Veronica Mars quotes

Wallace

Another big Friday night. You got plans?

Veronica

I don't know. I might take Backup for a run or rent a movie, maybe.

Wallace

Hey, congratulations. You are officially Neptune High's most boring person.

Veronica

Did I mention the movie might be PG-13?

Wallace

Oh, jump back, wild child!

Veronica

What about you, Wallace? Your life still a non-stop Nelly video?

Wallace

Hey, at least I want my life to be a non-stop Nelly video.

Veronica

I gotta run. The counselor wants to see me before class.

Keith

About what?

Veronica

Uh, my schedule and my attitude, not necessarily in that order. Her words.

Can I help you with something?

Veronica

Uh, yeah. The counselor stuck me in here. [Ms. Dent walks over to take informational papers from her] She says I'm disconnected and passionless.

Ms. Dent?

Caitlin?

I'm gonna go down to the gym to talk to people for the student poll.

Be back by the end of the period. And remember that we're a multicultural school with a diverse population of students from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds.

Meaning?

Meaning don't just interview your friends.

Veronica

I printed out the entire browser history from Logan Echolls's computer in his fourth period computer lab class.

Wallace

So is he guilty?

Veronica

Well, of wanting desperately to see pictures of Alyssa Milano naked, yes.

Troy

Flat?

Veronica

Just as God made me.

Troy

Are you always this persnickety?

Veronica

Sometimes I'm even persnicketier.

Veronica

[voiceover] They gave me a choice. I could stand by my dad, or stand by Duncan and my dead best friend's family. I chose Dad. It's a decision I live with every day. And you want to know the kicker? I don't even know what's true anymore. Maybe everyone else is right. Maybe Dad screwed up the investigation. Maybe I gave up my circle of friends - my life - over an error in Dad's judgment.

Troy

Well a wise man once said that a 'No' is like a 'Yes' except with different letters and arranged in a different order and spoken out loud but, you know, it disappears on the wind.

Troy

Guess what I'm doing this weekend.

Veronica

I'm guessing it involves autoeroticism.

Keith

Have you been playing nice with the other children?

Veronica

You know Dad, I'm old school, an eye for an eye.

Keith

I think that's actually Old Testament.

Wallace

Hi, sir. Wallace Fennel.

Veronica

[proudly] Wallace is a friend of mine. [Veronica performs a martial arts gesture with her hands.] Take that, high school guidance counselor.

Keith

So how did she rope you into this?

Wallace

She promised me all the answer keys to... Just promised to be my friend.

Keith

I'd have held out for a better offer.

Wallace

You called your geometry teacher a jackass?

Veronica

That's totally taken out of context. Let me see it.

Troy

Let me see your phone.

Veronica

What are you doing?

Troy

It is now booty-call enabled.

Keith

It's just that I never want you to think your mom's the villain in all this.

Veronica

Isn't she?

Keith

No, it's not that simple.

Veronica

Yeah, it is. The hero is the one that stays and the villain is the one that splits.

Keith

I don't think that's a healthy perspective.

Veronica

It's healthier than me pining away everyday, praying she'll come home.

Veronica

[voiceover] Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on. But if you're like me, you just keep chasing the storm. (pause) The problem with chasing the storm is that it wears you down, breaks your spirit. Even the experts agree, a girl needs closure.
