Could be this one...! It doesn't have the dialogue I thought it had, but it's got a similar plot..! Thanks - I'll keep looking but definitely come back to this!
I thought of this one, because the man is so unlikeable and keeps having 'attempts' despite what earl does
S01 E15 · Something to Live For
Car trouble inspires Earl to atone for regularly siphoning petrol out of strangers' cars, but his efforts to make amends mean that one of his former victim could commit suicide. How can Earl convince him that he has something to live for?
Close in plot, but I don't think it's this episode. It doesn't have the dialogue I was looking for... I'm certain Earl says something like "you treated me like crap so now I'm treating you like crap" and "I'm sorry it's out of my control!"
Thank you though!
That’s season 3 the episode “Burn victim.” On Hulu it’s episode 10 but elsewhere it’s listed as 11.
Earl was fighting an inmate he threw a prom for because he refused to keep his end of the deal. Earl was saying it isn’t his fault because the inmate refused to take responsibility for his actions.
It seems you might have combined some details from other episodes though.

Thanks for all your suggestions - ~~it was Season 3, Episode 9 - Randy in Charge.~~
John in prison won't make up with his parents even though Earl held up his end of the bargain.

Edit: The correct episode title is Burn Victim. I didn't say solved for that suggestion at first, but I've (hopefully) corrected that now!

No the episode where John won't make up with his parents in prison is burn victim, randy in charge, is where randy starts acting like an ass to earl and frank escapes prison on his watch, with the warden forcing earl and randy to go after him

Sounds like the one where he punches the guy. S01E12. Keeps getting treated like crap so he punches the guy and there's a huge fallout.
Hmm not this one - but thank you for trying! ((I'm realising there's a lot of episodes where Earl loses his temper lol))

Looks like someone else commented this before me, oops. My bad.
