55

00:03:12,093 --> 00:03:15,262

[Veronica] So,

with Featherhead gone,

who's gonna run the asylum now?

56

00:03:15,295 --> 00:03:17,230

[Jughead] Well, not to sound

like Chicken Little,

57

00:03:17,264 --> 00:03:20,134

but what if

it's Dr. Werthers?

58

00:03:20,168 --> 00:03:22,070

There's got to be

better candidates

out there.

59

00:03:22,103 --> 00:03:25,405

Like Captain Hook

or Godzilla?

60

00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:27,742

Just so long as they don't

ask my uncle to step up.

61

00:03:27,775 --> 00:03:29,677

Well, I actually know

the perfect candidate,

62

00:03:29,711 --> 00:03:31,512

but we would need

support from the PTA

to push it through.

63

00:03:31,546 --> 00:03:34,247

My mom's president

of the PTA, of course.

64

00:03:34,281 --> 00:03:36,117

Well, that's a brick wall.

65

00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:38,186

The last time we appealed to

your mom's better angels,

she let us down.

66

00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:42,023

She did, but I think

that we should give her

another chance.

67

00:03:42,056 --> 00:03:44,726

A lot has changed for her

since then.

68

00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:47,128

Well, in the meantime,

I'm going to pay

a house call

69

00:03:47,161 --> 00:03:48,930

on good old

Dr. Moldy.

------------------------------------------------------

326

00:17:12,767 --> 00:17:14,802

Clay.

327

00:17:14,836 --> 00:17:18,907

Tell me, have you ever read

the story, <i>The Comet?</i>

328

00:17:18,940 --> 00:17:21,141

Of course. Multiple times,

in fact.

329

00:17:22,010 --> 00:17:23,210

I figured you would've.

330

00:17:24,044 --> 00:17:25,479

In that case,

331

00:17:25,513 --> 00:17:27,882

how would you feel

about writing and directing

332

00:17:27,916 --> 00:17:33,021

an adaptation of <i>The Comet</i>

as a major motion picture?

333

00:17:33,086 --> 00:17:34,789

[laughs softly]

Is this a gag?

334

00:17:34,822 --> 00:17:36,524

I've actually been

fiddling with

335

00:17:36,558 --> 00:17:38,560

a screenplay version

of <i>The Comet</i> for years.

336

00:17:38,593 --> 00:17:41,061

Well, thanks to Jughead,

337

00:17:41,094 --> 00:17:43,397

I connected

with Du Bois' agents.

338

00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:47,267

And it turns out

the movie rights had been

languishing for years.

339

00:17:47,301 --> 00:17:49,102

So I snapped them up,

340

00:17:49,136 --> 00:17:52,439

and I suspected

you'd be passionate

about this.

341

00:17:52,472 --> 00:17:54,742

Veronica, I can't believe

what I'm hearing.

342

00:17:54,776 --> 00:17:57,110

It's going to be

an uphill battle,

343

00:17:57,144 --> 00:17:58,913

but there are things

we can do,

344

00:17:58,947 --> 00:18:01,516

like get the right star

attached.

345

00:18:02,884 --> 00:18:05,185

Someone like, say...

346

00:18:05,218 --> 00:18:07,021

[both] Sidney Poitier.

347

00:18:07,055 --> 00:18:08,590

Precisely.

348

00:18:08,623 --> 00:18:10,090

Can you get to him?

349

00:18:10,123 --> 00:18:12,426

I might not

be able to get to him.

350

00:18:12,459 --> 00:18:14,529

But we both know

someone who can.

351

00:18:14,562 --> 00:18:15,530

Josie McCoy.

352

00:18:16,129 --> 00:18:17,699

But, Clay,

353

00:18:17,732 --> 00:18:21,435

if we're going

to attach a big star

like Sidney,

354

00:18:21,468 --> 00:18:25,105

your adaptation

needs to be undeniable.

355

00:18:25,138 --> 00:18:26,874

Don't worry, it will be.

356

00:18:26,908 --> 00:18:29,376

And who needs to wait

for summer? I'll get

going right away.

357

00:18:29,409 --> 00:18:30,377

Wonderful.

358

00:18:32,780 --> 00:18:34,682

In that case,

359

00:18:34,716 --> 00:18:38,185

I'm thinking a premiere

at Cannes in the next

four to five years.

360

00:18:38,218 --> 00:18:39,319

How does that sound?

361

00:18:43,390 --> 00:18:44,626

[laughs]

362

00:18:47,095 --> 00:18:48,328

Yay!

------------------------------------------------------

580

00:30:52,821 --> 00:30:54,188

[Veronica] Hey, Jughead.

581

00:30:56,256 --> 00:30:58,292

Archie told us

what you showed him.

582

00:30:59,627 --> 00:31:01,295

We'd like to see

what Archie saw.

583

00:31:02,429 --> 00:31:07,434

-Together.

-Classic Bee and Vee style.

584

00:31:07,468 --> 00:31:13,874

[male voice] <i>Our story</i>

<i>is about a town, a small town,</i>

<i>decent, innocent.</i>

585

00:31:13,907 --> 00:31:19,380

<i>and you start seeing</i>

<i>the shadows underneath.</i>

586

00:31:19,413 --> 00:31:22,216

<i>The name of our town</i>

[female singer] <i>♪ Tell me ♪</i>

588

00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:27,354

You could have prepared us

a little more for that,

Jughead Jones.

589

00:31:29,724 --> 00:31:30,625

[Betty sniffles]

590

00:31:33,661 --> 00:31:34,629

There was...

591

00:31:39,900 --> 00:31:41,935

so much darkness

592

00:31:43,203 --> 00:31:45,939

in that world. [sniffles]

593

00:31:46,775 --> 00:31:48,409

And my family...

594

00:31:50,177 --> 00:31:52,312

My father was a killer.

595

00:31:55,082 --> 00:31:58,352

My sister was murdered

596

00:31:58,385 --> 00:32:03,390

and then came back

to life. [crying]

597

00:32:04,859 --> 00:32:07,294

[sighs] You and I,

598

00:32:08,028 --> 00:32:09,731

we were together.

599

00:32:09,764 --> 00:32:10,665

[chuckles softly] Yeah.

600

00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:13,701

Until we weren't.

601

00:32:17,672 --> 00:32:19,306

I was with Archie.

602

00:32:20,675 --> 00:32:25,379

And I killed

my husband, Chad,

603

00:32:27,515 --> 00:32:29,283

and my father.

604

00:32:30,451 --> 00:32:31,485

2

00:00:05,161 --> 00:00:07,763

[Jughead] <i>One distinct</i>

—---------------------------------------------------------------

147

00:07:18,428 --> 00:07:21,931

Well, I know what I'd do

if a bomb were heading our way,

148

00:07:21,964 --> 00:07:25,834

I'd sequester myself

in the Pembrooke

sub-sub-basement.

149

00:07:25,867 --> 00:07:28,705

It's like a little

underground city down there.

150

00:07:28,738 --> 00:07:31,240

You'd be invited,

of course, Juggiekins.

—---------------------------------------------------------------

635

00:35:58,348 --> 00:35:59,648

Veronica has some

contacts in the FBI

636

00:35:59,681 --> 00:36:01,051

from when they

investigated her father.

637

00:36:01,084 --> 00:36:02,618

I'll reach out to her

and see if she can get me

638

00:36:02,651 --> 00:36:03,685

the names of

some of those agents.

639

00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,788

Good thinking, Sherlock Jones.

640

00:36:05,821 --> 00:36:10,160

By the way,

are you and Veronica

officially an item now?

641

00:36:12,529 --> 00:36:13,530

Shucks, I don't know.

[embarrassed chuckle]

642

00:36:13,562 --> 00:36:16,366

Talk about being

in over your crown.

643

00:36:16,399 --> 00:36:18,968

-Oh, I'm holding my own.
