Veronica Mars2004

Keith:
[Veronica is in jail] Please tell me you didn't help an accused murderer escape jail.

Veronica:
Yo Pops, check it out. This girl ain't gonna be nobody's b*tch. You better recognize.

Keith:
[re: a fake tattoo] What's that on your arm?

Veronica:
I've had some free time. And, no, I didn't help Josh escape - not intentionally. Turns out he's allergic to peanuts. His plan was to take advantage of my kindness.

Keith:
That's gotta be the first time that's worked for anybody.

Veronica:
[Cliff McCormack walks in] Clifford, something wrong?

Cliff McCormack:
I've just remembered I need to return "Caged Heat" to the video store. You folks wanna hear the good news or the bad news first?

Keith:
I'm gonna say the good news.

Cliff McCormack:
Josh's cellmate and key witness to the Cookie Incident ate the evidence and, icing on the cake, blew a .21 on the breathalizer when they booked him. No way Lamb can get a conviction and he knows it.

Keith:
That sounds like great news.

Cliff McCormack:
But, he's gonna hold Veronica as long as he possibly can.

Keith:
Can I get you anything, honey?

Veronica:
Uh, couple cartons of smokes. [Keith gives her a look] What, Dad, it's currency on the inside.

Keith:
Any guess where I might find Josh?

Veronica:
Mexico?

Keith:
So you think he did it?

Veronica:
I don't know. If he didn't, he sure panicked quickly.

Keith:
That's what I thought too.

Cliff McCormack:
Anyone wanna know what I think? [silence] Fine, I'll keep it to myself. I'm just saying, my entire day is spent going through my clients' lives. This kid, he's on the up and up.

Keith:
Okay, I've got an appointment with Dean O'Dell's old assistant. I can't just put his murder case on hold. [gives Veronica a look]

Veronica:
What?

Keith:
Just, I thought this sight would be more traumatic for me, but... [shrugs]
