Quotes 

• Betty Cooper : [to cruising Kevin]  Moose and Midge were shot literally three hundred yards from Fox Forest, and the person who did it is still out there. Tell me you won't go back there, at least not until he's caught.

• Betty Cooper : Hey. What happened last night? You said you were coming to Veronica's.

  Kevin Keller : Yeah, something came up.

  Betty Cooper : [knowing smile]  Something in the woods?

  Kevin Keller : Betty, don't... take this the wrong way, but... how many years did I listen to you go on and on about Archie and now Jughead? Did you ask my permission to date them? No. You didn't need it. And I don't need yours.

  [they are unaware that smirking Cheryl is overhearing them] 

  Betty Cooper : Dating is one thing. This is...

  Kevin Keller : It's none of your business.

  [picks up his schoolbooks] 

  Kevin Keller : I'll, uh,

  [scoffs] 

  Kevin Keller : I'll catch you later.

  [walks away] 

  Cheryl Blossom : So, button-down Kevin Keller has a sex-drive. So what?

  Betty Cooper : So, it's putting him in danger. Why won't he just stop?

  Cheryl Blossom : Oh, Betty. How little you know of the human psyche. Kevin used to be a lonely awkward fat boy with acne. Now he's a smoke-show.

  Betty Cooper : And?

  Cheryl Blossom : In his mind, he's still that unattractive Pugsley. Kevin wants validation, connection, even if he has to find it in the woods. Even with a killer on the loose. Even if you don't approve.

• Kevin Keller : Oh, my God. What are you guys doing here?

  Betty Cooper : Cheryl called me, and said that it looks like you were going for a jog, headed towards Fox Forest.

  Cheryl Blossom : Fact.

  Cheryl Blossom : [steps closer]  You said you weren't gonna do this anymore.

  Kevin Keller : For God's sakes, Betty, what... what do you want from me?

  Betty Cooper : I want you to have more respect for yourself than this.

  Kevin Keller : [laughter in his voice]  Respect for myself?

  Betty Cooper : Yes.

  Kevin Keller : Look, we have been friends for a long time, but you still have no idea...

  Betty Cooper : Well, then tell me, Kev, please.

  Kevin Keller : You act like we got the same set of options, but we don't. You live in this pale-pink world of milk shakes and first kisses and "Am I gonna date Archie or Jughead?"

  Cheryl Blossom : *Except* for when she's Dark Betty.

  Kevin Keller : Right, right. Except for when you're exploring your BDSM sexuality, which again, you're allowed to do, but I'm not, because why? *This* is what I got, Betty. Me, these woods. So, please don't come here and tell me it's disgusting. If you can't accept what I do, whatever I do, then we're just... We're not really friends!
