Season One Episode One: Pilot Veronica Mars played by Kristen Bell Keith Mars played by Enrico Colantoni Written by: Rob Thomas Directed by: Mark Piznarski Original Airdate: 9/22/04 Keith: Who's your Daddy? Veronica: Ugh, I hate it when you say that. Keith: You know what, this is important. You remember this: I used to be cool. Veronica: When? Keith: '77. Trans Am, Blue Oyster Cult in the eight-track, a foxy, stacked blonde riding shotgun, racing for pink slips. Ah, wait a minute, I'm thinking of a Springsteen song. Scratch everything, I was never cool. Veronica: I don't know which bothers me more, "foxy" or "stacked". Keith: I nailed our bail jumper 100 yards from México. Twenty-five hundred bucks. No sack dinners tonight. Tonight, we eat like the lower-middle class to which we aspire! Fire up the hibachi!
