"Talking dogs come in the third movie. Second's just another baby, thankfully." I commented. "Cats and Dogs, Homeward Bound, there's actually a scary amount of movies with dogs that talk now that you've got me thinking about it."
I'm just gonna be shocked I'm having a decent conversation with Logan. Duncan and Lilly would be so proud of us for how well we're getting along. Won't last beyond this car ride, though. No real reason for it to.
"I think the show probably warped your so-called fragile little mind long before the movie came along." I stated with a smirk, "If it even took that."
Yeah, I didn't exactly believe South Park had much to do with whatever warping had gone on in Logan's brain. He was warped in his own way the day I met him.
"I'm not really sure you can call loving the South Park movie having any sort of taste in movies, as much as I enjoy it." I added in response to his comment about movie tastes not being inherited, "But I generally like to think I've out grown some of the more embarrassing movie obsessions."

"Generally, sequels are to be avoided at all costs," I replied. As evidence by my lack of remembering that the movie with the dogs and cats came third and not second. They all just melded together inevitably. "But, you're right about that. Just generally there's a great amount of movies with talking animals in them."
My lips quirked into a smirk at her next words and I shook my head sceptically. "Just when I was finding you flattering, Veronica," I tsked towards her.
"Do I have to guess the horrors of your embarrassing movie obsession collection or are you going to let me in on the mortifying secrets?" I asked, still amused. "You could tell me and I'll tease and we'll all get our daily dose of this eternal snark we have between us."
And that was about all there was going to ever be between us.
This moment had been acknowledged and it was already in passing as far as the two of us were concerned. However, at the very least, I was pretty sure that we could still be tickled that we were standing each others' presence.

"Sorry, Logan." I laughed as he tsked me. Wasn't really all that sorry and we both knew it. "Just don't really believe South Park was the sole factor in your warped brain. Contributor I'd buy."
"Would it really be as fun for you if I were to just tell you?" I questioned. Sure, it'd be faster, but if he wanted maximum amusement, why just tell him? He'd known me long enough, known the two people I was closest two outside of my parents long enough, to make a few decent guesses, I was sure.
"I mean, if you just want to get right to the teasing, I can tell you. Whatever." I shrugged. He was right though, if we weren't snarking we basically weren't talking unless we were forced to. Why mess with what worked?

Reasons or not my father had a career was past me. I was the epitome of not caring. "Come to think of it, I think they just let out one of his sequelled movies today. It's not nearly half as touching as the one he's putting out at Christmas."
If you want the real reason I have a warped mind, Veronica... - I shook it off, ignored the pain still spreading on my lower back.
"Let me guess. Since, yes, you did point out that it would be fun," I said, motioning towards her with the usual witty smile. "Among these movies would be... Spice World and Batman Forever. Though, I do suspect that out of the Travolta collection you'd own Saturday Night Fever and Grease. Like you said, at least Grease is a classic."

"Well no offense to your dad, but the odds of me making an effort to see either is highly unlikely. His movies have never really interested me much."
"I'll admit to Grease, and to Batman Forever. Spice World, for what it was, isn't really that bad, and if you mock me for watching that you have to mock Lil, 'cause she was right there with me nearly every single time I watched it. In my defense though? I was 10. Long since over that." I Insisted. "There's also She's All that and Down to You. And let's not forget three quarters of anything Kirsten Dunst did before Spider-man. Some very funny movies, but not exactly the most well written."
I figure I'd give him what he was after. A nice long list of things to torture me about that weren't his insisting that there was something wrong with the way my life was. I like my life, thanks.

"At least it sells, Veronica. There's nothing much more than selling things, keeping jobs and a house, when it comes to business." I shook my head towards her, "Believe me when I say that I wouldn't throw any money towards his films either. Or even Trina's, for that matter." Trina, god knows, wouldn't be anywhere if she wasn't leeching off dad's fame a bit.
"I can't mock you about Spice World. Lilly made me and Duncan watch that thing like five times a day for a week. But... She's All That? Geeky girl into Prom Queen - How sweet." I told her. No, that sounded nothing at all like what happened when the Kanes discovered Veronica Mars. Minus one bet, we could possibly be that story.
"You couldn't possibly get more cliche. You know, unless you were watching Down To You. So, is this a general love of Freddie and Kirsten movies?"
