A Beautiful Mess

[store]

[mandy, olivia, ian and lip are shopping at the store and lip hangs up a call he is on]

lip: It's possible for a guy to be named Jody and not be a douche bag?

mandy: Ever thought about calling him "Choady"?

lip: Tool hijacked my sex buddy.

Ian: Revisionist's history.

lip: What?

olivia: More than a sex buddy.

lip: Nah, that was just my little brain doing all the thinking while my ass was doing all the talking. You guys wanna come on the ice cream truck later?

ian: Can't. Volunteering at the VA.

mandy: That's a waste of time.

ian: It's gonna look good on my West Point application.

lip: You know, you should be figuring out how to work the system instead of playing into it.

ian: America is a meritocracy.

mandy: They don't even make boot straps anymore, then how the hell you supposed to pull yourself up by 'em? Dumbass.

lip: ooh...Dumbass....Hey, I'm totally stealing "Choady," by the way.

[the foursome all giggle leaving the store]

[gallagher house]

[ian and olivia are on his bed doing homework and lip walks in]

olivia: Did you know that the trigonometric moment problem has infinitely many solutions if the Toeplitz matrix a is invertible?

lip: Yeah. Nothing but parking tickets...This Choady guy makes vanilla taste like fucking thai spice.

ian: You ran a background check?

lip: Tony. You know, the only remotely interesting thing is a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend because she threw a camera at him. He's fucking ridiculous, this guy.

ian: You're like Liam when someone touches one of his toys.

lip: I don't find any dirt, I'll just have to make some.

[fiona then walks in]

fiona: You guys think you could hang out at some point Saturday night? Deb's sleepover-- help fill out the guest list?

lip: Sure. - Yeah, I'll bring some strippers and a hookah pipe.[olivia then gives him a wack] I'm kidding...geez...I thought it was funny.

[fiona then walks out of the room]

olivia: well it should be a fun party...

debbie: [comes in] livvy...thank god you're here...please tell me you are coming to my party

olivia: of course debs...i wouldn't miss it...
