Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,647 --> 00:00:05,389
"I saw the best minds of my generation
2
00:00:05,433 --> 00:00:08,523
destroyed by madness,
3
00:00:08,566 --> 00:00:12,004
starving, hysterical, naked.
4
00:00:12,048 --> 00:00:15,878
Angel-headed hipsters burning for
the ancient heavenly connection
5
00:00:15,921 --> 00:00:18,446
to the starry dynamo in
the machinery of night,
6
00:00:18,489 --> 00:00:23,538
floating across the tops of
cities contemplating jazz."
7
00:00:28,282 --> 00:00:31,111
Is that from Howl, by Allen Ginsberg?
8
00:00:31,154 --> 00:00:33,156
Yeah. He... he performed it
9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,766
in San Francisco earlier this year.
10
00:00:34,810 --> 00:00:36,986
Ginsberg, he's a Beat poet, isn't he?
11
00:00:37,029 --> 00:00:38,509
That's right, Betty.
12
00:00:38,553 --> 00:00:40,207
Yeah, he was there at the
beginning, at Columbia,
13
00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:43,340
with Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs.
14
00:00:43,384 --> 00:00:46,213
Sorry, but... who are the Beats?
15
00:00:46,256 --> 00:00:49,303
- The Beats are...
- Vagabond rebel writers
16
00:00:49,346 --> 00:00:52,132
who reject institutionalized
American values
17
00:00:52,175 --> 00:00:55,657
like materialism, conformity
and heteronormativity.
18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:57,702
Heteronormativity?
19
00:00:59,356 --> 00:01:02,185
The Beats have a lot of sex, Archie.
20
00:01:03,534 --> 00:01:05,319
And a lot of it with each other.
21
00:01:05,362 --> 00:01:07,495
Even the men's men,
like Kerouac and Cassidy,
22
00:01:07,538 --> 00:01:08,931
they have girlfriends.
23
00:01:08,974 --> 00:01:12,674
But they also have each other.
24
00:01:12,717 --> 00:01:15,764
Bully for them. Sounds like
my kind of literary movement.
25
00:01:15,807 --> 00:01:17,853
The Beats are a whole counterculture
26
00:01:17,896 --> 00:01:20,116
dedicated to living
their lives a certain way.
27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,509
Always exploring,
28
00:01:21,552 --> 00:01:23,032
experimenting, hustling,
29
00:01:23,075 --> 00:01:25,034
pushing the boundaries
of human experience.
30
00:01:25,077 --> 00:01:26,688
You know, really living.
31
00:01:27,384 --> 00:01:28,472
Uh...
32
00:01:29,821 --> 00:01:31,083
Uh, Ms. Grundy,
33
00:01:31,127 --> 00:01:33,434
are we allowed to continue reading Howl?
34
00:01:33,476 --> 00:01:36,785
Yes, I already made copies.
35
00:01:36,827 --> 00:01:39,918
Read it, and we will discuss
it at our next meeting.
36
00:01:43,922 --> 00:01:46,229
Bettie Page sure is a dolly and a half.
37
00:01:46,273 --> 00:01:47,448
Oh, she's an icon in fishnets.
38
00:01:47,491 --> 00:01:49,014
Even you will have to agree, Lizzo.
39
00:01:49,058 --> 00:01:50,625
Yeah, she's not bad,
40
00:01:50,668 --> 00:01:53,410
but I wanna let you two
kittens in on a little secret.
41
00:01:53,454 --> 00:01:56,238
That mag's nowheresville compared
to what I just got in the mail.
42
00:01:58,241 --> 00:01:59,895
What are my eyes beholding?
43
00:01:59,938 --> 00:02:02,419
The latest issue of
Femme-and-In magazine,
44
00:02:02,463 --> 00:02:04,682
an underground lesbian pin-up mag.
45
00:02:07,381 --> 00:02:09,773
Lizzo, can we borrow this?
46
00:02:09,818 --> 00:02:12,951
Oh, you can keep it, Topaz.
I always buy two copies.
47
00:02:12,995 --> 00:02:15,606
Just, uh, don't get caught with
your hand in the cookie jar.
48
00:02:17,739 --> 00:02:20,568
Whatever you wet rags are
doing tonight, drop it.
49
00:02:20,611 --> 00:02:23,353
I got my hands on a stag film.
50
00:02:23,397 --> 00:02:24,615
Wait, what's a stag film?
51
00:02:24,659 --> 00:02:25,877
Jeez, Andrews, maybe it's time
52
00:02:25,921 --> 00:02:27,879
to get your nose out of those poems.
53
00:02:27,923 --> 00:02:29,229
It's a skin flick,
54
00:02:29,272 --> 00:02:31,187
complete with naked women.
55
00:02:31,231 --> 00:02:33,407
Sometimes more than one.
56
00:02:33,450 --> 00:02:35,235
Where'd you get something like that?
57
00:02:35,278 --> 00:02:36,932
A buddy of mine from Stonewall Prep,
58
00:02:36,975 --> 00:02:37,975
lent it to me.
59
00:02:38,542 --> 00:02:39,978
So who's game?
60
00:02:40,022 --> 00:02:41,763
Oh, come on, Fogarty,
you've got to be horny
61
00:02:41,806 --> 00:02:44,244
with your honey under lock
and key at the Sisters'.
62
00:02:44,983 --> 00:02:46,376
Where would we watch it?
63
00:02:46,420 --> 00:02:47,943
We can hang a blanket
up in my parents' barn.
64
00:02:47,986 --> 00:02:51,294
Only glitch is, we need a projector.
65
00:02:53,470 --> 00:02:56,125
You two work at the
movie theater, right?
66
00:02:56,168 --> 00:02:57,735
Can you help a brother out?
67
00:02:57,779 --> 00:03:02,000
The Babylonium does have
a smaller projector, but...
68
00:03:02,044 --> 00:03:03,567
We wanna come, too.
69
00:03:03,568 --> 00:03:04,568
Fine.
70
00:03:04,568 --> 00:03:06,135
Just don't expect it to be like
71
00:03:06,178 --> 00:03:08,442
one of those wrestling
movies you like to watch.
72
00:03:11,053 --> 00:03:13,447
So, Robert Frost.
73
00:03:14,317 --> 00:03:15,623
You in?
74
00:03:15,666 --> 00:03:17,494
- Yeah, we're in.
- Right-o.
75
00:03:17,538 --> 00:03:19,279
From all accounts you
won't be disappointed.
76
00:03:19,322 --> 00:03:22,543
My pal told me that there's
nothing they don't show.
77
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,812
Jeepers, Mr. Fieldstone,
it's like a funeral in here.
78
00:03:31,595 --> 00:03:33,205
Did something happen?
79
00:03:33,248 --> 00:03:35,730
Yes. I got a letter from
that crackpot Werthers.
80
00:03:37,296 --> 00:03:38,994
Apparently wants to
follow up his bonfire
81
00:03:39,037 --> 00:03:40,996
with some cockamamie comic book code
82
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:42,563
he wants to ram down our throats.
83
00:03:42,606 --> 00:03:43,606
A code to do what?
84
00:03:43,607 --> 00:03:45,000
To censor our content,
85
00:03:45,043 --> 00:03:46,828
like the Hays Code censors movies.
86
00:03:46,871 --> 00:03:49,570
Now, I didn't spend two
years fighting Nazis in France
87
00:03:49,613 --> 00:03:51,267
to kowtow to fascists at home.
88
00:03:51,311 --> 00:03:53,095
He and his "board of experts"
89
00:03:53,138 --> 00:03:54,879
want to have a sit-down
meeting with you?
90
00:03:54,923 --> 00:03:57,839
Yeah, and look who that geezer's
got on his side of the table.
91
00:03:57,882 --> 00:04:00,537
Mayor Blossom, that
chrome-dome principal,
92
00:04:00,581 --> 00:04:03,671
some fuddy-duddy nun from
The Sisters of Quiet Mercy.
93
00:04:03,714 --> 00:04:06,500
Well, golly, Mr. Fieldstone,
you have to do it.
94
00:04:06,543 --> 00:04:08,371
It might be the best
way to defend Pep Comics
95
00:04:08,415 --> 00:04:09,851
before this code becomes official.
96
00:04:09,894 --> 00:04:12,027
Okay, fine, fine. I'll,
I'll try and get my hands
97
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:14,029
on a draft of Werthers'
"recommendations"
98
00:04:14,072 --> 00:04:15,813
before we go into the lion's den.
99
00:04:15,857 --> 00:04:16,901
"We"?
100
00:04:16,945 --> 00:04:18,686
You have tangled with Werthers before
101
00:04:18,729 --> 00:04:20,078
and lived to tell the tale.
102
00:04:20,905 --> 00:04:21,993
So far.
103
00:04:22,037 --> 00:04:23,081
What do you say?
104
00:04:24,344 --> 00:04:25,954
Will you step up?
105
00:04:25,997 --> 00:04:27,042
You betcha.
106
00:04:27,085 --> 00:04:29,305
Let's beat 'em at their own game.
107
00:04:30,872 --> 00:04:32,439
You know, babe,
108
00:04:32,482 --> 00:04:35,877
what if we did a
pin-up shoot of our own.
109
00:04:37,357 --> 00:04:39,010
Color me curious.
110
00:04:39,054 --> 00:04:40,185
I've got a camera.
111
00:04:40,229 --> 00:04:42,013
And it has a timer,
112
00:04:42,057 --> 00:04:44,364
so we could both be in the pictures.
113
00:04:44,407 --> 00:04:46,627
In that case, afterwards,
114
00:04:46,670 --> 00:04:48,542
we could pick our favorite photo,
115
00:04:48,585 --> 00:04:50,021
and then I could turn it into
116
00:04:50,065 --> 00:04:52,546
the most fantabulous oil painting
117
00:04:52,589 --> 00:04:53,721
in the tradition of our favorite
118
00:04:53,763 --> 00:04:55,549
pulp novel covers.
119
00:04:56,245 --> 00:04:58,160
I know exactly
120
00:04:58,203 --> 00:05:00,075
where our clandestine photoshoot can be.
121
00:05:00,118 --> 00:05:02,512
Tell me. Where?
122
00:05:02,556 --> 00:05:03,905
Thornhill's chapel.
123
00:05:03,948 --> 00:05:06,124
No one in my unholy family ever uses it.
124
00:05:16,613 --> 00:05:19,181
Well, if it isn't the Bobbsey Twins,
125
00:05:19,224 --> 00:05:20,617
up to their old tricks again.
126
00:05:20,661 --> 00:05:22,750
How many times do I
have to tell you boys
127
00:05:22,793 --> 00:05:27,102
that you're free to watch your
wrestling movies in our auditorium.
128
00:05:27,145 --> 00:05:30,584
After hours, of course,
and provided you clean up.
129
00:05:30,627 --> 00:05:34,805
Oh, uh, it's, it's not
that, Veronica. Um...
130
00:05:34,849 --> 00:05:36,372
Julian...
131
00:05:36,416 --> 00:05:39,506
got his hands on a stag film,
132
00:05:39,549 --> 00:05:42,073
and he needs a projector to screen it.
133
00:05:42,117 --> 00:05:43,771
You don't say.
134
00:05:43,814 --> 00:05:45,773
I've heard about these "smokers" before.
135
00:05:45,816 --> 00:05:48,558
So-called because they're
typically screened by men
136
00:05:48,602 --> 00:05:51,039
in the back rooms of their private clubs
137
00:05:51,082 --> 00:05:54,695
while smoking cigars
and enjoying hot toddies.
138
00:05:54,738 --> 00:05:56,739
But I've never actually seen one.
139
00:05:56,784 --> 00:05:58,307
Though I've always been curious.
140
00:05:58,350 --> 00:06:00,135
Exactly. Same as us.
141
00:06:00,178 --> 00:06:03,355
Yeah, that's why we're
helping the creep.
142
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:04,792
Why don't I make you a deal?
143
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:06,750
You tell Julian
144
00:06:06,794 --> 00:06:08,317
that he can do a proper screening
145
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,058
here at the Babylonium tonight,
146
00:06:10,101 --> 00:06:13,191
and invite all his horndog friends.
147
00:06:13,235 --> 00:06:14,715
But I get to come, too.
148
00:06:14,758 --> 00:06:16,151
And invite a gal-pal.
149
00:07:02,458 --> 00:07:04,242
I thought you'd given me the brush-off.
150
00:07:04,286 --> 00:07:07,681
I know. I'm sorry. I had to wait for
my mom to take her sleeping pills.
151
00:07:08,551 --> 00:07:09,857
I'm just glad you made it.
152
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:11,511
I didn't want to be the only girl here,
153
00:07:11,554 --> 00:07:13,556
and I knew you'd wanna take a gander.
154
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,775
Oh, yes.
155
00:07:14,818 --> 00:07:16,472
Ever since reading about stag films
156
00:07:16,516 --> 00:07:18,126
in Dr. Kingsley's book.
157
00:07:18,169 --> 00:07:19,954
Well, the boys are
already in the theater,
158
00:07:19,997 --> 00:07:21,651
panting like a pack of rabid wolves.
159
00:07:22,912 --> 00:07:24,785
It's showtime, fellas.
160
00:07:24,828 --> 00:07:26,308
So settle down,
161
00:07:26,351 --> 00:07:29,920
and welcome to the
Riverdale premiere of...
162
00:07:29,964 --> 00:07:31,052
The Wedding Night.
163
00:07:31,095 --> 00:07:32,749
- Yeah!
- Yes.
164
00:07:32,793 --> 00:07:34,838
In which a young, blushing bride
165
00:07:34,882 --> 00:07:38,320
is initiated into the
mysteries of matrimony.
166
00:07:38,363 --> 00:07:39,408
Okay!
167
00:07:39,451 --> 00:07:40,975
Now, behave yourselves, fellas.
168
00:07:41,018 --> 00:07:43,847
Keep the roughhousing and
catcalling to a minimum.
169
00:07:43,891 --> 00:07:46,371
And with that, enjoy the show.
170
00:08:03,780 --> 00:08:05,739
- Take it off!
- Yeah.
171
00:08:11,092 --> 00:08:12,092
Oh, my gosh.
172
00:08:12,963 --> 00:08:14,051
Betty, what's wrong?
173
00:08:15,096 --> 00:08:17,402
Stop! Stop the movie! Stop!
174
00:08:17,446 --> 00:08:18,752
That woman is my sister.
175
00:08:18,795 --> 00:08:20,144
- Your sister?
- Polly?
176
00:08:23,495 --> 00:08:25,846
Cut the reel and, uh,
hit the lights, Clay.
177
00:08:35,778 --> 00:08:39,206
Well, safe to say that was
a twist no one saw coming.
178
00:08:41,296 --> 00:08:43,690
When was the last time
you saw your sister?
179
00:08:43,733 --> 00:08:47,868
A couple of years, but, Vee,
this doesn't make any sense.
180
00:08:47,911 --> 00:08:50,348
Polly is a dancer on Broadway.
181
00:08:50,392 --> 00:08:52,524
Maybe you should call Polly.
182
00:08:52,568 --> 00:08:54,918
See if you can get some answers.
183
00:08:56,398 --> 00:08:58,008
- Hello.
- Polly.
184
00:08:59,053 --> 00:09:00,445
It's Betty, I...
185
00:09:00,489 --> 00:09:03,231
I found your number
in Mom's address book.
186
00:09:03,274 --> 00:09:05,146
I'm sorry to be calling
you so late, but...
187
00:09:05,929 --> 00:09:07,496
we need to talk.
188
00:09:25,514 --> 00:09:26,820
He didn't pass it to you, he...
189
00:09:26,863 --> 00:09:29,083
So last night was a bust.
190
00:09:29,126 --> 00:09:30,606
Tell you what, though,
191
00:09:30,650 --> 00:09:33,043
I got Keller and Walker
to lend me a projector,
192
00:09:33,087 --> 00:09:35,089
and I watched another movie I got
193
00:09:35,132 --> 00:09:36,438
from my buddy at Stonewall Prep
194
00:09:36,481 --> 00:09:38,483
after Cooper shut us down.
195
00:09:38,527 --> 00:09:40,485
And, guys,
196
00:09:40,529 --> 00:09:43,619
it's like the tenth
Wonder of the World. Mm.
197
00:09:43,663 --> 00:09:45,012
And guess what?
198
00:09:45,055 --> 00:09:46,448
For two bucks,
199
00:09:46,491 --> 00:09:48,755
I'll rent you the
projector and the movie,
200
00:09:48,798 --> 00:09:49,930
which you can watch
201
00:09:49,973 --> 00:09:51,192
in the privacy of your own home,
202
00:09:51,235 --> 00:09:53,368
this time, with no interruptions.
203
00:09:54,195 --> 00:09:55,326
What do you say, boys?
204
00:09:56,719 --> 00:10:00,114
Okay, so you and Polly actually spoke?
205
00:10:00,157 --> 00:10:01,637
Yes, but it was quick.
206
00:10:01,681 --> 00:10:03,204
She's on her way to Riverdale, now.
207
00:10:03,247 --> 00:10:04,684
We're gonna meet at Pop's
208
00:10:04,727 --> 00:10:06,294
so she can explain
everything to me in person.
209
00:10:06,337 --> 00:10:08,252
But she says she doesn't
do those films anymore.
210
00:10:08,296 --> 00:10:09,401
Right. She's on Broadway.
211
00:10:09,555 --> 00:10:12,427
No, actually, that's her cover story.
212
00:10:12,471 --> 00:10:16,083
What she told me last
night is she does...
213
00:10:16,127 --> 00:10:17,127
burlesque.
214
00:10:17,128 --> 00:10:18,433
Really?
215
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,523
Do your parents know that?
216
00:10:22,394 --> 00:10:23,438
Apparently.
217
00:10:23,482 --> 00:10:24,962
I didn't ask them this morning.
218
00:10:25,005 --> 00:10:27,355
They don't even know that
I reached out to Polly.
219
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:31,664
Well, for what it's worth,
burlesque is a legit art form.
220
00:10:31,708 --> 00:10:35,320
In fact, some burlesque
performers are huge stars.
221
00:10:35,363 --> 00:10:37,017
Gypsy Rose Lee, to name one.
222
00:10:37,061 --> 00:10:38,845
Josephine Baker, to name another.
223
00:10:38,889 --> 00:10:42,327
Well, she says her stage
name is Polly Amorous.
224
00:10:43,807 --> 00:10:45,155
Cut the gas.
225
00:10:45,199 --> 00:10:47,027
Polly Amorous?
226
00:10:47,071 --> 00:10:49,377
Betty, she's the
berries. I'm gonna flip.
227
00:10:49,378 --> 00:10:50,378
What?
228
00:10:50,378 --> 00:10:51,858
Have you seen her perform?
229
00:10:51,902 --> 00:10:53,338
No, I wish.
230
00:10:53,381 --> 00:10:55,557
But I recognize that
name from the trades.
231
00:10:55,601 --> 00:10:59,170
I always thought she sounded
so glamorous and flossy.
232
00:10:59,213 --> 00:11:01,346
I mean, I'd flat-out
die and go to heaven
233
00:11:01,389 --> 00:11:02,869
to have her perform at the Babylonium.
234
00:11:02,913 --> 00:11:04,566
Uh, she kind of already did.
235
00:11:04,610 --> 00:11:06,786
Her burlesque show, you tickler.
236
00:11:06,830 --> 00:11:08,962
Say, come to think of it,
237
00:11:09,006 --> 00:11:13,575
maybe this is why your mom
is so terrified of S-E-X.
238
00:11:13,619 --> 00:11:16,013
Maybe she's threatened by Polly.
239
00:11:16,056 --> 00:11:17,275
Her independence,
240
00:11:17,318 --> 00:11:18,668
her sexuality,
241
00:11:18,711 --> 00:11:20,408
her devil-may-care ways.
242
00:11:24,848 --> 00:11:27,981
Well, hi-de-ho, I
must say it's official.
243
00:11:28,025 --> 00:11:29,200
You're a genius.
244
00:11:29,243 --> 00:11:30,767
Well, photography is no big whoop
245
00:11:30,810 --> 00:11:33,770
when you have subjects
as stunning as, well, us.
246
00:11:35,249 --> 00:11:36,903
By the way, I was reading the back pages
247
00:11:36,947 --> 00:11:38,470
of Femme-and-In magazine,
248
00:11:38,513 --> 00:11:40,907
and they publish amateur photos,
249
00:11:40,951 --> 00:11:43,562
if that's something that
you're interested in.
250
00:11:43,605 --> 00:11:46,086
Perhaps after we graduate high school.
251
00:11:46,913 --> 00:11:48,088
In the meantime,
252
00:11:48,132 --> 00:11:50,525
how do you feel about me
painting a version of this for us?
253
00:11:50,569 --> 00:11:53,615
That's my favorite one, too.
254
00:11:53,659 --> 00:11:56,183
I can't wait to see how you pulpify us.
255
00:11:56,227 --> 00:11:58,446
I know how you feel about
comic books, Veronica,
256
00:11:58,490 --> 00:12:01,101
but I also know that you're
the top negotiator in town.
257
00:12:01,145 --> 00:12:04,888
And though I'm not necessarily
a fanatic of comic books,
258
00:12:04,931 --> 00:12:08,152
I don't think they should
be burned or banned.
259
00:12:09,153 --> 00:12:10,197
But this code...
260
00:12:10,241 --> 00:12:11,764
Yeah, my boss, Mr. Fieldstone
261
00:12:11,808 --> 00:12:13,592
got us a copy ahead of the meeting.
262
00:12:13,635 --> 00:12:17,335
What that crackpot Werthers
is proposing is insane.
263
00:12:17,378 --> 00:12:20,817
I mean, it is straight out of 1984.
264
00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:22,296
Big Brother is watching,
265
00:12:22,340 --> 00:12:23,907
and he's trying to
take your comic books.
266
00:12:23,950 --> 00:12:27,171
These rules are more
outrageous than the Hays Code.
267
00:12:27,214 --> 00:12:28,650
How can you possibly spin any yarn
268
00:12:28,694 --> 00:12:31,131
with all these kinds
of blanket restrictions?
269
00:12:31,175 --> 00:12:32,437
Heck, he's even trying to ban the words
270
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,655
"horror" and "terror" from our covers.
271
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:37,268
And some of these rules
are incredibly vague.
272
00:12:37,311 --> 00:12:39,444
Werthers wants to outlaw stories with
273
00:12:39,487 --> 00:12:42,360
"horror, bloodshed, depravity, lust,"
274
00:12:42,403 --> 00:12:44,449
but he doesn't define
what those terms mean.
275
00:12:44,492 --> 00:12:47,887
I think he's trying to
specifically target Pep Comics.
276
00:12:47,931 --> 00:12:50,150
And if he gets his way, the good doctor
277
00:12:50,194 --> 00:12:51,935
is going to run us out of business.
278
00:12:51,978 --> 00:12:53,153
So you came to me.
279
00:12:54,067 --> 00:12:55,067
Smart.
280
00:12:55,765 --> 00:12:56,765
Well, first,
281
00:12:58,071 --> 00:12:59,246
don't get the gringles.
282
00:13:00,030 --> 00:13:01,292
If they smell fear,
283
00:13:01,335 --> 00:13:02,510
they will pounce on you.
284
00:13:03,642 --> 00:13:07,254
Technically, this isn't a code.
285
00:13:07,298 --> 00:13:08,299
It's a proposal.
286
00:13:08,342 --> 00:13:10,127
Their first offer.
287
00:13:10,170 --> 00:13:14,305
So you and Mr. Fieldstone
should make a counter-proposal.
288
00:13:14,348 --> 00:13:17,134
Go through this draft point by point.
289
00:13:17,177 --> 00:13:19,527
Be crystal clear about what you want.
290
00:13:19,571 --> 00:13:21,791
Yeah. Yeah, that's good.
291
00:13:21,834 --> 00:13:24,228
You're in the right
on this one, Jughead.
292
00:13:24,271 --> 00:13:25,795
Don't doubt yourself.
293
00:13:29,842 --> 00:13:32,062
It's really nice to
see you again, Polly.
294
00:13:32,105 --> 00:13:33,150
I missed you.
295
00:13:33,193 --> 00:13:34,542
Aw. I missed you, too, Betty.
296
00:13:34,586 --> 00:13:36,544
I'm sorry that we're reconnecting
297
00:13:36,588 --> 00:13:38,503
under these circumstances.
298
00:13:38,546 --> 00:13:42,855
Oh, I figured you'd want this back.
299
00:13:42,899 --> 00:13:44,770
Yes, hmm, thank you.
300
00:13:45,684 --> 00:13:49,514
Can I ask, why did you do it, Polly?
301
00:13:50,864 --> 00:13:53,475
I got hoodwinked into
filming The Wedding Night
302
00:13:53,518 --> 00:13:55,346
when I first got to New York.
303
00:13:55,390 --> 00:13:56,957
I was young and naive,
304
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,004
and I fell in love with a
fink who steered me wrong.
305
00:14:01,048 --> 00:14:04,225
I spent a year trying to track
down every copy I could find.
306
00:14:04,268 --> 00:14:06,749
- Thought I got 'em all.
- Hmm.
307
00:14:06,793 --> 00:14:08,751
Well, how did you... how
did you get into burlesque?
308
00:14:08,795 --> 00:14:09,795
It's funny.
309
00:14:09,796 --> 00:14:11,362
Um, I auditioned for the Rockettes.
310
00:14:11,406 --> 00:14:13,277
But I wasn't tall enough.
311
00:14:13,321 --> 00:14:17,368
And then I saw Gypsy Rose Lee perform
312
00:14:17,412 --> 00:14:19,893
at the Ziegfeld Follies, and I thought,
313
00:14:19,936 --> 00:14:21,546
that is what I wanna do.
314
00:14:21,590 --> 00:14:24,419
And whatever you might
think about burlesque,
315
00:14:24,462 --> 00:14:26,334
I'm proud of my career.
316
00:14:26,377 --> 00:14:28,249
It's on my terms. I make good money.
317
00:14:28,292 --> 00:14:29,424
People respect me,
318
00:14:29,467 --> 00:14:31,513
and I respect myself.
319
00:14:31,556 --> 00:14:32,862
So you don't have to worry.
320
00:14:32,906 --> 00:14:34,646
I wanted to tell you that face to face.
321
00:14:34,690 --> 00:14:37,737
I'm so happy for you, Polly, really.
322
00:14:38,999 --> 00:14:42,176
And... to be perfectly honest,
323
00:14:42,219 --> 00:14:47,224
I did a little burlesque show of my own
324
00:14:47,268 --> 00:14:49,792
just for one person, Archie.
325
00:14:49,836 --> 00:14:51,663
Archie from next door?
326
00:14:51,707 --> 00:14:53,187
In our windows.
327
00:14:53,230 --> 00:14:55,145
Well, you always were sweet on him.
328
00:14:56,973 --> 00:15:01,108
How much did you say
Mom and Dad know about...
329
00:15:01,151 --> 00:15:02,631
My life?
330
00:15:02,674 --> 00:15:05,852
Well, they don't know
about The Wedding Night.
331
00:15:05,895 --> 00:15:07,114
Thank God.
332
00:15:07,157 --> 00:15:09,681
But they do know about Polly Amorous.
333
00:15:09,725 --> 00:15:11,858
I invited them to my
show a couple years ago.
334
00:15:11,901 --> 00:15:13,468
They walked out in
the first five minutes
335
00:15:13,511 --> 00:15:14,948
without saying a word.
336
00:15:14,991 --> 00:15:16,558
Not a peep.
337
00:15:16,601 --> 00:15:17,994
And then I started hearing
that Mom was telling people
338
00:15:18,038 --> 00:15:20,170
I was doing Guys and
Dolls, and I thought,
339
00:15:20,997 --> 00:15:22,956
"Well, that is it for me."
340
00:15:22,999 --> 00:15:24,174
In their eyes, at least.
341
00:15:24,218 --> 00:15:25,393
But it's fine.
342
00:15:25,436 --> 00:15:27,177
I'm past that. Truly.
343
00:15:27,221 --> 00:15:29,005
I came here for you, Betty,
344
00:15:29,049 --> 00:15:31,703
and I booked a room
at the Cozy Time Motel
345
00:15:31,747 --> 00:15:34,532
because I figured Mom and Dad
have no interest in seeing me.
346
00:15:34,576 --> 00:15:36,796
And anyways, I don't wanna
step foot in that house...
347
00:15:36,839 --> 00:15:38,232
ever again.
348
00:15:38,275 --> 00:15:39,799
I understand.
349
00:15:41,191 --> 00:15:42,584
Believe me.
350
00:15:42,627 --> 00:15:45,500
But I thought we could
do something fun tonight.
351
00:15:45,543 --> 00:15:48,372
Go shopping, to the
movies. My treat, of course.
352
00:15:48,416 --> 00:15:51,027
Actually, if you're not
rushing back to the city,
353
00:15:51,071 --> 00:15:53,856
I was wondering if you might be willing
354
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:55,118
to meet a friend of mine.
355
00:15:55,162 --> 00:15:57,251
She's a big fan of yours,
356
00:15:57,294 --> 00:16:00,341
of... of Polly Amorous.
357
00:16:00,384 --> 00:16:01,995
A fan in Riverdale?
358
00:16:02,038 --> 00:16:03,779
Absolutely.
359
00:16:03,823 --> 00:16:05,128
I never say no to a fan.
360
00:16:15,486 --> 00:16:17,619
Be still my beating heart.
361
00:16:17,662 --> 00:16:22,189
The Polly Amorous sitting
in my humble living room.
362
00:16:22,232 --> 00:16:23,581
Now that we're gal pals,
363
00:16:23,625 --> 00:16:26,802
you must tell me
everything about everything.
364
00:16:26,846 --> 00:16:30,806
How's Gay Paree and Old Madrid
and every city in between.
365
00:16:30,850 --> 00:16:32,808
I will let you know
just after I get back
366
00:16:32,852 --> 00:16:36,681
from my all-expenses-paid
first-class European tour.
367
00:16:36,725 --> 00:16:38,596
- Polly, you're going
to Europe? - Mm-hmm.
368
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,816
Your sister is living the dream.
369
00:16:40,860 --> 00:16:44,472
A new city and a different
paramour every night I bet.
370
00:16:44,515 --> 00:16:47,649
Well, not exactly.
371
00:16:48,258 --> 00:16:49,650
Oh?
372
00:16:49,694 --> 00:16:50,694
I...
373
00:16:51,871 --> 00:16:52,915
I'm engaged.
374
00:16:54,525 --> 00:16:55,525
You're engaged?
375
00:16:55,525 --> 00:16:57,006
To... to who?
376
00:16:57,050 --> 00:16:59,095
His name is Langley Huggles.
377
00:16:59,139 --> 00:17:01,924
He's a stockbroker,
completely devoted to me.
378
00:17:01,968 --> 00:17:03,447
Keeps me grounded.
379
00:17:03,491 --> 00:17:05,319
And housed in a penthouse
on the Upper West Side.
380
00:17:05,362 --> 00:17:06,755
Ooh, la, la.
381
00:17:08,148 --> 00:17:12,151
Polly, you were going to
invite me to the wedding,
382
00:17:12,195 --> 00:17:17,418
I hope, whatever tension
there is with Mom and Dad.
383
00:17:17,461 --> 00:17:18,810
Sure, I was.
384
00:17:19,724 --> 00:17:21,160
Actually,
385
00:17:21,204 --> 00:17:24,904
I was gonna ask you if you
would be my maid of honor.
386
00:17:27,645 --> 00:17:29,082
Aw.
387
00:17:29,125 --> 00:17:32,259
Well, I wouldn't be Veronica
Lodge if I didn't ask.
388
00:17:32,302 --> 00:17:35,523
What do you think about
doing a one-night-only show
389
00:17:35,566 --> 00:17:38,004
at my theater, The Babylonium?
390
00:17:38,047 --> 00:17:40,615
I know Betty would love to
see you perform, as would I.
391
00:17:40,658 --> 00:17:42,443
It's true, and maybe
Mom would even come,
392
00:17:42,486 --> 00:17:44,010
since it's right here in town.
393
00:17:44,053 --> 00:17:46,186
I wouldn't hold your
breath on that, Betty.
394
00:17:46,229 --> 00:17:48,101
But as a matter of fact,
395
00:17:48,144 --> 00:17:50,668
I am working on a new routine.
396
00:17:51,452 --> 00:17:53,193
Well, then it's kismet.
397
00:17:53,236 --> 00:17:55,935
And we'll keep it on the
hush-hush. Girls only.
398
00:18:04,334 --> 00:18:06,902
This is gonna be the best
two dollars we've ever spent.
399
00:18:06,946 --> 00:18:10,601
I'll say. Tonight we become men.
400
00:18:16,477 --> 00:18:17,608
You ready?
401
00:18:17,652 --> 00:18:19,654
Yeah.
402
00:18:37,063 --> 00:18:38,499
What, uh...
403
00:18:39,543 --> 00:18:41,241
What is this?
404
00:18:41,284 --> 00:18:44,026
Don't know. Maybe they're gonna
fight over a girl or something.
405
00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:45,767
- Right. Yeah.
- Yeah.
406
00:18:45,810 --> 00:18:46,810
Yeah.
407
00:18:54,167 --> 00:18:55,516
Dang nabbit!
408
00:18:56,734 --> 00:19:00,782
That joker Julian must have
switched films on us as a gag.
409
00:19:00,825 --> 00:19:03,828
Yeah, didn't Julian say something about
410
00:19:03,872 --> 00:19:06,570
Kevin and Clay watching
wrestling videos?
411
00:19:06,614 --> 00:19:08,137
I don't know. But we should probably
412
00:19:08,181 --> 00:19:09,399
turn this off, right? I mean...
413
00:19:09,443 --> 00:19:12,620
Yeah. Yeah, we probably should.
414
00:19:27,113 --> 00:19:28,549
Maybe we just give it a minute
415
00:19:28,592 --> 00:19:30,290
just to see if a girl
comes in or something.
416
00:19:30,333 --> 00:19:31,769
Yeah, that's a good idea.
417
00:19:32,814 --> 00:19:34,120
Let's do that.
418
00:19:54,662 --> 00:19:57,491
Hey, that was... wacko, right?
419
00:20:00,842 --> 00:20:05,151
Do you think the guys
in that movie were...
420
00:20:06,369 --> 00:20:07,457
you know...
421
00:20:07,501 --> 00:20:11,244
Well... some guys are that way.
422
00:20:12,810 --> 00:20:14,203
Yeah, so...
423
00:20:15,335 --> 00:20:16,727
Are Kevin and Clay?
424
00:20:16,771 --> 00:20:17,771
I think...
425
00:20:19,991 --> 00:20:20,991
yeah.
426
00:20:21,776 --> 00:20:22,864
Maybe.
427
00:20:22,907 --> 00:20:24,648
And, you know, there's an in-between.
428
00:20:27,651 --> 00:20:29,479
What do you mean, an in-between?
429
00:20:29,523 --> 00:20:32,743
Like a little wiggle room to... explore.
430
00:20:35,268 --> 00:20:37,792
We've been talking about it
in Mrs. Grundy's workshop.
431
00:20:38,836 --> 00:20:41,317
These Beat poets would...
432
00:20:43,624 --> 00:20:45,278
experiment with each other.
433
00:20:45,321 --> 00:20:46,714
Even though they were men's men,
434
00:20:46,757 --> 00:20:49,325
with girlfriends, wives, families.
435
00:20:50,196 --> 00:20:51,240
They would...
436
00:20:52,111 --> 00:20:55,201
with... other guys?
437
00:20:56,854 --> 00:20:57,854
Do stuff.
438
00:20:59,814 --> 00:21:01,337
Yeah, with their buddies.
439
00:21:01,381 --> 00:21:02,773
Just to see, just to...
440
00:21:03,905 --> 00:21:05,472
try it on for size.
441
00:21:08,823 --> 00:21:11,217
I gotta take a cold shower.
442
00:21:11,260 --> 00:21:13,175
Yeah, me too. Well, I'll go after you.
443
00:21:13,219 --> 00:21:14,872
And tomorrow you can bet your ass
444
00:21:14,916 --> 00:21:17,223
that Julian Blossom is gonna
give us our two dollars back.
445
00:21:17,788 --> 00:21:18,788
Yeah.
446
00:21:21,792 --> 00:21:23,794
Hey, Blossom!
447
00:21:23,838 --> 00:21:26,101
What's the big idea giving
us a wrestling movie?
448
00:21:26,145 --> 00:21:27,798
Aw, aren't you two in
love with each other?
449
00:21:27,842 --> 00:21:29,278
I thought that flick might
break the ice, you know,
450
00:21:29,322 --> 00:21:30,758
get the ball, or balls, rolling.
451
00:21:30,801 --> 00:21:32,934
Give us our damn money
back or I'll pound you.
452
00:21:32,977 --> 00:21:34,065
All right!
453
00:21:34,109 --> 00:21:36,024
Get your filthy meat hooks off of me.
454
00:21:36,067 --> 00:21:37,286
There you go, ladies.
455
00:21:37,330 --> 00:21:38,766
There's your two clams.
456
00:21:38,809 --> 00:21:40,594
If anything I should be paying you.
457
00:21:40,637 --> 00:21:42,900
Your faces are priceless.
458
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:44,337
What about the damn stag film?
459
00:21:44,380 --> 00:21:45,512
The one with Cooper's sister.
460
00:21:45,555 --> 00:21:48,123
Betty took it, numbskull.
461
00:21:48,167 --> 00:21:49,690
But I do have another smoky.
462
00:21:49,733 --> 00:21:52,562
This one about a guy with two girls.
463
00:21:52,606 --> 00:21:53,998
If you're interested.
464
00:21:55,348 --> 00:21:58,612
This time I'll lend it to you gratis.
465
00:21:58,655 --> 00:21:59,656
What does that mean?
466
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:01,441
It's free.
467
00:22:01,484 --> 00:22:02,790
'Cause I'm that kind of guy.
468
00:22:11,668 --> 00:22:13,322
Hey, all you hep kittens!
469
00:22:13,366 --> 00:22:15,846
May we have your attention, please?
470
00:22:15,890 --> 00:22:18,109
Clear your dance cards, ladies,
471
00:22:18,153 --> 00:22:20,677
because the Babylonium
is proud to present
472
00:22:20,721 --> 00:22:24,072
a very special,
one-night-only performance
473
00:22:24,115 --> 00:22:28,163
by international burlesque
star and chanteuse,
474
00:22:28,207 --> 00:22:31,122
the sensational Polly Amorous.
475
00:22:31,166 --> 00:22:32,515
Who?
476
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:33,951
My sister Polly.
477
00:22:33,995 --> 00:22:36,780
Wait. Your sister's a burlesque star.
478
00:22:36,824 --> 00:22:38,695
Things are starting to
make a hellish sense now.
479
00:22:38,739 --> 00:22:40,088
In any case,
480
00:22:40,131 --> 00:22:42,830
this is going to be a ladies night only.
481
00:22:42,873 --> 00:22:44,571
No boys allowed.
482
00:22:44,614 --> 00:22:47,095
Well, sounds like my kinda night.
483
00:22:47,138 --> 00:22:49,402
So, who's in?
484
00:22:58,019 --> 00:22:59,629
"Scenes dealing with
485
00:22:59,673 --> 00:23:01,936
or instruments associated
with walking dead,
486
00:23:01,979 --> 00:23:04,373
torture, vampires and vampirism,
487
00:23:04,417 --> 00:23:05,679
ghouls, cannibalism,
488
00:23:05,722 --> 00:23:07,637
and werewolfism are prohibited."
489
00:23:07,681 --> 00:23:09,987
Wooden stakes are used to kill vampires.
490
00:23:10,031 --> 00:23:13,904
But if Super Duck used
wooden stakes to pitch a tent,
491
00:23:13,948 --> 00:23:15,993
would that be okay or
is that banned, too?
492
00:23:16,037 --> 00:23:17,256
Mr. Jones, please.
493
00:23:17,299 --> 00:23:18,909
Clearly, context matters.
494
00:23:18,953 --> 00:23:21,303
And shouldn't you be in class?
495
00:23:21,347 --> 00:23:22,652
It's my lunch period, sir.
496
00:23:22,696 --> 00:23:26,047
"Suggestive and salacious illustration
497
00:23:26,090 --> 00:23:28,963
or suggestive posture is unacceptable"?
498
00:23:29,006 --> 00:23:30,747
Could you be a little more specific
499
00:23:30,791 --> 00:23:33,228
about which postures you mean?
500
00:23:33,272 --> 00:23:35,012
Um, Sister,
501
00:23:35,056 --> 00:23:37,145
uh, perhaps you and the doctor
502
00:23:37,188 --> 00:23:40,931
could, uh, demonstrate
for us numbskulls.
503
00:23:40,975 --> 00:23:42,150
Buffoons.
504
00:23:42,193 --> 00:23:43,412
What about this item?
505
00:23:43,456 --> 00:23:46,067
"All scenes of horror,
excessive bloodshed,
506
00:23:46,110 --> 00:23:49,244
gory or gruesome crimes,
depravity, lust, sadism
507
00:23:49,288 --> 00:23:51,464
and masochism shall not be permitted"?
508
00:23:51,507 --> 00:23:54,902
This code in its current state
violates the First Amendment.
509
00:23:54,945 --> 00:23:56,947
Oh, surely you're not suggesting
510
00:23:56,991 --> 00:23:59,863
that tripe like this is
protected by free speech.
511
00:23:59,907 --> 00:24:02,039
Freedom of speech is
protection of speech
512
00:24:02,083 --> 00:24:03,954
that you don't agree with, Dr. Werthers.
513
00:24:03,998 --> 00:24:06,783
What you are advocating
for is censorship.
514
00:24:06,827 --> 00:24:09,003
You even wanna ban the word "mystery"
515
00:24:09,046 --> 00:24:10,700
from appearing on our covers.
516
00:24:10,744 --> 00:24:12,223
Mr. Fieldstone, as an educator,
517
00:24:12,267 --> 00:24:14,574
I believe this code to
be quite even-handed.
518
00:24:14,617 --> 00:24:15,879
Well, I believe it to be
519
00:24:15,923 --> 00:24:17,794
intentionally vague and confusing
520
00:24:17,838 --> 00:24:20,319
so that you can apply it to
anything you want to censor.
521
00:24:20,362 --> 00:24:23,365
And who exactly defines what "lurid",
522
00:24:23,409 --> 00:24:25,585
"unsavory" or "perverted" is?
523
00:24:25,628 --> 00:24:26,803
Is that you, Dr. Werthers?
524
00:24:26,847 --> 00:24:28,109
Are we done here?
525
00:24:28,152 --> 00:24:29,545
No, we are not done here.
526
00:24:29,589 --> 00:24:31,721
We have a counter-proposal.
527
00:24:31,765 --> 00:24:34,202
In the form of a rating system.
528
00:24:34,245 --> 00:24:35,551
A rating system?
529
00:24:35,595 --> 00:24:37,640
Yes, printed clearly on our covers.
530
00:24:37,684 --> 00:24:40,077
A comic might be rated "K" for "Kid"
531
00:24:40,121 --> 00:24:43,342
or "T" for "Teen" or "A" for "Adult."
532
00:24:43,385 --> 00:24:44,865
Don't be so naive.
533
00:24:44,908 --> 00:24:47,476
Stamping an "A" for
"Adult" on a comic book
534
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,001
would only make it more
desirable for young readers.
535
00:24:51,045 --> 00:24:52,220
Riverdale's children and teenagers
536
00:24:52,263 --> 00:24:53,526
must be protected.
537
00:24:53,569 --> 00:24:54,744
At all costs.
538
00:24:54,788 --> 00:24:56,050
Yeah, you, you keep saying this,
539
00:24:56,093 --> 00:24:57,660
but "protected" from what?
540
00:24:57,704 --> 00:24:59,140
From the corrupting filth
541
00:24:59,183 --> 00:25:01,447
that you and your
colleagues peddle, Mr. Jones.
542
00:25:01,490 --> 00:25:04,101
Tales of... of murder,
lust, sex and violence
543
00:25:04,145 --> 00:25:07,104
that would in turn prompt
the same in their behavior.
544
00:25:07,148 --> 00:25:09,759
Do you want to know what
else has all of those themes?
545
00:25:09,803 --> 00:25:12,022
The Bible, the plays of Shakespeare,
546
00:25:12,066 --> 00:25:13,502
Bullfinch's Mythology...
547
00:25:13,546 --> 00:25:15,069
Apples and oranges.
548
00:25:15,112 --> 00:25:16,810
Wrongdoers are punished in the Bible.
549
00:25:16,853 --> 00:25:19,247
Show me one Pep Comic book
550
00:25:19,290 --> 00:25:20,857
that glamorizes violence.
551
00:25:20,901 --> 00:25:22,468
I don't read such depravity.
552
00:25:22,511 --> 00:25:24,383
No, you just burn it.
553
00:25:24,426 --> 00:25:26,559
Gentlemen, Sister,
554
00:25:26,602 --> 00:25:28,430
I think it's time we wrapped this up.
555
00:25:28,474 --> 00:25:30,040
Don't you concur?
556
00:25:30,084 --> 00:25:31,781
Wrap it up? We haven't even
begun to reach compromise.
557
00:25:31,825 --> 00:25:34,349
This meeting was never a negotiation.
558
00:25:34,393 --> 00:25:36,307
It was offered to you as a courtesy.
559
00:25:36,351 --> 00:25:38,614
All of your competitors
have already agreed
560
00:25:38,658 --> 00:25:41,182
to comply with our Comic Book Code.
561
00:25:41,225 --> 00:25:44,011
You are, at the moment,
the only holdouts.
562
00:25:44,054 --> 00:25:47,536
I mean, if you do not
abide by our strictures,
563
00:25:47,580 --> 00:25:49,538
then you will not be able to print
564
00:25:49,582 --> 00:25:52,715
the Comic Book Code Seal
of Approval on your books.
565
00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:54,325
No! No.
566
00:25:54,369 --> 00:25:55,631
Not even Super Duck,
567
00:25:55,675 --> 00:25:58,808
which means that no newsstand in America
568
00:25:58,852 --> 00:26:02,421
will sell or even
carry your comic books.
569
00:26:02,464 --> 00:26:05,032
They will be relegated
to the trash heap,
570
00:26:06,990 --> 00:26:08,165
where they belong.
571
00:26:13,997 --> 00:26:15,477
I know it's been a busy week,
572
00:26:15,521 --> 00:26:18,001
but did you all have
a chance to read Howl?
573
00:26:18,045 --> 00:26:21,004
Good. Let's open it up for discussion.
574
00:26:21,048 --> 00:26:22,484
What did you all think?
575
00:26:22,528 --> 00:26:24,704
Dynamic and hallucinogenic.
576
00:26:24,747 --> 00:26:29,099
A subterranean toppling of
idolatry and an awakening.
577
00:26:29,143 --> 00:26:30,579
Very good, Clay.
578
00:26:30,623 --> 00:26:34,322
Archie, what did you
think of Ginsberg's poem?
579
00:26:34,365 --> 00:26:35,365
I...
580
00:26:37,238 --> 00:26:39,414
couldn't sleep after reading it.
581
00:26:41,416 --> 00:26:43,723
Where does a humdinger
like Howleven come from?
582
00:26:43,766 --> 00:26:46,029
Well, Allen's lived a lot of life.
583
00:26:46,595 --> 00:26:48,075
My husband says,
584
00:26:48,118 --> 00:26:51,731
"You can't be a real poet
without really... living."
585
00:26:51,774 --> 00:26:53,733
Well, in that case,
586
00:26:53,776 --> 00:26:56,736
I'm never gonna be able to
write anything like Howl.
587
00:26:56,779 --> 00:26:58,868
Why would you say that, Archie?
588
00:26:58,912 --> 00:27:01,697
Because look at me, Ms.
Grundy. I'm a square.
589
00:27:01,741 --> 00:27:03,351
What am I gonna write about?
590
00:27:03,394 --> 00:27:05,832
Jack Kerouac played football
in small-town Massachusetts
591
00:27:05,875 --> 00:27:08,182
before going to Columbia
to study writing.
592
00:27:08,225 --> 00:27:09,705
Maybe it's more about
593
00:27:09,749 --> 00:27:11,751
keeping an open mind about things.
594
00:27:11,794 --> 00:27:14,449
Being open to trying new things,
595
00:27:14,493 --> 00:27:17,713
with different people.
596
00:27:17,757 --> 00:27:21,891
Or more than one person, maybe two.
597
00:27:22,718 --> 00:27:24,285
Let me ask you this, Archie.
598
00:27:25,547 --> 00:27:27,375
Have you ever seen the sunrise?
599
00:27:28,158 --> 00:27:29,595
Sure.
600
00:27:29,638 --> 00:27:31,248
You mean like waking up
early for basketball practice?
601
00:27:31,292 --> 00:27:34,469
No, no, I mean staying up all night.
602
00:27:34,513 --> 00:27:36,427
With your friends, drinking coffee and,
603
00:27:36,471 --> 00:27:40,127
and getting into deep
philosophical conversations
604
00:27:40,170 --> 00:27:44,087
that last until the sky
streaks pink and yellow
605
00:27:44,131 --> 00:27:45,436
with the dawn's early light.
606
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,830
My husband and I do that, once a month.
607
00:27:49,658 --> 00:27:51,094
Let me tell you, it is...
608
00:27:52,705 --> 00:27:53,749
transcendent.
609
00:27:54,750 --> 00:27:57,274
It's like... being reborn.
610
00:27:58,885 --> 00:28:00,190
Betty,
611
00:28:00,234 --> 00:28:01,844
what's your take on Howl?
612
00:28:01,888 --> 00:28:05,456
To be honest, Mrs. Grundy,
I'm halfway through it, and...
613
00:28:08,547 --> 00:28:12,420
so far, I appreciate how...
614
00:28:12,463 --> 00:28:16,293
How it isn't afraid to
ask the hard questions?
615
00:28:16,337 --> 00:28:18,861
To have the difficult conversations
616
00:28:18,905 --> 00:28:20,123
that many of us are...
617
00:28:21,429 --> 00:28:22,909
too afraid to even begin?
618
00:28:34,703 --> 00:28:35,965
Lady's Leisure?
619
00:28:37,184 --> 00:28:38,838
Any interesting article...
620
00:28:38,881 --> 00:28:41,797
What can I do for you, Elizabeth?
621
00:28:41,841 --> 00:28:44,365
I came here to see if
you wanted to join me
622
00:28:44,408 --> 00:28:46,628
and my gal pals tonight
at the Babylonium.
623
00:28:49,196 --> 00:28:50,806
Polly's performing.
624
00:28:52,765 --> 00:28:54,549
What?
625
00:28:54,593 --> 00:28:56,899
Polly's here? In Riverdale?
626
00:28:56,943 --> 00:28:58,466
And she's performing?
627
00:28:58,509 --> 00:29:00,294
She is. I called her.
628
00:29:01,774 --> 00:29:03,993
When were you planning on
telling me that my sister
629
00:29:04,037 --> 00:29:06,039
is a world famous burlesque dancer?
630
00:29:06,082 --> 00:29:08,519
Never, if I had my druthers.
631
00:29:10,434 --> 00:29:14,395
So is that why you've been
so down on me all this time?
632
00:29:14,438 --> 00:29:17,137
Are you punishing me
for Polly's choices,
633
00:29:17,180 --> 00:29:20,575
or trying to make sure that I
don't follow in her footsteps?
634
00:29:20,619 --> 00:29:22,838
I can't believe your
sister's here, performing.
635
00:29:22,882 --> 00:29:24,231
Well, she is.
636
00:29:24,274 --> 00:29:26,102
She's living her life, Mom,
637
00:29:26,146 --> 00:29:29,584
without us because you
decided to cut her off.
638
00:29:30,890 --> 00:29:32,935
Oh, did you know that she's engaged?
639
00:29:33,893 --> 00:29:35,155
To a stockbroker.
640
00:29:37,157 --> 00:29:39,420
Don't you want to go to her wedding?
641
00:29:39,463 --> 00:29:41,727
Please, just come to
the show tonight, Mom.
642
00:29:41,770 --> 00:29:45,731
Imagine what a great surprise
that it would be for her,
643
00:29:45,774 --> 00:29:49,169
not to mention the best
chance we have to...
644
00:29:49,909 --> 00:29:51,998
just be a family again.
645
00:29:52,041 --> 00:29:53,303
In what world
646
00:29:53,347 --> 00:29:55,784
would I wanna go and watch my daughter
647
00:29:55,828 --> 00:29:57,873
debase herself for dirty old men?
648
00:29:57,917 --> 00:29:59,658
It is not for dirty old men.
649
00:29:59,701 --> 00:30:01,224
It is just for girls.
650
00:30:01,268 --> 00:30:03,052
Well, I don't care if
it's for the Virgin Mary.
651
00:30:04,271 --> 00:30:05,881
Well, I'm going.
652
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:09,668
And don't even try to forbid me.
653
00:30:09,711 --> 00:30:12,366
Because I'm proud of Polly
654
00:30:12,409 --> 00:30:14,324
and I want to support her,
655
00:30:14,368 --> 00:30:17,414
and show her that I love and
accept her no matter what.
656
00:30:19,112 --> 00:30:20,330
Unlike her mother.
657
00:30:27,076 --> 00:30:28,382
You ready?
658
00:30:28,425 --> 00:30:29,425
Ready.
659
00:30:53,712 --> 00:30:55,670
What...
660
00:30:55,714 --> 00:30:58,804
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no! No!
661
00:30:58,847 --> 00:31:00,675
What are we supposed to do now?
662
00:31:00,719 --> 00:31:02,590
I'm horny as heck!
663
00:31:04,853 --> 00:31:06,072
Me, too, Reg.
664
00:31:06,942 --> 00:31:08,030
Me, too.
665
00:31:09,815 --> 00:31:10,815
Wait...
666
00:31:12,992 --> 00:31:14,123
I got an idea.
667
00:31:16,604 --> 00:31:18,301
Now it's little raunchy,
668
00:31:18,345 --> 00:31:19,520
but, I mean, if you're up for it...
669
00:31:26,005 --> 00:31:29,922

Looks like Twyla hit
the jackpot tonight.
673
00:31:40,976 --> 00:31:42,412
Now, which one of you hunks
674
00:31:42,456 --> 00:31:44,675
of Wisconsin man-cheese
is coming in first?
675
00:31:46,199 --> 00:31:48,984
Or maybe you both wanna come in...
676
00:31:49,898 --> 00:31:51,030
at the same time?
677
00:32:15,402 --> 00:32:17,273
Ladies and...
678
00:32:17,317 --> 00:32:18,405
Ladies.
679
00:32:21,016 --> 00:32:22,975

Polly, that was spectacular.
721
00:35:01,611 --> 00:35:03,091
Oh, it was okay.
722
00:35:03,135 --> 00:35:05,050
Still working out the kinks.
723
00:35:05,093 --> 00:35:06,399
Well, some of them.
724
00:35:06,442 --> 00:35:07,835
I'm just glad I finally got to see
725
00:35:07,878 --> 00:35:11,230
a bona fide burlesque star in the flesh.
726
00:35:11,273 --> 00:35:14,102
But interestingly, not too much flesh.
727
00:35:14,146 --> 00:35:15,756
Well, that is correct.
728
00:35:15,799 --> 00:35:18,019
If you're good enough, you
can suggest more than show.
729
00:35:18,063 --> 00:35:22,763
Well, you, my dear Miss
Amorous are better than good.
730
00:35:22,806 --> 00:35:24,721
I'm just sorry that Mom didn't come.
731
00:35:24,765 --> 00:35:26,680
I really thought that she might rally.
732
00:35:26,723 --> 00:35:29,813
It's okay. She doesn't
believe in what I do.
733
00:35:29,857 --> 00:35:32,947
But that's on her. Not me or you.
734
00:35:32,991 --> 00:35:34,644
Look, Betty,
735
00:35:34,688 --> 00:35:37,560
if you take anything from
my visit, let it be this.
736
00:35:37,604 --> 00:35:40,520
When you find the thing that you love,
737
00:35:40,563 --> 00:35:42,652
just promise me that you'll do it.
738
00:35:42,696 --> 00:35:45,481
No matter what Mom or anybody says.
739
00:35:46,091 --> 00:35:48,180
I promise.
740
00:35:48,223 --> 00:35:52,662
And I want nothing more than
to be your maid of honor.
741
00:35:53,924 --> 00:35:55,143
Oh, Betty.
742
00:35:56,449 --> 00:35:58,277
Oh, consider yourself booked.
743
00:36:08,765 --> 00:36:09,766
Wow.
744
00:36:11,377 --> 00:36:12,726
Mrs. Grundy was right.
745
00:36:14,771 --> 00:36:17,557
Staying up all night really
does make the dawn look...
746
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,688
Different.
747
00:36:18,732 --> 00:36:19,776
Somehow.
748
00:36:20,821 --> 00:36:21,822
Yeah.
749
00:36:24,912 --> 00:36:25,913
And now that we've...
750
00:36:30,048 --> 00:36:34,095
expanded our horizons...
751
00:36:34,139 --> 00:36:35,749
It seems like...
752
00:36:35,792 --> 00:36:37,968
anything's possible at this point.
753
00:36:45,367 --> 00:36:47,543
I love you, Reggie.
754
00:36:49,371 --> 00:36:50,764
I love you, too, bud.
755
00:37:13,817 --> 00:37:14,875
Sweetheart.
756
00:37:14,875 --> 00:37:16,572
Something wrong?
757
00:37:16,616 --> 00:37:20,228
Perhaps you should pray
on it in the chapel.
758
00:37:20,272 --> 00:37:21,925
I don't get to go as often as I'd like,
759
00:37:21,969 --> 00:37:26,582
but when I do I find such comfort there.
760
00:37:29,803 --> 00:37:32,240
Toni, I have a question for you.
761
00:37:32,284 --> 00:37:34,547
Do you still have the
negatives from our photoshoot?
762
00:37:34,590 --> 00:37:37,071
Of course. Why?
763
00:37:37,115 --> 00:37:39,508
My hideous mother
764
00:37:39,552 --> 00:37:41,249
and by extension, my father.
765
00:37:42,511 --> 00:37:44,600
I can't keep living at their mercy.
766
00:37:44,644 --> 00:37:46,994
I wanna shut them up and shut them down,
767
00:37:47,821 --> 00:37:49,779
once and for all.
768
00:37:55,307 --> 00:37:56,743
Didn't hear you come in last night.
769
00:37:59,137 --> 00:38:02,270
I presume Polly's on her
way back to New York City?
770
00:38:02,314 --> 00:38:03,619
Yes.
771
00:38:04,968 --> 00:38:06,100
And I'm so jealous.
772
00:38:06,144 --> 00:38:09,408
She has... freedom,
773
00:38:10,104 --> 00:38:11,453
a career she loves,
774
00:38:11,497 --> 00:38:13,020
someone in her life who worships her.
775
00:38:13,063 --> 00:38:15,414
That's more than any
one of us here can say.
776
00:38:15,457 --> 00:38:17,416
Don't pick a fight with me, Elizabeth.
777
00:38:17,459 --> 00:38:18,591
I'm not in the mood.
778
00:38:18,634 --> 00:38:20,462
So when are you going to stop?
779
00:38:22,421 --> 00:38:24,858
Stop sabotaging our family?
780
00:38:24,901 --> 00:38:26,990
- Oh, is that what you think I'm doing?
- Well, isn't it?
781
00:38:27,034 --> 00:38:30,907
Did you forget when you
disowned me as your daughter?
782
00:38:30,951 --> 00:38:33,910
- Oh...
- You drove Polly away.
783
00:38:33,954 --> 00:38:36,870
We couldn't even have
one night together,
784
00:38:36,913 --> 00:38:39,089
the three of us,
because of your hang-ups.
785
00:38:39,133 --> 00:38:40,221
- Oh...
- You know what?
786
00:38:40,265 --> 00:38:44,225
You are a sad, lonely woman.
787
00:38:44,269 --> 00:38:46,271
And it is all your own doing.
788
00:38:46,314 --> 00:38:47,794
But I'll tell you this, Mom,
789
00:38:47,837 --> 00:38:50,275
I am not giving you any
more power over my life
790
00:38:50,318 --> 00:38:52,015
because you will ruin it.
791
00:38:52,059 --> 00:38:54,017
I'm going to do exactly what Polly did.
792
00:38:54,061 --> 00:38:56,890
And the second I can
leave this town, I'm gone.
793
00:38:56,933 --> 00:38:57,933
Fine.
794
00:38:58,370 --> 00:38:59,632
Go!
795
00:38:59,675 --> 00:39:02,591
Oh, you should know, after last night,
796
00:39:02,635 --> 00:39:04,506
I'm thinking of following
in Polly's footsteps
797
00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:06,116
and becoming a burlesque dancer, too.
798
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,207
Except maybe I'll take
off all my clothes.
799
00:39:09,250 --> 00:39:11,034
And then what will
you tell your friends?
800
00:39:11,078 --> 00:39:13,689
Or will you just pretend
that I don't exist
801
00:39:13,733 --> 00:39:15,517
or that I died tragically?
802
00:39:15,561 --> 00:39:16,953
- Elizabeth...
- It doesn't matter
803
00:39:16,997 --> 00:39:18,694
because I won't be in this house.
804
00:39:18,738 --> 00:39:20,174
I will be far away from you
805
00:39:20,218 --> 00:39:23,873
doing whatever I want,
and you can't stop me.
806
00:39:44,938 --> 00:39:47,157
I'm surprised it took
you this long to do that.
807
00:39:54,861 --> 00:39:56,166
So what happens now?
808
00:39:57,603 --> 00:40:00,823
Well, if we don't follow their code,
809
00:40:00,867 --> 00:40:04,262
we can't publish our comics
with their "Seal of Approval."
810
00:40:04,305 --> 00:40:05,654
And if we can't get that,
811
00:40:05,698 --> 00:40:07,700
then publishers won't print our comics.
812
00:40:07,743 --> 00:40:09,441
Distributors will not ship them,
813
00:40:09,484 --> 00:40:11,269
and newsstands will not sell them.
814
00:40:11,312 --> 00:40:15,577
So, we either follow
their cock-eyed rules,
815
00:40:15,621 --> 00:40:17,405
or we go the way of the dodos.
816
00:40:19,712 --> 00:40:21,453
How could I have been so naive?
817
00:40:23,150 --> 00:40:27,676
I, I really thought that
there was a way through this.
818
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:29,983
You weren't naive, Jughead.
819
00:40:31,289 --> 00:40:33,900
You were fighting for what's right.
820
00:40:33,943 --> 00:40:35,858
For what this country stands for...
821
00:40:37,164 --> 00:40:39,427
or what it's supposed to stand for.
822
00:40:39,471 --> 00:40:42,038
Well, shucks,
823
00:40:42,082 --> 00:40:43,605
who even needs the Russian invasion
824
00:40:43,649 --> 00:40:45,433
when we're happily destroying ourselves?
825
00:40:45,477 --> 00:40:48,480
Don't you worry, Nick Charles,
we'll figure something out.
826
00:40:48,523 --> 00:40:49,742
Oh, "we" will?
827
00:40:51,961 --> 00:40:52,961
I mean,
828
00:40:54,529 --> 00:40:55,922
I just sort of said that
829
00:40:55,965 --> 00:40:57,140
to say something.
830
00:41:00,579 --> 00:41:03,582
But here we find ourselves...
831
00:41:04,974 --> 00:41:05,974
once again,
832
00:41:07,237 --> 00:41:08,935
just the two of us.
833
00:41:11,111 --> 00:41:12,111
We...
834
00:41:13,113 --> 00:41:15,202
kind of blew it last time, didn't we?
835
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:18,945
We did.
836
00:41:22,035 --> 00:41:23,036
But as I said...
837
00:41:26,169 --> 00:41:27,170
here we are again.
838
00:41:29,085 --> 00:41:31,000
Here we are again.
839
