Quotes and trivia

Veronica: Can I guess? You got a sweet love hangover and you don't need no cure.

Keith: Ahhh, look, Veronica, your father's campaign is riding on a gravy train with biscuit wheels. Woody's numbers guys just called to say I've got a twelve-point lead. I don't need to roll around in the mud with Lamb.

Veronica: In that case, it sounds like you don't need a photographer from the Neptune Navigator who knows how to shoot your good side?

Keith: I got nothing but good sides, baby.

Veronica: It's weird that you live here. I don't want you going all Howard Hughes-y on me.

Duncan: I am not a shut-in. These nails? Neatly trimmed. Though, now that you mention it, I have started bottling my own urine.

Veronica: Ew.
