This really is a gorgeous scene. I'm not sure when this is. I'm guessing that the wordless exchange of glances in journalism class took place the day after The Kiss and the following slightly awkward exchange took place a day after journalism class.
Veronica closes her locker, turns and sees Logan is standing in front of her.
"Oh! Hey," Veronica says, giving a startled but pleased smile to see Logan.
"Hey," Logan replies articulately, giving a slightly sheepish and shy smile.
"So, uh, what do you think?" he asks a bit confusingly.
"Like...in general, or is there a specific arena in which you'd like my opinion?" clearly assuming (or at least hoping) that he's there to talk about The Kiss.
"Do you think Duncan, uh, is just cooling off or is he, like, holed up in some hotel room pouring peroxide on his hair and trying to file his fingerprints off?" Logan asks unexpectedly.
"Honestly, I have no idea," says flatly, clearly disappointed, disconcerted and probably a big pissed off that he's not alluding to The Kiss.
Veronica turns to walk away but Logan follows. "I got the call from Celeste today wanting to know where, uh, I thought he might've gone."
"What'd you tell her?"
"The truth. That I don't know."
They stop and he looks down at her, thinking about Duncan but as they look at each other, it appears that they're remembering other things. Then Logan raises his eyes and signals upwards anticipating that the bell is going to ring and interrupt them. As expected, it rings. He grins.
"See ya." he says looking more flip about it than she does.
Veronica gives a forced smile, Logan walks away and Veronica walks along, seething slightly. "All righty, Logan. We'll just skip over the two minutes in heaven we had. You want to pretend it never happened? No argument here. My lips, for all intents and purposes, are sealed."
The scene ends with Veronica noticing a student named Mandy who is putting up lost dog notices - someone has stuck one of the the notices onto her back.
I'd like to note that I like this scene a lot. Notwithstanding the fact that Veronica is preoccupied with her own personal matters, and her obvious initial reluctance to help Mandy, she does agree to help after all. It isn't a glamorous case and part of me really doubts that she accepted any money for this gig.
Classic of a scene. Logan walks in the door carrying his books. Trina's on the sofa with Aaron trying to convince him to take a part in her boyfriend's movie. Aaron is claiming that he's not acting anymore.
"There is nothing greater than living in the moment, being here with the ones I love. That's my job now. Lynn's death was my wake up call."
Logan smirks and flamboyantly holds out his hands. "Push in on our hero. Natural light frames his handsome, weathered face as he passes sage advice to his doting daughter. The music swells." Then, in a very beautiful imitation of Yoda, he says: "Important your family is. Hm, hm." Hee hee.
I missed his impersonation of Yoda the first time. The second time I watched this episode I was in hysterics. What I want to know though is why isn't Logan more afraid of his father. Isn't he afraid Aaron's going to belt him one for being a smartass?
Anyway, Logan rests against the sofa for a moment and then falls back onto the sofa.
Trina persists: "But Daddy, there's this terrific part," Logan laughs but they ignore him. "It's the villain in this independent feature my boyfriend Dylan's producing, Escaping Your Past. You'd be perfect. Two days work."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, Trina. Thank you for thinking of me, really," Aaron protests. Logan laughs again as Aaron continues,"..but, but this, this is what I want to be doing now."
The doorbell rings and the Echolls are sitting around a table. Their lawyer is sitting at the head of the table.
"I'm not sure if you were aware but Lynn updated her will a few weeks before her death. Aaron, you were removed."
"Hm. Well I didn't now that but, uh, well, doesn't surprise me." He doesn't look shocked but I think he looked a little startled.
"It's cool, Barr. Dad's accountants didn't give Mom much of an allowance." Aaron shoots him a look which says; "Shut up".
"All right, I'll skip to the relevant paragraph here. To my son Logan, I bequeath my art collection as well as all of my personal effects in the house. In addition I leave him the balance in my investment account, held with JP Morgan, totalling $115,000."
"And me? She took me out too?" Trina asks.
"I'm afraid you were never in it," the lawyer tells her. Trina looks surprised and sighs.
$115,000 isn't very much and won't really last long for someone accustomed to living the high life. If Logan thinks he can be independent of Aaron without some other means of income he'll be disappointed.
Again not a Logan / Veronica moment but the attention being placed on Logan's character, where he's at, what he's thinking, what his family life is like are all moving towards humanising the character we've all known as a jerk. Rob Thomas and his team are amazing. Part of me was thinking - gosh that was fast, he shows up at Veronica's door and then suddenly he's got layers after all? Thinking back, you realise that they've been setting up the scene all the way through the season even if the crumbs were occasionally kind of sparse. Bottom line, the context is given subtly and well and I at least never thought: "Gosh, Logan's fallen prey to a bodysnatcher".
In the Echolls' kitchen, Trina walks towards Logan carrying a plate who is standing and looking at his books on one of the counters. Is he doing homework? If so, the geek in me finds that very endearing. We certainly know he's literate and articulate but I had no idea he was a conscientious student.
"Good morning, bro. Pop tart?"
He takes it. "Hm, a tart from a tart." A lot of people found that funny, I didn't because it was a bit lame coming from Logan who is normally a lot funnier than that.
"He of the sickle wit. Can I ask you something?" Trina retorts. Logan pretends to take something out of his mouth.
"Will you look at that? There was a string attached to my pop tart." He throws the imaginary string over his shoulder. That was funnier.
"Yeah, well, I'm in a little bit of a jam. I could use a loan." Logan hits a button on his watch and it bips.
"Twelve hours to hit me up for my dead mother's money. Hm, I wonder who had that in the pool?" he asks her.
"You know I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important," Trina protests.
"Oh, I do. I do," he says mockingly.
"Could I just borrow ten grand, just for a little while?"
"Ten grand?" Logan demands incredulously.
"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."
"Did you try standing up?" Logan asks her smirkingly.
"Thanks. Knew I could count on you," Trina says sarcastically before storming off.
I guess their relationship is pretty bad. There were a few conflicting indications in Ruskie Business but these two do not get along.
If I want you to speak, I'll wave a snausage over your nose
This is not a Logan / Veronica scene but aside from the fact that I absolutely adore this sequence, I think what Veronica says in this scene goes a long way to explaining why she does what she does in M.A.D. and Leave it to Beaver. I'll discuss it more after the scene.
Mandy is walking through the doors with Veronica and Mandy's mobile phone rings.
"Hello?" She pauses and then says with extremely endearing excitement: ""Yes I did." Her excitement then triples: "Oh, you have????"
Her excitement rapidly deflates as she puts her rather massive mobile phone into her pocket. I love the way they emphasise the "misfit" in Mandy, even down to the overly large, clunky model of her mobile phone.
"What happened?"
"Nothing. Someone was just playing a stupid trick." Mandy tells her sadly.
They look up and see a crowd of jerky guys boys standing a brief distance away laughing and making barking sounds. A guy is holding up his mobile phone and waving it around.
Mandy explains for Veronica's and our benefit: "Lenny Sofer. I had a crush on him last year. I put his picture in my locker. I never told him but somebody did. He's gone out of his way to be mean to me ever since." She's so sweet and resigned in the way she says this. Part of you wants to call her a loser but I found her endearing in her resigned honesty and acceptance of her "kicked around" status.
Also, anyone named Lenny on television is bound to be a creep.
Lenny barks again, continuing to laugh with his brainless buddies. Veronica is infuriated and gives him the stare of I'm going to make you hurt ......a lot. as she heads towards the group unhesitatingly.
Mandy exclaims protestingly: "Oh, Veronica, please, don't worry about it. Really, it's not worth it."
"Oh, it's so worth it," Veronica bites out, and I agree wholeheartedly.
"You prank-call Mandy?" she demands of Lenny the Louse.
"What if I did?" Lenny counters, not knowing better than to mouth off to Veronica Mars.
"Well, I want to congratulate you," she holds out her hand. "Shake your hand". After they shake hands she announces: "Congratulations! You've been named the world's biggest cockroach. This award is given in recognition of your unparalleled lack of decency and humanity. Bravo! You're gonna die friendless and alone."
Lenny's face is a combination of disbelief, consternation and "what the ....????". Kristen Bell is beautiful in the way she bites out: You're gonna die friendless and alone.
Lenny's friends kind of ouch in sympathy and Veronica turns away from him. To try to prove that he hasn't just been given the biggest smackdown of his life and absolutely humiliated before his mates, Lenny tries to call out: "Hey, everybody knows you're the biggest ....."
It looks as if he's going to manage to say something hurtful to Veronica, it looks as though he might take the wind out of her sails but Veronica immediately turns back to face him. There's a crowd gather now to watch the bloodfest.
"Shut up! If I want you to speak, I'll wave a snausage over your nose." Absolutely beautiful line.
"If you use Mandy again to try to convince yourself that you're not a loser, I will ruin your life - got it?" he doesn't respond to her satisfaction. "You got it?" she demands with wonderful ferocity.
"Okay, geez," a crushed Lenny concedes, completely squished before his peers. Veronica storms off still filled with anger and indignation.
Mandy comes up to her: "I can't believe you did that".
"I can't believe that you didn't," Veronica snaps back a little harshly. "If you want people to leave you alone, Mandy, or better yet, treat you with respect, demand it," and then in an almost angry way, she says: "Make them!" Veronica storms away leaving the timid Mandy standing behind her looking a little gobsmacked.
So what does this scene signal about Veronica? There are a few things.
Wit: As we knew, Veronica is the queen of witty comeback and snappy repartee? I know I really wish I'd had the courage and ability to think on my feet during certain difficult moments to be able to come back with sizzing putdowns and deflective wit the way Veronica can.
Defender of the weak: Veronica is essentially a nice person. I like that she's portrayed as someone who cares about other people and helps other people. It's not done in a goody two shoes manner, she's very much flawed but there is definitely a soft spot for the needy in her heart. She's also the ideal of girlpower - smart, mouthy, kinda bitchy and very opinionated.
Ruthless drive for vengeance: Do you think my heading is overstating it? I don't think so. This particular characteristic has everything to do with what happens between Veronica and Logan. Rather than discuss this issue here, I've moved it to my discussion of Leave It To Beaver.
Given that I won't be commenting separately on that scene, I have to add that I have zero sympathy for the eventually tasered Hans. People who hurt dogs are evil. If someone had mistreated my dog Kitt I would have been livid. Veronica sums it up nicely when she says:
"...if someone is stealing dogs in Neptune, they need to be brought down, hard, then beaten with some sort of tyre iron, and dumped into the nearest body of water".
Evening in the Echolls' kitchen and Logan appears to be getting a snack which he takes to the counter to eat. A sunglass-wearing Trina walks in, limping.
"Is Dad still at dinner?"
"Yeah. But he's not far. I'm sure if you really tried you could blow smoke up his ass from here."
Trina passes him and goes to get something from behind him. Logan glances at her.
"Hey Trin, if you take your top off before you get on the mechanical bull, you won't fall off." I actually have no idea what he means by this dig. Does anyone else know what he's talking about?
[Note: Friendly Anonymous Fan sent me this note:
In "Hot Dogs, you are puzzled by this line: "Hey Trin, if you take your top off before you get on the mechanical bull, you won't fall off." Mechanical bulls are machines which duplicate the cowboy game of riding a angry bull for a short period time while it tries to buck you off his back. They became trendy in American cowboy and faux-cowboy bars in the 80s (see the film "Urban Cowboy"). Logan is implying that Trina took her shirt off while the bull was bucking, thus causing her to be thrown and injured.
I guess I'm puzzled as to his meaning though. Is he saying she was at the gym, or is it a sexual jibe and that he is using "the mechanical bull" to imply she was having sex with someone]
Trina doesn't respond, Logan stops smirking as he realises that something is wrong. He straightens up as she walks past him.
"What happened to you?"
"Nothing," she says flatly.
Logan pulls the sunglasses from her face and sees that she has a black eye. Trina tries to snatch her glasses back but Logan holds them out of her reach.
"Don't you have some homework to do, little brother?"
Logan drops his arm down and Trina seizes the sunglasses. She walks away and he follows.
"That wannabe producer boyfriend do this to you?" She stops but doesn't turn around, nor does she reply.
"What's his name? Dylan? Dylan what, what's his last name?" Logan demands.
Trina turns around. "It doesn't matter," she says flatly.
"It does now! Tell me."
"You've made it clear that you have no interest in my problems, Logan. Don't be wishy-washy. It's so unattractive in a guy," she tells him scornfully and walks away.
Why did I include this scene? It's because despite the weird line from Weevil in A trip to the dentist, I do not believe that Logan ever hit Logan. I think the writers have very much demonstrated that although Logan has no hesitation about using violence when he's angry - he does not hit women. Even when he thought Lilly was cheating on him, I'm sure he didn't hit her.
Although he totally didn't need to do so, Logan goes to Veronica to ask her to help him find his sister's boyfriend. Talk about looking for an excuse to see her again! Not that I'm complaining. When Logan walks in, Veronica's at the desk.
"Hi." she greets him with pleased surprise, possibly hoping that he's there to talk about The Kiss.
"Hey, I need your help." He tells her unceremoniously.
"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?" As someone else has pointed out, this is a bit snarky given that Veronica has done more than her fair share of asking for help from others. Take a look at poor old BFF Wallace.
Although Logan has a slight smile at her sally, he's in a serious mood. "I need you to track down Trina's leech-of-the-week boyfriend," he tells her.
"Why? What'd he do?" Veronica asks.
"He beat her up." Logan says flatly.
Veronica looks horrified at this revelation.
"I plan on returning the favour," Logan says grimly. "All I know is his first name, Dylan and he's producing this steamer." Logan throws down the script Trina was showing Aaron down on the desk. Veronica picks it up and looks at it.
"Easy," she says confidently. A little later when we return to them, we hear her making a phone call while Logan watches her. "Hi, I'm calling from Todd Russell's office at CAA. He read your script, Escaping Your Past and he went nuts over it. Have you sold it yet? Really? Who's producing it?" Logan smiles at her, impressed with that Veronica magic.
Veronica continues. "Is that G-o-r-a-n? Great. I'm sure he'll want to speak with him. Maybe we can get you guys a deal. Okay, we'll be in touch. Thanks. Bye," she hangs up the phone and tells Logan: "Dylan Goran".
Veronica types into the computer and Logan comes around to her side of the desk, rests his hand on the back of her chair and leans in close to look over her shoulder.
"Is there really an agent named Todd Russell at CAA?" Logan wants to know.
"There could be, maybe. Looks like Trina's Romeo has had a little trouble with the ladies. Two women have filed restraining orders against him in the last five years.
Logan straightens and pulls his mobile phone out of his pocket and makes a call. "Dad, hey, I need Trina. It's important."
We see he's speaking with Aaron who's in the kitchen cooking. "Oh, hey son. She's in the shower. Her boyfriend's coming over later to pitch me a part in his movie."
"Aren't you retired? I thought you were reconnecting with your family?" Logan jibs and Aaron looks annoyed. "Trina is family, I'm helping her out. It’s what dads do." Aaron hangs up.
"Oh listen. Trina’s boyfriend, he’s got ...." He hears the dial tone and closes his phone.
"Dylan’s on his way to the house. And Dad’s cooking for him," Logan says grimly.
I would have loved to have seen the scene that followed this because as we know, in the next scene, Aaron proceeds to beat the crap out of Dylan before a stricken Trina and then Logan and Veronica arrived on the scene. How would this scene have gone? How could this scene have gone?
"Dylan’s on his way to the house. And Dad’s cooking for him," Logan said grimly.
"Well that's cosy," Veronica commented.
"Hey if you're bored, wanna come and watch me beat up my sister's no-good-leech of the week boyfriend?" Logan said with mock flippancy.
"OK"
That doesn't seem right. It's afternoon at the time Logan shows up at Veronica's office so clearly several hours pass before they go to Logan's house given that Dylan's thrashing takes place at night.
The conversation that they have in Logan's driveway is clearly the first proper conversation that they've had since The Kiss, so they can't have had any form of real conversation in the hours between Veronica running the searches on Dylan Goran and showing up at Logan's. What did they do? Play I-Spy? Maybe this works:
"Dylan’s on his way to the house. And Dad’s cooking for him," Logan said grimly.
"I take it you'll be there."
"Yeah."
There were a few moments' of silence as the two looked at one another.
Veronica glanced at her watch. "Still a few hours for us to kill."
Logan looked at his watch as well. "Us?" he questioned, lifting his eyebrows.
"I think I'd better go with you. I told you before that you can't beat the truth out of someone. You also can't beat someone into learning how to respect women." Veronica told him.
"Well thank you Germaine Gandhi - when will you be leading us on your next non-violent salt march to the beach. Should I bring my own kickboard?" Logan asked her mockingly although there was no malice in his dark eyes as he studied her behind the desk.
"Beware the Dark Side?" Veronica asked hopefully quirking a grin at him and Logan gave a short laugh.
There was another beat of silence which threatened to turn awkward and he said. "Sorry, I guess I wasted your time .... you go through that sexy as hell PI thing you do and the loser just walks into our house like that."
Veronica spread her hands out as if to say what can I say? "I wish all cases were that easy." she told him.
"So how much do you charge for impersonating CAA staff?" Logan asked, pulling his wallet out of his pocket.
Veronica rolled her eyes. "I'm not charging you for that."
"No more freebies, I might end up feeling obliged," Logan said half-jokingly. "At least let me buy you a coffee."
"I can't. I promised dad I'd mind the store today." Veronica said apologetically.
Logan shoved his hands in his pockets.
"I'm sure coffeeshops make coffee to go."
"You'd go and buy me coffee and bring it here?" she questioned disbelievingly.
"Yeah. I would." he said with a faint smile in his eyes. "Don't go anywhere, I'll be back," he said walking out the door leaving a perplexed Veronica staring after him.
"I like muffins!" she called out and smile she heard him laugh.
OK that gets him out of the picture for a bit, presumably it took a while to buy the coffee and the muffins. It doesn't quite kill 2-3 hours but it's better than imagining them sitting there playing Knuckles at Mars Investigations.
It's night time, Aaron is cooking at a barbecue and Trina arrives with Dylan who looks sleazy and horrible. I won't go into detail in this scene except for the part where Dylan describes the party in the movie as that of a strung-out hit man with a conscience who's tormented and in pain.
Aaron is playing cat and mouse with Dylan. "You know, it sounds a lot like my old man. He used to beat me and my mom and then…try to drink the demons away." A little later he says, "Yeah, hell, yeah. He used to beat my mom ‘til she passed out. Then she’d cake makeup all over her face, wear dark glasses around the house but, you know, I could always recognise the signs. Then, finally, I got the courage up to try and stop him, but, man, I’m just a scrawny little kid, he’s built like a wall.". Make sure you contrast this to what he says about his father in at the homeless shelter in Return of the Kane.
In the following scene, Aaron proceeds to beat up Dylan in the most violent and brutal manner possible. The music for this scene is Dean Martin's classic "That's Amore" and the juxtaposition of the viciousness of Aaron's actions against the background of this merry scene is really effective if extremely disturbing. Trina stands by making sounds of tearful horror while Aaron beats up Dylan. Aaron has pulled out a belt and is whipping Dylan who is limp and lying on the ground when Logan runs through the doorway from the house, Veronica on his heels. Both stop abruptly at the sight before them.
Aaron looks up, slightly out of breath and pauses in his beating. "Oh, hey son. How was school?"
Appalled stares all round and Aaron says pleasantly: "Logan. Will you see this young man to his car, please?"
"I’ll be happy to," Logan replies as Trina and Veronica look gobsmacked. This scene gives Veronica evidence of what was only alluded to in Ruskie Business. She suddenly sees that the charming Aaron Echolls is capable of extreme violence and receives some insight into Logan's family life. We also learn something about Aaron's upbringing and why he possibly is the way he his.
In front of the Echolls' house, Dylan drives away (no idea how he manages that) and Veronica and Logan walks back towards Logan's car.
"Wow," Veronica breathes in shock.
"Father knows best," Logan says with satisfaction or pride colouring his voice. Given that his intention was to beat up Dylan I guess he approves of what happened.
They walk in silence for a moment and Logan asks Veronica suddenly: "Do you think Lilly loved Weevil?"
"I don’t know. Lilly never mentioned anything to me about Weevil. I was wondering when you were gonna ask me about that."
"Yeah, well. I don’t know. When he’s caught in her bedroom, you know, I guess you gotta think.."
They stop at Logan’s SUV and Veronica says: "You’re handling it a lot better than I thought you would."
"I loved Lilly and Lilly loved guys." Logan said wryly.
"Logan, you know that she .." Veronica protests, trying to comfort him.
"You know, she used to say that her her parents worshipped Duncan and tolerated her. And if she couldn’t please ‘em, she was gonna go out of her way to piss ‘em off. Weevil must have been perfect for that."
"I know Lilly loved you." Veronica assures him.
"Well, it’s just not like I loved her," he says with brutal honestly. "It’s okay. No, you know, it kinda let’s me off the hook, you know, I don’t know, I don’t have to feel guilty anymore," he tells her with a significant note to his voice.
"Feel guilty about what?" Veronica asks a little hopefully, voicing the hopeful hopes of all the LoVe supporters leaning towards the screen......
"Moving on...." Logan tells her with a tiny smile. They gaze at each other for a moment and then Logan reaches out, touches her cheek and steps forward to kiss her.
They kiss very hungrily for a long moment. Ummm, when did Logan become so hot? In the Pilot he so did nothing for me but he is really, really attractive in this scene. Tony Leung though he's a great actor could learn a lot from Jason Dohring and his ability to screen kiss - no Vacuum Cleaner of Ick for him!!!! Oops I'm digressing again.
I also like the instrumental music used this scene. I think it suits the moment although some might say it's a little bit too hot and heated - depends whether you're a fan of Logan and Veronica I guess. First you see the kiss from over Logan's left shoulder and then almost directly facing Logan. Veronica breaks off the kiss, asking slightly incredulously: "What are we doing?"
"No idea," Logan says with a little laugh/gasp which is very sexy. They kiss again but start laughing in the middle of it all and stop.
"We need to talk about this," she tells him.
"I know. I know ..." he says with a laugh.
"Maybe we should just keep it to ourselves for a while and see what happens." she suggests.
"Meet in mop closets? Pass each other secret notes in the hallway?" he queries but doesn't seem annoyed by her request. His words though obviously make Veronica remember say something because she vagues out a little.
Logan notices and realises that the moment is gone. He pulls back but doesn't say anything and again doesn't seem to be annoyed by her abstraction. He's just very laughingly tender about it because when she glances up at him, he rests his brow against hers and says: "Come on, I'll drive you home on the back streets." Hee hee. So sweet and I love it when Logan talks to Veronica with that little laugh in his voice. It's a nice real laugh instead of his usual cynical faux laugh which he puts on for the rest of the world.
They smile and Logan opens the door for Veronica. She gets into the car. Logan closes the door and walks around the front of the car to get to the driver's side. In the meantime, Veronica has a flashback to herself and Lilly in the back of the car.
"Oh my gosh, look what I found in my cereal box this morning. It's a spy pen."
"What's a spy pen?" Veronica asks her.
Lilly shows her the message compartment in the pen.
"How covert ops of you!"
"I'm gonna use it to pass secret messages to all of my lovers."
"This is going to be a very busy little pen." Veronica comments.
Did Veronica know that Lilly was unfaithful or were they just kidding around?
Also, for those meanies out there who are saying that Logan always breaks off the make-out sessions because he has ummmm problems with Little Logan, that is so lame! If you look at this scene, Veronica's the one who breaks it off.
Leo's pouring coffee at the sheriff's department when Veronica walks in. He looks up and smiles at her.
"I need to talk to you." she tells him.
"Me. Finally, me," he says with a note of goofy happiness.
"I can't date you anymore." she tells him bluntly.
Leo's grin fades slowly.
"Huh. Whoa, okay." All right his bulb is not the brightest and he's dopey but I find him endearing.
"Trust me, you don't want to date me. I'm a train wreck. Seriously. The first guy I ever loved just dropped off the face of the earth, probably because of something I said, and the last guy I dated turned out to be a drug dealer, and I just made out with my dead best friend's boyfriend, who, incidentally, I hate. So. Train wreck. But, Leo, you are the sweetest ..."
"Don't tell me how sweet I am," he tells her, moving to his desk.
Veronica follows. "Well, you're also seriously hot so you'll be single for about three and a half seconds," she says, trying again.
"See. Now that's more helpful," he tells her.
"I'm sorry to dump this on you. I just…I genuinely care about you and I wanted to be honest."
"So, my response is supposed to be what? Thanks?"
"Probably overshooting a bit, huh?" He makes a sound and nods in agreement.
"You could tell me that you understand."
"And that we could still be friends?" he counters.
"That’d be cool…‘cause I need to follow this confession by asking for a favour" she tells him winsomely.
Leo looks incredulous and then laughs despite himself.
I totally loved this scene. I like that Veronica was honest. A lot of people would have just strung both guys along for ages. The fact that she had the guts to ask him for a favour following on the heels of dumping him is also funny and endearing as hell.
What does she mean she hates Logan???? She's made out with him twice now. I think she's just kidding around with herself if she says stuff like that. The feelings she had for Logan are so far away from hate it's not funny but it's endearing that she's still in denial. I have to admit though that her deliver of the: "Who, incidentally - I hate," is incrediby funny.
