- Veronica: Remembering why I'm a misanthrope.
- Duane: Let me tell you something, if I was gonna do a kamikaze, you know, off a bridge with a bus full of kids and stuff, a convenience store would not be the site of my last meal. I'd wanna...I'd wanna eat something on the brink of extinction, you know, like the last emu. Or meerkat. I bet they'd go down smooth.
- Lamb: What are you up to, Veronica?
- Veronica: The last question, actually. "Why do you want this position?" Honestly, and really tell me the truth: how much of an ass-kiss would I be if I admit it's to be close to you? Seriously. Why do words suddenly appear every time you're near?

- Veronica: I'm afraid that line only works in "Good Will Hunting".
