My favorite lines from Veronica Mars:
Keith: You'll never guess who stopped by today.
Veronica: If you say Josh Hartnett, I am going to be so bummed.
"Be cool, Soda Pop."
"Hey! Earth to Mars!"
Veronica: Why would he have wanted to kill you?
Lilly: Honestly! I was awesome, right?
Keith: That's not funny.
Veronica: I don't know. I'm pretty sure it was.
I have to stop now because I have homework, but those are a few fo them.
what show is that never heard of it
Had to consult IMDB.com, remembering TV lines aren't my strength.
But I do remember most of these, and I love them all!
Veronica: I love the smell of testosterone in the morning.
Logan: This is why I suggested attack dogs, but no, my mother wanted an Alpaca.
Veronica: My father sent me with paperwork for your mom.
Logan: You just wanted to say hi. I would have had my slam book out.
Veronica: I wanted to ask you about the game.
Logan: I've been meaning to ask you something. Does your super sleuth kit come with a decoder ring? Do you have a pen that writes with invisible ink? Never mind. Don't care. Mush! Mush!
***
Logan: This isn't a favor. It's a job you know. We're not exchanging friendship bracelets.
Veronica: I'll stop braiding.
***
Logan: There's a witness who said they saw my mom get in a white van.
Veronica: There's also a jungle tribe that worships Donald Trump's hair. It's a tabloid.
***
Logan: [to Connor] Does the soap box come with the SAG card?
***
Veronica: Am I naked? Because in my nightmares I'm usually naked.
***
Veronica: J. Geils was right. Love stinks. You can dress it up in sequins and shoulder pads, but one way or another, you're just gonna end up alone at the spring dance strapped in uncomfortable underwear.
***
Veronica: If I ever die, do me a favor. Go on Oprah and tell the world that I loved kittens.
Number one favorite line from VM EVER: "Dude, you're like rich dude kryptonite."
"Hey, son. How was school?" (guess it requires the context?)
"Lousy conversation, but the sex wwas fantastic."
"That's not funny."
"I'm pretty sure it was."
"It's easy to play good cop. try being bad cop once." (Actually, this whole episode has AMAZING Keith/Veronica patter.)
ANYTHING that Mac says.
ALL of Logan's oneliners, like at that dance, and when he's talking about Physics homework, and etc.
"Is that what you'd do? You'd rip my throat out? Who's a mankiller, huh?"
"I told you. This is the nice officer of the law who is going to kindly overlook your underage public drunkeness."
"I remember making out. I think he had me pushed up against a wooly mammoth."
"Tonight, we're going to eat like the lower middle class to which we aspire."
"Glad we caught you at home. Can we use your phone? We're both in a bit of a hurry." (I was *rolling* with this one. So. Funny.)
"F.Y.I. If cuddling is the best part, he didn't do it right."
"Hi, Can Dick and Beaver Come out to play?" (or does this fall under the heading of "Logan's One Liners," like "That would explain the absence of balloon animals," etc.
"Flat?"
"Just as God made me."
"Oh, it's so worth it. Congratulations! You've been named the world's biggest cockroach. This award is given in recognition in your unparalleled lack of decency and humanity. Bravo. You're going to die friendless and alone."
"Got any enemies?"
"Well, there's the Klan."
"Their case was fuzzy and circumstantial."
"Oddly enough, those were also her first words."
"Man, I CANNOT escape Tom Cruise."
Oh, so many others... but I will not hijack this thread...
Oh, how does one choose? People have pointed out so many good ones, but . . .
Van Clemmons: Mr. Echolls, I was wondering if I could have a word?
Logan: Anthropomorphic. All yours, big guy.
Logan: [about Veronica's car] Nice car. That must have been a huge cereal box.
Lamb: [reading $100 bill] Veronica Mars is... smarter than me...
Veronica: Oh, you stop it!
Mr. Tom Daniels: You know the glow of your father's wealth and celebrity may be enough to sustain you through high school, Mr. Echolls. But do you know what it will get you in the real world?
Logan: [puts his hands together and looks upward] Please say high school English teacher, please say high school English teacher.
Troy: I'm Troy, by the way.
Veronica: I'm Veronica.
Troy: Really? Veronica. Okay, yeah, that does make a lot more sense.
Veronica: Makes more sense how?
Troy: Ah, it's nothing. I just should never listen to those guys. I mean, really, who names their daughter Trampy McBitch?
And, my favorite from the last episode:
Dean O'Dell: The Sherriff is an idiot. I've met smarter sandwiches
There are so many more, but I'm sure others will come up with them. Good news, though, fellow VM fans--the ratings for the fall finale of VM were the highest ever for the CW in the coveted 18-34 age bracket. So I think we can rest assured that we'll get a fourth season, especially since MSN TV Filter has a link to an interview with Rob Thomas that clearly says "in the fourth season . . ." I guess he's gotten his confidence back. Huzzah!
-C.C.
Okay, here are a few of mine:
Lilly: Don't you watch any horror movies? My soul is doomed to walk the earth until justice has been served...
Veronica: Really?
Lilly: Yeah that, and as kind of a side project, I dispense fashion advice.
**
Logan: Annoy, tiny blonde one, annoy like the wind!
**
Veronica: Why would he have wanted to kill you?
Lilly: Honestly! I was awesome, right?
**
Clemmons: I can't decide if my life is going to be easier or more difficult with you gone. Anything I should know in case I get another one like you someday?
Veronica: Don't keep all your passwords taped on the bottom of your stapler. And stay cool Mr C."
**
And this one, which may be the most powerful line I've heard on television.
VM Voiceover: You want to know how I lost my virginity? So do I.
Mac: Your wish is my Shift-Command.
Best. Line. Ever.
Ok I few of my wuotes have been hijacked but thats ok. I figured I'd add to the running comedic quote line that has been created.
Veronica Voiceover: Here it is, first day of college. What do you say, Veronica? New school, fresh start — how about you try not to piss anyone off this time around?
Professor Landry: I've been asked to plug the Criminology department's mentoring program. We work with at-risk kids here in Neptune. Our philosophy is that it's better to prevent crimes through intervention than be forced to solve them later.
Veronica: Doesn't look like they jimmied their way in.
Piz: It wasn't locked.
Veronica: College campus. All your worldly possessions. Where are you from, Brigadoon?
Piz: Portland. Or, well, just outside of Portland, this little suburb called Beaverton. Real salt of the Earth people, you know, minivan in every driveway, chicken in every pot.
Veronica: Where they never ask rhetorical questions?
Piz: A Saturn for a Mars.
Veronica: In Neptune! Yeah, the planets really aligned for this one. Now, move Uranus, the mercury's rising.
Mac: You worked in a coffee shop. How do you not know that an Irish Coffee has whiskey in it?
Veronica: At Java the Hut, it meant a latté with a little shot of Irish Cream syrup.
Mac: That explains the first one you ordered.
Veronica: They were magically delicious. And they served me! Boo-yeah!
AND THATS ONLY ONE EP!
Haha! Laurie you should do a quotes breakdown of every ep this season! Or I will...DON'T TEMPT ME!!!
Lol...ok I did ep one, now it is time for ep 2. And whoever anonymous is should do ep 3!
Nish: These? Are great. This other freshman gave me like a hundred pictures of his grandmother sleeping.
Veronica: Was she hot?
Nish: No.
Veronica: Yeah, she's picking a wedgie and she ain't got no alibi.
Nish: Can I tell you how happy this makes me?
Veronica: She tee-peed my house in the tenth grade. Makes me happy too.
Nish: Welcome to the home of Theta Beta. What do you think?
Veronica: I think it's the gateway to Hell, and I don't want to keep looking directly at it.
Veronica: Tasteful floral dresses? All my florals are trampy. Seriously, I don't have a thing with a flower that's not in a tube top or hot pant family.
Veronica Voiceover: What's really worse: getting girls to undress in front a two-way mirror, or getting them to dress like a 50's vacuum ad first?
Veronica: Any chance this one's got a little kick to it?
Marjorie: Sorry, no booze. Them's the rules. But the farther you are from the singing, the less you'll crave intoxication.
Dick: You look exactly like this chick from high school.
Veronica: Oh my God! What are you doing here?
Dick: Fufilling my destiny, it's a sorority party? It's why I left the womb. What are you doing here?
Hallie: Veronica's rushing. And we love her!
Dick: Somewhere in a parallel universe, Bizarro-Dick is being a total killjoy.
Veronica Voiceover: The '70s had the hustle, the '80s the moonwalk. We have the faux lesbian dance.
Veronica Voiceover: The best way to keep a guy at least ten feet away? Dry heave. Vomit is the new mace.
Music: If you like Piña Coladas
Getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a—
Logan: Okay, okay, I'll tell you what you wanna know. C'mere. ...Yes, I like Piña Coladas. And getting caught in the rain.
Keith: 'Sup?
Veronica: I'm not acknowledging that.
Haha there you go season 2 quote coutdown has begun
Veronica: Shocker
*Makes hand gesture*
Weevil: Actually, you're doing scout's honor, your fingers are all wrong.
Veronica: Shut up, not the point!!
Or, it was something like that, it just made me laugh...Here's another
Meg: You believe me, right?
Veronica: You're the last good person here at Neptune High. I believe that cartoon birds braided your hair this morning.
~~
Keith: How's about an early peek at one of your Christmas presents?
Veronica: What about our strict "Christmas morning only" rule?
Keith: This Christmas, we make our own rules. Follow me!
Veronica: [following Keith to her bedroom] I'm so impressed you fit a pony into my room!
~~
Van Clemmons: Mr. Echolls, I was wondering if I could have a word?
Logan: Anthropomorphic. All yours, big guy.
~~
Veronica: Hi, everybody! Say repressed homosexuality.
~~
Logan: F.Y.I If cuddling is the best part, he didn't do it right.
~~
Lamb: [reading something] Veronica Mars is...Smarter than me...
Veronica: Oh, you stop it!!
~~
After her graduation Kieth hands V. an envelope.
Keith: It's something you've always wanted.
Veronica feels it
Veronica: A pony?!
~~
I think that's enough!!
Go see the wizard...
Hee, no problem laurie! Guess I'll have to put my money where my mouth is.
Ladies and Gents: episode 303 in quotes.
"Football: the systematic violation of the Geneva Convention made into a sport. I'm surprised the ASPCA doesn't protest."
Logan: Oh boy — nudity.
Veronica: If you have words written on yourself, it's not nudity, it's political speech. Taking control of one's body to turn the objectifying male gaze back on itself—
Logan: Okay. No more college for you
Veronica: Two gym buddies invite you to a party and you're there already, but whenever I want to do something interesting, you're busy.
Logan: You mean interesting like some fossil wheezing through a novel.
Veronica: First, Martin Amis isn't a fossil,
Veronica: That's what a girl likes to hear. "Darling, do all the weird crap you like, just don't be late for the booty call."
Weevil: Guess I'll go wash some, uh, spoiled bitch's graduation gift from daddy, huh?
Veronica: I'm not spoiled. And, uh...technically, it wasn't for graduation.
Weevil: What about the bitch part?
Veronica: That depends on who you ask.
Weevil: And now I'm working at the car wash. Which, as it turns out, is not as fun as the song might sound
Dean O'Dell: We can download pictures from the surface of the moons of Jupiter onto portable phones, but we can't keep the air conditioning in this office running for more than a week at a time. Is there some clue about the human predicament buried in that fact?
Veronica: Uh...I'm a freshman. I only recently figured out where Waldo was.
Dick: Veronica Mars. Modern college girl on the go.
Veronica: Dick Casablancas. Neolithic college boy on the sauce.
Keith: Didn't he get busted for murder?
Veronica: Assault.
Keith: See, so he's not even a very good murderer.
Nish: Or did you call us in here because you changed your mind and you will stop these idiots from publishing their mysogynistic rag?
Stew: I'm sorry, and did someone say "rag"?
Stew: Where would militant feminists get ahold of a softball bat?
Logan: Hey, so you up for something tonight? Maybe Noam Chomsky is reading the Havana phone book somewhere.
Larry: Look, whoever you are? I'm not a criminal mastermind — I'm just a painter.
Veronica: Yeah. Well, so was Hitler.
Veronica Voiceover: Now, maybe people would say they'd never install a tracking device in their significant other's car, but I think that's just because they don't know how.
Logan: Is this the help desk? 'Cause I need a little help.
Veronica: Let me guess: you have this pathologically suspicious girlfriend and you hope maybe there's a guidebook?
veronica mars is my all time fav show and thiese our some of my fave lines
Veronica: Slushies! Get your ice-cold, frozen... sugar water...
Logan: You had me at "ice cold."
Veronica: What's your poison?
Logan: Oh, emotionally unavailable women. Let's see, uh... I want something that suits my mood.
Veronica: Ooh, I'm sorry, we're all out of liquid evil.
Veronica: Well, I’m going to miss these moments.
Logan: You going somewhere?
Veronica: Oh! You see this?
Logan: Mm-hm.
Veronica: Uh, this is high school. We’re here for four years and then we move on. And all these people you see every day vanish from your life and you never have to think about them again.
Logan: So, we should savour our remaining moments. You should come to alterna-prom.
Veronica: I don’t know what that is.
Logan whips outs folded card and holds it up. Veronica takes it.
Veronica: Wow, you and your drunk 09er buddies get the prom cancelled, and then use your inherited wealth to throw a private prom.
Logan: Well, there was this one girl. She was uh, blonde, petite. Smelled of marshmallows and promises.
Veronica: Promises?
Logan: Yep.
Veronica: That’s the name of my perfume!
Logan: You know, generally speaking, I’ve kinda grown immune to your left field questions. But I’m gonna bite on this one.
Logan: As a rule I like to start every school day with a hot blonde waiting for me in the parking lot.
Veronica: Me too!
Logan: I'm not blonde.
Veronica: Or hot.
The whole dead Felix business has lost its intrigue for me, and when something stops being important to me, my memory gets a little fuzzy.
Wait...who are you?
Jane: Guess you never know where true love's gonna find you.
Veronica: If it comes looking for me, I'll be over by the espresso machine.
Veronica heads back to the counter. Logan arrives just as she gets there.
Logan: Hey. Uh, I know you're busy, but uh, I think I've done something horrible
Veronica: Hey. Do you think this thing... will ever get more normal?
Logan: What, like, will we ever hang at the mall and hold hands and buy each other teddy bears with hearts that say "I wuv you beary much?"
Veronica: Yes. Exactly that. Except I want my bear won through some sort of demonstration of ring-tossing ability.
Can't remember exactly how it went but...
Logan: I have a friend who wants to meet you...
Logan: Veronica Mars...
Logan: No, V as in virgin.
Veronica: Haha
