Quotes

Chuckie: Can I ask you a personal question?
Phil: Okay, I didn't shower before I got in. But nobody takes that rule seriously.
Chuckie: Am I the only one who feels weird around Olivia?
Phil: I don't know about her, but I do feel weird around Tommy when he's around Olivia. She is pretty nice, though. And she didn't cry when I accidentally hit her in the head with a giant snowball.
Chuckie: That was an accident?
Phil: Okay, I was totally aiming for her head. (edit)
Phil: (Looking through binoculars) Man, this baby's so strong, you can make out every pimple on that mountain's butt.
Tommy: Spoken like a true astronomer. Go ahead, Chuckie, take a look.
Chuckie: Uh, no thanks. I'm not ready to look my enemy in the face just yet.
(Tommy stumbles and looks through the binoculars into the ski lodge and gasps)
Phil: What? You see somebody naked? (edit)
Chuckie: (On top of the mountain) Oh, boy, this is high. Phase three, my Aunt Martha! More like phase ten! (edit)
Tommy: You know, Chuckie, it's great hanging with someone you totally gel with, who makes you laugh and is cool.
Chuckie: Thanks, man. I feel the same way.
Tommy: You like Olivia, too?
Chuckie: Oh. I thought you meant... never mind.
Tommy: I mean, at first I liked her as a friend, but now, I just... like her. And this is where it gets interesting. Olivia tried to kiss me yesterday.
Chuckie: She did? So, what did you do?
Tommy: Oh, what any other mature man in the world would do... I smashed a snowball in her face. (edit)
Chuckie: Another day, another gamble of life and limb.
Tommy: Ready for phase two?
Chuckie: Now that you're here. Where's what's-her-name?
Tommy: It's Olivia.
Chuckie: I didn't know there was a test. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Dil is seen at the beginning of this episode, however, Tommy says he is sick. (edit)
When Angelica is on the phone with Daniel, her necklace is moving up and down, even though she is not moving. (edit)
Tommy sees the sign saying that the ski lift is closed so he can't go up the mounatain to help Chuckie. Chuckie sees the sign saying that it is closed so he can't go down the mountain. Yet you can clearly see the ski lift moving carts up and down the mountain after they both saw the signs reading that the ski lift was closed. (edit)
Angelica has the chronology all wrong. Olivia kisses Tommy before Daniel almost kisses Angelica and even if they did kiss the hot chocolate on her lips would've ruined it not Tommy! (edit)
Angelica's red nail polish can only be seen in the scene where she is painting her nails. In the following scene and the rest of the episode, it is gone. (edit)
