1
00:00:03,568 --> 00:00:05,440
After Mr. Cooper
told Mrs. Cooper that Betty
2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,703
had been dancing
in her window,
in her skivvies,
3
00:00:07,703 --> 00:00:11,576
for Archie's...
uh, benefit,
4
00:00:11,576 --> 00:00:14,579
Mrs. Cooper phoned
Hollywood, California
5
00:00:14,579 --> 00:00:19,497
to give Hermione Lodge
a little good old fashioned
East Coast what-for,
6
00:00:19,497 --> 00:00:22,326
since Veronica had supplied
the skivvies in question.
7
00:00:23,936 --> 00:00:26,591
Then, Alice rang
her good friend
Penelope Blossom
8
00:00:26,591 --> 00:00:28,811
for advice about what to do,
9
00:00:28,811 --> 00:00:30,204
mother-to-mother.
10
00:00:30,204 --> 00:00:33,120
Well, I can't say
I'm surprised.
11
00:00:34,121 --> 00:00:35,426
By what, Mother?
12
00:00:37,776 --> 00:00:41,650
Operator, can you put me
through to Stratford-747?
13
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:45,567
Alice Cooper needs help
saving her little hussy
of a daughter.
14
00:00:47,264 --> 00:00:50,006
Agnes,
you won't believe...
15
00:00:50,006 --> 00:00:53,053
So by morning,
everyone knew some version
of what had happened,
16
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:57,927
most of it untrue,
and repercussions
were being felt far and near.
17
00:00:57,927 --> 00:00:59,668
She's never gonna talk
to me again, is she?
18
00:00:59,668 --> 00:01:01,278
Your mother just
needs to understand
19
00:01:01,278 --> 00:01:03,237
that you're a red-blooded,
American young man
20
00:01:03,237 --> 00:01:07,241
and that Betty, well,
she's a voluptuous,
ripe peach of a girl.
21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,549
I just...
I'm so embarrassed,
Uncle Frank.
22
00:01:11,549 --> 00:01:13,203
Well...
23
00:01:13,203 --> 00:01:15,379
Were you caught
with your pants down?
24
00:01:15,379 --> 00:01:16,728
Yes.
25
00:01:16,728 --> 00:01:18,165
Was what you were doing
a little raunchy?
26
00:01:19,035 --> 00:01:20,471
Well, maybe.
27
00:01:20,471 --> 00:01:22,169
But I'd be more worried
about you
28
00:01:22,169 --> 00:01:24,127
if you weren't
showing an interest
in that kitten.
29
00:01:24,127 --> 00:01:26,260
But for now,
just keep up
with your schoolwork,
30
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:27,870
focus on the basketball team,
31
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:29,567
stay away from Betty,
32
00:01:29,567 --> 00:01:31,178
take plenty of cold showers.
33
00:01:31,178 --> 00:01:33,789
We'll get you
through this,
Archie. All right?
34
00:01:33,789 --> 00:01:34,746
Yeah.
35
00:01:35,312 --> 00:01:36,835
Good, good.
36
00:01:38,272 --> 00:01:39,273
Good.
37
00:01:42,145 --> 00:01:45,192
You cannot
parade around naked
in front of boys.
38
00:01:45,192 --> 00:01:46,802
Okay, again,
39
00:01:46,802 --> 00:01:50,632
Archie and I were not naked.
We were just...
40
00:01:50,632 --> 00:01:53,722
Having fun.
We were in
separate houses, Mom.
41
00:01:53,722 --> 00:01:55,419
What did you think
was going to happen?
42
00:01:55,419 --> 00:01:57,726
With you,
anything's possible.
43
00:01:57,726 --> 00:02:02,470
Which is why, starting today,
you will be cutting a rug
on Riverdale Grandstand.
44
00:02:03,558 --> 00:02:04,863
Mom, no.
45
00:02:04,863 --> 00:02:06,952
Mom, I don't wanna be
part of Dad's dance show.
46
00:02:06,952 --> 00:02:10,521
Only nerds and squares
are on Dad's dance show.
47
00:02:10,521 --> 00:02:12,915
All right, enough of the sass,
young lady!
48
00:02:12,915 --> 00:02:16,614
You will be dancing
from 3:00 to 6:00
every afternoon after school.
49
00:02:16,614 --> 00:02:18,877
We will make sure that
you're nice and tuckered out
50
00:02:18,877 --> 00:02:22,664
so there's no more
late-night shows with
your pinkie out of jail
51
00:02:22,664 --> 00:02:25,014
for over-sexed young men
like Archie.
52
00:02:25,014 --> 00:02:28,626
And if I catch wind of you
even saying "hello" to that
red-headed pervert,
53
00:02:28,626 --> 00:02:29,714
well...
54
00:02:30,976 --> 00:02:33,327
You don't wanna see me
frosted, young lady.
55
00:02:38,549 --> 00:02:42,466
♪ Tweedlee tweedlee
Tweedlee dee ♪
56
00:02:44,555 --> 00:02:48,472
♪ I'm as happy as can be ♪
57
00:02:48,472 --> 00:02:50,257
Miss Veronica,
pardon the interruption,
58
00:02:50,257 --> 00:02:52,520
but a telegram arrived
59
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,043
from your parents, miss.
60
00:02:54,043 --> 00:02:55,697
Ugh...
61
00:02:55,697 --> 00:02:58,395
They must still be peeved
about Mrs. Cooper
snitching on me.
62
00:03:00,789 --> 00:03:04,880
"Mija, you have been
a bad girl. Stop.
63
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,187
Time to teach
you a lesson. Stop.
64
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:09,363
No more allowance. Stop.
65
00:03:09,363 --> 00:03:13,715
Report for work at
the Babylonium Theater
today at 3:30 sharp.
66
00:03:13,715 --> 00:03:15,369
Stop."
67
00:03:15,369 --> 00:03:17,762
They're suspending
my allowance?
68
00:03:17,762 --> 00:03:20,504
And making me get
an after-school job?
69
00:03:21,418 --> 00:03:22,985
Smithers, this is child abuse!
70
00:03:26,118 --> 00:03:28,077
Well, if they think
they can break my spirit
71
00:03:28,077 --> 00:03:30,645
as if I were a filly,
they're in for
a rude awakening.
72
00:03:43,266 --> 00:03:45,355
Hey, Dad.
73
00:03:45,355 --> 00:03:46,965
Kevin, what are you
doing with this?
74
00:03:48,793 --> 00:03:51,709
Uh, it's... It's a...
That's a bodybuilding magazine.
75
00:03:53,450 --> 00:03:54,930
Where'd you get that from?
76
00:03:54,930 --> 00:03:57,280
New pal of yours?
That Clay character?
77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,370
His name's Clay Walker.
No. Uh, no, Dad.
78
00:04:00,370 --> 00:04:02,372
What... What's going on?
79
00:04:03,068 --> 00:04:03,982
I don't know.
80
00:04:05,636 --> 00:04:07,551
I don't know, Kevin.
81
00:04:07,551 --> 00:04:09,814
I mean, you cut
your girlfriend loose, you...
82
00:04:09,814 --> 00:04:12,426
You started hanging around
with strange boys
83
00:04:12,426 --> 00:04:16,865
and you're... reading
magazines like this?
84
00:04:19,128 --> 00:04:20,434
I don't like much of any of it.
85
00:04:24,786 --> 00:04:27,179
Meanwhile,
I was wracked by guilt
86
00:04:27,179 --> 00:04:29,051
over the fact that
I betrayed my idol,
87
00:04:29,051 --> 00:04:31,923
the science-fiction writer
Brad Rayberry, when...
88
00:04:31,923 --> 00:04:34,361
Mr. Jones.
89
00:04:34,361 --> 00:04:36,101
...Featherhead called me
on the carpet.
90
00:04:41,324 --> 00:04:43,370
Care to explain this?
91
00:04:43,370 --> 00:04:46,155
I have a part-time gig
writing comic books
after school.
92
00:04:46,155 --> 00:04:48,723
The content, Mr. Jones,
is what we're concerned about.
93
00:04:48,723 --> 00:04:52,466
The violent, gruesome,
highly sexualized content,
94
00:04:52,466 --> 00:04:57,384
all happening to students
clearly inspired by your peers
here at Riverdale.
95
00:04:57,384 --> 00:04:59,821
Aren't you ashamed
96
00:04:59,821 --> 00:05:03,825
to be associated with such
reprehensible dreck?
97
00:05:03,825 --> 00:05:07,307
No. Actually, I'm quite proud
to have my name on that cover.
98
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:08,786
And whose beeswax
is it anyway
99
00:05:08,786 --> 00:05:11,572
what I do with my time
after school?
100
00:05:11,572 --> 00:05:15,358
If we were to learn that one
of our students was involved
in the creation
101
00:05:15,358 --> 00:05:16,751
and distribution
of pornography,
102
00:05:16,751 --> 00:05:19,667
we would absolutely expel them.
103
00:05:20,711 --> 00:05:22,104
This is a comic book, sir.
104
00:05:22,104 --> 00:05:23,845
This isn't a porno mag.
105
00:05:23,845 --> 00:05:27,675
Well, we don't see them
so very different, Mr. Jones.
106
00:05:27,675 --> 00:05:29,851
Both are inappropriate
for children,
107
00:05:29,851 --> 00:05:31,983
both twist their minds
and souls--
108
00:05:31,983 --> 00:05:34,072
Cut the gas.
109
00:05:34,072 --> 00:05:36,771
It's the biggest load of hooey
that's ever been laid on me
in my life!
110
00:05:36,771 --> 00:05:38,555
It's very simple,
Mr. Jones.
111
00:05:38,555 --> 00:05:41,732
Sign this agreement,
stating that you'll
no longer write
112
00:05:41,732 --> 00:05:43,430
horror and crime comic books,
113
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:46,041
and you remain a student here.
114
00:05:46,041 --> 00:05:49,914
Refuse to sign it,
and we will take steps
to have you expelled.
115
00:06:14,722 --> 00:06:15,549
Andrews!
116
00:06:31,216 --> 00:06:34,219
Can I ask,
how far did you get?
117
00:06:34,219 --> 00:06:36,570
Because I'm hearing
conflicting reports.
118
00:06:36,570 --> 00:06:39,747
All we did was
look at each other.
119
00:06:39,747 --> 00:06:41,749
My favorite words
in the English language,
120
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:43,403
"You can look,
but you can't touch."
121
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:46,580
Well, Archie and I
won't be touching
any time soon,
122
00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:48,625
or looking, for that matter.
123
00:06:48,625 --> 00:06:53,282
Especially not now that
I'm on my dad's grody
dance show every day.
124
00:06:53,282 --> 00:06:55,371
- Riverdale Grandstand?
- Mmm-hmm.
125
00:06:55,371 --> 00:06:56,764
I haven't seen it myself,
126
00:06:56,764 --> 00:06:58,418
you know television
makes my skin crawl,
127
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,245
but it seems like
it could be a kick.
128
00:07:00,245 --> 00:07:01,595
It's a bash.
129
00:07:01,595 --> 00:07:02,596
More than that,
130
00:07:02,596 --> 00:07:04,206
it's an honor.
131
00:07:04,206 --> 00:07:07,383
One, as dance captain,
I take very seriously.
132
00:07:07,383 --> 00:07:11,735
Cheryl, how and why
are you a dance captain
on Riverdale Grandstand?
133
00:07:11,735 --> 00:07:14,259
Her parents are RIVW's
biggest sponsors.
134
00:07:14,259 --> 00:07:17,741
I do my part
as dance captain
and spokeswoman.
135
00:07:17,741 --> 00:07:19,482
Say, Vee, why don't you
join the dance show?
136
00:07:19,482 --> 00:07:21,136
Absolutely not.
137
00:07:23,312 --> 00:07:25,445
I would love to,
138
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:28,535
but I'm starting my new job
at the movie theater
this afternoon.
139
00:07:28,535 --> 00:07:33,496
Part of my punishment
for encouraging
the corruption of minors.
140
00:07:33,496 --> 00:07:36,673
Speaking of that,
here's a list of rules
for participants, Betty,
141
00:07:36,673 --> 00:07:38,806
in case you get
any more pervy ideas.
142
00:07:38,806 --> 00:07:41,635
"No chewing gum,
dress code strictly enforced,
143
00:07:41,635 --> 00:07:44,681
no kissing,
no groin-on-groin contact."
144
00:07:44,681 --> 00:07:46,814
See you at 3:30 on the dot.
145
00:08:16,713 --> 00:08:17,932
All right,
everybody! Bring it in!
146
00:08:20,369 --> 00:08:22,589
I'm sure most of you know
your classmate Kevin Keller,
147
00:08:22,589 --> 00:08:25,156
but as of today,
he's the newest
member of our team.
148
00:08:25,156 --> 00:08:27,463
So let's give him
a big Bulldog welcome.
149
00:08:31,032 --> 00:08:34,122
Swell. Just what we need,
a cream puff Bulldog.
150
00:09:00,670 --> 00:09:02,019
She's a knockout,
151
00:09:03,020 --> 00:09:04,021
isn't she?
152
00:09:04,021 --> 00:09:05,545
Yes, she is.
153
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:06,937
Fat City.
154
00:09:06,937 --> 00:09:09,244
And you must be
my new boss, Mr. Lemly.
155
00:09:10,245 --> 00:09:11,855
Veronica Lodge.
156
00:09:11,855 --> 00:09:15,250
And please, whatever
arrangement my parents
made with you,
157
00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:18,993
let me assure you,
movie theaters are
my happy place.
158
00:09:18,993 --> 00:09:22,823
They have been ever since
I attended my first picture
show, Babes in Arms.
159
00:09:22,823 --> 00:09:24,476
So what's my job?
160
00:09:24,476 --> 00:09:25,565
Ticket-taker?
161
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:27,131
Popcorn girl? Usherette?
162
00:09:27,131 --> 00:09:28,480
All of the above.
163
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,831
These days I can only
afford a skeleton crew.
164
00:09:30,831 --> 00:09:32,397
That's pretty much you, me--
165
00:09:32,397 --> 00:09:33,573
And me.
166
00:09:36,663 --> 00:09:40,101
I run the projector
and try to keep on top
of repairs
167
00:09:40,101 --> 00:09:42,016
so that this place
doesn't collapse on itself.
168
00:09:42,016 --> 00:09:44,105
Enchantee, Clay.
169
00:09:44,105 --> 00:09:46,542
- Enchante.
- I look forward to getting
to know you better
170
00:09:46,542 --> 00:09:48,196
and being part of the team.
171
00:09:48,196 --> 00:09:50,415
All right, kids.
172
00:09:50,415 --> 00:09:52,766
It's time for the Bop!
173
00:10:15,876 --> 00:10:17,921
Betty! Why aren't you dancing?
174
00:10:17,921 --> 00:10:19,444
'Cause I don't wanna be here
175
00:10:19,444 --> 00:10:20,837
and I don't wanna dance.
176
00:10:20,837 --> 00:10:22,404
You have to dance!
177
00:10:22,404 --> 00:10:24,319
It's bad for ratings
if the camera pans this a-way
178
00:10:24,319 --> 00:10:26,800
and catches the daughter
of our beloved
host-with-the-most
179
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,192
acting like a canceled stamp.
180
00:10:28,192 --> 00:10:29,454
What do you want
me to do, Cheryl?
181
00:10:29,454 --> 00:10:30,804
Everyone's already paired up.
182
00:10:30,804 --> 00:10:32,327
That's not true.
183
00:10:32,327 --> 00:10:33,241
What about Dilton?
184
00:10:35,156 --> 00:10:36,897
He hasn't had
a steady partner
185
00:10:36,897 --> 00:10:38,986
since Ethel went
to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy.
Just don't...
186
00:10:38,986 --> 00:10:40,204
maul him, for Pete's sake!
187
00:10:40,683 --> 00:10:41,815
Fine.
188
00:10:48,343 --> 00:10:49,910
Just checking in.
189
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:51,389
Don't stay up too late now.
190
00:10:51,389 --> 00:10:52,739
Hey, Uncle Frank, um...
191
00:10:54,392 --> 00:10:55,959
What were you
and Sheriff Keller
talking about
192
00:10:55,959 --> 00:10:57,961
at practice today?
193
00:10:57,961 --> 00:11:00,529
Only that he wants Kevin
to get more into sports.
194
00:11:00,529 --> 00:11:03,445
Thinks he could use
some better male role models.
195
00:11:03,445 --> 00:11:04,838
Regular Joes like me and you.
196
00:11:07,492 --> 00:11:08,929
Is something wrong with Kevin?
197
00:11:12,323 --> 00:11:13,237
Well...
198
00:11:14,543 --> 00:11:17,720
Sometimes boys get confused
199
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,504
about how they're
supposed to act.
200
00:11:19,504 --> 00:11:22,203
Don't worry, Archie.
I promised Tom, you and me,
201
00:11:23,465 --> 00:11:24,858
we'll straighten Kevin out.
202
00:11:38,219 --> 00:11:39,829
Hey, Kev.
203
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:42,310
Hey, what're you doing
during lunch?
204
00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:44,878
I thought maybe we could
hang out, shoot some baskets.
205
00:11:46,444 --> 00:11:47,750
Yeah, sure.
206
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:49,317
Gee, that's swell!
207
00:11:49,317 --> 00:11:50,535
I'll see you in the gym.
208
00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:51,493
Catch you later, Clay.
209
00:12:07,944 --> 00:12:09,641
Mr. Rayberry!
210
00:12:09,641 --> 00:12:12,209
I was wondering
if I could trade
this check in for cash.
211
00:12:13,123 --> 00:12:14,516
I don't trust banks.
212
00:12:14,516 --> 00:12:16,213
Sure, Mr. Rayberry.
213
00:12:17,606 --> 00:12:18,520
Let me talk to payroll.
214
00:12:20,217 --> 00:12:21,697
Thank you.
215
00:12:21,697 --> 00:12:23,481
- Again, I'm so sorry--
- It's 12:30.
216
00:12:24,787 --> 00:12:26,571
Shouldn't you be in school?
217
00:12:26,571 --> 00:12:27,747
I might have dropped out.
218
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:29,270
Why?
219
00:12:29,270 --> 00:12:31,098
Well...
220
00:12:31,098 --> 00:12:33,709
The finks at the top
said that if I don't stop
writing comic books
221
00:12:33,709 --> 00:12:35,711
and corrupting America's youth,
222
00:12:35,711 --> 00:12:38,975
that I'll be expelled
for some cooked-up malarkey.
223
00:12:38,975 --> 00:12:40,542
So... I beat feet.
224
00:12:41,456 --> 00:12:42,326
Huh.
225
00:12:43,023 --> 00:12:44,111
Hope it's worth it.
226
00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:49,116
What time is your
lunch break, anyway?
227
00:12:52,075 --> 00:12:53,511
Any time, I guess.
228
00:12:58,865 --> 00:13:00,780
Hey, Kev.
229
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,782
You know, you and I
have been in the same
grade since kindergarten.
230
00:13:05,654 --> 00:13:07,961
Why basketball? Why now?
231
00:13:07,961 --> 00:13:09,919
Uh, it was my dad's idea.
232
00:13:11,268 --> 00:13:14,184
I just think he wants me
to be a regular guy.
233
00:13:14,184 --> 00:13:15,664
Less of an off-horse.
234
00:13:15,664 --> 00:13:17,144
What does that even mean?
235
00:13:18,493 --> 00:13:20,538
You know, a guy
who likes sports,
236
00:13:20,538 --> 00:13:22,149
who, um...
237
00:13:22,149 --> 00:13:26,109
does, like, what
you did with Betty.
238
00:13:26,109 --> 00:13:29,939
Who isn't interested
in things like poetry
239
00:13:29,939 --> 00:13:33,769
and drama and music
and movie stars and--
240
00:13:33,769 --> 00:13:34,857
I like those things.
241
00:13:34,857 --> 00:13:36,946
Well, yeah, but you're...
242
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:40,907
What?
243
00:13:42,386 --> 00:13:43,518
What am I?
244
00:13:43,518 --> 00:13:44,519
You're normal, Archie.
You're normal.
245
00:13:46,042 --> 00:13:47,827
Kevin, so are you.
246
00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:50,873
Yeah, I...
I wanna be,
247
00:13:50,873 --> 00:13:51,961
more than anything.
248
00:13:53,615 --> 00:13:55,095
I just want to be
like everybody else.
249
00:14:09,631 --> 00:14:11,415
Again and...
and for the rest
of my life,
250
00:14:11,415 --> 00:14:13,026
I would like
to apologize...
251
00:14:13,026 --> 00:14:15,376
For stealing and
reading my novel.
252
00:14:16,812 --> 00:14:18,466
For that. Yeah.
Mmm-hmm.
253
00:14:18,466 --> 00:14:19,771
It was a chump move
254
00:14:19,771 --> 00:14:21,556
and you had every right
to bite my head off.
255
00:14:21,556 --> 00:14:22,557
I did.
256
00:14:23,601 --> 00:14:25,212
That said, I, um...
257
00:14:26,735 --> 00:14:29,694
I may have, uh, overreacted.
258
00:14:29,694 --> 00:14:30,913
No, I... I...
259
00:14:30,913 --> 00:14:32,219
I totally understand
260
00:14:32,219 --> 00:14:33,655
why you were
being protective over
261
00:14:33,655 --> 00:14:35,396
The Jupiter Journals.
Mr. Rayberry, I...
262
00:14:37,267 --> 00:14:39,226
I think it's
a masterpiece.
263
00:14:39,226 --> 00:14:41,228
Huh.
264
00:14:41,228 --> 00:14:42,490
If I wrote that manuscript,
265
00:14:42,490 --> 00:14:44,274
I... I think I could
die a happy man.
266
00:14:44,753 --> 00:14:45,885
Wow.
267
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:47,234
Before we start
268
00:14:47,234 --> 00:14:48,713
planning your funeral,
let's talk about
269
00:14:48,713 --> 00:14:50,019
you dropping
out of school.
270
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:52,108
You should go back.
271
00:14:52,108 --> 00:14:53,457
Education's important.
272
00:14:54,763 --> 00:14:56,417
I... I just
don't really
273
00:14:56,417 --> 00:14:58,985
see why I have
to choose between
writing comic books
274
00:14:58,985 --> 00:15:00,073
and getting an education.
275
00:15:00,073 --> 00:15:01,161
You shouldn't.
276
00:15:01,770 --> 00:15:03,293
And this,
277
00:15:03,293 --> 00:15:06,557
young sir, is what is
known as a
278
00:15:06,557 --> 00:15:07,689
Gordian knot.
279
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,128
So, tell me everything
you know
280
00:15:12,128 --> 00:15:13,477
about this
Werthers clown,
281
00:15:13,477 --> 00:15:14,565
who he is,
282
00:15:14,565 --> 00:15:16,002
where he comes from,
what he's about,
283
00:15:16,002 --> 00:15:17,090
what he believes.
284
00:15:19,744 --> 00:15:21,703
Fellas,
an announcement.
285
00:15:21,703 --> 00:15:24,662
Let's give a proud woof
for Rodgers here
286
00:15:24,662 --> 00:15:26,099
who finally did
287
00:15:26,099 --> 00:15:29,189
the dirty deed with
Jenny Stevens last night.
288
00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:32,148
In the back of his dad's
Thunderbird, no less.
289
00:15:32,148 --> 00:15:36,457
Whoo! Whoo!
- Between Rodgers
and Andrews'
290
00:15:36,457 --> 00:15:37,980
X-rated peep show
with Betty Cooper,
291
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:39,939
we might want
to rename our team
292
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:41,549
the Horndogs.
293
00:15:42,942 --> 00:15:44,160
The question is,
294
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,119
which one of you
fruitcakes is next?
295
00:15:47,598 --> 00:15:48,817
Can't be a real man
296
00:15:48,817 --> 00:15:50,253
unless you've gone
all the way with a woman.
297
00:15:50,253 --> 00:15:51,907
We all know
Fogarty's solid.
298
00:15:51,907 --> 00:15:53,343
You and Midge, right?
299
00:15:53,343 --> 00:15:55,215
That's none of your
beeswax there, Blossom.
300
00:15:56,216 --> 00:15:58,174
Man of mystery, okay.
301
00:16:00,002 --> 00:16:01,047
What about you, Keller?
302
00:16:02,222 --> 00:16:03,266
What about you?
303
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:05,965
Julian?
304
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:07,140
Pretty sure
you're still a virgin?
305
00:16:07,140 --> 00:16:09,316
Uh, keep dreaming.
306
00:16:09,316 --> 00:16:10,317
Crossed into
the promised land
307
00:16:10,317 --> 00:16:12,536
on my 16th birthday,
308
00:16:12,536 --> 00:16:15,061
when my dad took me
to see Twyla Twyst.
309
00:16:15,061 --> 00:16:16,236
Who's Twyla Twyst?
310
00:16:16,236 --> 00:16:18,281
A floozy who works
311
00:16:18,281 --> 00:16:20,327
out of the Cozy Time Motel
behind the school.
312
00:16:20,327 --> 00:16:22,285
Spend one night with her.
313
00:16:22,285 --> 00:16:23,808
Heck, even one hour
314
00:16:23,808 --> 00:16:25,158
and you'll never
be the same.
315
00:16:27,725 --> 00:16:29,249
What do you say, Keller?
316
00:16:30,641 --> 00:16:31,816
You up for it?
317
00:16:31,816 --> 00:16:32,992
Put a lid on it. Julian.
318
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:35,168
- Kevin--
- Yeah, I'll do it.
319
00:16:35,168 --> 00:16:36,256
I'll go see her.
320
00:16:37,213 --> 00:16:38,345
Attaboy, Keller.
321
00:16:39,607 --> 00:16:40,564
That's the spirit.
322
00:16:40,564 --> 00:16:41,609
Let me know
when and where.
323
00:16:46,309 --> 00:16:49,704
So, Clay,
bring me up to speed.
324
00:16:49,704 --> 00:16:52,446
Am I sensing you're
a fellow cinephile?
325
00:16:52,446 --> 00:16:54,622
It's actually what
I wannna study in college.
326
00:16:55,536 --> 00:16:56,798
Filmmaking.
327
00:16:56,798 --> 00:16:59,801
I know, it sounds nutty
as a can of peanuts,
328
00:16:59,801 --> 00:17:01,324
but I dream
of one day
329
00:17:01,324 --> 00:17:03,544
inspiring people like
my hero inspired me.
330
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,459
Oscar Micheaux.
331
00:17:05,459 --> 00:17:07,200
Who's he?
A Black director.
332
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,462
He started at
the same time as
333
00:17:08,462 --> 00:17:09,724
D.W. Griffith
and Mary Pickford.
334
00:17:09,724 --> 00:17:11,465
Well, if we're,
335
00:17:11,465 --> 00:17:14,642
indulging in pipe dreams today.
336
00:17:14,642 --> 00:17:16,557
I've never been crazy
about being in front
337
00:17:16,557 --> 00:17:19,125
of the cameras
but I do love
338
00:17:19,125 --> 00:17:20,213
being near them.
339
00:17:21,257 --> 00:17:23,390
Well, maybe
340
00:17:23,390 --> 00:17:26,828
your destiny is to run
a studio one day and then,
341
00:17:26,828 --> 00:17:29,439
you can hire me
to direct my first movie.
342
00:17:30,571 --> 00:17:31,398
Deal.
343
00:17:34,879 --> 00:17:36,446
Oh, Mr. Lemly.
344
00:17:36,446 --> 00:17:38,057
When does our rush begin?
345
00:17:39,928 --> 00:17:41,234
You're looking at it.
346
00:17:41,234 --> 00:17:43,671
Seems like it's gonna be
another slow night.
347
00:17:43,671 --> 00:17:45,542
Uh, slow is one thing
348
00:17:45,542 --> 00:17:48,154
but graveyard-like
is another.
349
00:17:48,719 --> 00:17:49,720
What gives?
350
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,940
TV's taken
a Dracula-sized bite
351
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:53,159
out of our business.
352
00:17:53,159 --> 00:17:55,248
Also, that new
353
00:17:55,248 --> 00:17:57,728
drive-in that's just
opened up, The Starlight,
354
00:17:59,034 --> 00:17:59,948
doesn't help either.
355
00:17:59,948 --> 00:18:01,428
Excuse me.
356
00:18:01,428 --> 00:18:03,604
Living rooms
and drive-ins
357
00:18:03,604 --> 00:18:05,562
cannot compete with
the experience
358
00:18:05,562 --> 00:18:07,042
of seeing a movie
359
00:18:07,042 --> 00:18:09,958
in a palace like
the Babylonium.
360
00:18:09,958 --> 00:18:11,829
People need to be
reminded of that.
361
00:18:11,829 --> 00:18:13,788
How about an ad
in the Riverdale Register?
362
00:18:15,137 --> 00:18:17,792
Or what about a commercial?
363
00:18:18,401 --> 00:18:19,707
On television
364
00:18:19,707 --> 00:18:22,405
aired during
Riverdale Grandstand.
365
00:18:22,405 --> 00:18:23,711
All the kids will
see it that way.
366
00:18:28,281 --> 00:18:30,413
Dancing up a storm
sure is hard work.
367
00:18:30,413 --> 00:18:31,762
That's why
I like to fortify myself
368
00:18:31,762 --> 00:18:33,329
throughout the day
with hearty helpings
369
00:18:33,329 --> 00:18:34,809
of Blossom Maple Syrup.
370
00:18:34,809 --> 00:18:36,202
Try it on your pancakes.
371
00:18:36,202 --> 00:18:37,638
Waffles.
Biscuits.
372
00:18:37,638 --> 00:18:39,901
And even your
favorite ice cream.
373
00:18:39,901 --> 00:18:41,163
Nine out of 10 Americans agree
374
00:18:41,163 --> 00:18:42,643
there is nothing quite like
375
00:18:42,643 --> 00:18:44,471
the extra sweet flavor
of Blossom maple syrup.
376
00:18:44,471 --> 00:18:45,733
And remember, kids,
377
00:18:45,733 --> 00:18:47,126
it's not just for
breakfast anymore.
378
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:49,215
Now in economy-sized tins.
379
00:18:49,998 --> 00:18:52,043
And cut!
380
00:18:53,697 --> 00:18:58,180
All right, kids,
let's swing again
to, "Listen To Me Baby."
381
00:19:06,710 --> 00:19:07,581
Hey, there.
382
00:19:08,321 --> 00:19:10,845
It's Betty, right?
383
00:19:10,845 --> 00:19:14,762
I'm Troy. My, uh,
usual partner, Judy,
has the mumps.
384
00:19:14,762 --> 00:19:17,025
You wanna let me
take you out for a spin?
385
00:19:17,025 --> 00:19:18,983
Sure, you might as well.
386
00:19:18,983 --> 00:19:19,897
Well, that's swell.
387
00:19:34,738 --> 00:19:35,609
So, is it true?
388
00:19:38,742 --> 00:19:39,917
That you, uh,
389
00:19:39,917 --> 00:19:42,311
like it when guys watch you?
390
00:19:44,008 --> 00:19:46,185
I don't know what
you're talking about.
391
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,535
Come on, fess up.
392
00:19:48,535 --> 00:19:50,319
I mean, we've all
heard the story.
393
00:19:51,973 --> 00:19:53,322
After we wrap here,
394
00:19:53,322 --> 00:19:56,151
how about you and I
go down to the river
395
00:19:56,151 --> 00:19:57,805
and you can
put on a little
396
00:19:57,805 --> 00:19:59,241
private show for me?
397
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,590
Will ya?
398
00:20:01,635 --> 00:20:03,767
Get your paws
off me, creep!
399
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,555
Betty! Betty!
400
00:20:08,555 --> 00:20:11,601
You cannot do that
on live television.
401
00:20:11,601 --> 00:20:13,429
Atta girl.
402
00:20:17,433 --> 00:20:18,478
For the 100th time,
403
00:20:18,478 --> 00:20:19,957
it wasn't my fault.
404
00:20:19,957 --> 00:20:21,132
Troy got fresh with me.
405
00:20:21,132 --> 00:20:22,917
- He grabbed my--
- If he did,
406
00:20:22,917 --> 00:20:25,963
it's because you have
created a fast reputation.
407
00:20:25,963 --> 00:20:28,575
I barely touched him.
408
00:20:28,575 --> 00:20:30,490
What is the matter with you?
409
00:20:30,490 --> 00:20:32,100
You know what would
solve this problem?
410
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:34,407
If you let me off
Riverdale Grandstand.
411
00:20:34,407 --> 00:20:36,104
You know what?
I'm gonna have a little chat
412
00:20:36,104 --> 00:20:38,367
with all of
the young men
on our show.
413
00:20:38,367 --> 00:20:41,588
And no one is going
to dance with you.
414
00:20:41,588 --> 00:20:43,416
Wait, so what am I
going to be doing then?
415
00:20:43,416 --> 00:20:44,721
You can sit in the corner
416
00:20:44,721 --> 00:20:46,767
and stew like a sourpuss
for all I care.
417
00:20:52,207 --> 00:20:53,774
Hey, Mr. Rayberry.
418
00:20:53,774 --> 00:20:56,037
Uh, sorry, can...
Can I come in?
419
00:20:56,037 --> 00:20:57,256
Sure.
420
00:20:57,256 --> 00:20:59,432
As long you don't
swipe anything.
421
00:20:59,432 --> 00:21:00,607
I've... I've...
I've been thinking about it.
422
00:21:00,607 --> 00:21:02,565
I don't wanna
give up writing.
423
00:21:02,565 --> 00:21:04,306
My high school diploma
be damned.
424
00:21:04,306 --> 00:21:05,742
I agree.
425
00:21:05,742 --> 00:21:07,309
And you're right.
You shouldn't stop writing,
426
00:21:07,309 --> 00:21:08,963
but you do need a front.
427
00:21:08,963 --> 00:21:10,443
- A cover.
- A front?
428
00:21:10,443 --> 00:21:12,358
I have friends in
Hollywood who, uh,
429
00:21:12,358 --> 00:21:13,359
were blacklisted
430
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,839
when McCarthy was, um,
431
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:17,580
ringing the alarm
on the so-called
432
00:21:17,580 --> 00:21:18,886
"Communist threat."
433
00:21:19,408 --> 00:21:20,670
And, uh,
434
00:21:20,670 --> 00:21:22,281
they kept writing
but under pseudonyms.
435
00:21:23,194 --> 00:21:24,370
You should do that.
436
00:21:24,370 --> 00:21:25,806
Hmm?
437
00:21:25,806 --> 00:21:27,503
Publish what you want
under a different name
438
00:21:27,503 --> 00:21:29,636
and Werthers will be
none the wiser.
439
00:21:29,636 --> 00:21:31,377
Yeah, but do you
really think that
440
00:21:31,377 --> 00:21:32,813
Werthers is gonna buy
441
00:21:32,813 --> 00:21:34,380
that I just quit writing
comic books altogether?
442
00:21:34,380 --> 00:21:36,425
It's so simplistic, no?
443
00:21:36,425 --> 00:21:38,122
Well, not if you muddy
the waters.
444
00:21:38,122 --> 00:21:39,298
I mean, like, if, uh,
445
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:40,951
you tell Werthers
you're, uh...
446
00:21:40,951 --> 00:21:43,867
You're shifting your focus
off horror comic books
447
00:21:43,867 --> 00:21:46,130
to, I don't know,
448
00:21:46,130 --> 00:21:47,741
happy animal
comic books.
449
00:21:49,133 --> 00:21:50,396
Yeah, yeah.
450
00:21:50,396 --> 00:21:51,484
Like, Super Duck.
451
00:21:51,484 --> 00:21:53,486
Yeah, exactly.
452
00:21:53,486 --> 00:21:55,531
Tell Werthers
you're writing Super Duck,
453
00:21:55,531 --> 00:21:57,490
uh, keep churning out
the horror stories
454
00:21:57,490 --> 00:21:59,535
under an alias
and problem solved. Right?
455
00:22:08,196 --> 00:22:09,066
God, Archie,
456
00:22:09,980 --> 00:22:10,851
what am I gonna do?
457
00:22:11,982 --> 00:22:14,942
What am I gonna do? I...
458
00:22:17,814 --> 00:22:19,338
Listen,
459
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:22,079
just put yourself
in her hands, Kevin.
460
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:23,864
Let nature
take its course.
461
00:22:23,864 --> 00:22:25,082
Is that how
your first time went?
462
00:22:29,435 --> 00:22:30,479
Kevin...
463
00:22:31,741 --> 00:22:33,134
I'm still a virgin, too.
464
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:34,570
You are?
465
00:22:35,702 --> 00:22:36,572
Yeah.
466
00:22:39,967 --> 00:22:41,447
Well, doesn't
that beat all?
467
00:22:42,926 --> 00:22:44,537
If I'm a virgin
and you're a virgin,
468
00:22:44,537 --> 00:22:46,452
why do I have to go
to Twyla and you don't?
469
00:22:46,452 --> 00:22:48,628
Why do I have
to prove something
and you don't?
470
00:22:50,020 --> 00:22:51,587
It's funny how
the world works, isn't it?
471
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,429
We're so pleased
472
00:23:07,429 --> 00:23:08,996
that you've come
to your senses, Mr. Jones.
473
00:23:08,996 --> 00:23:10,214
Just hold your horses.
474
00:23:10,214 --> 00:23:11,564
We have some stipulations.
475
00:23:12,652 --> 00:23:13,914
And what exactly
476
00:23:13,914 --> 00:23:15,959
is your interest
in this, Mr. Rayberry?
477
00:23:15,959 --> 00:23:18,701
How do you even
know Mr. Jones?
478
00:23:18,701 --> 00:23:20,921
Well, we are colleagues,
479
00:23:20,921 --> 00:23:22,009
at Pep Comics.
480
00:23:22,009 --> 00:23:23,532
And I just most
recently started
481
00:23:23,532 --> 00:23:25,752
to mentor, Jughead.
482
00:23:25,752 --> 00:23:27,014
How, uh,
483
00:23:27,014 --> 00:23:29,582
magnanimous of you.
484
00:23:29,582 --> 00:23:32,149
Jughead agrees to stop
writing horror comics
485
00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:33,455
per this agreement.
486
00:23:33,455 --> 00:23:35,109
But I will continue
to write comics
487
00:23:35,109 --> 00:23:38,242
for Pep, specifically,
Super Duck.
488
00:23:38,242 --> 00:23:40,984
It's wholesome,
family friendly fare.
489
00:23:40,984 --> 00:23:43,596
Unobjectionable,
you might say.
490
00:23:43,596 --> 00:23:46,860
Well, although we appreciate
Jughead's curbing
491
00:23:46,860 --> 00:23:49,558
the violent content
of his previous work--
492
00:23:49,558 --> 00:23:51,908
Okay, let's cut
the bull, Doc.
493
00:23:51,908 --> 00:23:52,953
Okay?
494
00:23:52,953 --> 00:23:55,085
What you are doing
to my mentee
495
00:23:55,085 --> 00:23:57,087
is unconstitutional.
496
00:23:58,785 --> 00:24:00,569
And if you continue
to harass him,
497
00:24:00,569 --> 00:24:02,092
I am prepared
to escalate this
498
00:24:02,092 --> 00:24:03,659
as far as we need to go.
499
00:24:03,659 --> 00:24:06,445
Are you talking about
the PTA, Mr. Rayberry?
500
00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:08,751
No, I'm not talking
about the PTA.
501
00:24:08,751 --> 00:24:10,449
I'm talking about
a little organization
502
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:12,146
called the US
Supreme Court.
503
00:24:14,496 --> 00:24:18,282
So how does
Jones v. Board of Education
sound to you?
504
00:24:18,282 --> 00:24:19,806
I'm curious
if the justices
505
00:24:19,806 --> 00:24:21,198
would take the same stance
506
00:24:21,198 --> 00:24:24,114
regarding comic books
as you do, Mr. Werthers.
507
00:24:24,114 --> 00:24:28,075
Namely that they are
as problematic as
hardcore pornography?
508
00:24:28,075 --> 00:24:31,557
Gentlemen, let's not
lose our heads.
509
00:24:31,557 --> 00:24:35,082
Uh, I'm sure none of us,
uh, wanna blow this thing
out of proportion.
510
00:24:35,082 --> 00:24:36,605
And I'm...
I'm not an expert.
511
00:24:36,605 --> 00:24:38,651
but it seems
to me that this
512
00:24:38,651 --> 00:24:41,218
Super Duck character
is, uh...
513
00:24:42,655 --> 00:24:43,656
quite harmless.
514
00:24:47,877 --> 00:24:49,705
Wouldn't you agree,
Dr. Werthers?
515
00:24:51,751 --> 00:24:54,144
Yes, for the moment.
516
00:24:54,144 --> 00:24:56,756
- Great.
- Well, this was just tops.
517
00:24:58,192 --> 00:24:59,498
So glad to be back.
518
00:25:05,373 --> 00:25:09,290
♪ I've been waiting
A long time ♪
519
00:25:11,379 --> 00:25:14,164
♪ 'Cause waiting... ♪
520
00:25:14,164 --> 00:25:15,601
So, baby, Julian
tells me
521
00:25:15,601 --> 00:25:17,037
you're cruising
for a good time.
522
00:25:22,564 --> 00:25:24,740
Come, dance with me.
523
00:25:29,310 --> 00:25:30,529
You can follow my lead.
524
00:25:31,921 --> 00:25:33,575
Let Twyla
take care of you.
525
00:25:43,498 --> 00:25:44,891
Hello. Cooper.
526
00:25:48,590 --> 00:25:50,244
Here you go.
Thank you.
527
00:25:55,031 --> 00:25:55,902
Betty.
528
00:25:56,642 --> 00:25:57,686
Archie.
529
00:25:59,427 --> 00:26:01,255
Thank you.
530
00:26:01,255 --> 00:26:02,778
Uh, what are you...
What are you up to?
531
00:26:04,737 --> 00:26:06,652
Well, you know, just
532
00:26:06,652 --> 00:26:08,131
picking up dinner
on my way home
533
00:26:08,131 --> 00:26:09,219
from the studio.
534
00:26:12,832 --> 00:26:13,920
Say, uh, Betty,
535
00:26:15,225 --> 00:26:16,096
can I ask you something?
536
00:26:17,706 --> 00:26:18,751
Yeah.
537
00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:21,841
Um...
538
00:26:23,582 --> 00:26:24,757
When you and, uh...
539
00:26:24,757 --> 00:26:25,888
When you and Kevin
were dating...
540
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:29,805
what... How was he?
541
00:26:30,937 --> 00:26:32,242
- What do you mean?
- I don't know.
542
00:26:32,242 --> 00:26:33,156
Uh, well...
543
00:26:34,462 --> 00:26:37,247
His dad's
got it into his head
that Kevin's
544
00:26:37,247 --> 00:26:38,727
funny, you know,
545
00:26:38,727 --> 00:26:41,687
an off horse,
little girly, I guess.
546
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:49,695
Archie,
you don't expect me
to kiss and tell, do you?
547
00:26:49,695 --> 00:26:52,045
No, no, of course not.
548
00:26:53,742 --> 00:26:55,004
Anyway, hopefully
after tonight,
549
00:26:55,004 --> 00:26:56,832
Kevin will
straighten out.
550
00:26:56,832 --> 00:26:58,442
- Fly right.
- What do you mean? Why?
551
00:26:58,442 --> 00:26:59,356
What's happening tonight?
552
00:27:01,271 --> 00:27:03,056
Nothing.
553
00:27:03,056 --> 00:27:04,666
- God, I shouldn't
have said anything.
- Archie.
554
00:27:04,666 --> 00:27:06,799
What do you mean?
Tell me what's
happening tonight?
555
00:27:12,674 --> 00:27:13,719
Kevin, don't do it.
556
00:27:18,549 --> 00:27:20,377
Oh, God.
557
00:27:20,377 --> 00:27:23,032
Am I too late?
Did something bad happen?
558
00:27:23,032 --> 00:27:24,468
The only thing that
happened in here
559
00:27:24,468 --> 00:27:25,818
was a whole lot of nothing.
560
00:27:27,471 --> 00:27:30,474
We were having
a little dance party.
561
00:27:30,474 --> 00:27:32,999
I let down
my hair a little
562
00:27:32,999 --> 00:27:35,305
then he started
bawling like a baby,
563
00:27:35,305 --> 00:27:37,003
saying, "I can't do it."
564
00:27:41,747 --> 00:27:43,923
But tonight might not be
a total bust.
565
00:27:44,750 --> 00:27:46,012
Come here, sugar.
566
00:27:46,012 --> 00:27:47,230
You're a hunk
and a half.
567
00:27:47,230 --> 00:27:48,492
Come to Twyla.
568
00:27:48,492 --> 00:27:49,885
I'm just here
for my friend.
569
00:27:52,671 --> 00:27:54,934
Oh, he's your friend, is he?
570
00:27:55,891 --> 00:27:57,850
That makes sense.
571
00:27:57,850 --> 00:28:00,113
Twyla knows the score,
she's been around the block
more than once.
572
00:28:01,462 --> 00:28:02,681
Take him.
573
00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:03,856
He's all yours.
574
00:28:05,205 --> 00:28:06,902
Come on, Kev.
Let's split.
575
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,386
Why did you come
and get me, Archie?
576
00:28:13,213 --> 00:28:15,650
I ran into Betty at Pop's,
577
00:28:15,650 --> 00:28:18,566
told her what was going on
and she blew a gasket.
578
00:28:18,566 --> 00:28:20,568
She said I had to...
579
00:28:20,568 --> 00:28:24,398
come and save you from
doing something that might
scar you for life.
580
00:28:24,398 --> 00:28:26,052
Boy, was she frosted.
581
00:28:26,052 --> 00:28:28,054
What am I gonna say
to the guys, Archie?
582
00:28:28,054 --> 00:28:29,490
When they find out
what happened
583
00:28:29,490 --> 00:28:30,621
or what didn't happened,
584
00:28:30,621 --> 00:28:32,449
it will be the end of me.
585
00:28:32,449 --> 00:28:34,756
I'm never gonna be
a normal fella.
586
00:28:34,756 --> 00:28:35,931
Hey, what about this?
587
00:28:36,671 --> 00:28:38,325
We're gonna tell them
588
00:28:38,325 --> 00:28:40,457
that you made it with Twyla,
that you went all the way.
589
00:28:40,457 --> 00:28:41,720
I'll back you up.
590
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,938
And I'll give you
some things to say.
591
00:28:43,983 --> 00:28:46,072
Things that I've...
592
00:28:46,072 --> 00:28:48,422
read in magazines
or heard my Uncle Frank say.
593
00:28:50,946 --> 00:28:53,383
Look, don't worry, Kevin.
594
00:28:53,383 --> 00:28:55,472
We're gonna get you
on the stick and sell it.
595
00:29:04,046 --> 00:29:06,048
No matter who you are,
596
00:29:06,048 --> 00:29:07,702
hot rodder or cheerleader,
597
00:29:07,702 --> 00:29:09,399
book worm or jock,
598
00:29:09,399 --> 00:29:10,923
square or beatnik,
599
00:29:10,923 --> 00:29:13,926
deep down we all yearn
for the same things.
600
00:29:13,926 --> 00:29:17,364
Adventure, romance, excitement.
601
00:29:17,364 --> 00:29:20,106
Well, what if I told you
that just for 49 cents
602
00:29:20,106 --> 00:29:22,151
you could have
all that and more.
603
00:29:22,151 --> 00:29:25,894
Movies have the power
to transport us
all over the world.
604
00:29:25,894 --> 00:29:29,289
But only if you see them
in a theater like
the Babylonium.
605
00:29:30,812 --> 00:29:32,466
They're magical,
special places,
606
00:29:32,466 --> 00:29:34,773
where it even
feels good to cry.
607
00:29:34,773 --> 00:29:36,209
It's a scientific fact.
608
00:29:36,209 --> 00:29:38,689
Movies are better
in movie theaters.
609
00:29:38,689 --> 00:29:40,474
Come to the Babylonium
610
00:29:40,474 --> 00:29:41,475
to laugh,
611
00:29:41,475 --> 00:29:43,564
to cry,
612
00:29:43,564 --> 00:29:46,523
to sit in the dark
and experience something
powerful together.
613
00:29:46,523 --> 00:29:50,832
And fall in love
with the movies again
for the first time.
614
00:30:01,843 --> 00:30:03,889
Well, Mr. Lemly,
615
00:30:03,889 --> 00:30:05,455
what did you think
of the commercial?
616
00:30:06,065 --> 00:30:07,501
Perfection.
617
00:30:07,501 --> 00:30:11,244
So why don't you buy
a few choice spots
618
00:30:11,244 --> 00:30:13,507
and see if it gets
word of mouth going?
619
00:30:13,507 --> 00:30:16,989
Veronica, I've been negotiating
the sale of the Babylonium
620
00:30:16,989 --> 00:30:20,122
to an interested party
for the last few months.
621
00:30:20,122 --> 00:30:22,385
The official offer
finally came through.
622
00:30:23,604 --> 00:30:24,953
Who's buying it?
623
00:30:26,607 --> 00:30:28,522
Well... It's your parents.
624
00:30:30,045 --> 00:30:31,438
That's how I know them.
625
00:30:31,438 --> 00:30:32,918
My parents?
626
00:30:35,877 --> 00:30:38,314
They're not even in
the movie theater business.
627
00:30:40,142 --> 00:30:41,970
They don't even
appreciate movies.
628
00:30:41,970 --> 00:30:44,799
Oh, I assumed you knew.
629
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:49,021
It's my understanding they're
gonna turn the Babylonium
into a parking lot.
630
00:30:53,677 --> 00:30:57,420
Mr. Rayberry,
that Supreme Court bit
was inspired.
631
00:30:57,420 --> 00:30:59,596
You had Dr. Werthers
quaking in his boots.
632
00:30:59,596 --> 00:31:03,122
And Principal Featherhead's
face was priceless.
633
00:31:03,122 --> 00:31:05,385
Straw men fall easily.
634
00:31:05,385 --> 00:31:08,475
But I'm glad though that you're
going back to school.
635
00:31:08,475 --> 00:31:11,260
And that you get to keep
writing comic books.
636
00:31:11,260 --> 00:31:13,567
Mmm, I wanted
to talk to you about that.
637
00:31:13,567 --> 00:31:15,917
What if you were to really be
my mentor?
638
00:31:17,484 --> 00:31:20,095
I'm open.
639
00:31:20,095 --> 00:31:23,882
Let me finish this milkshake
before we sign any
adoption papers, huh.
640
00:31:23,882 --> 00:31:24,926
Right on, yeah.
641
00:31:24,926 --> 00:31:26,058
Yeah, of course.
642
00:31:27,624 --> 00:31:31,063
Look, I did wanna tell you
though that
643
00:31:31,063 --> 00:31:33,021
I've decided
to re-read my novel.
644
00:31:34,762 --> 00:31:35,894
I think it's time.
645
00:31:54,434 --> 00:31:56,915
An Edward Hopper original.
646
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:00,440
Bet you're worth
a pretty penny.
647
00:32:04,966 --> 00:32:06,054
Dad?
648
00:32:07,316 --> 00:32:09,362
You had quite
an eventful evening.
649
00:32:11,712 --> 00:32:13,453
I know that you went
and saw Twyla.
650
00:32:15,716 --> 00:32:17,022
How?
651
00:32:17,022 --> 00:32:19,024
Did Julian tell you?
652
00:32:19,024 --> 00:32:22,331
Only because I asked
for him to suggest it to you
in the first place.
653
00:32:25,726 --> 00:32:28,511
I thought maybe
if the idea came from
654
00:32:28,511 --> 00:32:31,514
one of your classmates
you might be more inclined
to do it.
655
00:32:39,131 --> 00:32:41,220
- Well--
- I spoke to Twyla,
656
00:32:42,656 --> 00:32:45,615
right after Archie came
and rescued you.
657
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,967
She told me what happened.
658
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,665
That you couldn't or wouldn't.
659
00:32:54,624 --> 00:32:55,974
That you started to cry.
660
00:33:25,481 --> 00:33:28,180
I don't know exactly
what happened last night,
661
00:33:28,180 --> 00:33:30,051
but Tom just called.
662
00:33:30,051 --> 00:33:32,358
He told me that Kevin
will no longer be on
the basketball team.
663
00:33:35,622 --> 00:33:37,015
Poor Tom.
664
00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:38,712
I feel for him,
665
00:33:38,712 --> 00:33:40,018
having a son who's bent.
666
00:33:41,236 --> 00:33:42,411
Such a shame.
667
00:33:46,415 --> 00:33:47,677
Well, what about
your breakfast?
668
00:33:47,677 --> 00:33:49,418
Uh, lost my appetite.
669
00:33:56,643 --> 00:33:57,557
Hmm.
670
00:34:00,908 --> 00:34:02,344
I've been mulling over
671
00:34:02,344 --> 00:34:04,651
our conversation
from yesterday,
Mr. Lemly.
672
00:34:04,651 --> 00:34:07,480
And I'd like to buy
the Babylonium.
673
00:34:09,656 --> 00:34:11,701
More specifically,
674
00:34:11,701 --> 00:34:15,357
I'd like to trade this painting
from my personal collection
for your theater.
675
00:34:16,097 --> 00:34:17,490
I've spoken to Crestby's
676
00:34:17,490 --> 00:34:19,796
and I think you'll find
that on the open market,
677
00:34:19,796 --> 00:34:22,408
an original Hopper
is worth much more
678
00:34:22,408 --> 00:34:24,410
than what my parents
are offering you.
679
00:34:26,281 --> 00:34:28,892
I'm deep in negotiations
with your folks.
680
00:34:28,892 --> 00:34:29,806
I know.
681
00:34:29,806 --> 00:34:31,417
But...
682
00:34:31,417 --> 00:34:35,551
our commercial
wasn't false advertising.
683
00:34:35,551 --> 00:34:40,165
Going to the movies
is special.
684
00:34:40,165 --> 00:34:43,777
Working here at the Babylonium,
even briefly, has rekindled
685
00:34:43,777 --> 00:34:45,431
something in me.
686
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,650
Plus,
687
00:34:47,650 --> 00:34:50,436
wouldn't you feel better
knowing that someone's
688
00:34:50,436 --> 00:34:53,047
keeping the lights on
and the projector running?
689
00:34:53,047 --> 00:34:57,747
Showing the Babylonium
the same love and respect
you have all these years?
690
00:35:03,753 --> 00:35:06,147
I don't know,
I think I messed up
with Kevin, Betty.
691
00:35:06,147 --> 00:35:07,583
I think I made things worse.
692
00:35:07,583 --> 00:35:09,542
No, Arch.
693
00:35:09,542 --> 00:35:12,371
You were just trying
to include him, make him
feel like a part of things.
694
00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:16,766
You protected him
as best as you could.
695
00:35:16,766 --> 00:35:20,857
Well, isn't this
a sight to behold?
696
00:35:20,857 --> 00:35:23,425
My mother and father
wanted to invite
any and all students
697
00:35:23,425 --> 00:35:25,601
to this afternoon's taping
of Riverdale Grandstand.
698
00:35:25,601 --> 00:35:27,777
Why today's?
699
00:35:27,777 --> 00:35:30,824
Because it's our 50th episode,
and my parents wanna see
some fresh faces on screen.
700
00:35:32,173 --> 00:35:33,218
Toodle-oo.
701
00:35:37,178 --> 00:35:39,789
I can't believe
how screwed up
the world is.
702
00:35:39,789 --> 00:35:42,270
I know, the hypocrisy.
703
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:43,576
No matter what
we're going through,
704
00:35:43,576 --> 00:35:44,968
what our parents
are putting us through,
705
00:35:44,968 --> 00:35:47,536
as long as we show up
on Grandstand
706
00:35:47,536 --> 00:35:51,540
smiling and dancing
like trained seals,
everything's peachy keen.
707
00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:55,283
And all the grownups do
is to tell us how to think,
how we're supposed to act.
708
00:35:55,283 --> 00:35:56,850
How to dress, who to date.
709
00:35:56,850 --> 00:35:58,460
They're trying to control
every second of our lives,
710
00:35:58,460 --> 00:35:59,853
and there's not a thing
we can do about it.
711
00:36:03,030 --> 00:36:04,292
Maybe...
712
00:36:06,729 --> 00:36:08,340

Stop filming.
742
00:37:55,664 --> 00:37:56,796
Cut to commercial.
743
00:38:02,497 --> 00:38:04,543
You have any idea
744
00:38:04,543 --> 00:38:07,110
how much trouble
you could get
the station in?
745
00:38:07,110 --> 00:38:08,373
You're out of control.
746
00:38:08,373 --> 00:38:09,939
No, Mom.
747
00:38:09,939 --> 00:38:12,420
I am in complete control.
748
00:38:12,420 --> 00:38:14,640
I knew exactly
what I was doing and why.
749
00:38:16,816 --> 00:38:19,035
Wha...
750
00:38:19,035 --> 00:38:22,474
Now, Mother, may I please
be excused from future episodes
of Riverdale Grandstand?
751
00:38:27,130 --> 00:38:28,741
You are off the show!
752
00:38:30,482 --> 00:38:32,745
But you broke my heart, Betty.
753
00:38:43,059 --> 00:38:44,974
You rang,
Ms. Veronica?
754
00:38:46,367 --> 00:38:48,587
Yes, Smithers.
755
00:38:48,587 --> 00:38:51,111
I'd like you to send a telegram
to my parents.
756
00:38:53,374 --> 00:38:54,636
"Dear Mom and Dad."
757
00:38:55,115 --> 00:38:56,508
Stop.
758
00:38:56,508 --> 00:38:58,945
"I am now the new owner
of the Babylonium."
759
00:38:58,945 --> 00:39:00,250
Stop.
760
00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:02,122

a parking lot."
761
00:39:02,818 --> 00:39:03,689
Stop.
762
00:39:05,386 --> 00:39:07,388
"My best to Uncle Orson, stop."
763
00:39:15,788 --> 00:39:17,006
Hey, Kev.
764
00:39:17,006 --> 00:39:18,617
Clay.
765
00:39:18,617 --> 00:39:20,619

doing for lunch?

00:39:21,881 --> 00:39:23,491
Um...
767
00:39:23,491 --> 00:39:26,364
Sorry, Archie,
my basketball days are over.
768
00:39:26,364 --> 00:39:28,061
Yeah, I heard.
769
00:39:28,061 --> 00:39:29,932
I was actually
hoping to break bread
with you guys.
770
00:39:29,932 --> 00:39:33,719
Talk about things like music,
plays, movie stars.
771
00:39:37,026 --> 00:39:38,027
Why not?
772
00:39:39,594 --> 00:39:41,074
Yeah, sure.
773
00:39:41,074 --> 00:39:43,163
Oh, that's boss.
774
00:39:43,163 --> 00:39:44,773

Ms. Cooper,
786
00:40:28,948 --> 00:40:32,038
might I have a word with you
in my office?
787
00:40:33,648 --> 00:40:35,563
Your mother
called me last night.
788
00:40:35,563 --> 00:40:37,522
She's very concerned
789
00:40:37,522 --> 00:40:42,048
about you
and your erratic behavior.
790
00:40:42,048 --> 00:40:46,705
Yes, well, a teenage girl
with a mind and desires
of her own,
791
00:40:46,705 --> 00:40:48,881
it's all very concerning,
isn't it?
792
00:41:01,502 --> 00:41:02,721
You're so...
793
00:41:03,504 --> 00:41:05,593
tortured, Betty.
794
00:41:07,247 --> 00:41:09,162
What are we
going to do with you?
795
00:41:11,904 --> 00:41:17,431
With Dr. Werthers
shifting his glowering
attention from me to Betty,
796
00:41:17,431 --> 00:41:21,827
I was now able to continue
my budding comic career
on twin tracks,
797
00:41:21,827 --> 00:41:25,700
with the prospect of
Mr. Rayberry as my mentor
keeping me up and typing
798
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:27,876
late into the night.
799
00:41:43,762 --> 00:41:45,851
Evening, sir.
800
00:41:45,851 --> 00:41:47,635
Apologies for the
late delivery.
