• [first lines] 

  Jughead Jones : [narrating voice over]  I think many of us, maybe the entire town, had been hoping against hope that somehow Jason Blossom hadn't drowned on July 4th. That we'd come to school Monday morning, and there Jason would be. Or that we'd see him and Cheryl in a booth at Pop's. But that was before the undeniable, irrevocable fact of his bloated, water-logged body, a corpse with a bullet hole in its forehead, and terrible secrets that could only be revealed by the cold, steel blade of a coroner's autopsy scalpel, or the telltale beating of a guilty heart.

• Reggie Mantle : I mean let's think about it: if a kid at Riverdale killed Jason, it's not gonna be a jock right? No let's be honest. Isn't it always some spooky, scrawny, pathetic internet troll too busy writing his manifestos to get laid? Some smug, moody, serial killer, fanboy freak... like Jughead?

  [Jug narrows his eyes at Reggie] 

  Reggie Mantle : What was it like, suicide squad? When you killed Jason? You didn't do stuff to the body like... after?

  Jughead Jones : It's called necrophilia, Reggie... Can you spell it?

  Reggie Mantle : [Going after Jughead]  Come here, you little-!

  Archie Andrews : [Pushes Reggie back]  Hey shut the hell up, Reggie!

  Veronica Lodge : Boys...

  Reggie Mantle : What do you care, Andrews?

  Archie Andrews : Nothing, just leave him alone.

• Jughead Jones : Hi. Do you think I could use Jason Blossom's death as an excuse to get out of PE? "Sorry Coach, I'm just too freaked out and depressed right now to do pull ups."

  Archie Andrews : Don't joke about Jason Blossom.

  Jughead Jones : What? Sardonic humor is just my way of relating to the world.

  [Scoffs as the jocks show up in the hall] 

  Jughead Jones : Look, it's the rich kids from the goonies. All right. I'm out.

• Jughead Jones : [after Jughead sees Archie talking to Grundy at the game]  Girl trouble? You?

  Archie Andrews : Grundy and me. We're telling Weatherbee. At least I am.

  [Jughead nods slightly] 

  Archie Andrews : And also, I didn't mean all that crap I said to you... I'm sorry.

  Jughead Jones : It's cool.

  [Archie looks at him. Jughead tries to hold back a grin] 

  Jughead Jones : We're not gonna hug in front of this whole town.

  [Archie laughs] 

  Jughead Jones : So why don't we just both do that bro thing where we nod like douches and mutually suppress our emotions.

  Archie Andrews : Yeah... but as friends, right?

  Jughead Jones : To be discussed... over many burgers... and many days.

  [Archie heads back to the field. Jughead smiles] 

• Archie Andrews : [Upon finding Jughead on his front steps, waiting]  Jug. What's up?

  Jughead Jones : What's up is I saw you, Archie. In the music room. With Ms. Grundy.

  Archie Andrews : Keep your voice down: my dad's inside!

  Jughead Jones : I'm trying to help you, dude. I'm trying to be your friend here. Even though we're not anymore. How long? You and Grundy?

  Archie Andrews : Since the summer.

  [hesitates] 

  Archie Andrews : I like her.

  Jughead Jones : So I guess she's the reason you've been acting weird since summer?

  Archie Andrews : One of them.

  Jughead Jones : One of them. There's more?

  Archie Andrews : We were at Sweetwater River on July 4th. We heard a gunshot- the gunshot.

  Jughead Jones : Dude, you have to tell somebody.

  Archie Andrews : I can't. Neither can you. If people find our about Grundy...

  Jughead Jones : A kid is dead, Archie! And you're worried about some... some cougar!

  Archie Andrews : Don't call her that! She's not like that, okay, she cares about me.

  Jughead Jones : Stab in the dark: I'm guessing she cares more about herself. She's the one who's telling you not to say anything, right?

  [Archie doesn't answer] 

  Jughead Jones : Look I saw you guys. She's messing with you, man. And she's messing with your mind.

  Archie Andrews : What the hell do you know about it Jughead? Or about me even?

  Jughead Jones : [defeated]  Nothing. But I used to know this guy once. Archie Andrews. He wasn't perfect but... he always tried to do the right thing at least.

  [starts to leave] 

  Archie Andrews : [grabbing Jughead's jacket]  Jug... if you tell anyone about this...

  Jughead Jones : What? What are you gonna do?
