Archie says to Jughead "Well, Jug, you ever think we'd have a night before the first day of school again?
Jughead says to Archie "No. Not in a million years. I'm cramming to finish this book my students were assigned for summer reading. It's Of Mice and Men. Feel like I'm living in The Twilight Zone."
Archie chuckles
Archie says to Jughead "Well, I'm gonna hit the sack. Big day tomorrow."
Jughead says to Archie "On behalf of Lennie, George and myself, good night, sweet prince."
Jughead is drinking

Toni walks out of the bedroom

School bell ringing
Archie,Betty and Jughead walking in the school hallway
In the classroom
Veronica says to the class "I thought economics class was just for seniors."
Boy puts his hand up
Boy 1 says to Veronica "Um...Some of us are auditing."
Veronica says to the Boy "Hmm."
Veronica says to the class "Well, as long as you're taking it seriously."
Veronica puts her glasses on
In the classroom
Archie says to the class "We will absolutely talk about my experiences overseas, but the RROTC's focus is on physical fitness and military history. So I'll ask again, what year was the United States Army founded?"
In Shop Class
Betty says to the class "So this semester our main project in shop class will be taking apart this classic car,a 1954 Crestline and putting it back together. Any questions before we get started?"
Girl 1 says to Betty "Wasn't your dad,like,the Black Hood?"
Betty says to the girl "He was."
Betty says to the class "As a matter of fact, he taught me everything I know about cars,so...
Any relevant questions?"
In the classroom
Jughead says to the class "Who did the summer reading? Who can tell me what it was?"
Jughead puts the book on his desk
Jughead says to himself "This is gonna be great."
In Hiram's office
Hiram says to Reggie "By all rights, that school should be shut down. Instead, I'm told there are over 100 students enrolled."
Reggie says to Hiram "What do you care, Mr. Lodge? You got what you wanted. Riverdale doesn't even exist since you unincorporated it."
Hiram says to Reggie "Reggie, a high school offers hope. And people are sentimental about Riverdale High for reasons that elude me.
And as long as it remains open, there's a slight chance the town will grow back around it. Like a weed."
Reggie says to himself "Hm."
Hiram says to Reggie "And that is bad for our business."
Reggie says to Hiram "I hear you. So what are you thinking, boss?"
Reggie is eating a big sandwich
Hiram is eating Doritos
In the Video store
Veronica says to Smithers "As you can see, this used to be a video store back in the day. But with a little TLC, it'll be the perfect spot for my new jewelry store. I cut my teeth in the Diamond District as you know, Smithers. I think I could bring a little Manhattan magic to this town formerly known as Riverdale in the form of exquisitely high end bling."
Smithers says to Veronica "And will Mr. Gekko, be involved in this business enterprise?"
Veronica says to Smithers "I haven't decided yet.
He knows I'm in Riverdale, teaching temporarily. But the permanence of opening a shop, might send him spiraling."
In the staff room
Betty is pouring herself a cup of coffee
Archie says to Betty "Well, Miss Cooper,how was the first day?"
Betty says to Archie "Well, they're terrified of me.
Being that I'm the daughter of the Black Hood and all."
Archie says to Betty "Ooh.That sucks."
Betty says to Archie "Yeah. On top of which I can't stop thinking about Polly."
Archie says to Betty "Didn't your mom say she does this sometimes? Takes off for a couple days then reappears."
Betty says to Archie "Yeah. That's why I'm trying not to panic."
Dramatic music playing
Archie says to Betty "Well, in the meantime, maybe I can distract you."
Archie touches Betty's hand
Archie says to Betty "Tonight? My new roommate's working at Pop's."
Betty says to Archie "It's too risky. And it's not like we can go to my house,with my mom and the twins."
Archie says to Betty "We're in our 20s. It's supposed to be easier to find places to hookup not harder."
Betty says to Archie "Wait. I actually think I have a crazy idea."
In Pop's
Tabitha says to Jughead "It is dead as a doornail in here, Jones. If you wanna write, by all means.
At least until we get some customers."
Jughead says to Tabitha "You know, I was actually kind of hoping I could interview you for my book."
Tabitha says to Jughead "Me? Why,what's your book?"
Jughead says to Tabitha "It's about Riverdale.
People who live here. Portrait of a small town type of thing."
Tabitha says to Jughead "Okay. What do you wanna know?"
Jughead says to Tabitha "You left a six -figure-a-year job in Chicago to come run Pop's? You must have had every CEO offer that you wanted."
Tabitha says to Jughead "Or I could become the CEO of my family business. And take everything I learned at my fancy schools and invest it in something meaningful. I am not playing around with Pop's. I put in that gas pump out front to attract truckers driving the night shift. I have ideas for merchandising, franchising...
