EXT. RIVERDALE HIGHWAY - SUNDOWN (FLASHBACK)
Archie, walking home from a job, pulls up his shirt, to wipe his
forehead, when a cute VW BUG slows down...stops right in front
of him. The driver’s side WINDOW rolls down, revealing -- A SEXY
22-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, in sunglasses, sipping a Cherry Slurpee...
REGGIE (V.O.)
‘Cause you know that’s what
they want, right?
22-YEAR-OLD WOMAN
Archie? Thought that was you.
What are you doing, walking in
this heat?
REGGIE (V.O.)
These bored, lonely, sex-starved
housewives?
ARCHIE
Uhm. Building character?
REGGIE (V.O.)
A young, hot football-stud to
service them?
22-YEAR-OLD WOMAN
(smiling at him)
Wanna ride?
OFF ARCHIE, debating this offer, as we RESUME WITH --
INT. RIVERDALE HIGH - HALLWAY - MORNING
-- Archie, Reggie, and Moose. As Archie backs away from them...
ARCHIE
...I think that’s more an Xtube fantasy
from your spank-bank, Reggie --
-- and Archie’s down the hall, around a corner, and WE HEAR:
JOSIE (PRE-LAP)
Excuse me, this is a closed rehearsal.
INT. CLASSROOM - DAY
Archie, holding his pages from the locker, has just come into the
room, where three girls -- JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS -- were in the
middle of a practice jam. VALERIE (dark-haired) and MELODY (a
platinum blonde) stand with their instruments, behind their
leader: Gorgeous, imperious JOSIE, at a microphone. All three
ladies wear the ICONIC PUSSYCAT EARS. (Yep, Gang, we’re all in.) ARCHIE
Uh, sorry, I, I didn’t know --
(except, yeah, he did) -- but, now that I am here, I was hoping to
talk to you about -- some songs? I wrote?
JOSIE
(eyes narrowing)
Do I even know you?
