Weevil summons Veronica with an eyebrow and tells her he needs her help. "Ahhh, if I had fifty bucks every time somebody said that..." she moans, and walks off .Not getting it, Weevil follows, getting shirty: "I know, it's hard to be you." And Veronica's like, "Um, I wasn't kidding? Duh?" He says he's banking on her curiosity, and they bluff like it's Jennifer Tilly's last night in Vegas. There's funny music, about fifty cuts back and forth, all very Clint Eastwood, and then Veronica is hilarious, hands-up, all: "Okay! Tell me! Damn my curiosity!" As though that could have ended any other way, but well played. Weevil: "Thumper killed Felix." She's like, "Great," but forgets how Lamb's Shit List is exactly as long as the number of people in the principality or commonwealth or parish or whatever the fuck Neptune is, and that Weevil's name is right below hers on it. He explains that Thumper has a video of Weevil beating the tar out of Curly on his cell phone, and admits that he didn't tell her all there was to know about that particular situation. "Shocker," says Veronica, whilst giving the BSA salute. Weevil -- this is so great, it feels improvised -- takes her fingers and arranges them in proper shocker formation, all, "I think that's Scout's honor..." Not exactly grateful for the Horrific Gesture workshop, Veronica stops him: "Not important. Moving on. Which parts did you skip?" Weevil tells her that he and other PCHers got an anonymous call that Curly was the guy who sent the bus over the cliff, in order to "take out Cervando for hustling Lee and Fitzpatrick out of a few grand." Short flashback to Weevil beating up Curly, who protests that he knows who it was that set the whole thing up. Weevil tells Veronica that his "boys" wanted to throw Curly off a cliff, and that by beating the shit out of him -- hence the video -- he was actually saving Curly's life. And Veronica does her usual: "Did you see my name on his palm?" She feigns shock when he says no, and he cracks that Curly was wearing a cameo necklace with her image. That's funny. Weevil lays it out, in a way you might not take seriously at this moment but will learn to, that Thumper's going down, the law or Weevil will be taking care of him post-haste, and he advises Veronica to help him to get proof for this if she wants it "done right."
