes to regulated, sanctioned violence for children.
• Terry Milkovich (to Ian and Mickey): Put some clothes on. You two look like a couple of f*gs.
• Mickey Milkovich (to Ian): Kiss me, and I’ll cut your f**king tongue out.
• Linda (to Ian): You’re not fired. My opinion? You could do better.
• Debbie Gallagher (about Harry Potter): Overrated. Made a better movie than a book. And now with all those kid actors grown up, they’re scarier looking than the villains.
• Mickey Milkovich (to Ian): You say that again, I’ll rip your tongue out of your head. Take your hand off the glass.

• Veronica Fisher: ‘Cause you keep forgetting to buy us a boat.
• Frank Gallagher: Hello, boys. The front door was locked, so I came in the back… no pun intended. You might want to check the locks. Um, I see that you’re preoccupied, so why don’t we put this little loan on my tab? As you were, sailors.

• Mickey Milkovich (to Ian): Not everybody gets to just… Not everybody just gets to blurt out how they f**king feel every minute.

• Kevin Ball: Hey, what can I say? Once you go white, you always stay tight. Hey, I think I just insulted myself.
• Fiona Gallagher (to Frank): 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. I wrote a letter to Santa once.

Top 10 Quotes from Shameless: Season 4

• Mandy Milkovich (to Mickey): You know what? Nothing’s ever your problem. For once, you know, make something your problem.
• Frank Gallagher: Bullying is a vital part of every ecosystem. It teaches kids resilience. The world is a rough place. Bullying is like getting inoculated. It’s a vaccine. And you little sh*ts, you got to learn to stay away from people like my son. That’s what you learn when you get punched in the face by a bully. How do you think Steve Jobs turned out so great? Bullies. And I guarantee Junior here will be getting the hottest chicks when he’s 30 because he got bullied today. You want your kid to peak now? My kid will be picking up roadside garbage in an orange jumpsuit in ten years. Your kid will be in med school curing cancer and getting laid. You’re welcome.

• Mickey Milkovich: Ian, what you and I have makes me free… not what these a**holes know.
• Mickey Milkovich: Hey! Excuse me! Can I get everybody’s attention, please? I just want everybody here to know I’m f**king gay. A big old ‘mo. I just thought everybody should know that. You happy now?
• Svetlana Yevgenivna: I hate the p*nis. Ugly f**king skin stick. Always trying to get in where it doesn’t belong. You like boys. Maybe I like girls. No p*nis is staring at you, hoping to explode like sticky volcano. America… it’s land of choices, yes? Freedom to be me. Freedom to be you. McDonald’s, Burger King on same block. You choose. One, both. Sh*t, maybe we go to Wendy’s instead.
• Kevin Ball: Mickey, have a seat, man. No one gives a sh*t who you bang. Let me buy you a beer. To butt buddies, long may they slam and slap.
• Mickey Milkovich (about Ian): He… he’s depressed? What do you mean he’s… We all get f**king depressed. How the f**k could we not, living around here?
