"Jughead, do you think Betty will, uhm" Y/n paused looking at Jughead, the fact that they had to tell Betty what Dilton said and his exact statement, Archie was done for good. "What? Confront Archie? Yes and mostly yes" Jughead deadpanned.

"The Drive-in closing is just one more nail to the coffin of Riverdale" Jughead exclaimed as Y/n nodded along. "No, wait forget Riverdale, the coffin of the American Dream" Y/n as the looked at each other for minute to sync. "As the godfather of indie cinema, Quentin Tarantino likes to say" The twins said in unison as Kevin interrupted "Please god no more Quentin Tarantino references" He huffed making the twins glare at him "And are you two always in sync?" Veronica added making Y/n shrug and continued to drink her soda and Jughead went on about how he's pissed "Juggie take a break, there's nothing we could do because apparently the town owns the cinema but didn't chose to invest in it, so when an anonymous buyer made Mayor McCoy an offer she couldn't refuse-" Y/n was cut-off by Veronica slightly laughing.

"An anonymous buyer? What do they have to hide? No one cares" She shrugged "I do" The twins said in unison "God you two make it not obvious that you're twins" Kevin added as Y/n leaned back to her seat. "Also you guys should come to closing night" Jughead added suddenly making the group's excitement pop-up. "I'm thinking American Graffiti or is that too obvious?" He asked "I vote for anything starring Audrey Hepburn or Cate Blanchett" Veronica stated "Or the talented Mr. Ripley" Kevin whispered as the raven haired girl nodded along. "Betty your choices?" Kevin pointed at her snapping her out of her daze, the group's attention suddenly brought upon to her. "Maybe, Rebel Without a cause?" The blonde girl asked as Y/n rolled her eyes and smiled.
