EXT. RIVERDALE HIGH - MORNING
Establishing. TEACHERS going in; KIDS loitering out front, trying
to extend the summer even for a few more minutes...
BETTY (PRE-LAP)
When Principal Weatherbee asks me to give
a tour, I usually start with a little
history and context. Riverdale High first
opened its doors in 1941 --
INT. RIVERDALE HIGH - HALLWAYS - MORNING
Betty’s leading Veronica down a locker-lined hall --
VERONICA
-- and hasn’t been redecorated since,
apparently. Honestly, I feel like I’m
wandering through the lost epilogue of
“Our Town” -- what’s the social scene
like here? Any night clubs?
BOY’S VOICE
(behind them)
A strip club called the Hoe Zone and a
tragic gay bar called Innuendo --
Betty and Veronica turn to -- KEVIN, coming up behind them...
KEVIN
Friday nights it’s football games, then
tailgate parties in the Walmart parking
lot -- attendance is mandatory. Saturday
night is movie night, regardless of
what’s playing at the Bijou -- and better
get there early, because we don’t have
reserved seats in Riverdale. Sunday
nights, thank God for HBO.
BETTY
Veronica Lodge, Kevin Keller. Veronica’s
new here, Kevin is --
VERONICA
-- gay, thank God. Let’s be best friends.KEVIN
Is it true what they say about your dad?
VERONICA
That he’s the devil?
KEVIN
That he’s in jail, about to be on trial?
