Quotes 

• Veronica Lodge : There are certain things *no one* does better than Veronica Lodge. Makeovers, party planning, dance-offs., dropping vintage bon mots as if they were bonbons.

  [Betty smirks] 

  Veronica Lodge : Conversely, there are things I'm not good at.

  [shakes her head] 

  Veronica Lodge : Grief, bedside vigils, comforting boyfriends.

  Betty Cooper : Okay, but that's the old Veronica talking.

  Veronica Lodge : Old Veronica would have bolted by now, but new Veronica doesn't want to let Archie down.

  Betty Cooper : And you won't.

• Hiram Lodge : I came over to surprise you. And imagine my surprise when you aren't here to greet me.

  Hermione Lodge : And she drank your Cristal.

  Hiram Lodge : So disrespectful.

  [to Veronica:] 

  Hiram Lodge : Not like you at all, mija.

  Veronica Lodge : I've changed. You have no idea. The question is... have you?

  Hiram Lodge : Not so much that I still don't want a kiss hello from my daughter.

• Veronica Lodge : [kneeling alongside mother]  What are we praying for? Fred's speedy recovery or a quick death?

  Hermione Lodge : Veronica, why on earth would I pray for that?

  Veronica Lodge : Jughead said that whatever happened to Mr. Andrews may have been... a hit. But who would be evil enough to do that? And why? Then I remembered how you wanted Fred to sell his share of the company back to you and Daddy. Because he and Daddy wouldn't get along. Which is a threat if I ever heard one.

  Hermione Lodge : You are so determined to paint your father as a villain, you assume he must've put a hit on Fred Andrews. Brilliant.

  Veronica Lodge : Not him. You. I don't think you're an innocent pawn, Mom. I think you're Daddy's eyes and ears on the ground... calling the shots.

  [shakes her head] 

  Hermione Lodge : You genuinely believe that.

  Veronica Lodge : If the Manolo Blahnik fits...

  Hermione Lodge : [gets up]  Mija, your disrespect will no longer be tolerated. Not by me, and certainly not by your father when he comes home. So, a word of advice? Get back in line with the family. Because you are a Lodge... before anything else. Now, I should slap you for what you're insinuating... but I'm not a violent person.
