• Hermione Lodge : Veronica? Rough day on the campaign trail?

  Veronica Lodge : How did you find out about that?

  Hermione Lodge : Weatherbee called.

  [gets up from behind her desk] 

  Hermione Lodge : He also read me the flyer that's been going around school. Now do you see why we asked you to keep a low profile? And instead, you're running for student council president? Why?

  Veronica Lodge : Because, Mom...

  [tearfully] 

  Veronica Lodge : I'm out there, every day, facing what you and Daddy have done, what we've done. And maybe if I'm their president... people at school, like Ethel Muggs... or Jughead or... or even Betty... will stop looking at me like I'm just the daughter of criminals. Like I'm a criminal, too. We're out there fighting a holy war, Mom. I need something I can use as a shield

  [shakes her head] 

  Veronica Lodge : against everything that's coming our way. Protection from everybody out there who hates us. Who's out for our blood.

• Hermione Lodge : Any and all goodwill during this election will go a long way. And, Veronica... this campaign isn't gonna be easy. Especially since we had to lead with your father's plans for the prison. Certain people in town and in school are gonna see us as the enemy. So after this celebrity endorsement, let's keep our heads down. Let this storm past, understand?

  Veronica Lodge : Color me a wallflower.
