Jughead Jones Quotes

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

Jughead Jones: Betty don't! Don't do give up! You family is definitely splintering right now but it won't fall apart because of you. Because you're holding them together. You're so much stronger than all of the white noise. You're stronger than your mother. You're stronger than your father. You're holding this family together. So don't... don't let go.
Betty Cooper: I won't.

People like to say that the death of Jason Blossom changed everything at Riverdale High, but certain things, certain traditions, never change. Take homecoming for instance. Though Jason's jersey had been retired, the Riverdale Bulldogs would still be playing their arch-rivals the Baxter High Ravens with the River Vixens cheering them on. As in previous years, graduates from days of Riverdale past will come to town to relive their more youthful, more carefree days or... To make up for lost time.

At it's heart, Riverdale was, and is, a wicked little town.

Veronica Lodge: Bee, if it's about money, I'm happy to help pay for the printing.
Betty Cooper: Thank you, Vee, but it's... the principal of it. Mr. Honey has been on our case since day one. Do you remember when he threatened us on our first day back? And how many of us are already banned from going to prom?
