Frank is introduced to us in Bangkok as an old friend of White Lotus guest Rick (Walton Goggins), who the latter meets up with during his pursuit of hotel owner Sritala (Lek Patravadi) and her husband, Jim Hollinger.

The discussion leads to Frank explaining how he came to be sober, resulting in the delivery of a monologue in which he describes — in detail both graphic and wildly offensive — how he came to stop drinking.

"When I got here, oh, I was like a kid in a candy store," says a deadpan Frank. "If you got money, no attachments, nothing to do. I started partying. It got wild."
That is pretty much the only part of the monologue that's even vaguely PG, and the whole thing lasts for several minutes. It's the type of monologue that can really only be summed up with a facial expression, and fortunately Rick's face says it all.
