 • Quotes

Ms Hauser: Now. Find a partner, pick a baby.
Veronica: Ooh. Aren't we supposed to have a shot of tequila first?

Veronica: Whatta ya got for me? SAT cheating scam? Toilet cam in the girls' locker room? A sticky divorce, perhaps?

Clemmons: The janitor had a dolly accident last week, moving the permanent records. Your sentence is up when each of these files finds its way, alphabetically, into that cabinet.
Veronica: And I can't use magic, right?

Veronica: Ever hear of genetics, kid? Thanks to your grandma, I've got a 50-50 shot of becoming an alkie. Guess that makes your odds one in four, which isn't so bad. Oh, and there's also this latent mean girl gene. You're lucky you're made out of plastic.

Trina: The play is my master and I am its whore!

Kendall: Big D's Maserati's downstairs. You gotta check it out. You would look so hot in it.
Duncan: Can't I just be loved for me?
Kendall: The Maserati retails for a hundred and fifty grand, but I'll let you have her for half that. You do know how to drive stick, don't you?
Duncan: Actually...
Kendall: Don't worry, I'll teach you. The fun way. We don't even have to leave the couch. Do they, like, chemically castrate you boys over at that school? You don't need Sex Ed. I am Sex Ed.

Kendall: What took you so long?
Logan: Hmm. Well, if I had known you were throwing yourself at my roommate...

Trina: Wait a minute. Are you, like, sleeping with my little brother? What is he, thirteen?
Kendall: Thirteen? He wishes. So, is this your much older sister I've heard nothing about?
Logan: Oh yes, where are my manners? Kendall Casablancas, Trina Echolls. Rode hard, meet put away wet.
Trina: Hm. I'm guessing she's the wet one. Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got places to be.
Kendall: Where? Is there a club where you, Dedee Pfeiffer, Joey Travolta, and Melissa Rivers all meet for drinks?
Trina: There is. I don't think you'd like it, it's twenty-one and over. We're hitting an after party at Chuck E. Cheese, though, if you're free. Okay, well, I need him in bed by ten pm sharp. He's got school tomorrow.

Kendall: Gee Cassidy, I didn't think you liked me.
Cassidy: I don't. But I find value in your desperation.

Celeste: What is she doing here?
Veronica:"She" meaning me? I guess I'm here as Duncan's secret girlfriend. Oh! And we have a love child. Wanna hold her? She's snuggly.
Celeste: I'll pass.

Celeste: I told your father something like this would happen. This is exactly why we should have taken you up to Napa.
Veronica: Not in front of the baby!
Celeste: This isn't amusing, Veronica.
Veronica: It's not. Me, breeding with a Kane? No laughing matter. But look: no one has to know, right? Worst case scenario, things don't work out, I'll just dump her off at the big dance. It worked at your prom, didn't it?
Celeste: Does she ever make sense, Duncan?
Veronica: Does she ever thaw out, Duncan?
Celeste: When I look at your face, all I see is your drunk slut of a mother.

Veronica: We'll be in the bedroom. You don't mind your dirty laundry mixing with your clean laundry, do you?

Logan: Oh, excuse me, Mrs Murphy?
Mrs Murphy: Yes, Logan?
Logan: Hey, you mind if I take a bathroom break?
Mrs Murphy: You always ask to go to the bathroom during this period.
Logan: I know. It's that twelve-pack I slam at lunch, it goes right through me.

Logan: Well, I hope that tape didn't burn too much when they ripped it off. I hear that can leave some chaffing.

Weevil: I thought you killed Felix!
Logan: I didn't.
Weevil: Yeah. I pretty much know that now.
Logan: Oh, are you waiting for the music to swell before you start the apology?
Weevil: We have something in common now: we both need to find out who killed Felix.
Logan: So what, we team up? Get matching capes, I ride shotgun in a sidecar?
Weevil: Somethin' like that, but not yet. You see, I can't let you leave here lookin' the way you did when you walked in. Not if I don't want to end up some bald guy with tattoos who rides the school bus.

Mac: Just tip me off when you're going public.
Cassidy: You know, I think that might be illegal.
Mac: Still. You're admiring my moxie, aren't ya?

Veronica: Okay. Trina, I was lying. That whole bit about wanting to try out for the play, a lie. The truth is...as a baby, you were left in a Neptune High girl's bathroom on prom night twenty-five years ago.
Trina: No way. Ashton Kutcher is hiding somewhere, right? Ashton, come out! You can't get me that easy.

Trina: What, so you mean my mother was, like, one of those trashy sluts that dumped me in a garbage can?
Veronica: I'm pretty sure Celeste Kane is your mom.
Trina: Well, there's worse news you could've given me. They've got billions!
Veronica: I suppose they do. Um...I was gonna use this audition tape to smoke her out. Shame her. I was gonna send the video to all the tabloids.
Trina: You're a rascal, Veronica Mars.
Veronica: Am I? I was thinking I was something else less flattering.
Trina: You know, if we hurry, that tape can make tonight's "Entertainment News." Oh, it's the least Big Pat can do for me after leaving all those pervy messages on my voicemail.

Trina: You know, when I was a kid, I used to imagine that someday I'd find out my parents were, like, movie stars.
Veronica: Trina, your parents actually were movie stars.

Trina: Hey, pops. Hope I'm interrupting.
Moorehead: Trina! Glad to see you're feeling better, I'd heard that you were�
Trina: At death's door? And when exactly were you planning to hook me up with a little bone marrow?
Moorehead: Perhaps we should take this outside.
Trina: Oh, come on, Dad. It's the least you can do for your daughter, after dumping me in the john on prom night.

Veronica: Is gonna put me off them forever. Are you keeping a dead rat in our freezer, or do we have a slam-dunk lawsuit against the processed food industry?
