Veronica and Elijah Palmer in “Unfinished Business”

Veronica

So obviously that whale thing is a winner, or you wouldn't be telling me it's a loser.

Unless it's really a loser, and I'm pretending it's a loser to make you think it's a winner.

Veronica

Or I'm pretending to think it's a winner, when I actually know it's a loser because you said it's a loser to make me think it's a winner.

Veronica

Or the student has always been the master, and just wanted the master to think the master was the master when he was actually just the student.

These conversations are why your mother left us.

Veronica

That, and the fact you porked your way through my sorority.
