Logan Echolls quotes from Veronica Mars

Logan

Do you even know how to play poker?

Veronica

No, but it must be really hard if all you guys play.

You know what, it sounds like you blame Veronica.

Logan

You know, Veronica was my friend too. And if she hadn't ratted me out, then Lilly and I would have stayed together. And Lilly wouldn't have been alone that day. I would have been there. So, yeah, I blame Veronica. And I blame myself for being stupid. And I blame Lilly for being a bitch that week.

You know, there is another way of looking at this, Logan. If you'd still been together, you might be dead too.

Logan

And what is so great about living?

Have you heard from your sister?

Logan

She sent a telegram. Heartbroken. Stop. Can't make it back from Sydney. Stop. Underwater shoot starts tomorrow. Stop. Entire crew said prayer for Mom. Stop. Love you. Stop.

Logan...

Logan

Stop?

Logan

There's a woman who saw my mom get out of her car and get in a van with a "mysterious stranger."

Veronica

There's also a jungle tribe that worships Donald Trump's hair. It's a tabloid.

Logan

So the girl with a pig arm can't really bowl?

Veronica

I just don't want you to get your hopes up.

Logan

I'm not paying you to worry about my hopes; I'm paying you to follow leads.

Veronica

I wasn't aware you were paying me.

Logan

This isn't a favor. It's a job, you know. I mean, we're not exchanging friendship bracelets.

Veronica

I'll stop braiding.

[talking to Veronica] Is it okay if he goes outside? [referring to Logan] I would like to talk to you.

Logan

Dream on, Jump Street, I'm not leaving you alone with her.

Logan

So, what do you think?

Veronica

Like, in general? Or is there a specific area on which you'd like my opinion?

Trina

Pop Tart?

Logan

Hmmm, a Tart from a tart.

Trina

Ye of the sickle wit. Can I ask you something?

Logan

Hmm, would you look at that? [mimics pulling something from his mouth] There was a string attached to my Pop Tart. [tosses away imaginary string]

Trina

Yeah. Well, I'm in a little bit of a jam, and I could use a loan.

Logan

[stops his stopwatch] Twelve hours to hit me up for my dead mother's money. Hmmm, I wonder who had that in the pool.

Trina

You know I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.

Logan

Oh, I do. I do.

Trina

Could I just borrow ten grand? Just for a little while.

Logan

Ten grand?!

Trina

Will you just hear me out, please? My boyfriend Dylan spotted me some cash a few months ago, and now he's bugging me about it. I -- I can't get him off my back.

Logan

Did you try standing up?

Trina

Is Dad still at dinner?

Logan

Yeah, but he's not far. I'm sure if you really tried, you could blow smoke up his ass from here. [pauses] Hey, Trin -- if you take your top off before you get on the mechanical bull, you won't fall off.

Logan

Hey, I need your help.

Veronica

Would it be weird for me to start my own drinking game? Like, I have to do a shot every time someone asks for my help?

Logan

Do you think Lilly loved Weevil?

Veronica

I don't know. Um, Lilly never mentioned anything to me about Weevil. I was wondering when you were going to ask me about that.

Logan

Yeah, well... I don't know. When he's caught in her bedroom, you know, I guess you gotta think.

Veronica

You're handling it a lot better than I thought you would.

Logan

I loved Lilly. And Lilly loved guys.

Veronica

Logan, you know that --

Logan

You know, she used to say that her... her parents worshiped Duncan and tolerated her. And if she couldn't please 'em, she was going to go out of her way to piss 'em off. Weevil must have been perfect for that.

Veronica

I know Lilly loved you.

Logan

Just not like I loved her. [pauses] It's okay. No, you know, it kinda lets me off the hook. You know, I... You know, I don't have to feel guilty anymore.

Veronica

Feel guilty about what?

Logan

Movin' on. [he kisses her]

Veronica

What are we doing? [they giggle]

Logan

No idea. [resume kissing]

Veronica

We need to talk about this.

Logan

I know.

Veronica

Maybe we should just keep it to ourselves for awhile and see what happens.

Logan

Meet in mop closets? Pass each other secret notes in the hallway? [pauses] Come on, I'll drive you home on the back streets.

Logan

I am beyond tardy for my physics class. If I remember right, time travel is not yet possible.

Veronica

So try petty corruption. Tardy excuse slips, date-stamped, untraceable. [pauses] I know people

Logan

So, the place is ours. Dad's at class. Trina's at an extremely important purse-store opening in Beverly Hills.

Veronica

Your Dad is taking classes?

Logan

Exploring the world outside himself. All part of the new Aaron Echolls. Spanish, ceramics, tae kwon do and today, glassblowing with Silvio Pirelli, master of Old World crystal. [points to glass piece] Nice, huh? Just two lessons.

Veronica

And he made a bong?

Logan

An urn for my mom. You know, since there was no body and thus no ashes, he filled it with seawater. Because she jumped into the ocean. Get it? At least it gets him out of the house. [they kiss]

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.

Logan

Secrets are kinda hot, too. [they kiss]

Logan

Ah, mass transit. But why take the bus when you can drive your very own rust bucket? I had my dad's driver pick it up. Full of fresh stolen parts, ready to go.

Veronica

Wow. I'll just try to keep this little gesture in mind this weekend when you and Dick and the Beaver are off getting blasted and scamming cheerleaders.

Logan

Yeah. Yeah, actually I had to tell Dick I'm not available. Because I have other plans.

Veronica

There are cheerleaders with low self-esteem available domestically?

Dick

Uh-oh, someone's got their eye on that Miss White Trash title.

Beaver

Yeah, and making a solid effort in the talent competition, but I'd like to see that car up on some cinder blocks.

Logan

Guys, come on.

Veronica

I know... "Guys, come on! The talent is making a grilled cheese sandwich on the engine block." "Guys, come on, you can't put your car up on blocks in the yard if you don't have a yard."

Veronica

You know I think I can do both sides of this little act now.

Veronica

So how 'bout next time you don't bother; I got it covered.

Logan

You do not want to start today with me, Paco.

Weevil

Are you sure? It was in my day planner under "Goals."
