00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,962
[Jughead] After Mr. Cooper
told Mrs. Cooper

2
00:00:04,045 --> 00:00:06,005
that Betty had been dancing in her window,

3
00:00:06,089 --> 00:00:10,260
in her skivvies,
for Archie's, uh, benefit,

4
00:00:10,927 --> 00:00:13,555
Mrs. Cooper phoned Hollywood, California,

5
00:00:13,638 --> 00:00:14,556
So no wonder...

6
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:18,351
to give Hermione Lodge
a good old-fashioned East Coast what for

7
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:21,771
since Veronica had supplied
the skivvies in question.

8
00:00:23,773 --> 00:00:26,151
Then Alice rang her good friend
Penelope Blossom

9
00:00:26,234 --> 00:00:29,195
for advice about what to do,
mother to mother.

10
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:32,115
Well, I can't say I'm surprised.

11
00:00:33,324 --> 00:00:34,409
By what, Mother?

12
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:39,998
Operator, can you put me
through to Stratford, 747?

13
00:00:40,957 --> 00:00:44,794
Alice Cooper needs help
saving her little hussy of a daughter.

Agnes. [chuckles] You won't believe...

15
00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:52,594
[Jughead] So by morning, everyone knew
some version of what had happened,

16
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:54,304
most of it untrue.

17
00:00:54,387 --> 00:00:57,265
And repercussions
were being felt far and near.

18
00:00:57,348 --> 00:01:00,935
-She's never gonna talk to me, is she?
-Your mother just needs to understand

19
00:01:01,019 --> 00:01:03,021
that you're a red-blooded
American young man,

20
00:01:03,104 --> 00:01:06,274
and that Betty, well,
she's a voluptuous, ripe peach of a girl.

21
00:01:07,942 --> 00:01:10,737
I just-- I'm so embarrassed, Uncle Frank.

22
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:13,740
Well, were you caught
with your pants down?

23
00:01:14,616 --> 00:01:17,452
Yes. Was what you were doing
a little raunchy?

24
00:01:18,161 --> 00:01:19,245
Well, maybe.

25
00:01:19,788 --> 00:01:23,249
But I'd be more worried if you weren't
showing an interest in that kitten.

26
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:25,418
But for now,
just keep up with your schoolwork,

27
00:01:25,502 --> 00:01:28,004
focus on the basketball team,
stay away from Betty.

28
00:01:28,797 --> 00:01:32,258
Take plenty of cold showers,
and we'll get you through this, Archie.

29
00:01:32,342 --> 00:01:33,843
-All right?
-Yeah.

30
00:01:35,178 --> 00:01:36,012
Good.

31
00:01:41,392 --> 00:01:44,187
[Alice] You cannot parade around naked
in front of boys.

32
00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:47,398
Okay, again, Archie and I were not naked.

33
00:01:47,482 --> 00:01:48,942
We were just...

34
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:50,985
having fun.

35
00:01:51,069 --> 00:01:54,489
We were in separate houses, Mom.
What did you think was gonna happen?

36
00:01:54,572 --> 00:01:56,699
With you, anything's possible.

37
00:01:57,283 --> 00:01:58,701
Which is why, starting today,

38
00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:02,163
you will be cutting a rug
on Riverdale Grandstand.

39
00:02:02,247 --> 00:02:03,706
Mom, no.

40
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:06,209
Mom, I don't wanna be
part of Dad's dance show.

41
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:09,796
Only nerds and squares
are on Dad's dance show.

42
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:12,006
All right, enough of the sass, young lady.

43
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:15,343
You will be dancing from 3 to 6
every afternoon after school.

44
00:02:15,426 --> 00:02:17,971
We will make sure
that you're nice and tuckered out

45
00:02:18,054 --> 00:02:20,223
so there's no more late-night shows

46
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:23,768
with your pinky out of jail
for oversexed young men like Archie.

47
00:02:23,852 --> 00:02:28,565
If I catch wind of you even saying hello
to that redheaded pervert, well...

48
00:02:29,941 --> 00:02:32,527
You don't wanna see me frosted,

[Werthers] Care to explain this?

82
00:04:42,657 --> 00:04:45,201
I have a part-time gig
writing comic books after school.

83
00:04:45,284 --> 00:04:47,954
The content, Mr. Jones,
is what we're concerned about.

84
00:04:48,037 --> 00:04:51,791
The violent, gruesome,
highly sexualized content,

85

all happening to students clearly
inspired by your peers here at Riverdale.

86

Aren't you ashamed to be associated
with such reprehensible dreck?

No, actually, I'm quite proud
to have my name on that cover.

88

And whose beeswax is it anyway
what I do with my time after school?

If we were to learn
that one of our students was involved

in the creation
and distribution of pornography,

91
00:05:16,107 --> 00:05:18,693
we would absolutely expel them.

This is a comic book, sir.
This isn't a porno mag.

Well, we don't see them
as so very different, Mr. Jones.

00:10:17,199 --> 00:10:20,036
Because I don't wanna be here,
and I don't wanna dance.

171
00:10:20,119 --> 00:10:21,245
You have to dance.

172
00:10:21,329 --> 00:10:23,414
It's bad for ratings
if the camera pans this way

173
00:10:23,497 --> 00:10:25,708
and catches the daughter
of our beloved host with the most

174
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:27,501
acting like a canceled stamp.

175
00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:29,879
What do you what me to do?
Everyone's paired up.

176
00:10:29,962 --> 00:10:32,340
That's not true. What about Dilton?

177
00:10:34,258 --> 00:10:37,261
He hasn't had a steady partner since
Ethel went to Sisters of Quiet Mercy.

178
00:10:37,345 --> 00:10:40,765
-Just don't maul him, for Pete's sake.
-Fine.

179
00:10:45,311 --> 00:10:46,479
[knock on door]

180
00:10:47,396 --> 00:10:48,981
Just checking in.

181
00:10:49,065 --> 00:10:51,776
-Don't stay up too late, now.
-Hey, Uncle Frank, um...

182
00:10:53,694 --> 00:10:56,781
What were you and Sheriff Keller
talking about at practice today?

183
00:10:56,864 --> 00:10:59,825
Oh, that he wants Kevin
to get more into sports.

184
00:10:59,909 --> 00:11:02,453
He thinks he could use
some better male role models,

185
00:11:02,536 --> 00:11:04,497
regular Joes like me and you.

186
00:11:06,665 --> 00:11:08,042
Is something wrong with Kevin?

187
00:11:11,420 --> 00:11:12,588
Well,

188
00:11:13,672 --> 00:11:18,511
sometimes boys get confused
on how they're supposed to act.

189
00:11:18,594 --> 00:11:21,722
But don't worry, Archie.
I promised Tom. You and me,

190
00:11:22,598 --> 00:11:24,225
we'll straighten Kevin out.

191
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,033
Hey, Kev.
Hey, what are you doing during lunch?

192
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:44,870
I thought maybe we could hang out,
shoot some baskets.

193
00:11:46,497 --> 00:11:47,540
Yeah, sure.

194
00:11:47,623 --> 00:11:48,999
Gee, that's swell.

195
00:11:49,083 --> 00:11:50,668
I'll see you in the gym.

196
00:11:50,751 --> 00:11:52,086
Catch you later, Clay.

197
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:09,687
Mr. Rayberry.

198
00:12:09,770 --> 00:12:12,356
I was wondering
if I could trade this check in for cash.

199
00:12:13,315 --> 00:12:14,567
I don't trust banks.

200
00:12:14,650 --> 00:12:16,277
[Bernie] Sure, Mr. Rayberry.

201
00:12:17,528 --> 00:12:18,696
Let me talk to Payroll.

202
00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:21,323
Thank you.

203
00:12:21,949 --> 00:12:24,076
-Again, I'm so sorry I--
-It's 12:30.

204
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:26,579
Shouldn't you be in school?

205
00:12:26,662 --> 00:12:29,331
-I might have dropped out.
-Why?

206
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:33,836
Well, the finks at the top said
that if I don't stop writing comic books

207
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,046
and corrupting America's youth,

208
00:12:36,130 --> 00:12:39,091
that I'll be expelled
for some cooked-up malarkey,

209
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:41,218
so I beat feet.

210
00:12:41,302 --> 00:12:42,344
Huh.

211
00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:44,305
Hope it's worth it.

212
00:12:47,850 --> 00:12:49,602
What time is your lunch break, anyway?

213
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:53,647
Any time, I guess.

214
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:02,907
Hey, Kev. You know, you and I have been
in the same grade since kindergarten.

215
00:13:05,701 --> 00:13:08,287
Why basketball? Why now?

216
00:13:08,370 --> 00:13:10,164
Uh, it was my dad's idea.

217
00:13:11,499 --> 00:13:14,376
I just think he wants me
to be a regular guy,

218
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:15,628
less of an off horse.

219
00:13:15,711 --> 00:13:17,755
I mean, what does that even mean?

220
00:13:18,797 --> 00:13:20,758
You know, a guy who likes sports,

221
00:13:20,841 --> 00:13:25,262
who, um,
does like what you did with Betty.

222
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:31,143
Who isn't interested in things
like poetry, and drama,

223
00:13:31,227 --> 00:13:33,854
and music, and movie stars, and--

224
00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:37,191
-I like those things.
-Well, yeah, but you're...

225
00:13:40,027 --> 00:13:43,322
What? What am I?

226
00:13:43,405 --> 00:13:45,282
You're normal, Archie. You're normal.

227
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,244
Kevin, so are you.

228
00:13:48,953 --> 00:13:51,914
Yeah, I wanna be, more than anything.

229
00:13:53,374 --> 00:13:55,543
I just wanna be like everybody else.

230
00:13:57,127 --> 00:13:58,295
[door opens]

231
00:13:58,921 --> 00:14:00,130
Ooh.

232
00:14:09,932 --> 00:14:13,310
Again, and for the rest of my life,
I would like to apologize.

233
00:14:13,394 --> 00:14:15,437
For stealing and reading my novel.

234
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:19,525
-For that, yeah. It was a chump move.
-Mm. Mm-hm.

235
00:14:19,608 --> 00:14:21,652
You had every right to bite my head off.

236
00:14:21,735 --> 00:14:22,570
I did.

237
00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:25,281
That said, I, um...

238
00:14:26,782 --> 00:14:29,743
I may have, uh, overreacted.

239
00:14:29,827 --> 00:14:33,330
No, I totally understand
why you were being protective

240
00:14:33,414 --> 00:14:35,958
over The Jupiter Journals,
Mr. Rayberry. I...

241
00:14:37,459 --> 00:14:39,086
I think it's a masterpiece.

242
00:14:39,169 --> 00:14:40,212
Huh.

243
00:14:41,463 --> 00:14:44,592
If I wrote that manuscript,
I think I could die a happy man.

244
00:14:44,675 --> 00:14:48,178
Well, before we start
planning your funeral,

245
00:14:48,262 --> 00:14:50,806
let's talk about
you dropping out of school.

246
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,767
You should go back.
Education is important.

247
00:14:54,852 --> 00:14:57,730
I just don't really see
why I have to choose

248
00:14:57,813 --> 00:15:00,399
between writing comic books
and getting an education.

249
00:15:00,482 --> 00:15:01,317
You shouldn't.

250
00:15:01,984 --> 00:15:04,194
And this, young sir,

251
00:15:04,278 --> 00:15:07,865
is what is known as a Gordian knot.

252
00:15:11,035 --> 00:15:13,495
So tell me everything you know
about this Werthers clown.

253
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:17,666
Who he is, where he comes from,
what he's about, what he believes.

Let's give a proud woof for Rogers here,

257

with Jenny Stevens last night,

258
00:15:29,511 --> 00:15:32,890
in the back of
his dad's Thunderbird no less.

259

rename our team the Horndogs.

which one of you fruitcakes is next?

you've gone all the way with a woman.

You and Midge, right?

266

That's none of your beeswax there,
Blossom.

267

268
00:16:00,209 --> 00:16:01,627
What about you, Keller?

269
00:16:02,252 --> 00:16:04,505
What about you, Julian?

270
00:16:05,756 --> 00:16:07,341
Pretty sure you're still a virgin.

271

Uh, keep dreaming.

274
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:16,392
Who's Twyla Twyst?

275
00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:20,562
A floozy who works out of
the Cozy Time Motel behind the school.

276
00:16:20,646 --> 00:16:22,648
Spend one night with her,

277
00:16:23,357 --> 00:16:26,068
heck, even one hour,
and you'll never be the same.

278
00:16:27,861 --> 00:16:29,530
What do you say, Keller?

279
00:16:30,739 --> 00:16:31,740
You up for it?

280
00:16:31,824 --> 00:16:34,368
-Put a lid on it, Julian. Kevin--
-[Kevin] Yeah.

281
00:16:34,451 --> 00:16:36,203
I'll do it. I'll go see her.

282
00:16:37,413 --> 00:16:40,624
Attaboy, Keller. That's the spirit.

283
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:42,334
Let me know when and where.

It's actually what I wanna
study in college, filmmaking.

288
00:16:57,057 --> 00:16:59,893
I know it sounds
nutty as a can of peanuts,

289
00:16:59,977 --> 00:17:04,314
but I dream of one day inspiring people
like my hero inspired me.

-Oscar Micheaux.
-Who's he?

291
00:17:06,233 --> 00:17:07,359
A Black director.

292
00:17:07,443 --> 00:17:10,446
He started at the same time
as D. W. Griffith and Mary Pickford.

293
00:17:10,529 --> 00:17:14,116
Well, if we're indulging
in pipe dreams today,

being in front of the cameras,

but I do love being near them.

296
00:17:21,498 --> 00:17:26,462
Well, maybe your destiny
is to run a studio one day,

297
00:17:26,545 --> 00:17:29,089
and then you can hire me
to direct my first movie.

298
00:17:30,591 --> 00:17:31,633

Um, you're looking at it.

00:17:41,477 --> 00:17:43,437
Seems like it's gonna be
another slow night.

303
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,817
Uh, slow is one thing,
but graveyard-like is another.

304
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:49,943
What gives?

305
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:53,447

out of our business.

Also, that new drive-in
that's just opened up, the Starlight,

with the experience of seeing a movie
in a palace like the Babylonium.

310
00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:11,882
People need to be reminded of that.

How about an ad in the Riverdale Register?

312
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:19,473

00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,848
That you, uh, like it when guys watch you?

341
00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:46,643
I don't know what you're talking about.

342
00:19:47,561 --> 00:19:50,230
Come on, fess up.
I mean, we've all heard the story.

343
00:19:52,482 --> 00:19:56,028
After we wrap here,
how about you and I go down to the river,

344
00:19:56,111 --> 00:19:59,615
you can put on
a little private show for me?

345
00:19:59,698 --> 00:20:00,574
Will you?

346
00:20:02,075 --> 00:20:03,744
Get your paws off me, you creep.

347
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:08,832
[Alice] Betty. Betty.

348
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:11,668
You cannot do that on live television.

349
00:20:12,669 --> 00:20:13,879
Attagirl.

350
00:20:18,425 --> 00:20:21,053
For the 100th time, it wasn't my fault.

351
00:20:21,136 --> 00:20:23,055
Troy got fresh with me. He grabbed my--

352
00:20:23,138 --> 00:20:26,934
If he did, it's because you have
created a fast reputation.

353
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:29,686
I barely touched him.

354
00:20:29,770 --> 00:20:31,730
What is the matter with you?

355
00:20:31,813 --> 00:20:33,607
You know what would solve this problem?

356
00:20:33,690 --> 00:20:35,525
If you let me off Riverdale Grandstand.

357
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:39,279
You know what? I'll have a little chat
with all of the young men on our show,

358
00:20:39,363 --> 00:20:41,907
and no one is going to dance with you.

359
00:20:42,866 --> 00:20:45,077
Wait. So, what am I gonna be doing then?

360
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,205
You can sit in the corner
and stew like a sourpuss for all I care.

361
00:20:50,749 --> 00:20:51,833
[knock on door]

362
00:20:53,335 --> 00:20:54,461
Hi, Mr. Rayberry.

363
00:20:55,170 --> 00:20:57,089
Oh, I'm sorry. Can I come in?

364
00:20:57,172 --> 00:20:59,800
Sure, as long as you don't swipe anything.

365
00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:03,428
Look, I've been thinking about it.
I don't wanna give up writing.

366
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:05,472
My high school diploma be damned.

367
00:21:05,555 --> 00:21:08,684
I agree. And you're right,
you shouldn't stop writing.

368
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:10,310
But you do need a front.

369
00:21:10,394 --> 00:21:11,603
-A cover.
-A front?

370
00:21:11,687 --> 00:21:14,564
I have friends in Hollywood
who were blacklisted

371
00:21:14,648 --> 00:21:20,529
when McCarthy was ringing the alarm
on the so-called communist threat,

372
00:21:20,612 --> 00:21:23,782
and, uh, they kept writing,
but under pseudonyms.

373
00:21:24,366 --> 00:21:26,034
You should do that. Hmm?

374
00:21:26,827 --> 00:21:28,829
Publish what you want
under a different name,

375
00:21:28,912 --> 00:21:30,664
and Werthers will be none the wiser.

376
00:21:30,747 --> 00:21:33,709
Yeah, but do you really think
that Werthers is gonna buy

377
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:35,711
that I just quit
writing comic books altogether?

378
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:37,796
It's so simplistic, no?

379
00:21:37,879 --> 00:21:39,298
Not if you muddy the waters.

380
00:21:39,381 --> 00:21:41,508
Like if you tell Werthers

381
00:21:41,591 --> 00:21:44,886
you're shifting your focus
off horror comic books

382
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:48,974
to, I don't know,
happy animal comic books.

383
00:21:50,225 --> 00:21:52,561
Yeah. Yeah, like Super Duck.

384
00:21:52,644 --> 00:21:53,979
Yeah, exactly.

385
00:21:54,646 --> 00:21:56,732
Tell Werthers you're writing Super Duck,

386
00:21:56,815 --> 00:21:59,609
uh, keep churning out the horror stories
under an alias,

387
00:21:59,693 --> 00:22:01,236
and problem solved, right?

388
00:22:03,780 --> 00:22:05,198
[exhales sharply]

389
00:22:09,328 --> 00:22:10,329
God, Archie.

390
00:22:11,038 --> 00:22:12,205
What am I gonna do?

391
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,499
What am I gonna do?

392
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:15,959
What am I gonna do? I...

393
00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:19,671
Listen.

394
00:22:20,547 --> 00:22:23,008
Just put yourself in her hands, Kevin.

395
00:22:23,091 --> 00:22:25,052
Let nature take its course.

396
00:22:25,135 --> 00:22:26,470
Is that how your first time went?

397
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:31,433
Kevin.

398
00:22:32,976 --> 00:22:34,436
I'm still a virgin too.

399
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:35,854
You are?

400
00:22:36,688 --> 00:22:37,981
Yeah.

401
00:22:41,234 --> 00:22:42,944
Well, doesn't that beat all.

402
00:22:44,112 --> 00:22:45,781
If I'm a virgin and you're a virgin,

403
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:47,908
why do I have to go to Twyla
and you don't?

404
00:22:47,991 --> 00:22:50,410
Why do I have to prove something
and you don't?

405
00:22:51,036 --> 00:22:53,121
It's funny how the world works, isn't it?

406
00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:10,430
We're so pleased
you've come to your senses, Mr. Jones.

407
00:23:10,514 --> 00:23:12,808
Just hold your horses.
We have some stipulations.

408
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:17,187
And what exactly is your interest in this,
Mr. Rayberry?

409
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:19,231
How do you even know Mr. Jones?

410
00:23:20,148 --> 00:23:23,235
Well, we are colleagues at Pep Comics.

411
00:23:23,318 --> 00:23:27,030
And I just most recently
started to mentor Jughead.

412
00:23:27,114 --> 00:23:29,741
How, uh, magnanimous of you.

413
00:23:30,826 --> 00:23:34,204
Jughead agrees to stop writing
horror comics, per this agreement.

414
00:23:34,287 --> 00:23:37,040
But I will continue
to write comics for Pep.

415
00:23:37,124 --> 00:23:39,543
Specifically Super Duck.

416
00:23:39,626 --> 00:23:42,212
It's wholesome, family-friendly fare.

417
00:23:42,295 --> 00:23:44,464
Unobjectionable, you might say.

418
00:23:44,965 --> 00:23:47,050
Well, although we appreciate

419
00:23:47,134 --> 00:23:50,720
Jughead's curbing the violent content
of his previous work--

420
00:23:50,804 --> 00:23:53,849
Okay, let's cut the bull, doc. Okay?

421
00:23:54,349 --> 00:23:58,145
What you were doing to my mentee
is unconstitutional.

422
00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:01,815
And if you continue to harass him,

423
00:24:01,898 --> 00:24:04,609
I am prepared to escalate this
as far as we need to go.

424
00:24:04,693 --> 00:24:07,904
Are you talking about the PTA,
Mr. Rayberry?

425
00:24:07,988 --> 00:24:09,990
Oh, I'm not talking about the PTA.

426
00:24:10,073 --> 00:24:13,660
I'm talking about a little organization
called the U.S. Supreme Court.

427
00:24:15,662 --> 00:24:19,416
So how does "Jones v. Board of Education"
sound to you?

428
00:24:19,499 --> 00:24:23,003
I'm curious if the justices would take
the same stance regarding comic books

429
00:24:23,086 --> 00:24:24,629
as you do, Mr. Werthers.

430
00:24:25,463 --> 00:24:29,301
Namely, that they are as problematic
as hardcore pornography?

431
00:24:29,384 --> 00:24:32,512
Gentlemen, let's not lose our heads.

432
00:24:32,596 --> 00:24:36,349
I'm sure none of us
wanna blow this thing out of proportion.

433
00:24:36,433 --> 00:24:37,767
And I'm not an expert,

434
00:24:37,851 --> 00:24:41,980
but it seems to me
that this Super Duck character is, uh...

435
00:24:42,063 --> 00:24:43,064
[chuckles]

436
00:24:43,815 --> 00:24:44,733
...quite harmless.

437
00:24:48,987 --> 00:24:50,947
Wouldn't you agree, Dr. Werthers?

438
00:24:52,908 --> 00:24:55,160
Yes. For the moment.

439
00:24:55,243 --> 00:24:56,286
Great.

440
00:24:56,369 --> 00:24:58,246
Well, this was just tops.

441
00:24:59,247 --> 00:25:00,790
So glad to be back.

Thank you.

456
00:26:02,644 --> 00:26:04,145

Say, uh, Betty.

460
00:26:16,283 --> 00:26:17,492
Can I ask you something?

461
00:26:18,868 --> 00:26:19,703
Yeah.

462
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,123
Um...

463
00:26:24,749 --> 00:26:27,335
When you and Kevin were dating...

464
00:26:28,712 --> 00:26:29,671
what--?

465
00:26:29,754 --> 00:26:31,339
How was he?

466
00:26:32,048 --> 00:26:34,426
-What do you mean?
-I don't know. Uh, well...

467
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,556
his dad's got it into his head
that Kevin's funny, you know?

468
00:26:39,639 --> 00:26:41,391
An off horse.

469
00:26:41,474 --> 00:26:43,101
A little girly, I guess?

470
00:26:48,106 --> 00:26:51,026
Archie, you don't expect me
to kiss and tell, do you?

471
00:26:51,109 --> 00:26:52,027
No.

472
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:53,528
No, of course not.

473
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:58,616
Anyway, hopefully after tonight,
Kevin will straighten out and fly right.

474
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:01,077
What do you mean? Why?
What's happening tonight?

475
00:27:02,287 --> 00:27:05,582
Nothing. [sighs]
God, I shouldn't have said anything.

476
00:27:05,665 --> 00:27:08,376
Archie, what do you mean?
Tell me what's happening tonight.

477
00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:15,800
Kevin, don't do it!

478
00:27:17,010 --> 00:27:18,178
[Kevin sniffling]

00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:21,639
Oh, God.

480
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:24,392
Am I too late? Did something bad happen?

481
00:27:25,602 --> 00:27:28,355
The only thing that happened in here
was a whole lot of nothing.

482
00:27:29,814 --> 00:27:32,525
We were having a little dance party,

483
00:27:32,609 --> 00:27:35,070
I let down my hair a little,

484
00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:38,990
then he started bawling like a baby,
saying, "I can't do it."

485
00:27:39,991 --> 00:27:41,451
[Twyla chuckles]

486
00:27:43,995 --> 00:27:46,373
But tonight might not be a total bust.

Come here, sugar.

488
00:27:47,957 --> 00:27:50,293
You're a hunk and a half. Come to Twyla.

489
00:27:50,377 --> 00:27:52,379
I'm just here for my friend.

490
00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:56,800
Oh, he's your friend, is he?

491
00:27:57,717 --> 00:27:58,802
That makes sense.

492
00:27:59,552 --> 00:28:00,637
Twyla knows the score.

493
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,722
She's been around the block
more than once.

494
00:28:03,556 --> 00:28:04,391
Take him.

495
00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:06,393
He's all yours.

496
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,187
[Archie] Come on, Kev. Let's split.

497
00:28:12,857 --> 00:28:14,359
[Kevin] Why'd you come get me, Archie?

498
00:28:15,443 --> 00:28:16,778
I ran into Betty at Pop's.

499
00:28:18,113 --> 00:28:20,782
I told her what was going on
and she blew a gasket.

500
00:28:20,865 --> 00:28:22,075
She said I had to...

501
00:28:22,784 --> 00:28:26,329
come and save you from doing something
that might scar you for life.

502
00:28:26,413 --> 00:28:28,248
Boy, was she frosted.

503
00:28:28,331 --> 00:28:30,417
What am I gonna say to the guys, Archie?

504
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:32,877
When they find out what happened,
what didn't happen,

505
00:28:32,961 --> 00:28:34,587
it'll be the end of me.

506
00:28:34,671 --> 00:28:36,965
I'm never gonna be a normal fella.

507
00:28:37,048 --> 00:28:38,550
Hey, what about this?

508
00:28:38,633 --> 00:28:41,553
We're gonna tell them
that you made it with Twyla.

509
00:28:41,636 --> 00:28:43,722
That you went all the way.
I'll back you up.

510
00:28:43,805 --> 00:28:45,765
And I'll give you some things to say.

511
00:28:46,266 --> 00:28:47,392
Things that I've...

512
00:28:48,393 --> 00:28:50,520
read in magazines
or heard my Uncle Frank say.

513
00:28:53,106 --> 00:28:54,399
Don't worry, Kevin.

514
00:28:55,775 --> 00:28:57,986
We're gonna get you on the stick
and sell it.

515
00:29:01,573 --> 00:29:02,407
Okay.

516
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:06,286
[dramatic music playing]

517
00:29:06,369 --> 00:29:08,246
No matter who you are,

518
00:29:08,329 --> 00:29:09,873
hot-rodder or cheerleader,

519
00:29:09,956 --> 00:29:11,249
bookworm or jock,

520
00:29:11,332 --> 00:29:13,001
square or beatnik,

521
00:29:13,084 --> 00:29:16,045
deep down, we all yearn
for the same things.

522
00:29:16,129 --> 00:29:19,090
Adventure, romance, excitement.

523
00:29:19,632 --> 00:29:22,427
Well, what if I told you
that for just 49 cents,

524
00:29:22,510 --> 00:29:24,888
you could have all that and more?

525
00:29:24,971 --> 00:29:27,932
Movies have the power
to transport us all over the world,

526
00:29:28,016 --> 00:29:31,853
but only if you see them in a theater
like the Babylonium.

527
00:29:32,979 --> 00:29:36,524
They're magical, special places
where it even feels good to cry.

528
00:29:36,608 --> 00:29:41,029
It's a scientific fact:
movies are better in movie theaters.

529
00:29:41,112 --> 00:29:42,405
Come to the Babylonium

530
00:29:42,489 --> 00:29:44,699
to laugh, to cry,

531
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:48,745
to sit in the dark and experience
something powerful together,

532
00:29:48,828 --> 00:29:51,581
and fall in love with the movies again

533
00:29:51,664 --> 00:29:52,999
for the first time.

534
00:30:04,052 --> 00:30:05,261
Well, Mr. Lemley?

535
00:30:06,012 --> 00:30:08,223
What did you think of the commercial?

536
00:30:08,306 --> 00:30:09,390
Perfection.

537
00:30:09,974 --> 00:30:13,061
So why don't you buy a few choice spots

538
00:30:13,144 --> 00:30:15,688
and see if it gets word of mouth going?

539
00:30:15,772 --> 00:30:19,150
Veronica, I've been negotiating
the sale of the Babylonium

540
00:30:19,234 --> 00:30:21,444
to an interested party
for the last few months.

541
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,531
The official offer finally came through.

542
00:30:25,615 --> 00:30:26,866
Who's buying it?

543
00:30:28,701 --> 00:30:31,037
Well, it's your parents.

544
00:30:32,247 --> 00:30:33,414
That's how I know them.

545
00:30:33,498 --> 00:30:34,582
My parents?

546
00:30:35,250 --> 00:30:36,334
[Veronica scoffs]

547
00:30:38,169 --> 00:30:41,172
They're not even
in the movie theater business.

548
00:30:42,298 --> 00:30:44,300
They don't even appreciate movies.

549
00:30:44,384 --> 00:30:46,052
Well, I assumed you knew.

550
00:30:47,095 --> 00:30:51,808
It's my understanding they're gonna
turn the Babylonium into a parking lot.

551
00:30:56,020 --> 00:30:59,482
Mr. Rayberry,
that Supreme Court bit was inspired.

552
00:30:59,566 --> 00:31:01,734
You had Dr. Werthers quaking in his boots,

553
00:31:01,818 --> 00:31:05,321
and Principal Featherhead's face
was priceless.

554
00:31:05,405 --> 00:31:07,532
Straw men fall easily.

555
00:31:07,615 --> 00:31:10,827
But I'm glad, though,
that you're going back to school,

556
00:31:10,910 --> 00:31:13,496
and that you get
to keep writing comic books.

557
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:15,832
Mm. I wanted to talk to you about that.

558
00:31:15,915 --> 00:31:17,917
What if you were to really be my mentor?

559
00:31:19,586 --> 00:31:20,420
I'm open.

560
00:31:22,171 --> 00:31:26,175
Let me finish this milkshake
before we sign any adoption papers, huh?

561
00:31:26,259 --> 00:31:28,469
Right-o. Yeah. Yeah, of course.

562
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:34,976
Look, I did wanna tell you, though,
that I've decided to re-read my novel.

563
00:31:36,853 --> 00:31:38,021
I think it's time.

564
00:31:56,581 --> 00:31:58,750
An Edward Hopper original.

565
00:32:01,169 --> 00:32:02,920
Bet you're worth a pretty penny.

566
00:32:07,216 --> 00:32:08,468
Dad?

567
00:32:09,636 --> 00:32:11,346
You had quite an eventful evening.

568
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:16,100
I know that you went and saw Twyla.

569
00:32:17,810 --> 00:32:18,728
How?

570
00:32:19,312 --> 00:32:20,521
Did Julian tell you?

571
00:32:21,022 --> 00:32:24,943
Only because I asked for him
to suggest it to you in the first place.

572
00:32:26,736 --> 00:32:27,946
[chuckles]

573
00:32:28,029 --> 00:32:31,741
I thought maybe if the idea
came from one of your classmates,

574
00:32:31,824 --> 00:32:34,160
you might be more inclined to do it.

575
00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:43,211
-Well--
-I spoke to Twyla.

576
00:32:44,712 --> 00:32:47,799
Right after Archie came and rescued you.

577
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:51,302
She told me what happened.

578
00:32:51,928 --> 00:32:53,805
That you couldn't or wouldn't.

579
00:32:56,474 --> 00:32:57,850
That you started to cry.

580
00:33:28,756 --> 00:33:31,134
I don't know
exactly what happened last night,

581
00:33:31,217 --> 00:33:32,844
but Tom just called,

582
00:33:32,927 --> 00:33:35,471
and he told me that Kevin
will no longer be on the basketball team.

583
00:33:38,725 --> 00:33:40,059
Poor Tom.

584
00:33:40,143 --> 00:33:43,021
I feel for him, having a son who's bent.

585
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,523
Such a shame.

586
00:33:49,694 --> 00:33:51,279
What about your breakfast?

587
00:33:51,362 --> 00:33:52,864
Lost my appetite.

588
00:33:59,537 --> 00:34:00,580
Hmm.

589
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,129
I've been mulling over our conversation
from yesterday, Mr. Lemley,

590
00:34:08,212 --> 00:34:10,840
and I'd like to buy the Babylonium.

591
00:34:12,675 --> 00:34:13,926
More specifically,

592
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:17,722
I'd like to trade this painting
from my personal collection

593
00:34:17,805 --> 00:34:19,015
for your theater.

594
00:34:19,098 --> 00:34:20,266
I've spoken to Crestby's,

595
00:34:20,349 --> 00:34:23,102
and I think you'll find that,
on the open market,

596
00:34:23,186 --> 00:34:27,565
an original Hopper is worth much more
than what my parents are offering you.

597
00:34:29,442 --> 00:34:32,528
-I'm deep in negotiations with your folks.
-I know.

598
00:34:32,612 --> 00:34:33,696
But...

599
00:34:35,114 --> 00:34:38,076
our commercial wasn't false advertising.

600
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:41,954
Going to the movies is special.

601
00:34:43,498 --> 00:34:45,958
Working here at the Babylonium,
even briefly,

602
00:34:46,042 --> 00:34:48,252
has rekindled something in me.

603
00:34:49,378 --> 00:34:51,923
Plus, wouldn't you feel better

604
00:34:52,006 --> 00:34:56,052
knowing that someone's keeping
the lights on and the projector running?

605
00:34:56,135 --> 00:35:00,765
Showing the Babylonium the same love
and respect that you have all these years?

606
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:09,440
I don't know.
I think I messed up with Kevin, Betty.

607
00:35:09,524 --> 00:35:11,859
-I think I made things worse.
-No, Arch.

608
00:35:11,943 --> 00:35:16,155
You were trying to include him,
make him feel like a part of things.

609
00:35:16,906 --> 00:35:19,158
You protected him as best as you could.

610
00:35:20,326 --> 00:35:23,412
Well, isn't this a sight to behold?

611
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,666
My mother and father
wanted to invite any and all students

612
00:35:26,749 --> 00:35:29,043
to this afternoon's taping
of Riverdale Grandstand.

613
00:35:29,127 --> 00:35:31,212
-Why today's?
-[Cheryl] Because it's our 50th episode

614
00:35:31,295 --> 00:35:34,382
and my parents wanna see
some fresh faces on screen.

615
00:35:35,091 --> 00:35:36,300
Toodle-loo.

616
00:35:40,513 --> 00:35:42,515
I can't believe
how screwed up the world is.

617
00:35:42,598 --> 00:35:43,850
I know.

618
00:35:43,933 --> 00:35:45,351
The hypocrisy.

619
00:35:45,434 --> 00:35:48,855
No matter what we're going through,
what our parents are putting us through,

620
00:35:48,938 --> 00:35:53,359
as long as we show up on Grandstand
smiling and dancing like trained seals,

621
00:35:53,442 --> 00:35:55,069
everything is peachy keen.

622
00:35:55,153 --> 00:35:58,156
And all the grownups do
is tell us what to think, how to act.

623
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,866
How to dress, who to date.

624
00:35:59,949 --> 00:36:03,661
They're trying to control our lives,
and there's not a thing we can do.

625
00:36:06,414 --> 00:36:07,248
[Betty] Maybe.

626
