Veronica: What's happening out there? Do we know? Is it about me?
Jughead: I have a strong inkling, and no. Also, I'd let it go.
Veronica: Yes, but you're you and I'm me. You do you, girl. I'll be back.
[She leaves]
Kevin: What was it like before she got here? I honestly cannot remember.

Kevin: Can I borrow the truck for the drive-in?
Sheriff Keller: You got a date?
Kevin: No, I'm going with Veronica.
Sheriff Keller: Ah okay. Isn't there a nice gay kid at your school?
Kevin: Yes, there is. Me.
Sheriff Keller: Alright. No cruising guys tonight. We both know what goes in those woods.
Kevin: Oh my God, Dad!

Betty: Bobby pin.
Veronica: Okay, Ms. MacGyver.
[Unlocks box]
Betty: I learned that from the Nancy Drew detective handbook.

Betty: Ms. Grundy showed up in Riverdale a year ago, out of thin air. There is no record of her before that. Her Facebook, her LinkedIn account...they were all created a year ago. Before that she's a ghost, she doesn't exist. The only 'Geraldine Grundy' I could find was a woman who died seven years ago.
Archie: Where did you find all this?
Veronica: The deep web, the dark internet. Check it, it's all online...simple Googling.

If I would have known Mama Lodge was working as a waitress at Pop's, I never would've given Veronica a spot on the Vixens. It's off-brand and it sends a false message of acceptance.

Cheryl

Veronica: What the hell is a "Sticky Maple"?
Kevin: It's kinda what it sounds like. It's a Riverdale thing.
Veronica: No, Kevin, it's a slut-shaming thing. And I'm neither a slut nor am I going to be shamed by someone named, excuse me, Chuck Clayton! Does he really think he can get away with this? Does he not know who I am?! I will cut the brakes on his supped-up phallic symbol.

Mrs. Cooper: Hermoine Lodge. Park Ave Princess to cater waiter.
Mrs. Lodge: Alice Cooper. No longer lactose intolerant, I see.
Mrs. Cooper: How's Veronica? Oh, you don't even know, do you? The things they're saying about your daughter at school?
Mrs. Lodge: What things?
Mrs. Cooper: Slut-shaming. It's what they call it when sluts get shamed.

Mr. Andrews: I need you to tell me the truth about something. I know my son has passion for music, but does he have talent? See, I want to be supportive but as a parent, it's really hard to watch your kid chase a dream they may never catch when real opportunities are passing them by.
Ms. Grundy: Mr. Andrews, Archie...he has talent. Unquestionably. I'm not gonna lie to you, he is coming to it late and he's got a lot of catching up to do. And there's an entire world of competition out there.
Mr. Andrews: Will he be able to make a living at it?
Ms. Grundy: It'd be a shame if he didn't at least try.

Cheryl: Color me impressed. A B&E with B&V. What would your Holy Roller mother say about this, Betty?
Betty: What are you doing here. Cheryl?
Kevin: And where did you get those thigh-high boots?! They're amazing.

Betty: You should be writing about the real story. What happened to Jason? Who was holding him captive? Why was he frozen? And who shot that gun on July 4?
Mrs. Cooper: Yes, well if you're so keen on reporting, then why don't you come work with your father and me? The Register could really use a Lois Lane type like you.

Moose: So, Saturday night...
Kevin: Listen Moose, you're hot. Yes. My type? Definitely. But you've got more demons than The Exorcist. We are all on the spectrum but my gay-o-meter says you should stick with what you know best...girls.

Cheryl: You're here for me, aren't you? Because of the autopsy?
Principal Weatherby: We don't need to do this in front of your classmates, Cheryl.
Cheryl: It's alright, Principal Weatherby. They'll find out soon enough.
[Holds up wrists]
Sheriff Keller: No, that won't be necessary.
Veronica: Wait, Cheryl, find out what?
Cheryl: That I'm guilty.

Riverdale Season 1 Quotes

What is a "Chock'lit Shoppe" and why does it sell burgers?!

Veronica

Our story is about a town; a small town and the people who live in the town. From a distance, it presents itself like so many other small towns all over the world...safe, decent, innocent. Get closer though and you start seeing the shadows underneath. The name of our town is "Riverdale".
