Was that not
so incredible, Clay?
83
00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:32,245
For first sing-through,
that was the most monster!
84
00:03:32,279 --> 00:03:33,948
You two wrote this song?
85
00:03:33,981 --> 00:03:35,983
And all of the songs
you'll be rehearsing this week.
86
00:03:36,017 --> 00:03:37,785
This is a lot of
music to learn.
87
00:03:37,819 --> 00:03:39,821
Well, for the first time ever,
Principal Featherhead
88
00:03:39,854 --> 00:03:41,956
is open to doing
an original musical
this spring,
89
00:03:41,989 --> 00:03:44,826
as opposed to, say, Oklahoma!
for the millionth time.
90
00:03:44,859 --> 00:03:47,595
So, Kevin and I decided
to write a show about,
91
00:03:47,628 --> 00:03:50,732
well, all of us and our lives
at Riverdale High.
92
00:03:50,765 --> 00:03:53,801
But Featherhead needs to see
a workshop presentation
93
00:03:53,835 --> 00:03:55,570
before he gives it
the official go-ahead.
94
00:03:55,603 --> 00:03:58,506
But why the heck are we playing
seniors in the show?
95
00:03:58,539 --> 00:04:00,541
I mean, we're juniors
in real life.
96
00:04:00,575 --> 00:04:03,177
Well, senior year
is just so much more
kickin' for the storyline.
97
00:04:03,211 --> 00:04:05,780
Teens on the cusp
of the rest of their lives.
98
00:04:05,813 --> 00:04:09,117
But dramaturgically
I'm still the "new girl"?
99
00:04:09,150 --> 00:04:10,952
"Coming in hot"?
Does that make sense?
100
00:04:10,985 --> 00:04:12,920
And why am I a bit player?
101
00:04:12,954 --> 00:04:15,255
And know your groceries,
I'm the best singer
in this damn school.
102
00:04:15,288 --> 00:04:16,524
Fangs is the best singer
in the school.
103
00:04:16,557 --> 00:04:18,458
I'm the best singer
in the school.
104
00:04:18,492 --> 00:04:20,494
You're also Archie's
understudy, Julian.
Don't forget.
105
00:04:20,528 --> 00:04:22,295
And Archie
is the main character.
106
00:04:22,329 --> 00:04:24,232
But you just said
the show was about all of us.
107
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:27,434
Yeah, and Cheryl and I
aren't here to play
glorified chorus girls.
108
00:04:27,467 --> 00:04:30,337
Everyone's gonna have
at least a solo line or two
109
00:04:30,370 --> 00:04:32,774
in the closing number,
which is all about,
110
00:04:32,807 --> 00:04:33,674
wait for it...
111
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:35,342
Prom night!
112
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:38,411
And I am out.
113
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:40,782
I am sorry, Kevin, Clay.
114
00:04:40,815 --> 00:04:42,817
I cannot in good conscience
participate in this.
115
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:44,886
In my opinion,
there is no lower art form
116
00:04:44,919 --> 00:04:46,521
than American musical comedy.
117
00:04:46,554 --> 00:04:47,922
Yeah, I'm gonna
back-window it too.
118
00:04:47,955 --> 00:04:50,091
I've got the looks for acting,
but I'm not much
119
00:04:50,124 --> 00:04:51,458
for singing and dancing.
120
00:04:51,491 --> 00:04:53,628
Okay, that's fine. Not ideal.
121
00:04:53,661 --> 00:04:55,863
Clay and I will
write you both out of the show.
122
00:04:55,897 --> 00:04:58,933
In the meantime, everyone else
is dismissed until tomorrow.
123
00:04:58,966 --> 00:05:00,635
Except for Archie and Julian.
124
00:05:00,668 --> 00:05:04,038
We are going to workshop
Archie's "I want" song.
125
00:05:04,071 --> 00:05:06,040
So hang back, fellas,
would you?
126
00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:13,681
Traditionally,
the "I want" song in a musical
127
00:05:13,714 --> 00:05:16,250
tells the audience
what our hero is searching for,
128
00:05:16,284 --> 00:05:19,352

I don't wanna be a drip,
but it's super distracting
155
00:06:42,270 --> 00:06:43,738
when my understudy is singing
156
00:06:43,771 --> 00:06:45,806
-literally at
the same time as me.
-Oh...
157
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,276
Also, I'm not really
jibing with this song.
158
00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:49,844
That's funny, I am.
159
00:06:49,877 --> 00:06:52,680
Well, Archie, as we said,
this is your "I want" song--
160
00:06:52,713 --> 00:06:54,115
It seems more to me like an
161
00:06:54,148 --> 00:06:55,616
"I don't know
what I want" song.
162
00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:59,086
Not to worry, we can figure
something out. Um...
163
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,056
What do you want
your "I want" song
to be about, Archie?
164
00:07:02,089 --> 00:07:05,259
What do you, Archie Andrews
want to do in real life?
165
00:07:05,293 --> 00:07:08,729
What's your secret
passion or dream?
166
00:07:09,997 --> 00:07:13,034
I... want...
167
00:07:13,067 --> 00:07:15,536
Who is Archie Andrews?
168
00:07:15,569 --> 00:07:17,505
Do you even know
what you want?
169
00:07:17,538 --> 00:07:19,439
Is it romantic?
Do you wanna date Betty?
170
00:07:19,472 --> 00:07:20,908
Do you wanna date Veronica?
171
00:07:20,942 --> 00:07:22,677
Do you really wanna be

172
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:24,444
Or do you wanna
write poetry?
173
00:07:24,477 --> 00:07:26,347
What is it?
All of these things?
174
00:07:26,380 --> 00:07:27,815
Well, I don't know.
175
00:07:27,848 --> 00:07:30,551
But, yeah, I mean,
maybe... Maybe all of them.
176
00:07:30,584 --> 00:07:32,520
No, I'm sorry.
That doesn't work.
177
00:07:32,553 --> 00:07:33,888
The "I want" song
can only be about one thing.
178
00:07:33,921 --> 00:07:35,957
Otherwise, it confuses
the audience.
179
00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:37,992
Not to mention it means
you have a poorly
defined main character.
180
00:07:38,025 --> 00:07:40,061
No biggie, though.
Kevin and I can take
181
00:07:40,094 --> 00:07:41,896
another stab at your
"I want" song, Archie.
182
00:07:41,929 --> 00:07:43,798
But if I don't really know
what I wanna do with my life,
183
00:07:43,831 --> 00:07:45,599
how are you gonna
write a song about it?
184
00:07:45,633 --> 00:07:47,802
Listen, we'll figure it out.
185
00:07:47,835 --> 00:07:50,470
And you are gonna love it.
I promise.
186
00:07:51,973 --> 00:07:54,342
Golly, is there
anything more stressful
187
00:07:54,375 --> 00:07:55,710
than workshopping
a new musical?
188
00:07:55,743 --> 00:07:57,278
Especially when
it's about your friends?
189
00:07:57,311 --> 00:07:58,779
If there is, it beats me.
190
00:07:58,813 --> 00:08:00,982
But you're handling
it all like a champ.
191
00:08:01,015 --> 00:08:03,584
Especially given everything
you're going through
at home with your folks.
192
00:08:06,687 --> 00:08:08,389
Listen, the only reason
I'm getting through any of this
193
00:08:08,422 --> 00:08:10,658
is because of how supportive

you twit.

00:12:27,915 --> 00:12:29,216
Kevin, what is this?
291
00:12:29,250 --> 00:12:31,785
We're all friends,
not frenemies.
292
00:12:31,819 --> 00:12:33,053
And what does
that word even mean?
293
00:12:33,087 --> 00:12:36,023
-I invented it.
-Is this how you see us?
294
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:39,860
Vapid, khaki-wacky girls
fighting over some guy who
295
00:12:39,893 --> 00:12:41,795
doesn't have any
interest in any of us?
296
00:12:41,829 --> 00:12:43,330
Don't worry,
we can work up a new song.
297
00:12:43,364 --> 00:12:45,466
No, we will.
298
00:12:45,499 --> 00:12:47,569
We deserve a song
with more depth,
299
00:12:47,602 --> 00:12:49,203
written from our point of view.
300
00:12:49,236 --> 00:12:51,071
Since when
do you two write songs?
301
00:12:51,105 --> 00:12:53,107
Oh, we're not gonna write it.
302
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:56,645
I'll get one of my Oscar
and/or Tony winning pals
to write it for us.
303
00:12:56,678 --> 00:12:58,879
I'm thinking Cole Porter.
304
00:12:58,912 --> 00:13:00,247
Also, not to pile on,
305
00:13:00,281 --> 00:13:02,082
but this song
was obviously intended
306
00:13:02,116 --> 00:13:04,051
to be a Betty
and Veronica duet.
307
00:13:04,084 --> 00:13:06,987
Which you clearly added us to
at the last minute.
308
00:13:07,021 --> 00:13:09,423
Well, to be fair,
you did ask for
more stage time, so...
309
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:10,924
You know what?
310
00:13:10,958 --> 00:13:13,494
I'm challenging you
to write something truthful.
311
00:13:13,528 --> 00:13:16,163
Not just about Toni and I,
though that would be lovely.
312
00:13:16,196 --> 00:13:19,933
But something more honest
about you two, as well.
313
00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:27,642
All right, we heard
your notes, Archie.
314
00:13:27,676 --> 00:13:29,243
Wow. I didn't
really have any notes.
315
00:13:29,276 --> 00:13:30,878
And we wrote you
a new "I want" song.
316
00:13:30,911 --> 00:13:34,348
Strong musicals
always have a romantic core.
317
00:13:34,381 --> 00:13:35,583
So that's why we decided
318
00:13:35,617 --> 00:13:37,151
to focus on
your quest for love.
319
00:13:38,352 --> 00:13:39,887

00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,955

00:15:22,990 --> 00:15:24,626
I mean,
"Who is Archie Andrews?"
351
00:15:24,659 --> 00:15:26,260
"What does he really want?"
352
00:15:26,293 --> 00:15:28,295
Yes, that's why we focused
your "I want" song
353
00:15:28,328 --> 00:15:30,164
on choosing
between Betty or Veronica.
354
00:15:30,197 --> 00:15:31,566
But it's not that simple.
355
00:15:31,599 --> 00:15:33,568
I mean, that's not
really the big question
356
00:15:33,601 --> 00:15:35,570
that I'm wrestling with here.
357
00:15:35,603 --> 00:15:37,304
In our musical
or in real life?
358
00:15:41,475 --> 00:15:43,243
Fellas, I'm sorry
to do this to you,
359
00:15:43,277 --> 00:15:45,245
but I have to step away
from this musical for a while
360
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:47,615
for my own mental health.
It's too real, too raw,
361
00:15:47,649 --> 00:15:49,349
and...
362
00:15:49,383 --> 00:15:52,052
I have to figure out
some major stuff for myself.
363
00:15:52,085 --> 00:15:53,320
Really, Archie?
364
00:15:54,689 --> 00:15:56,423
Good luck
to you, Archie.
365
00:15:56,457 --> 00:15:58,992
I hope you make
the right decision about...
366
00:15:59,026 --> 00:16:00,528
whatever it is
you need to decide.
367
00:16:01,930 --> 00:16:03,230
Excellent news, Bee.
368
00:16:03,263 --> 00:16:05,332
I just got off
with Cole Porter.
369
00:16:05,365 --> 00:16:08,001
And he is willing to take
a crack at writing us
370
00:16:08,035 --> 00:16:10,270
a little ditty
for Kevin's musical.
371
00:16:10,304 --> 00:16:13,775
Wow. I'm sure whatever
Cole comes up with
will be the tops.
372
00:16:13,808 --> 00:16:16,410
Much better than
"Friday Valentine."
373
00:16:16,443 --> 00:16:21,749
Betty, Kevin's
royal shaft of a song
374
00:16:21,783 --> 00:16:26,453
did bring up something
that's been eating away at me.
375
00:16:27,722 --> 00:16:28,923
Oh, no...
376
00:16:28,957 --> 00:16:30,357
What is it?
377
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:33,895
You recall when
the Red Scare came to town?
378
00:16:33,928 --> 00:16:37,599
-Yeah.
-Well, in a moment
of weakness...
379
00:16:39,534 --> 00:16:42,369
Archie and I kissed.
380
00:16:49,109 --> 00:16:50,410
Do you like him?
381
00:16:54,348 --> 00:16:55,517
I... I do.
382
00:16:57,952 --> 00:16:58,987
But...
383
00:17:00,688 --> 00:17:01,723
I like you more.
384
00:17:04,491 --> 00:17:08,295
I feel closer to you
than anyone else in this town.
385
00:17:09,463 --> 00:17:11,799
I've known Archie
my entire life,
386
00:17:11,833 --> 00:17:14,702
but I feel the same way.
387
00:17:16,436 --> 00:17:20,875
Maybe this is the universe
telling us to swear off Archie
388
00:17:20,909 --> 00:17:22,476
and...
389
00:17:23,377 --> 00:17:25,212
focus on our friendship...
390
00:17:26,814 --> 00:17:27,815
right now.
391
00:17:41,261 --> 00:17:43,932
So, Dad, how is the new cot?
More comfortable?
392
00:17:43,965 --> 00:17:46,166
Yeah.
I'm used to it by now.
393
00:17:47,802 --> 00:17:49,069
How's your mother doing?
394
00:17:49,102 --> 00:17:52,406
All right, I guess,
considering.
395
00:17:52,439 --> 00:17:55,175
-What about school?
-It's fine.
396
00:17:55,208 --> 00:17:57,845
I'm working on that
new musical I told you about.
397
00:17:57,879 --> 00:17:59,479
The one about
you and your friends?
398
00:17:59,514 --> 00:18:00,582
Yeah.
399
00:18:00,615 --> 00:18:02,416
It's... It's just
a workshop right now,
400
00:18:02,449 --> 00:18:05,285
but if Principal Featherhead
digs it,
401
00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:07,589
-we'll do a full production
in the spring.
-Uh.
402
00:18:07,622 --> 00:18:11,325
I keep imagining you,
me and Mom
in the audience
403
00:18:11,358 --> 00:18:13,193
celebrating
my opening night together.
404
00:18:18,231 --> 00:18:20,334
Why don't you
just come home, Dad?
405
00:18:20,367 --> 00:18:22,503
Or just...
just come to dinner?
406
00:18:22,537 --> 00:18:24,606
Heck, one meal,
that's all I'm asking.
407
00:18:24,639 --> 00:18:26,608
So you can talk to Mom.
408
00:18:26,641 --> 00:18:29,443
There's, uh...
There's more to the situation
that you don't understand.
409
00:18:29,476 --> 00:18:32,013
Like what?
I... I want to understand.
410
00:18:32,046 --> 00:18:35,617
It's adult stuff, serious stuff
between your mother and I.
411
00:18:37,417 --> 00:18:40,187
You, uh... You stick
to your musicals
412
00:18:40,220 --> 00:18:42,489
and your...
your singing and dancing.
413
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:53,433
Thanks for
coming back in, ladies.
414
00:18:53,467 --> 00:18:56,269
We heard your feedback.
Accepted your challenge.
415
00:18:56,303 --> 00:18:58,773
And last night, after a...
416
00:18:58,806 --> 00:19:01,141
fraught dinner with my father,
417
00:19:01,174 --> 00:19:02,510
Clay and I regrouped
418
00:19:02,543 --> 00:19:04,512
and cooked up a new song
for the four of us.
419
00:19:04,545 --> 00:19:07,615
We wrote it from the heart,
about people like us,
420
00:19:07,649 --> 00:19:09,917
who have to be careful
about who we love.
421
00:19:09,951 --> 00:19:11,218
We'll kick it off
and then you two
422
00:19:11,251 --> 00:19:12,854
should just
feel free to join in.
423
00:19:12,887 --> 00:19:14,354

Kevin and Clay. Wowza.
464
00:21:30,625 --> 00:21:32,527
You completely
captured the longing
465
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,863
of being in a queer,
interracial relationship
in the 1950s.
466
00:21:35,897 --> 00:21:37,397
Dare I say
this is going to be
467
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:40,400
extremely powerful
once we put it on stage.
468
00:21:40,433 --> 00:21:43,571
Oh, um, Clay and I
wrote this song for you
469
00:21:43,604 --> 00:21:47,175
and... and for us to sing
and enjoy in private.
470
00:21:47,208 --> 00:21:49,110
It's... It's not gonna
be in the musical.
471
00:21:49,143 --> 00:21:50,611
-Why not?
-Why the hell not?
472
00:21:50,645 --> 00:21:52,680
Riverdale's too provincial.
473
00:21:52,713 --> 00:21:54,782
I'm under enormous pressure
from Featherhead
474
00:21:54,816 --> 00:21:56,918
to deliver something
that's mainstream
and commercial and--
475
00:21:56,951 --> 00:22:00,521
But maybe one day,
when the world's
caught up to our song--
476
00:22:00,555 --> 00:22:03,825
In that case, Kevin, Clay,
477
00:22:04,692 --> 00:22:07,595
when the world does catch up,
478
00:22:07,628 --> 00:22:11,299
and this beautiful song
is included in your musical,
479
00:22:11,331 --> 00:22:13,067
Toni and I will be there too.
480
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:15,203
But in the meantime...
481
00:22:15,236 --> 00:22:17,772
we do enough
play-acting in our real life.
482
00:22:18,773 --> 00:22:20,775
So with all due respect,
Cheryl and I
483
00:22:20,808 --> 00:22:23,410
would like to be written
out of Archie: The Musical.
484
00:22:23,443 --> 00:22:25,947
Until we can act
as our authentic selves in it.
485
00:22:27,515 --> 00:22:28,683
Soup or salad?
486
00:22:31,752 --> 00:22:33,287
Archie?
487
00:22:33,321 --> 00:22:35,756
What would you like
with your grilled cheese,
soup or salad?
488
00:22:35,790 --> 00:22:36,757
I...
489
00:22:39,227 --> 00:22:40,761
I don't know, Pop.
490
00:22:41,562 --> 00:22:42,495
I...
491
00:22:44,397 --> 00:22:46,466
I just... I don't know.
492
00:22:46,499 --> 00:22:48,236
Oh, we'll just take both, Pop.
493
00:22:48,269 --> 00:22:49,904
- Thanks.
- All right.
494
00:22:50,838 --> 00:22:51,873
You were saying?
495
00:22:55,676 --> 00:22:58,846
Kevin's writing
this musical about me,
496
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,615
and I don't know why.
497
00:23:00,648 --> 00:23:02,516
I mean,
the character he's writing
isn't the person I am.
498
00:23:02,550 --> 00:23:03,618
Like he's got me
picking between
499
00:23:03,651 --> 00:23:05,052
Betty and Veronica in the show,
500
00:23:05,086 --> 00:23:07,588
but for me, in real life,
the choice is actually
501
00:23:07,622 --> 00:23:10,191
between basketball and poetry.
502
00:23:10,224 --> 00:23:13,127
Ah, the classic conundrum.
503
00:23:14,427 --> 00:23:15,763
You, my friend,
are cuttin' a rug
504
00:23:15,796 --> 00:23:18,900
on what Camus would call
"an existential crisis."
505
00:23:18,933 --> 00:23:19,767
A what now?
506
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,636
Your dilemma is real, Archie.
507
00:23:21,669 --> 00:23:24,138
But it's not about
having to decide
508
00:23:24,171 --> 00:23:27,508
between basketball or poetry,
509
00:23:27,541 --> 00:23:28,643
artist or athlete,
510
00:23:28,676 --> 00:23:30,477
Betty or Veronica, no.
511
00:23:30,511 --> 00:23:35,650
It's... Well, it's about
having to make a choice,
512
00:23:35,683 --> 00:23:37,952
any choice, right now, today,
513
00:23:37,985 --> 00:23:39,486
that could affect
the rest of your life,
514
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,756
and that's... scary.
515
00:23:42,757 --> 00:23:45,626
Especially for a cube like you.
516
00:23:50,197 --> 00:23:51,565
Jeez, Jug, you're right.
517
00:23:53,466 --> 00:23:55,136
That is why I'm so unsettled.
518
00:23:57,071 --> 00:23:58,639
And I'll stay unsettled
until I make a decision.

Here you go, Archie.
A grilled cheese sandwich
528
00:24:33,407 --> 00:24:35,309
with a soup and a salad,
as requested.
529
00:24:35,343 --> 00:24:38,813
Thanks, Pop.
But, uh...
530
00:24:38,846 --> 00:24:41,882
I only want the grilled cheese,
and make it to go, will you?
531
00:24:41,916 --> 00:24:44,618
I gotta have a conversation
with my uncle that can't wait.
532
00:24:44,652 --> 00:24:47,221
I'll take the soup and salad.
Thanks, Pop.
533
00:24:53,194 --> 00:24:57,098
Uncle Frank, I'm not gonna be
on the basketball team anymore.
534
00:25:00,968 --> 00:25:03,137
I wanna focus
more on my poetry.
535
00:25:04,772 --> 00:25:09,543
Is that who you are now,
some kind of beatnik poet?
536
00:25:09,577 --> 00:25:12,813
So you're just gonna
bail on the Bulldogs
halfway through a season?
537
00:25:13,781 --> 00:25:15,383
Well, I need you on the team.
538
00:25:15,416 --> 00:25:16,717
You got Reggie, Uncle Frank.
539
00:25:16,751 --> 00:25:18,185
I mean, he is the team.
540
00:25:21,355 --> 00:25:22,656
Well, I can't approve of it.
541
00:25:22,690 --> 00:25:24,358
I won't approve of it.
542
00:25:24,392 --> 00:25:25,459
You're gonna regret it.
543
00:25:25,493 --> 00:25:27,595
Well, maybe.
544
00:25:27,628 --> 00:25:30,865
Look, Uncle Frank,
if I don't follow my heart,
545
00:25:30,898 --> 00:25:34,402
I'm worried
I might regret that even more.
546
00:25:34,435 --> 00:25:36,704
Respectfully,
I... I've made my choice.
547
00:25:50,217 --> 00:25:51,185
Kevin?
548
00:25:52,353 --> 00:25:54,789
Holy mackerel,
we overslept!
549
00:25:54,822 --> 00:25:56,123
Honey, are you awake?
550
00:25:56,157 --> 00:25:57,658
Just... Quick! The window!
551
00:25:57,691 --> 00:25:59,093
Can I come in?
Just for a quick chat.
552
00:25:59,126 --> 00:26:00,194
Just a second, Mom.
553
00:26:01,562 --> 00:26:02,830
I love you.
554
00:26:06,267 --> 00:26:07,902
Good morning, sweetheart.
555
00:26:07,935 --> 00:26:10,604
-Did you sleep okay?
-Um, yeah, I did.
556
00:26:10,638 --> 00:26:13,140
I'm just, you know,
anxious about the musical.
557
00:26:13,174 --> 00:26:15,643
Oh, I can only imagine.
558
00:26:16,777 --> 00:26:18,446
But... But I was thinking.
559
00:26:18,479 --> 00:26:22,517
What do you say
the three of us
have dinner tonight?
560
00:26:22,551 --> 00:26:25,319
You mean
you, me and Dad?
561
00:26:25,953 --> 00:26:26,854
At Pop's.
562
00:26:26,887 --> 00:26:29,123
We think
it would be good for us.
563
00:26:30,091 --> 00:26:31,926
A... A good step.
564
00:26:31,959 --> 00:26:34,395
Yeah, let's do it.
Sounds great, Mom.
565
00:26:34,428 --> 00:26:36,063
Wonderful.
566
00:26:36,097 --> 00:26:39,633
Now, you get dressed and...
and I'll drive you to school.
567
00:26:49,810 --> 00:26:52,413
So, Veronica,
which one of your famous
568
00:26:52,446 --> 00:26:53,848
Hollywood friends
wrote this song?
569
00:26:53,881 --> 00:26:56,217
Cole Porter did,
as I knew he would.
570
00:26:56,250 --> 00:26:57,651
And I trust you'll agree
571
00:26:57,685 --> 00:26:59,887
it's worthy
of our complexities.

What... What just happened?
623
00:30:00,968 --> 00:30:05,472
Some kind of
energy exchange, I think.
624
00:30:05,507 --> 00:30:08,242
Yeah. A seismic one.
625
00:30:09,843 --> 00:30:11,078
I don't
know what to say,
626
00:30:11,111 --> 00:30:13,914
but I completely felt the pain
627
00:30:13,947 --> 00:30:15,883
of your isolation, your...
628
00:30:15,916 --> 00:30:18,118
your desperate need to be seen.
629
00:30:21,221 --> 00:30:24,191
Now that
that's squared away,
630
00:30:24,224 --> 00:30:27,261
I think we should talk about
whatever just happened
631
00:30:27,294 --> 00:30:30,964
-during that song.
-Okay. Yes. Super. We should.
632
00:30:32,767 --> 00:30:35,069
It felt primal.
633
00:30:35,102 --> 00:30:39,641
I felt the same,
charged and intense.
634
00:30:39,674 --> 00:30:42,376
All this time
we've been thinking,
635
00:30:42,409 --> 00:30:44,512
"When are we going
to climb Mount Archibald?"
636
00:30:46,180 --> 00:30:48,849
-When in fact...
-Maybe there are other,
637
00:30:48,882 --> 00:30:53,588
more... emotionally
complex mountains to climb.
638
00:30:56,691 --> 00:30:58,158
There you both are!
639
00:30:58,192 --> 00:31:00,427
I've been looking all over
to tell you something.
640
00:31:00,461 --> 00:31:03,330
I've been doing
some soul-searching
and, um...
641
00:31:04,699 --> 00:31:06,433
Well, I realized
I've kissed both of you,
642
00:31:06,467 --> 00:31:09,136
- and I'm fond of you both.
- "Fond"?
643
00:31:09,169 --> 00:31:11,972
But I'm in a period of growth
and self-discovery.
644
00:31:12,005 --> 00:31:13,340
So I'm gonna take a little time
645
00:31:13,374 --> 00:31:15,976
and... and not kiss
anyone for a while.
646
00:31:16,009 --> 00:31:17,411
At least,
I'm gonna try not to.
647
00:31:18,780 --> 00:31:21,549
Okay, then. Later, gators.
648
00:31:26,987 --> 00:31:29,624
So we've had a few speed bumps
but now we're jumpin'.
649
00:31:29,657 --> 00:31:31,291
The new Archie, Julian,
650
00:31:31,325 --> 00:31:32,861
he's even better
than the real Archie.
651
00:31:32,893 --> 00:31:34,094
Kevin...
652
00:31:35,630 --> 00:31:38,899
We... We have to talk to you
about something serious.
653
00:31:43,370 --> 00:31:46,974
The papers
are signed, Kevin.
654
00:31:47,007 --> 00:31:48,475
It's all been finalized.
655
00:31:48,510 --> 00:31:51,078
-Your, father and I--
-We're getting a divorce.
656
00:31:55,983 --> 00:31:57,886
So that's it?
657
00:31:57,918 --> 00:32:00,154
You're just...
you're calling it quits?
658
00:32:00,187 --> 00:32:04,893
This isn't something that
can be fixed, unfortunately.
659
00:32:04,925 --> 00:32:06,594
Sometimes a man and a woman
660
00:32:06,628 --> 00:32:09,664
come to find that there are
661
00:32:09,697 --> 00:32:12,232
too many differences
between them.
662
00:32:14,836 --> 00:32:17,104
Sounds like
you've got it all figured out.
663
00:32:17,137 --> 00:32:18,706
Well, if you will excuse me,
664
00:32:18,740 --> 00:32:21,008
we are presenting to
Principal Featherhead tomorrow,
665
00:32:21,041 --> 00:32:22,544
so I've got
a lot of work to do,
666
00:32:22,577 --> 00:32:26,246
and, yeah, thank you
for a swell dinner.

Very well-sung.
709
00:34:28,402 --> 00:34:30,605
Mr. Keller, may I
see you in my office?
710
00:34:36,209 --> 00:34:39,413
Kevin, I'll get right to it.
711
00:34:39,446 --> 00:34:41,749
We're not going to produce
your musical this spring.
712
00:34:45,352 --> 00:34:47,487
Wh... Why?
May I ask why?
713
00:34:47,522 --> 00:34:50,625
In this climate, so soon after
our brush with communism,
714
00:34:50,658 --> 00:34:53,861
we think it's better to do
something more traditional.
715
00:34:53,895 --> 00:34:56,396
Something people
can get behind.
716
00:34:56,430 --> 00:35:00,668
Furthermore, original musicals
are tough sells, Kevin.
717
00:35:00,702 --> 00:35:03,004
I don't wanna say
that the drama club's funding
718
00:35:03,037 --> 00:35:04,839
depends on your
box office receipts,
719
00:35:04,872 --> 00:35:06,406
but if you put up a sign
720
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,944
for Archie, The Musical,
will people come?
721
00:35:09,978 --> 00:35:11,311
I don't know.
722
00:35:11,345 --> 00:35:14,082
But if you put up
a poster for Oklahoma!,
723
00:35:14,114 --> 00:35:17,250
I'm certain
we'd have a complete sellout,
724
00:35:17,284 --> 00:35:18,786
all three performances.
725
00:35:26,193 --> 00:35:27,895
Well, everyone,
congratulations.
726
00:35:29,731 --> 00:35:31,065
We're gonna be like
every other high school
in the world
727
00:35:31,099 --> 00:35:32,332
and do Oklahoma! this spring.
728
00:35:32,366 --> 00:35:34,836
So, enjoy, um,
singing about wheat.
729
00:35:34,869 --> 00:35:37,939
Oh, Kevin, we're so sorry.
730
00:35:37,972 --> 00:35:39,172
Are... Are you sorry?
731
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:41,576
Because all of you nitpicked
732
00:35:41,609 --> 00:35:43,544
every song that Clay
and I wrote for you.
733
00:35:43,578 --> 00:35:46,581
You questioned
our vision at every turn.
734
00:35:46,614 --> 00:35:48,616
And who knows,
if you actually supported me
735
00:35:48,650 --> 00:35:50,217
even a little bit,
we might have pulled it off.
736
00:35:50,250 --> 00:35:51,786
But you didn't.
So, now, all that time,
737
00:35:51,819 --> 00:35:54,122
and energy and effort,
it was all for nothing.
738
00:35:54,154 --> 00:35:55,489
So, thanks for that.
739
00:35:57,125 --> 00:35:59,727
Whoa! What snapped his cap?
740
00:36:05,499 --> 00:36:08,770
That outburst
wasn't just about the musical.
741
00:36:08,803 --> 00:36:11,873
Kevin was gonna give you
the lowdown after the workshop.
742
00:36:11,906 --> 00:36:14,075
But, um, he recently found out
743
00:36:14,108 --> 00:36:17,812
that his parents
are getting a divorce.
744
00:36:17,845 --> 00:36:20,682
That's why he's been pouring
everything he's got
into this show.
745
00:36:25,419 --> 00:36:27,254
I am so sorry all of this
746
00:36:27,287 --> 00:36:29,456
-is happening at once, Kevin.
-Mom.
747
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,628
It isn't my fault, is it?
748
00:36:35,763 --> 00:36:39,299
I feel like all this fighting
between you and Dad
749
00:36:39,332 --> 00:36:41,468
started around...
750
00:36:43,071 --> 00:36:46,074
when Betty and I
were calling it quits.
751
00:36:46,107 --> 00:36:49,143
No. No, Kevin.
752
00:36:49,177 --> 00:36:51,211
What's going on between
your dad and I
753
00:36:51,244 --> 00:36:52,780
has nothing to do with you...
754
00:36:56,784 --> 00:36:58,218
or who you are.
755
00:36:59,620 --> 00:37:01,789
You have nothing
to feel guilty about,
756
00:37:02,924 --> 00:37:03,925
or ashamed of.
757
00:37:06,393 --> 00:37:07,795
You are my son...
758
00:37:09,262 --> 00:37:11,465
and I love you unconditionally.
759
00:37:33,286 --> 00:37:37,725
Hey, Kev, uh, you got a minute?
760
00:37:40,161 --> 00:37:41,729
Well, I wanted to say thanks.
761
00:37:42,964 --> 00:37:44,799
Thank you, buddy.
762
00:37:44,832 --> 00:37:46,033
For what, Archie?
763
00:37:46,067 --> 00:37:48,301
Well, I know
I left you high and dry.
764
00:37:48,335 --> 00:37:51,572
But working on your musical
this week...
765
00:37:51,606 --> 00:37:54,709
made me take
a long, hard look at myself.
766
00:37:54,742 --> 00:37:56,544
Forced me to make
some decisions that...
767
00:37:57,979 --> 00:37:59,379
Well, that I needed to make.
768
00:37:59,412 --> 00:38:01,849
Well, I'm glad
some good came of it.
769
00:38:01,883 --> 00:38:03,751
As I'm sure you've heard,
we're not doing
770
00:38:03,785 --> 00:38:05,820
-Archie: The Musical
in the spring.
-Yeah, I did.
771
00:38:05,853 --> 00:38:08,156
I'm all broke out
with the blues about it.
772
00:38:08,189 --> 00:38:09,524
And I was looking forward
to seeing
773
00:38:09,557 --> 00:38:11,358
how the whole
she-bang would turn out.
774
00:38:14,662 --> 00:38:16,664
And what was...
What was that
you were playing before?
775
00:38:17,330 --> 00:38:18,900
For the musical?
776
00:38:18,933 --> 00:38:21,669
No, it's just something
I stayed up all night writing.
777
00:38:21,702 --> 00:38:25,239
After my mom and I
had a long talk about stuff.
778
00:38:25,273 --> 00:38:27,241
Well, come on.
779
00:38:27,275 --> 00:38:28,576

playing it for me?
