Quotes 

• Veronica Lodge : [at party, where Betty has refused to do drugs]  Come on, Betty, don't be such a wallflower. You're boyfriend-less for a night. Have some fun.

  Betty Cooper : Like you, you mean? I was gonna say you're making a fool out of yourself, just acting like some privileged, shallow, airhead party girl.

  Veronica Lodge : [scoffs]  Excuse me?

  Betty Cooper : Yeah.

  [gets up] 

  Betty Cooper : I mean, it's all just recycled banter...

  [looks at the Pussycats:] 

  Betty Cooper : and plunging necklines, and throwing shade to distract us all from the fact that there's really nothing going on underneath.

  Archie Andrews : Betty, what the hell are you saying...?

  Betty Cooper : What we're all thinking. That the only reason Veronica hangs out with us is circumstance. She's not our friend. The *minute* someone from her trashy past shows up, she starts using us for drugs, or music, or distraction. And why should we be surprised? Like father, like daughter, right?

  Veronica Lodge : You better shut it down, Betty.

  Betty Cooper : Or what, Veronica? You'll have your Dad put a hit on me? Or maybe you'll do it yourself. Because you may have fooled all of them, but not me.

  [shakes her head] 

  Betty Cooper : Try to reform all you want, but you're a bad person, Veronica.

  [shrugs] 

  Betty Cooper : You'll always be a bad person.

  Veronica Lodge : Why don't you just go then, if I'm such a monster?

  Archie Andrews : [as Betty leaves]  Veronica...

  Veronica Lodge : I'm fine. Obviously, she's not. Wait, you wanna go after her? Be my guest. I'll be damned if I'm chasing Betty down after that - Whatever it was.
