At Andrews Construction

Fred says to Hermione "Can I get you anything?"

balancing my books."

JUGHEAD's voiceover
It's been a week since the discovery of Jason Blossom's body.But his death is not the first,nor would it be the last casualty that the town of Riverdale would suffer.The Twilight Drive-In where I work,my home away from home,a piece of town history,is closing for good,just when we needed a place to escape to the most.With Sheriff Keller
knocking on every door and neighbor suspecting neighbor,Riverdale,every day that passes,is becoming more like Salem during the witch trials.
And meanwhile,the girl next door, our friendly neighbourhood Hitchcock blonde,Betty Cooper,was wrestling with the knowledge that her best friend, Archie Andrews,was caught up in a forbidden romance.
BETTY's voiceover
Dear Diary,Sheriff Keller doesn't know what I know,
that Riverdale High's music teacher,Geraldine Grundy,was at Sweetwater River the morning Jason Blossom went missing,and that since Archie was also there,they could have been there together.
At Blossom Maple Farms
Geraldine playing her cello and Fred says SOFTLY to Archie
Fred says to Archie "She is incredible."
Archie says to Fred "She's the best."
Fred and Archie walks up towards Geraldine together
Fred says to Geraldine "I'm usually more of a classic rock kind of guy,but that was beautiful.Truly."
Archie says to Geraldine "Congratulations,Ms. Grundy."
Archie gives Geraldine flowers
Geraldine says to Archie and Fred "Thank you,both of you for coming." Fred says to Geraldine "No,you kidding? Archie,he wouldn't miss it.I had to beg him to let me come." Archie says to Geraldine "Great.I'll see you at school,Ms. Grundy."
Archie says to Fred "Let's go,Dad."
Fred says to Geraldine "Well,I was thinking that,you know,if you're gonna be alone tonight,that we could take you out to dinner." Geraldine says to Fred "Oh. No,I...No,I couldn't impose."
Fred CHUCKLES
Fred says to Geraldine "After everything you've done for my son,I...You know,with his music,it's the least I can do.I insist."
In Pops
JUGHEAD says to Betty,Kevin and Veronica "The Drive-In closing is just one more nail in the coffin that is Riverdale...No,forget Riverdale,in the coffin of the American dream."
Jughead STAMMERING
Jughead says to Betty,Kevin and Veronica "As the
godfather of indie cinema,Quentin Tarantino,likes to say..." Kevin says to Jughead "Please,God,no more Quentin Tarantino references."
Jughead says to Kevin,Betty and Veronica "What? I'm pissed.And not just about losing my job.The Twilight Drive-In should mean something to us. People should be trying to save it."
Veronica says to Jughead "In this age of Netflix and VOD,do people really want to watch a movie in a car? I mean,who even goes there?"
Kevin says to Veronica "People who want to buy crack."
Jughead says to Kevin,Veronica and Betty "And cinephiles,and car enthusiasts."
Jughead says to Betty "Right,Bets?"
Betty says to Jughead "Totally."
JUGHEAD says to Betty,Veronica and Kevin "Anyway, it's closing because the town owns it,but didn't invest in it.So when an anonymous buyer
made Mayor McCoy an offer,she couldn't refuse..."
Veronica says to Jughead "Anonymous buyer?
What do they have to hide? No one cares."
Jughead says to Veronica "I do!"
Jughead says to Betty,Veronica and Kevin "Also,you guys should all come to closing night.I'm thinking
American Graffiti...Or is that too obvious?"
Veronica says to Jughead "I vote for anything
starring Audrey Hepburn.Or Cate Blanchett."
Kevin says to Veronica "Or The Talented Mr. Ripley." Kevin says to Betty "Betty,your choices?"
Veronica says to Betty "Everything okay,B?"
Betty says to Veronica "Yeah,I'm just thinking. Um...
Maybe Rebel Without a Cause?"
Jughead and Veronica SNICKER
Hermione walks over to Veronica,Kevin, Betty and Jughead's table
HERMIONE says to Jughead,Betty,Kevin and Veronica "Here you go, kids."
Veronica says to Hermione "Thanks,Mom."
Cheryl says to Ginger and Tina "If I would have known Mama Lodge was working as a waitress at Pop's,I never would have given Veronica a spot on the Vixens.It's off-brand,and sends a false message about acceptance." Tina says to Cheryl "After her TMZ-style take-down of Chuck,all the Vixens kind
of like Veronica now." Cheryl says to Tina "Do they?"
Cheryl says to Hermione "Be sure to put all that cash in the register.You are a Lodge,after all,and Lodges are known to have sticky fingers."
Veronica walks over to Hermione and where Cheryl and her sidekicks are sitting
Veronica says to Cheryl "Cheryl..."
Hermione says to Veronica "Honey,I got this."
Hermione says to Cheryl "Cheryl,I went to school with your mother.She didn't know the difference between having money and having class,either."

Kevin says to Jughead "What was it like before she got here? I honestly cannot remember."
Outside of Pops
Archie says to Betty "It's not what you're thinking."
Betty says to Archie "So,it's platonic?"
Archie says to Betty "Okay,well,maybe it's a little like
what you're thinking..." Betty says to Archie "Archie.
Are you and Ms. Grundy,like,together,like, romantically?" Veronica says to Archie "Oh,my God.
You and your music teacher are having an affair?"
Archie says to Betty and Veronica "We are...... together.Look,I know that sounds bad,but..."
VERONICA says to Veronica "Bad? It sounds scandalous." Betty says to Archie "It sounds like jail time to me.Illegal!" Archie says to Betty "Betty,don't go there." Betty says to Archie "Oh,I'm already there." Archie says to Veronica "Ronnie,a little help here?"
Veronica STUTTERING
Veronica says to Archie "I mean,technically,Betty's right.And ethically...Well,what is Grundy to you, anyway,your girlfriend?"
Veronica SIGHS
Veronica says to Archie "Your booty tutor?"
Archie says to Betty and Veronica "I don't know,I don't know what to call her."
Betty says to Archie "You said you were at the river alone.You lied to Sheriff Keller,to all of us.Why? To protect her?" Archie says to Betty "She believed in me when no one else did."
Veronica says to Archie "Okay,we get it."
Archie says to Betty "Betty,say something,please."
Alice CAR HONKS
