Victoria Mars: My prices aren’t your business.ĭetective Mustache: Yeah, except it is because I’m going to undercut you. ![]() So the guy went and talked to every agency in town until he found the cheapest one: you. You must have wondered why you were brought on so late… well, they asked us first, but we were too expensive. Victoria Mars: My Scottish friend says this all the time and it doesn’t work for him either we have nothing in common.ĭetective Mustache: Actually, we do: like Dr. Stop following me.ĭetective Mustache, totally ignoring that last bit to follow her out of the shop: That’s a shame we’re very similar! I’m Irish, so I know about prejudice. Me: Dude, you can’t call him out for that, you were literally JUST blackmailing Barney the Morgue Bureaucrat!ĭetective Mustache: You know, rumors aren’t always true! Victoria Mars: I’ve heard of your agency, and how you guys operate. But then you just kept keeping on, and you stopped being funny.ĭetective Mustache: And, you’re ambitious and hard working, and I want you to work for me. We all thought you’d get bored there was even a bet about how long you’d keep at it.

Unacceptable!ĭuke Silver: Well, your kid is a great officer, but he’s a very new detective, and he has a lot to learn. You’re a disgrace! Nothing more than a filing clerk! Where’s that boss of yours?ĭuke Silver, hearing the yelling from the hallway: Can I help you? Glad your mother isn’t alive to see this.
