Alias // Veronica Mars
You haven't said anything about your mother. What, am I supposed to say something insightful? The first time I see my mother in twenty years, and she almost kills me. Which would have made me the thirteenth CIA officer she's killed. She's former KGB. She's betrayed my father. She's betrayed me. She's betrayed this country. All anyone needs to know about that woman is that she's a bad guy. (Alias, “The Enemy Walks In")
I never want you to think your mom's the villain in all this. Isn’t she? No, it's not that simple. Yeah, it is. The hero is the one that stays and the villain is the one that splits. I don’t think that's a healthy perspective. It's healthier than me pining away every day praying she'll come home. (Veronica Mars, “Meet John Smith”)
