Archie says to Val "Yeah,but when I'm on the football field,the stands can be packed.Packed. And it doesn't affect my game at all."
Val say to Archie "Singing makes you vulnerable
in a way that football doesn't."
Archie says to Val "Or maybe what I was missing
out there onstage was my team.Or at least a partner.What if we sang I Got You?"
Val says to Archie "Archie,I'm a Pussycat.We're headlining the Variety Show."

have a slot if you want it."
Archie says to Veronica "Veronica,thank you,but
you saw what happened."
