Hm. Now I want lunch.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Weevil certainly had a pretty good idea who was behind the kidnapping, but he certainly wasn't going to snitch on someone, especially not a lucrative source of business.
It doesn't mean that he was a party to the kidnapping. As a bookie he doesn't really care why someone was making a particular bet, as long as they could cover.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It seems like it, ita, since that guy (I've already forgotten his name) was covering all the action. Though it's possible that Weevil wasn't explicitly aware of exactly what the plan was and was deliberately obtuse about drawing conclusions. However, with the implication that teh same guy had rigged last year's game, Weevil pretty much had to know, I'd think.
I felt like I was not getting a lot of this episode, for some reason. Not sure if the fault is theirs or mine.
Good god, shrift, that sounds like a nightmare.

What tommyrot said. He probably had something to do with the guy throwing the game , but not necessarily with the parrot-napping.

Damnit. I somehow screwed up the taping last night and missed Veronica Mars.
I did, however, watch Project Trainwreck and John, John, John. One step forward, two steps back. Right towards the edge of a cliff.

Who?

Not necessarily. Weevil makes money, regardless of who wins or loses.

Good god, shrift, that sounds like a nightmare.
What's worse is that I had to take 10 minutes before the form to "talk about what I do."
And why is it that every single time I take five minutes to scarf down lunch at my desk, someone snippily calls me with a request that I probably can't charge for and will take five hours of searching to figure out?
I was a little pissier on the phone just now than I should have been.
Brilliant. If the weather wasn't so spectacularly beautiful today, I'd call for a do-over.

Sorry, wrong Tom!
I meant that obviously, Weevil knew who was throwing the game, but not necessarily how it was going to be thrown this time around.
Also, Project Trainwreck: do you think that they're going to fire him? And Navi Rawat !!!
