❝like your any better❞
it was the weekend and molly has nothing to do so where was she, at the gallaghers.
"what more piss food?" lip asks fiona motioning to the lasgna on the counter.
"you know it," fiona answers.
"all right. cup of lasagna anyone?" lip asks
"pass one to me" molly says taking a cup right out of his hand
"who was on dishes today" fiona sighs
"uh I'll get them after lunch" ian tells her
"hey debs, gabs, you girls ready to go to target" vee calls for them from across the house
"oh yea sure" debbie says
"yea targets fun" gabby says going to help debbie with liams high chair before they leave
"what's the smell?" vee asks walking in the kitchen "it's either vomit of fancy cheese"
"it can be both if you want" carl says
"target?" fiona questions
"the girls are gonna go help me register for gifts" she tells her
"i thought the wedding was off"
"back on" vee announces
"kev know?" fiona questions
"mm-hm" vee walks over and takes a big of lasagna from lip "damn tell that girl i will crap on a paper plate for her if she gets me some of this grub"
"same here," molly says joyfully eating her lasagna
"molly no" lip shakes his head
"molly yes. it's free food" she smirks
...
"weddings not gonna work" vee states walking in the house
"what happened?" fiona asks
"mama wants a real priest"
"sheila said she'd made your wedding dress if you want" debbie offers trying to lighten the mood
"oh, that's nice but what good is the dress if i don't have a priest?" vee replies
"you could hire an actor" gabby suggests
"remember the guy who played elmo at my birthday party" debbie adds
"you remember that?" fiona asks her
"he took his head off. it was traumatizing" debbie answers
"yea who wouldn't forget that" molly says
"think an actor could work?" fiona considers
"you know what, molly and i could probably get father pete to do it, if carl will help" lip tells them
"what's it gonna cost me?" vee asks
"uh karen and i use your place friday night" lip says
"done" vee smiles
"ugh gross" molly comments
"yeah yeah" lip elbows her
"father pete? the groper?" fiona remarks
"god willing"
fiona and lip start talking about hot dogs till they see carl put a live fish in he microwave. everyone just stares at him
"what?" he looks at everyone like they're all crazy
"your so weird" gabby scoffs
"you're so weird" carl mimics causing gabby to roll her eyes.
...
later that day molly was over at sheilas helping veronica with her dress
"you don't have to go crazy here sheila but as close to vera wang as you can" vee tells her
"you are going to make a beautiful bride" sheila comments
"aw shiela, you're making me feel like cinderella" vee blushes
"screw cinderella. little doe eyes bitch. probably one of the worst role models for little girls" karen adds
"like your any better" molly scoffs. karens gives her the middle finger
"molly" fiona scolds.
"what. i'm just speaking the truth" molly shrugs her shoulder and takes a chip from the bag fiona brought over.
"well i think you look pretty vee" gabbys points out
"awe thank you gabs" vee smiles
"i think cinderlella was a feminist" sheila says
"the whole idea of marriage is a useless vestige of an archaic civilization" karen explains
"how would you know?" debbie asks her causing fiona to smirk
"i watched one unravel" she says
"don't compare your experience to others" gabby tells her
"oh so one example of a bad one makes them all bad? hmm?" debbie continues
"in olden times marriage was nothing more than a legal exchange of women for property" karen argues
"sure but we don't live in the olden times anymore" molly retorts
"maybe you're being a little pessimistic" fiona tells her
"eh it's just a piece of paper" karen laughs
"a birth certificate is just a piece of paper. and..." debbie starts "money" gabby wshipers "money! money is just a piece of paper. but those are pretty valuable" debbie argues
"true" sheila agrees
"hey gloria steinam enough of the blah blah" vee tells them "let's talk bachelorette party"
"molly and i got that covered. don't worry" fiona smirks
"oh you better"
"mm hm"
"cause we gon be doing it" vee jokingly sings "uh huh. mm hm"
"cmon girls" molly grabs debbie and gabbys hands and they start dancing
"woo hoo!" gabby giggles
"singles ladies! go on" vee continues
...
molly left a little early from shielas house so she could help get the priest for the wedding
"why do i have to do it" carl complains
"cause you're the only one young enough to be an alter boy" lip tells him
"we'll stop him before anything goes down" ian reassures him
"or anyone" lip smirks
molly chuckles "that is so not funny"
"but your laughing" lip points out in a mocking voice
they go to knock on the priests door "the gallaghers boys and the oldest thrope girl. if you're here to steal the offering basket you're out of luck. already off to the bank" the priest explains
"no carl here is interested in being an alter boy" ian states ruffling carls head
"that's a big responsibility" the preist says
"yeah. we know, we tried talking him out of it. but he cried and cried so we thought we'd bring him in. see if you thought he had what it takes" lip states
"hello there, carl" the preist bends down to carls height. carl gives him a smiles
"be back for you in a bit" lip whispers before walking out
"wanna watch scarface again tonight" lip asks them
"can't got a date" ian states
"ooh. mandy date or kash date?" lip questions
"it better be mandy" molly adds
"kash date" ian sighs
"you're a slut man" lip chuckles. ian scoffs. about a second later they hear a grunt that came from the priests office "shit"
when they walk in carls standing over the priest smirking
"nice carl" molly compliments
"huh. looks like we have a priest for v's wedding" lip says
