We’re, um, really excited about the Veronica Mars movie getting fully funded on Kickstarter. Like, really excited.
To celebrate, we’re giving away 2 paperback copies of our Veronica Mars anthology Neptune Noir, with terrific introduction from Rob Thomas on how Veronica Mars saved his soul (direct quote!). To enter, just leave us a comment on this post–say, with your favorite Veronica Mars quote–by midnight Central time this Sunday. (Book giveaway ended! But read on.)
But we also wanted to do a little bit more. And so, starting today, until the end of this month, we’ll contribute 25% of the price for every e-book copy of Neptune Noir sold to the Veronica Mars movie cause.
For Amazon for Kindle and B&N for Nook, where the list price is $3.99, that means almost $1 per e-book.
Even better news? Amazon has the e-book discounted right now for only $1.99 (but we’ll still be donating the full almost-dollar).
So, yes, we’re already getting a movie (and I’ll be looking forward to my poster, t-shirt, and DVD come next year)–but who can resist the opportunity to, as Jason Dohring suggests in the Kickstarter, have Logan smolder in space?
UPDATE:
We’ve had a blast revisiting some of our favorite Veronica Mars moments with your quote choices, and now it’s time to announce our two winners. Congratulations to . . . Vanessa and Lindsey! We’ll be in touch via email regarding your prizes. Thank you to everyone who entered!
UPDATE #2:
Thanks to you guys, we were able to contribute another $485 to the movie cause:
(Donated right under the wire! Publishing industry fun fact: Just because your e-book purchase is instantaneous doesn’t mean we get those sales numbers much faster than we do for print books.)
Happy reading, everybody who downloaded! Can’t wait to watch the movie with you all next year . . . and give away the giveaway-able parts of that reward.

“who’s your daddy?” “I hate it when you say that” Best line of the series?
at 5:43 pm
“Boom goes the dynamite.” -Veronica
And then there’s one where Veronica comes over Logan’s with dim sum in hand. It went along these lines: “We can have dim sum, and then some.”
at 11:17 am
“That explains the absence of balloon animals.” — Logan, playing cards with Weevil in detention.
at 11:19 am
That was Duncan to whom she said the line, though it would later become Logan’s place.
at 5:50 pm
^ oops, totally meant Duncan. My bad. Still, that was one funny scene :)
at 6:30 pm
“Veronica Mars is . . . smarter than me.” “Oh, you stop it!”

Not really a quote but I love it
1. True love stories never have endings
from the doughnut run episode
at 7:41 pm
“The hero is the one that stays… and the villain is the one that splits.”
~Veronica Mars
I adore that quote. Pretty much everything she says is pure gold though!

“You can keep asking but you’re not the fairest” Veronica to Madison

‘Nice car. That must have been a *huge* cereal box.’ -Logan Echolls
Never fails to get a chuckle. Logan is destined to be great in this movie, looking forward to reaping all the rewards!
at 7:50 pm
“Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything. Creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it’s still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild.”
Most epic quote I have ever had the pleasure of hearing, no doubt.
at 8:50 pm
Piz – “A Saturn for Mars!”
Veronica – “Yep, in Neptune…the stars really aligned on that one.”
Or, just a good, old fashioned “Earth to Mars…”
at 1:15 am
“Hey, Sheriff’s doing the robot. I’m gonna get my camera phone.”
Season 3, Episode 5 – Off stage extra says it roughly 21 minutes in. Get’s me every time.

at 8:15 pm
Keith: “Didn’t he get busted for murder?”
Veronica: “Assault.”
Keith: “See? He’s not even a very good murderer.”
at 8:42 pm
From Season 1 of Veronica Mars, I find the line, “Am I asking you to retrieve a nuclear warhead? No.” Which she said to Wallace to be one of the best lines. Though I also love one of Wallace’s line to Veronica, “Yeah, and I want a statue of myself in the main lobby, holding a musket, staring down danger.” Hilarious. Veronica Mars is one of the best tv shows ever.

Rub a lamp.

Logan- No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.

Season 2, Nobody puts baby in a corner.

VERONICA MARS:
Umm, did you trip and fall onto sandalwood, musk, and a hint of spicy citrus or is that cologne?
KEITH MARS:
It’s aftershave. I’m going to traffic court.
VERONICA MARS:
Sexy traffic court?
KEITH MARS:
Hmm. Nice shoes. You change your major to Women’s Studies?
VERONICA MARS:
Ha! Yuk it up, fancy pants.
at 9:28 am
“You better check yourself, before you wreck yourself!” Probably my favorite quote ever!
at 9:32 am
“Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything. Creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it’s still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild.”
This quote has stuck with me since the moment I heard it. So great.

Thought of another one. (Wallace and Veroinica talking about Logan).
W: That kid is like a cat!
V: You mean useless and selfish? :D
at 10:24 am
Keith: The next time I shoot you, it won’t be digitally. Unless I hit you in the finger, and then we’ll have a big laugh about it.
One of the funniest lines I have ever heard. I laughed until I cried
at 10:27 am
“Annoy, tiny blonde one. Annoy like the wind!”
Never fails to make me laugh.
at 10:43 am
I think we all learned a valuable lesson about faith, you give to the people you love. But the people who really deserve it are the ones who come through even when you don’t love them enough. Veronica Mars season 3
Get me through the hard time.
at 2:33 pm
I absolutely love this quote.
at 10:45 am
After Veronica’s graduation
Keith: For you on this momentous occasion.
(Veronica receives an envelope and thoroughly feels for clues of the contents and smells it)
Veronica: A PONY???
(said with such childish glee and excitement that I can’t help laughing and playing it on a loop for the following 5 minutes).
at 10:45 am
You need to lay off the caffeine Grrrrant because you’re down right testy.
at 10:47 am

Veronica: You prank-called Mandy?
Lenny: What if I did?
Veronica: Well, I want to congratulate you. Shake your hand. Congratulations! You’ve been named the world’s biggest cockroach. This award is given in recognition in your unparalleled lack of decency and humanity. Bravo. You’re going to die friendless and alone.
Lenny: Hey, everyone knows you’re the biggest…
Veronica: Shut up! If I want you to speak, I’ll wave a Snausage in front of your nose. You use Mandy again to convince yourself you’re not a loser, I will ruin your life. Got it.
at 11:30 am
“Mr. Echolls, may I have a word?” “Anthropomorphic. All yours big guy.”
at 11:32 am

Hmmm I have a tie…
“Could put your head up your ass.. BEFORE they put the egg up there or is this a recent development? – Veronica to Chip Diller in the cafeteria when asking him about the video.
Or

at 11:48 am
Lamb: [tapping finger on table] You said you were in Mexico the day of Lilly’s murder. Why?
Logan: How many episodes of “NYPD Blue” did you have to watch to get that finger tapping down?
Lamb: I asked you a question.
Logan: And I ignored it and moved on. Keep up. [snapping fingers]
From Leave it To Beaver. Logan’s final response in one of my favorite lines in the series.
at 11:49 am
Just remembered another
[Veronica] “I can assume the video came from you then”
[Gory] “You can assume any position you like”
[Veronica] “I’m Thinking Choke Hold!”
at 11:55 am
[Dick] “It was an instinct, I ALWAYS forward porn…… When its Good”

“My name is Cliff and I’ll be your ‘If you cannot afford an attorney’ attorney.”
at 12:42 pm
“Mr Echolls, I would like to have a word” “Anthropomorphic – all yours big guy!”
at 12:51 pm
My entry doesn’t count, but no one’s yet mentioned . . .
LOGAN: This is why I suggested attack dogs. But no, my mother wanted an alpaca.
at 12:53 pm
“After all these years, do you not instinctively fear me? Maybe you should write yourself a note.”
at 12:59 pm
Logan: Do you even know how to play poker?
Veronica: No, but it must be really hard if all you guys play.
Later in the same episode…
Weevil: Hey, you want a sody-pop?
Veronica: Actually, I think I want something with a little more kick.
[grabs Duncan’s whiskey bottle and starts chugging it]
Veronica: Hmm, iced tea. How very musical theater of you.
at 1:00 pm
My favorite quote is from Logan: “F.Y.I.? If cuddling is the best part, he didn’t do it right.”
at 1:20 pm
“I’ve got a secret, a good one”. Lily
at 1:30 pm
“I thought our story was epic, you know? Spanning years and continents. Lives ruined, bloodshed. Epic!”
“Ruined lives? Bloodshed? You really think a relationship should be that hard?”
“No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.”
at 7:59 pm
This one. Most intense, amazing scene they did. Totally epitomized the Logan/Veronica relationship
at 1:31 pm
“You have a problem with Veronica, you leave. Actually, you have a problem with Veronica, you’re pretty much dead to me, so just, like, evaporate or something” Logan on “A Trip to the Dentist”

Someone already took “Annoy like the wind!”
This is hilarious, too.
[Veronica is trying to change a flat tire]
Troy: Flat?
Veronica: Just as God made me.
at 2:03 pm
“If I ever die, do me a favor: Go on Oprah and tell the world that I loved kittens.” -Veronica
at 2:05 pm
So many quotable moments but the one I still use daily comes courtesy of Logan: “Does the soap box come with the SAG card?” It fits so many scenarios :-)
at 2:10 pm
In the hopes that you actually mean 11:59PM March 17 (or 12AM March 18):
“Annoy, tiny blonde one. Annoy like the wind.”
But really, about half of every episode is my favorite quote from VM.
at 2:19 pm
In the scene Veronica is changing a flat tire
Troy: Flat?
Veronica: Just as God made me!
at 2:20 pm
“I thought our story was epic, you know, you and me”.
But it’s really difficult to choose just one quote, the dialogue and one-liners were amazing!
at 2:25 pm
“Do you not instinctively fear me? Maybe you should write yourself a note”
So excited for the Veronica Mars Movie! What you are doing is so awesome. I don’t want to win the contest, I would rather the prize go to someone else, but I just can’t resist the opportunity to quote Veronica. I am off to Amazon to download Neptune Noir…..
at 2:28 pm
VERONICA VOICEOVER: The best way to dull the pain of your best friend’s murder is to have your mother abandon you as soon as possible. It’s like hitting your thumb with a hammer, then when it’s throbbing so badly you don’t think you’ll survive, you cut the damn thing off.
Hands down my favorite. Even though it’s not one of the sassy or funny remarks that Veronica is known for, this quote will always stand out to me. Kristen’s delivery was great.
at 2:48 pm
Veronica: Am I naked? Because in my nightmares I’m usually naked.
at 3:10 pm
Logan: Hey, can Dick and Beaver come out to play?
at 3:11 pm
Troy: “Are you always this persnickety?”
Veronica: “Sometimes I’m even persnicketier.”
at 3:22 pm
“no one writes songs about the ones that come easy.”
at 3:26 pm
MR. CLEMMONS: Mr Echolls. I was wondering if I could have a word.
LOGAN ECHOLLS: Anthropomorphic. All yours, big guy.
at 3:38 pm
Mine will always simply be “A PONY?!?!!!!”
at 3:51 pm
Weevil: “My cologne stinks? So all this play I’ve been getting is from pure sex appeal?”
at 5:01 pm
I love it. Ever notice how everything you make just… tends to lean a little to the left?
at 5:47 pm
Principal Clemmons: “Mr. Echoll’s, can I have a word?”
Logan: “Anthropomorphic. All your’s, big guy.”
Really it could be just about any line from Veronica or Logan.
at 6:06 pm
“So you got a trophy for a rim job?”
at 6:25 pm
Logan: My only concern is property values going down if anyone sees you in my house without a leaf blower or a skimmer.
Weevil: You’re concerned? I’m the one who’s got to go up into the hills all by myself. What if I run into a pack of you white boys on some clean, well-lit street? I could be bored to death!
at 6:40 pm
I have a few: Veronica: Tell me where to put your Father of the year trophy, ’cause there’s some place I’d like to put it.
Veronica to Weevil: So you got a trophy for a rim job?
Veronica: He’s a fine gentleman Pa. He’ll come up with the dowry to marry me, just you wait.
Veronica: you mess with the bull Dick you get the horns! Love it
at 7:39 pm
Veronica: “One word from me and Backup goes for your throat”.
Logan: (to Backup)”Is that what you’d do, boy? You’d tear out my throat? Who’s a man killer, uh? Who’s a man killer?”
From “Leave it to Beaver”.
at 7:44 pm
So, my grandma Reynolds was always saying ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.’ I wish she was still alive, because I’d really like to ask her what she suggests for when life gives you Chlamydia.
at 8:26 pm
“FYI, if the cuddling is the best part, he didn’t do it right.” -Logan Echolls (swoon)
at 9:28 pm
Principal Clemmons: “Mr Echolls, I was wondering if I could have a word?”
Logan: “…anthropomorphic. All yours big guy.”
BEST. LINE. EVER.
at 10:00 pm
Veronica to Weevil: “Speaking of bling… what’s up with the hoops? If I rub your head do I get three wishes??”
Weevil: “You rub my head and you might want to make seeing tomorrow your first wish.”
Ok. Second best comment.
at 11:23 pm
“What’s the point of having a dog if it’s bald? What are you gonna pet, skin?”
Oh Wallace ;)
at 12:48 pm
Logan: “Rode Hard… meet Put Away Wet.”
