Riverdale (2017) s07e02 Episode Script

Chapter One Hundred and Nineteen: Skip, Hop and Thump!

1
[JUGHEAD] The popularity
and cultural impact
of comic books in our
time cannot be overstated.
Superheroes were out, horror
and crime comics were in,
and me and my friends were obsessed.
What the hell?
You've got to be kidding me.
Guys, you're not gonna believe this.
Do you remember when I
submitted my story to Pep Comics
and I received that asinine
form rejection letter?
Well, they stole my
story, and published it.
Stole it? You mean word for word?
Well, not word for word,
but it's definitely my story.
Well, I should sue 'em, right?
Can you prove it was your story?
Maybe start by giving them a call.
Oh, shucks to that.
Pep Comics is right here in town.
I'm gonna go pay 'em a visit.
Who's with me?
[XYLOPHONE CHIMES]
Good morning, Riverdalians.
Let's begin with the
most exciting news ever,
which is that the
entertainment committee,
chaired by yours truly, is hosting
its first dance of the year.
Our annual sock hop taking
place this Friday night.
As is customary, no shoes will
be allowed on the gym floor.
So, boys, before you
ask your best girls out,
make sure that your socks match
and that they don't have any holes.
In short, the whole event is sure to be
the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas.
Tickets will be on sale all week,
and you'll want to snap them
up early as I can now confirm
that Kevin and the
Crooners will be headlining.
See you all there.
[BELL RINGS]
Hey, Veronica?
I was wondering if you wanted
to go to the sock hop with me.
That depends.
Can you cut a rug?
Are you a good dancer?
Oh, yeah, of course I am.
Well, I'm sure I believe you,
but I'm still going to need
a demonstration, daddy-o.
Toni Topaz. Here to buy your
ticket to the sock hop, I hope.
That depends.
Are you asking me out?
What? Why, of course not.
No, I'm I am hosting the dance.
I couldn't possibly
be saddled with a date.
Not to mention that
you're And I'm also
- Um, and girls don't
- Don't what?
Dance with other girls?
Calm down, Peggy Sue.
No, I'm not buying a ticket.
My pal Fangs here is a
singer, and we were hoping
that you could give him a shot
at playing at the sock hop.
You should add him to the lineup.
And the Serpents will
be there in full force.
Hmm, and start a rumble
as greasers are wont to do?
No, thank you.
Kevin and the Crooners will be
performing, as previously announced.
Well, we offered.
Good luck selling tickets with
that B-grade barbershop quartet.
Later, Midge.
[PHONE RINGING]
[DOOR OPENS]
Okay, Bernie, who's the kid?
He's a writer, Al. Says we
stole one of his stories.
All right, come on in.
Tell me your tale of woe.
So you're accusing me of what, exactly?
Well, I submitted a story,
then you rejected it.
And then, surprise, surprise,
you ran a story that
was exactly like it.
Now, you might call that
a coincidence, but I
call it theft.
Well, I hate to burst your bubble, kid,
but, uh, I got news for you.
There are no original ideas.
I mean, I get hundreds
of submissions every week.
It's all the same slop.
But the timing, the details.
Oh, you want proof?
These filing cabinets
here, they're filled
with every single story germ I ever had.
I got a backlog just
waiting to be farmed out
to any hack who can string
together a semi-coherent sentence.
Waiting?
Like you're looking for writers?
- Always.
- Well, I'm a writer.
If I wanted to be considered,
what would I have to do?
Well, first off, drop
the persecution complex.
Listen, take this log line.
Turn it into a seven-page
story by tomorrow morning.
And if it doesn't make me
want to puke, we'll talk.
[ARCHIE] Thanks for helping
me out of this jam, Betty.
I panicked, told
Veronica that I can dance
when the truth is, I got two left feet.
You remember when I broke Midge's
big toe doing the bunny hop.
[CHUCKLES] I do. But don't worry.
We will start with
something simple and classic.
The twist.
[RECORD SCRATCHING]
[INSTRUMENTAL POP MUSIC PLAYING]
Okay, so start just by
moving your hips from
side to side like this.
Try it.
- Like this?
- No, less of shoulders, more hips.
Okay.
Like this? I can't
No. Maybe you just need
to focus on slow dancing.
Everyone knows how to slow dance.
["BE MINE" PLAYING]
Okay.
One hand goes like this.
The other hand, here.
And then you just sway.
For the rest of my life ♪
[BETTY CHUCKLES]
That's it?
- Yeah, it's pretty simple, right?
- I can put aside my foolish pride ♪
I'm begging you, please ♪
Be mine ♪
[VOCALIZING]
Be mine ♪
For the rest of my life ♪
[DOOR OPENS]
[GASPS] And what
exactly is going on here?
Betty was just showing me
- some moves, Mrs. Cooper.
- I'm giving Archie a dance lesson.
- [MUSIC STOPS]
- He's asking out the new girl.
She's a celebrity from Hollywood.
Goodbye, Archie.
Bye, Betty.
Goodbye, Mrs. Cooper.
Oh, thank your sweet mother for
agreeing to chaperone with me.
Give me your expert opinion,
Ethel. I can take it.
I'm so jealous of you, Jughead.
It's my life's goal to
draw a story for Pep Comics.
They They work with some
of the best artists in the biz.
Oh, come on. You're as good
as any of those clowns, Ethel.
I'll tell you what. If
I can finish these pages
and really make them sing,
then I'll put your name forward
to Mr. Fieldstone tomorrow.
He's our editor-in-chief.
Really?
Jughead, that would
That would be a dream.
- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
- [CHUCKLES] Well
Let's see what he says first.
["BABY LET'S MAKE SOME LOVE" PLAYING]
- [ENGINE WHIRRING] -
Yoo-hoo! Sorry to interrupt.
Just wanted to make sure that everyone
had their tickets to the sock hop.
Midge Klump? One of my precious Vixens
with a common greaser? Sacrilege!
You get out of that
car right this minute!
[MIDGE] Calm down! I'm coming.
[CHERYL] Go!
- [ENGINE WHIRRING]
- ["TEENAGE LOVE" PLAYING ON RADIO]
Is everything okay, Kev?
Yeah, sure.
Just a little
preoccupied, I guess.
Thinking about what songs you're
gonna sing at the sock hop?
Yeah. Yeah, and other things.
You know, you haven't officially
asked me to the sock hop yet.
Oh, uh, well, I'm performing.
So I just kind of assumed
you'd come to, you know,
cheer me on.
Right, yeah, of course.
That makes sense.
Um
What is it? Don't you like kissing me?
Of course. It's like I
said, I'm I'm performing
and I don't want to
risk catching a cold.
It's always something with you.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means we've been dating for months
and we're still not going steady.
You haven't even pinned me yet.
How am I supposed to pin you?
I don't even play a varsity sport
Doesn't need to be a varsity pin, Kev.
It can be any old pin.
Can be a ring, even.
Gosh, when did you
become such a sex maniac?
For your information,
the fact that I want
my supposed boyfriend
to kiss me once every blue moon
does not make me a sex maniac,
and I do not have cold germs or cooties,
and I will definitely not be
cheering you on at the sock hop.
Betty Betty.
[MR. FIELDSTONE] Well, it's
pretentious, clunky, too much dialogue.
But it'll do.
Bernie, get in here.
Wha
- Yes, Mr. Fieldstone.
- [MR. FIELDSTONE] We got a live one here.
Now, see who's available to
draw a seven-page zombie story
for immediate publication.
So, I'm hired?
A dollar a page. Take it or leave it.
Yeah, I'll take it. And, um, I know
an artist, an incredible artist.
Young, hungry, cheap,
loves monster movies.
A real fiend for gore.
Okay.
But I want those pages tomorrow.
Yeah, you'll have 'em.
And, um
Thank you for everything,
Mr. Fieldstone.
[PIANO PLAYING]
[PIANO PLAYING STOPS]
Sorry, um
I I didn't know the
music room was reserved.
It's not. I was just horsing around,
but you probably need it
to rehearse, I'm guessing.
Uh, my set for the sock hop, yeah.
You're Clay Walker, right?
I am. Just transferred this year.
And you're Kevin Keller.
Son of the sheriff,
dating the prettiest
girl at Riverdale High.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
I've done my research.
Uh, where did you transfer from?
All over. My dad's in
the Was in the military.
Cool. Cool.
Are you going to the sock hop?
I wouldn't have a date.
I don't know many people.
Unless, uh, you could think
of someone I should ask.
A lot of people go stag here.
It's nice to meet you.
Hey. Uh, so I did a little brushing up
and I'm ready for that demonstration.
How do you feel about slow dancing?
Nothing better.
But upon further reflection,
I have no doubt a Troy
Donahue type like you
can trip the light fantastic, Archie.
So does that mean
But, quite candidly,
I'm also entertaining other offers.
What? Oh
Wow, okay.
However, being my escort
demands more than mere dancing.
It also requires
scintillating conversation.
I need to know that you won't
be a bore at the sock hop.
So, why don't you clean yourself up
and come by the Pembrooke
at 6:00-ish tonight?
I'll be wanting to discuss
politics, art, current events.
Dazzle me with your wit.
Okay?
Dazzle you. Okay.
Well, I should motor.
[VERONICA] See you tonight.
Archiekins?
[CLEARS THROAT]
I'm rooting for you, stud.
[EXHALES]
So they just do whatever
you say, is that it?
Hmm?
Oh, you mean boys? [CHUCKLES]
Boys aren't too, too complicated.
I wish I had your confidence.
Why don't you?
What do you mean?
I mean, I'm only just getting
my sea legs here in Riverdale,
but I can already tell
you're a catch, Betty.
A total Marilyn.
You and Kevin the Crooner
are going steady, aren't you?
Um, not officially.
We may even be on the rocks.
That's a shame
for him.
Why don't you invite some
other boy to the sock hop?
Get Kevin all hot and bothered.
That's always fun, keeping
our beaus on their toes.
Surely there's some
He-Man at Riverdale High
you'd like to make time with.
Tickets. Get your
tickets to the sock hop.
Buy one, get one free.
You Dilton Doiley.
- Why haven't you bought a ticket to my sock hop yet?
- Uh
For that matter, why are some people
trying to return their tickets?
Um It might be
because of the Serpents.
What about the Serpents?
What are they planning?
They said they were going to
be waiting in the parking lot,
and they're gonna throw
rotten eggs at anyone
who tries going to the dance.
Barbarians.
And who, pray tell, is the
one making these threats.
Mostly that scary Toni girl.
Of course. It would be her.
Well, this means war.
Dismissed.
[ARCHIE] Mom?
[CHUCKLES]
Can you help?
[SIGHS] Hang on.
I might have something
that'll do the trick.
[MARY CHUCKLES]
Oh, that's more like it.
I think I'll have to
let it out a little bit,
but other than that, it fits perfectly.
It's a little old-fashioned, isn't it?
Well, it was your dad's,
but he'd want you to wear it,
especially to your first dance.
[CHUCKLES] Well, actually,
I need it tonight, Mom.
Yeah. Veronica asked me over.
You're taking her to the dance?
If I'm lucky.
She wants to give me a
test run, you could say?
I don't like the sound of that.
A bit haughty, isn't it?
It's not like that.
Veronica is from Los Angeles
and she's practically a movie star.
Standards are different out there.
- Aw, geez, Mom. [CHUCKLES]
- [MARY] I'm fine.
It's just, seeing you here in his suit,
it just brings back so many memories.
[SIGHS]
You know, your father and I
went to the sock hop together.
He was such a romantic
and he wrote me the sweetest poems.
I still have them somewhere.
Poems?
He knew how to make a girl swoon.
This one, I think.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
[ARCHIE] So, Veronica invited me
over to her place tonight, and
I need to impress her.
So don't laugh
but I wrote her a poem.
I just need someone to read it and just
tell me if it's crazy to give to her.
Okay. Hand it over, Walt Whitman.
Well, is it terrible?
No.
It's actually really sweet.
You have a poet's soul, Arch.
Who knew?
[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHERYL] So this is
where the Serpents dwell.
I always imagined it'd be something
more like a biker bar, but this
- This is
- The Dark Room is a coffeehouse
for bikers, beatniks and badasses.
Which begs the question, what
are you doing here, preppy?
Better question.
Why are you so hell-bent
on ruining my sock hop
the same way your slimy Serpent pal
tried to ruin my virtuous Vixen?
Okay, Cheryl. You want people
at your dance, I dig it.
So I'll pitch it again.
Let my boy Fangs blow
the roof off the gym
and we'll pack the place.
For the bazillionth time, I have
already booked Kevin and the Crooners.
Yeah, the Crooners are doneskis.
Look, Fangs is about to play.
So why don't you order
yourself a cappuccino,
take a load off and hear him play?
Maybe you'll change your mind
and you and I can get better acquainted.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
- Archie, you made it.
- Am I late?
Oh, not at all, lover boy.
We were just discussing
President Eisenhower's decision
to run for a second term.
And let me warn you, the
others are very divided.
[CHUCKLES]
- I'm sorry. Others?
- Come. Come on in.
We're having aperitifs in the parlor.
[BOYS CHATTERING]
[BETTY] Mom, can I ask
your advice about something?
Well, of course, honey. What is it?
I think I'm having weird
feelings about Archie.
Oh. What sort of feelings?
Like, stirrings?
When we were dancing, I
felt a flutter in my stomach.
Is it possible that this fluttering is
a reaction to feeling
underappreciated by Kevin?
I hadn't thought of it that way.
Which is why it's a good
thing that you came to me.
Holy hell, Ethel.
There is no way that Mr. Fieldstone
doesn't hire you after he sees these.
- You really think so?
- Yeah.
Even though I'm a girl?
[CHUCKLES] If he doesn't,
I'll eat my own crown.
So, uh, Jughead, the
sock hop's tomorrow night.
It is?
What if we went together?
Like, for kicks?
Yeah, yeah, just for kicks.
Might be fun.
Could have a decent
spread, cookies and whatnot.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Since when are boys
allowed in your room?
We're just studying, Mom.
Well, whatever you were doing,
you're lucky your father's
working nights at the factory this week.
I was actually just leaving.
I'll see you at school tomorrow.
Excuse me. Sorry.
So then I said, "Sorry, Mr. Sinatra,
- but I think Elvis sang it better."
- [ALL LAUGHING]
[BOY] Oh, no.
Archie, are you all right?
You've been quiet all night.
Yeah, I'm good.
I was just I was
just taking it all in.
- Soaking it up.
- Like the sponge that you are.
[MEN LAUGHING]
I see you're admiring the painting.
- It's a
- It's a Monet. Am I right?
Indeed. You have a
connoisseur's eyes, Julian.
I appreciate beautiful things.
Every summer, my family goes
on an art-buying tour in Europe.
Archie, what do you
think of the painting?
[SLURPS]
Um
It's beautiful and all, uh
I guess I just prefer an
artist like Norman Rockwell.
Then again, I'm not really an art
tour through Europe kind of guy.
- So
- That's obvious from what you're wearing, chump.
Where'd you get that suit?
Some thrift store?
[BOYS CHUCKLING]
It's my father's suit.
And you better shut your trap, Blossom.
Wasn't he buried in his suit?
Or did he have more than one?
He was buried in his uniform.
Well, I, for one, think you
look very striking, Archie.
And I like a bit of variety in my
men's attire, as well as in my men.
So, who's up for charades?
You know, Veronica, it has
been a real swell night,
but, uh I think I'm
just gonna blow out of here.
If I stay any longer, I might be
liable to spill someone's blue blood
all over your nice, expensive things.
[DOOR SLAMS]
Good morning, Mrs. Andrews.
As you may know, I'm Veronica Lodge.
Is Archie home, by any chance?
He's at the grocery store.
Shopping? This early?
Archie told me everything
that happened last night.
Well, that's actually why I'm here.
I feel terrible about it.
I didn't mean for things
to happen the way they did.
My Archie is not some Hollywood playboy.
He's a simple boy. So simple
that he's mad at Julian Blossom
and himself for what happened
at your little soiree,
when you and I both know
who the real villainess was.
[SCOFFS] I mean, what kind of person
auditions boys to go to a sock hop?
Well, when your parents
are actors [CHUCKLES]
Sorry. That's not an excuse.
Listen, if you hurt my boy,
you and I are going to
have some serious trouble,
Little Miss Femme Fatale.
- [ALICE] Thanks for stopping by, Kevin.
- [LIQUID POURING]
- High Point?
- Okay.
So, Betty tells me that the two of you
have had some troubles as of late.
Would you agree?
I feel awful, Mrs. Cooper.
It's like Betty wants
these things from me,
but I'm not sure if I
can give them to her.
It's perfectly normal
for girls Betty's age
to have certain [INHALES]
expectations of what their
boyfriends are willing to do.
May I make a suggestion?
I'm going to give you this.
You see, Betty just wants to be pinned.
She wants to feel appreciated.
And then all of those
feelings will settle.
But won't a pin mean
she'll expect more from me?
Oh, no. A pin takes off the pressure.
You see, it's a symbol
for what every girl craves.
They just They just want a fella
that's going to carry
their books home from school
or take them to the
movies Saturday night
or call them on the
telephone before supper.
Is that all?
A pin is a promise, Kevin.
Don't tell anyone, but
this is the actual pin
that Mr. Cooper gave
me back in high school.
See, this pin
somehow answered a desire
that we both were feeling,
and then things were fine and
pure from that point forward.
You're a good boy, Kevin.
And Betty is a good girl.
And I believe that this pin
will take care of everything.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
Tickets. Get your tickets
for tonight's sock hop.
- Hurry up!
- You, four eyes.
Get your tickets to the sock hop yet?
Uh no.
Well, pony up, poindexter,
because my pal Fangs
Fogarty is performing.
And trust me, you'll be
kicking yourself if you miss it.
I'll take one.
Five. I'll take five.
By the way, did you, uh, break
the bad news to Kevin yet?
No. But I will.
Can you dig it?
[BELL RINGS]
Putting aside the fact
that you were drawing
while Dr. Doiley was lecturing,
in and of itself a flagrant violation
of school etiquette.
Dr. Werthers and I are also
deeply concerned about
what you were drawing.
Where did the vision for
this come from, Ethel?
Your subconscious? A
nightmare? The movies?
They're for a story.
What kind of story?
A comic book.
That I'm on deadline to finish.
That's why I was drawing
in Dr. Doiley's class.
I'm I'm trying to
get a job at Pep Comics.
They're based here in town.
I'm sorry, Ethel, but
your budding career
as an illustrator of lurid comic books
doesn't remotely justify this behavior.
You have a week's
detention, starting today.
[ARCHIE] Veronica.
Archie. Hi.
Look, about last night
I'm sorry I rushed
out of there like that.
I, uh
I sincerely was going to rip
Julian Blossom's head off.
[CHUCKLES] Well, he
would have deserved it.
And I'm mortified about
what he said to you.
I truly had a good time
getting to know you better.
Well, um, in that case,
if you haven't made your decision yet,
I'm still keen on taking
you to the sock hop tonight.
I would love that, Archie,
but I've already made my selection.
And I'm not going with anyone.
- What? Why?
- [VERONICA SIGHS]
With so many excellent options,
it's simply impossible
for an it girl to choose.
Options like Julian Blossom?
[SCOFFS]
You know, I don't get you, Veronica.
I mean, what was last night's
dog-and-pony show all about then?
I mean, forget last
night. This entire week.
Making us Making me jump
through hoops like that?
It was a game, Archie.
The queen of the hive gets
all her worker bees abuzz
and then flies away before
Before anyone's stung too badly.
[BETTY] So, have you made your pick yet?
Here's a late-breaking
scoop for Hedda Hopper.
Socialite Veronica Lodge has
decided to go stag to the sock hop.
Well, what happened? What about Archie?
I'm in the midst of a
rude awakening, Betty.
Turns out I've been
careless and thoughtless
with a lot of the
boys at Riverdale High.
Archie most especially,
and most undeservingly.
Did you not like his poem?
What poem?
Archie wrote you a poem.
Did he not give it to you?
Not that I know of.
Not that I deserve, in any case.
Wait a minute. So who's Archie
going to the sock hop with?
No one, as far as I know.
I'll tell you one thing, though.
Whoever does end up going with Archie,
she is one lucky girl.
Hey, Betty, can I talk
to you for a second?
It's important.
Sure, let's talk.
Cheryl bumped me and the Crooners.
Fangs Fogarty's performing.
Apparently, he's God's
gift or something. [SCOFFS]
I heard. Kev, I'm sorry.
No, uh I'm sorry.
Betty, I'm really I'm really sorry.
I was a dope.
And you are the most wonderful,
most ginchiest girl in the world,
and I took that for granted.
That won't happen again. Um
Betty Cooper, will
you go steady with me?
- Kevin
- Things will be different this time.
I promise. I
I love you, Betty. I do.
And you make my heart feel full.
So will you be my girl?
Will you go to the sock hop with me?
Yeah, of course.
- Yeah?
- Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
All right.
Um
Uh
- [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY] How do I
- I'll I'll do it.
Okay.
[KEVIN, SOFTLY] All right.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Guess who didn't show up
for her assigned detention?
- The Muggs girl.
- I'm concerned, Felix.
I I think we should
speak to Ethel's parents.
God knows what's troubling that girl.
Now, you want me to believe
that a girl, this girl,
generated these pages?
Yes, and she's currently
skipping detention
because of how badly she wants
to draw comic books for you,
Mr. Fieldstone.
[INHALES] Well, young lady,
let me congratulate you.
These are the most putrid
pages I've seen in a long time.
And that's the highest
compliment I can give any artist.
Freckles, you have some real talent.
What's your name?
Ethel.
Thank you, Mr. Fieldstone.
Well, freckles, you and boy
wonder here make a terrific team.
So, what are you, boyfriend-girlfriend?
Uh, no.
We are just creative partners.
- But we are going to the sock hop together.
- Ah.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Smithers. I'm about to put my face on.
My apologies, Miss Veronica.
But I was emptying the bins
and came across something
that I believe belongs to you.
What's this?
It seems to be a poem, miss.
Mom, Dad, is everything all right?
We got called down to your school.
They said you're acting
like some delinquent.
Drawing dirty pictures.
[MRS. MUGGS] On top of
staying up at all hours,
inviting boys into your bedroom
and now missing detention?
We did not raise you this way, Ethel.
Maybe if you didn't drink so much, Mom.
And maybe if you weren't so
miserable all of the time, Dad.
The hell did you just say to me?
Never mind.
[MR. MUGGS] Where do
you think you're going?
I'm going to the sock hop with Jughead.
- Over my dead body, you are.

out-of-this-world singer.
Yeah, and he sure is easy on the eyes.
But I can say the same about you.
Anyway, I was
I was really looking forward
to seeing you perform tonight.
Maybe you can give me a private

Yeah.

- Of course. Have fun tonight.

Good evening, Riverdale High.
- Who's ready to rock 'n' roll?

I got the poem you wrote for me.
Or at least I think you did.
"A stolen look across the hall.
I hope she hears my silent call.
Dreams of walks through moonlit nights
with the girl more beautiful
than all the cosmic sights."
It's beautiful, Archie.
Um It barely rhymes.
How do you feel about a do-over?
Or, to put it in other words,
Archie Andrews, may I have this dance?
I'm sorry, Veronica.
Maybe next time.
Will you excuse me?
Of course.
Veronica Lodge.
Julian Blossom.
Where have you been keeping yourself?
Oh, I've been around.
Waiting for my moment.
You could do a lot worse, you know.
