- Nick St. Clair: [impressing everybody at party] ... then we walk into the Gilded Lily, and there's Gal... again.
- Archie Andrews: [as Veronica chuckles] Gal?
- Cheryl Blossom: Gadot. Keep up, Archie.
- Veronica Lodge: I'm glad you two are getting the chance to meet,
- [to Nick:]
- Veronica Lodge: although your brown-nosing at dinner was over the top.
- Nick St. Clair: How dare you? I love your mother's flan.
- [chuckles]
- Nick St. Clair: Although, I still have room for more dessert.
- [offers them speed]
- Nick St. Clair: Here.
- [Archie looks at him disapprovingly]
- Veronica Lodge: [ignores outstretched arm] No, thank you, I'm full.
- Nick St. Clair: Veronica Lodge turning down a bump. What a brave new world it is.
- [smirks]
- Nick St. Clair: How about it, Big Red?
- [Archie shakes his head]
- Nick St. Clair: So, what is it that you country mice do for fun up here? Catch... lightning bugs with Mason jars?
- Archie Andrews: No, we...
- Veronica Lodge: Basically.
- Nick St. Clair: [finds her 'leopard ears'] Ronnie. What kind of kink is this?
- Veronica Lodge: I wear them when I'm playing with Josie and the Pussycats.
- Nick St. Clair: You're in a band...
- Veronica Lodge: Mm-hmm.
- Nick St. Clair: ...called the Pussycats? Just when I thought you couldn't possibly get any sexier.
- Cheryl Blossom: [appears in door, totally vampy as usual] Did somebody say party?
- [enters]
- Cheryl Blossom: Hi there. I'm Riverdale's resident it-girl, Cheryl Blossom.
- [to Nick:]
- Cheryl Blossom: You must be Veronica's old school chum I keep hearing about.
- Nick St. Clair: [greets] Nick. St. Clair.
- Cheryl Blossom: Now *that's* a name I can get behind. Ten o'clock, you said? I'll be there at eleven.
- Veronica Lodge: [at party, where Betty has refused to do drugs] Come on, Betty, don't be such a wallflower. You're boyfriend-less for a night. Have some fun.
- Betty Cooper: Like you, you mean? I was gonna say you're making a fool out of yourself, just acting like some privileged, shallow, airhead party girl.
- Veronica Lodge: [scoffs] Excuse me?
- Betty Cooper: Yeah.
- [gets up]
- Betty Cooper: I mean, it's all just recycled banter...
- [looks at the Pussycats:]
- Betty Cooper: and plunging necklines, and throwing shade to distract us all from the fact that there's really nothing going on underneath.
- Archie Andrews: Betty, what the hell are you saying...?
- Betty Cooper: What we're all thinking. That the only reason Veronica hangs out with us is circumstance. She's not our friend. The *minute* someone from her trashy past shows up, she starts using us for drugs, or music, or distraction. And why should we be surprised? Like father, like daughter, right?
- Veronica Lodge: You better shut it down, Betty.
- Betty Cooper: Or what, Veronica? You'll have your Dad put a hit on me? Or maybe you'll do it yourself. Because you may have fooled all of them, but not me.
- [shakes her head]
- Betty Cooper: Try to reform all you want, but you're a bad person, Veronica.
- [shrugs]
- Betty Cooper: You'll always be a bad person.
- Veronica Lodge: Why don't you just go then, if I'm such a monster?
- Archie Andrews: [as Betty leaves] Veronica...
- Veronica Lodge: I'm fine. Obviously, she's not. Wait, you wanna go after her? Be my guest. I'll be damned if I'm chasing Betty down after that - Whatever it was.
- Alice Cooper: [arriving late at party, bare legs, sandals, asp necklace and all, and, on the red carpet, walks past her husband:] Shove it, Hal!
