Post Credit Scene
Billy walks out of The Jockey and is stopped by Shane who says it's time for them to set the boundaries, once and for all. He then goes on to list things Billy can and cannot say about his mother. Billy suggests that she has a nice smile but Shane answers this with yet another head-butt. Billy next says that she has nice eyes, which Shane answers the same way as before. An annoyed Billy comments that it is like he can't say anything, something which Shane agrees and with and says he is happy they agree before offering Billy his hand. Billy doesn't take it at first, worried Shane will hit him again, they shake hands and Shane begins to walk away but stops and return to head-butt Billy one last time, this time so hard Billy is thrown to the floor. She says that it's Billy's face and that he just couldn't help it. This part of the running gag of Billy saying wildly sexual things about Mimi in the presence of her son's.
