多年来 河谷镇一直以自己是"有佩普的小镇"而自豪 For years, Riverdale had prided itself as being the Town With Pep.
安全而淳朴的世外桃源 Safe. Innocent. Utopian.
但经过最近的事件后 But after recent events...
不可否认 暗流在河谷镇下涌动 there was no denying the darkness that churned beneath Riverdale.
不平等 偏见 散布恐惧 The inequality, the prejudice, the fearmongering.
它冒泡到表面 差点爆炸 It had been bubbling to the surface and very nearly exploded.
("莫洛克计划"失败)
重组正在进行中 Now a reshuffling was happening.
（《在路上》）
现在需要新的思维方式和存在方式 Now some new way of thinking, of being, was required.
费瑟黑德校长辞去了他珍爱的职位 Principal Featherhead was stepping down from his cherished post.
官方说法是"出于个人原因" The official story was... "for personal reasons."
但有传言说 But word from the bird
他被一名匿名指控者指认 was that he'd been identified by an anonymous accuser
是布罗森市长的苏联恶作剧从犯 as an accessory to Mayor Blossom's Soviet shenanigans.
由于校长一职突然空缺 With the sudden vacancy in the principal's office,
家长教师协会 开始在全县范围内寻找替代者 the PTA is initiating a county-wide search for a replacement.
希望这位候选人能够胜任 Here's hoping this one makes the grade.
是的 Yes.
鉴于最近的披露以及经过多次讨论 In light of recent revelations and after much discussion,
库珀先生和库珀太太 决定继续以夫妻的身份 Mr. and Mrs. Cooper had decided to continue living on Elm Street
住在榆树大街 as husband and wife.
不过库珀先生会搬进地下室的卧室 Though Mr. Cooper would be moving into the basement bedroom.
老实说 这个决定让贝蒂很困惑 A decision that... frankly, flummoxed Betty.
贝蒂 你现在知道真相了 You know the truth now, Betty.
你当时为什么不离开爸爸 Why didn't you leave Dad back then?
当你最初得知 他和马格斯太太的婚外情时 When you first learned about his affair with Mrs. Muggs?
我不想因为他的轻率行为 破坏我们的家庭 I didn't wanna break up our family over his indiscretions.
我不想让你和波丽 成长的过程中没有父亲 I didn't want you and Polly to grow up without a father.
你现在为什么不和爸爸离婚 Well, why don't you divorce Dad now?
我该怎么办 我和你爸爸的生活已经交织在一起 What am I gonna do? My life is so intertwined with your father's.
这是他的房子 This is his house.
电台不是我的 我连自己的银行账户都开不了 I don't own the station. I can't even open a bank account of my own.
万一 And what a...?
万一你去上大学呢 What about when you go off to college?
我会孤零零的 I'm gonna be alone.
其实 我 You know that I have...
我从来没有一个人生活过 never been alone a day in my life?
和你父亲结婚之前 我一直住在父母家里 I lived in my parents' house until the day that I married your father.
现在就剩我们三个了 孩子们 It's just the three of us now, children.
愿你们那白痴父亲和毒蛇母亲 余生都烂在 May your idiot father and viper mother both rot in a Russian gulag
俄罗斯集中营里 for the rest of their miserable lives.
真希望你的话能成真 奶奶 From your lips to Moloch's ears, Nana.
我就一直觉得爸爸妈妈有些古怪 I always knew there was something squirrelly about Mom and Dad.
与此同时 我们有责任 In the meanwhile, it's up to us
确保布罗森家族 像凤凰一样从灰烬中重生 to ensure that the Blossoms rise from the ashes like phoenixes.
我完全同意 I wholeheartedly concur.
放心 我很清楚 我的第一项任务是什么 And, rest assured, I know exactly what my first order of business will be.
费瑟黑德走了 谁来管理这个"精神病院" So, with Featherhead gone, who's gonna run the asylum now?
我不想听起来像胆小鬼 但如果是沃瑟斯医生怎么办 Well, not to sound like Chicken Little, but... what if it's Dr. Werthers?
一定有更好的人选 There's gotta be better candidates out there.
比如铁钩船长 Like Captain Hook?
或者哥斯拉 Or Godzilla?
只要他们不叫我叔叔帮忙就行 Just so long as they don't ask my uncle to step up.
我其实知道一个完美的人选 I actually know the perfect candidate,
但我们需要家长教师协会的支持 but we would need support from the PTA to push it through.
当然了 我妈是家长教师协会的主席 My mom's president of the PTA, of course.
她可是很难被说服 Well, that's a brick wall.
上次我们向你妈求助时 她拒绝了我们 The last time we appealed to your mom's better angels, she let us down.
没错 但我觉得 我们应该再给她一次机会 She did, but I think that we should give her another chance.
从那之后她变了很多 A lot has changed for her since then.
与此同时 我要去拜访一下莫迪医生 Well, in the meantime, I'm going to pay a house call on good old Dr. Moldy.
我就知道 费瑟黑德才刚走不久 Oh, I knew it. Featherhead is barely out the door
你就想霸占他的办公室 and you're already trying to take his office?
你有什么打算 你要把我们当小白鼠研究 So, what's the plan? Are you going to study us like lab rats
还是像赤脚医生莫罗一样 在我们身上做实验 or experiment on us like some two-bit Dr. Moreau?
真是的 琼斯先生 我没兴趣当这所学校的校长 Alas, Mr. Jones, I have no interest in being principal of this school.
不 我要去华盛顿做正经事 No, I'm off to do real work in Washington.
我将在总统的下设机构任职 I'll be serving on the president's subcommittee
调查青少年犯罪的原因 looking into the causes of juvenile delinquency.
具体来说 它与漫画书以及其他 Specifically its links to comic books and other...
颠覆性大众文化的关系 subversive forms of popular culture.
天啊 出去的时候别被门撞到 Well, golly. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
别担心 Oh, fear not, though.
我的法庭仍会负责 监管漫画书的重要工作 My tribunal will still be doing the important work of regulating comic books.
-你是说审查它们 -事实上 -Censoring them, you mean. -As a matter of fact,
这是我们对你们最新一期的回应 here is our response to your latest issue.
上面列有我们拒绝的原因 Which we rejected, for the reasons outlined herein.
祝你和你在佩普漫画的同事好运 Good luck to you and your colleagues at Pep Comics.
趁它还在 While it still exists.
该死 莱德 你还宝刀未老 Damn, Red. You still got it.
我太兴奋了 雷吉 I'm just buzzing, Reg.
兴奋 Buzzing.
这周早些时候 格兰迪老师让我们看《在路上》 Earlier this week, Mrs. Grundy told us to read On the Road
节奏之王杰克凯鲁亚克的作品 by king of the Beats, Jack Kerouac.
让我对一切有了清晰的认识 Brought everything into focus for me.
"一如往常 我惊讶于 "I was surprised, as always,
离开有多轻松 by how easy the act of leaving was.
以及那感觉有多好 And how good it felt.
世界突然充满了可能性" The world was suddenly rich with possibility."
-你真的中毒了 -应该是吧 雷吉 -You really got the bug, huh? -Yeah, I guess I do, Reg.
以至于今年夏天 我要去搭火车去旅行 So much so that this summer I'm gonna ride the rails. Hit the trails.
我会成为流浪作家 I'm gonna be a vagabond writer.
乘火车旅行 探索这个国家 睡在星空下 Hop trains, explore the country, sleep under the stars,
然后写下我的经历 不管它们会带我去哪里 and then write about my experiences, wherever they may take me.
-你妈妈会怎么说 -我妈妈什么也不会说 -And what's your mom gonna say about that? -My mom can't say diddly-squat,
因为我在放暑假 'cause I'm doing this during summer vacation.
好吧 Well...
乘火车旅行比不上 参加世界上最好的篮球训练营 jumping trains doesn't beat going to the best basketball camp in the world,
但你开心就行了 阿奇 but if it floats your boat, good on you, Arch.
作为临别礼物 沃瑟斯医生 驳回了《泽普漫画》第42期 So, as a parting gift, Dr. Werthers rejected Zip Comics Number 42?
他的理由是什么 And what was his rationale, may I ask?
一定是因为最后一期的故事 Well, it's gotta be because of the last story in that issue.
-《彗星》 -什么 -"The Comet." -What?
-但那个故事相当精彩 -我知道 -But that one's the cat's pajamas. -I know.
这是根据WEB迪布瓦的一个故事改编 It's based off a W.E.B. Du Bois story
泰贝莎上次回来时跟我讲的 that Tabitha clued me into last time she was in town.
那个故事很浪漫 很有哲理 It's so romantic and philosophical.
一颗彗星击中纽约市后 After a comet hits and destroys New York City,
一男一女走到一起 陷入爱河 a man and a woman come together and fall in love.
他们反对一个黑人男性 和一个白人女性爱上彼此 Their problem is that it's a Black man and a white woman who find each other.
我都还没告诉菲尔斯顿先生 我觉得他会崩溃 I haven't even told Mr. Fieldstone yet. I think it's gonna crush him.
肯定的 I'm sure.
《彗星》那个故事是一篇杰作 That "Comet" story is a masterpiece.
说实话 我读到后的第一反应是 Honestly, my first thought when I read it was,
"拍成电影后一定会很棒" "This would make for a fantabulous movie."
好的 Well...
如果有人想联系迪布瓦的代理人 if anyone wants to get in touch with Du Bois' representatives,
我有他们的所有信息 I have all their information.
只是顺便一提 Just saying.
（彗星）
妈妈 这是你做出正确选择的机会 Mom. This is your chance to do the right thing.
弥补我求你报道爱默特提尔一事时 你袖手旁观的态度 To make up for sitting on your hands when I asked you to report on Emmett Till.
我知道你很后悔 I know you regret that.
库珀太太 Mrs. Cooper,
河谷镇高中合并后 when Riverdale High integrated,
镇上的三所黑人学校都关闭了 three of the Black schools in town shut down.
突然之间 数十位优秀的老师被踢出学校 And suddenly dozens of great teachers were kicked to the curb.
有个杰出的教育工作者 去年一整年都在开出租车 There's this incredible educator who spent the last year driving a cab...
姑娘们 我很想帮忙 但其他家长教师协会成员 Girls, I would love to help, but the rest of the PTA...
妈妈 Mom.
让他们明白 Make them understand.
河谷镇正处于一个转折点 现在是重新开始的时候了 Riverdale is at a turning point. Now is the time for a fresh start.
早上好 同学们 Morning, students.
我知道你们这一年都过得很艰难 I know you've all had a difficult year.
我知道你们的前任校长 I know your previous principal...
不太愿意改变 不愿意接受新想法 wasn't exactly open to change, to new ideas,
不愿意解决所有学生的需求 to addressing the needs of all his students.
好吧 Well...
我澄清一下 let me make one thing clear.
我为每个学生而来 I'm here... for every student.
话虽如此 That said...
我们面临的挑战是巨大的 系统性的 the challenges that face us are enormous and systemic,
如果你不是解决方案的一部分 那你就是问题的一部分 and if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem.
所以我向你们提出挑战 So I challenge you all:
要善良 Be kind.
要体面 Be decent.
要做得更好 Be better.
我们开始行动吧 Now, let's get to work!
（校长室）
-韦德比校长 -在 -Principal Weatherbee? -Yes.
嗨 我是阿奇 阿奇安德鲁斯 Hi. I'm Archie. Archie Andrews.
请坐 Please, sit.
有事吗 安德鲁斯先生 What can I do for you, Mr. Andrews?
以前有个一流的老师在这里工作 Well, there used to be a teacher who worked here, a real top-notch teach.
她被诬告为共产党员 She was falsely accused of being a Communist,
因此被解雇 and she was fired for it.
-她叫桑顿 桑顿老师 -我很了解伊迪丝桑顿 -Her name's Mrs. Thornton. -I know Edith Thornton very well.
她是个优秀的教育工作者 She is a wonderful educator.
我知道 所以我才希望 I know. Well, that's why I was hoping that...
我看看能不能纠正这个错误 Let me see if I can't right this wrong.
让伊迪丝回来 Get Edith back here.
那就太好了 韦德比校长 Well, that would be swell, Principal Weatherbee.
-谢谢 -不客气 -Thank you. -You're welcome.
抓紧你们的绒球 我亲爱的拉拉队员们 Hold on to your pom-poms, my beloved paper-shakers,
因为我回来了 because I'm back!

我们也想 And we also...
生活在光明中 Want to live in the light.
菲尔斯顿先生 抱歉我没有早点告诉你 Mr. Fieldstone, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
我明白 孩子 我明白 I get it, kid. I get it.
"因不提倡传统的美国价值观 而被驳回" "Rejected for not promoting traditional American values."
你知道这是什么意思吗 You know what that's code for?
他们不想看到黑人男性 和白人女性在一起 They didn't wanna see a Black man and a white woman end up together.
-那我们现在怎么办 -什么意思 -So, what do we do now? -What do you mean?
我们不盖章出版 这是我们的风格 We publish without the damn seal. That's what we do.
让全世界都看懂 希望有最好的结果 Send it out in the world and hope for the best.
我就希望你会这么说 I was hoping you'd say that.
根据销售量 我在想下次我们可以 And depending on the sales, I was thinking next time we could...
没有下次了 孩子 There's not gonna be a next time, kid.
不 我受够了 不想坚持了 No, that's it for me. I'm done.
这是我编辑过最棒的漫画 I mean, this is the best comic I ever put together.
这是一件艺术品 It's a work of art.
它其实表达了一些东西 I mean, it actually says something.
法庭根本不在乎 And that tribunal couldn't care less.
所以让这本漫画书 So let the comic...
成为佩普的绝唱 be Pep's swan song.
没有比这更好的了 I can't imagine a better one.
与此同时 In the meantime...
你能帮我个忙吗 孩子 would you do me a favor, kid?
你能帮我写最后一篇社论吗 Would you write the last editorial?
把它当成我们的悼词 Think of it as our eulogy.

我也住在汽车旅馆 Uh, I'm staying in the motel as well, and, uh...
我房间的淋浴坏了 所以你爸让我用他的 the shower in my room is on the fritz, so, you... Your dad let me use his.
是的 Yeah.
好 Right.
你想进来喝点东西吗 You wanna come in, grab a flop?
不了 Um, no. No, um...
我该走了 I should probably cut out.
妈妈 Mom?
我有东西要给你看 I have something that I wanna show you.
是什么 贝蒂 What is it, Betty?
我写了一本书 I wrote a book.
天啊 好的 Goodness. Yes.
没错 我看到你上封面了 You... You did. I see that you're on the cover.
穿着内衣 In undergarments.
我真的很希望你能读一读 I really, really want you to read it.
标题上写着呢 是给青少年看的 Mm. It says right there in the title it's for teenagers.
我为什么要读 I mean, why would I read it?
理想情况下 Well, in an ideal world,
我希望你为我写了一本书感到骄傲 I'd love for you to be proud of me for writing a book.
但如果你能读一读 更好地了解我 我就心满意足了 But I'll settle for you reading it just... to get to know me better.
也许通过更好地了解我 你可以更好地了解自己 And maybe by getting to know me better, you might get to know yourself better.
桑顿老师 你回来真是太好了 Oh, it is so great to have you back, Mrs. Thornton.
杰拉尔丁跟我分享了 你最近写的几首诗 Geraldine shared some of your recent poems with me.
我真心希望你能继续写作 I do hope you plan to stick with your writing.
我会的 Oh, I do.
事实上 这个夏天我要进行火车旅行 In fact, this summer, I'm gonna hit the rails.
就像所有垮掉的一代作家那样 Like all the Beat writers do.
我要看看自己能否写出 I'm gonna see if I can get at least one...
至少一首像艾伦金斯伯格作品 一样的伟大诗歌 great big juicy Allen Ginsberg-like poem out of it.
太棒了 Oh, that's wonderful.
你会看到河谷镇之外的世界 You'll see what the world beyond Riverdale is like.
这正是目前 It's exactly what you should be doing
你在磨炼诗人技能阶段应该做的事情 at this point in your development as a poet.
克雷 Clay?
告诉我 Tell me,
你读过《彗星》那个故事吗 have you ever read the story "The Comet"?
当然 读过很多次 Of course. Multiple times, in fact.
我想也是 I figured you would have.
这样的话 In that case,
你觉得改编《彗星》剧本并执导 how would you feel about writing and directing an adaptation of "The Comet"
一部大制作怎么样 as a major motion picture?
这是恶作剧吗 其实我已经研究《彗星》的剧本 Is this a gag? I've actually been fiddling with a screenplay version
很多年了 of "The Comet" for years.
多亏了贾格赫德 Well, thanks to Jughead,
我和迪布瓦的经纪人联系上了 I connected with Du Bois' agents,
结果发现电影版权已经搁置很多年了 and it turns out the movie rights had been languishing for years.
所以我找上了他们 So I snapped them up.
我猜你会对这个很感兴趣 And I suspected you'd be passionate about this.
维罗妮卡 这真是不可思议 Veronica, I can't believe what I'm hearing.
这将会是一场艰苦的战斗 It's going to be an uphill battle.
但我们可以采取一些措施 比如找到合适的大明星 But there are things we can do, like get the right star attached.
比如 Someone like, say...
-西德尼波蒂埃 -西德尼波蒂埃 -Sidney Poitier. -Sidney Poitier.
-没错 -你能接触上他吗 -Precisely. -Can you get to him?
我可能接触不到他 但你我都知道谁可以 I might not be able to get to him, but we both know someone who can.
乔茜麦考伊 Josie McCoy.
但是 克雷 But, Clay...
如果我们要让 西德尼这样的大明星加入 if we're going to attach a big star like Sidney,
你的改编必须让人无可否认 your adaptation needs to be undeniable.
别担心 肯定会的 Don't worry. It will be.
谁需要等到夏天呢 我马上就开始 And who needs to wait for summer? I'll get going right away.
太好了 Wonderful.
这样的话 我打算在四到五年内 In that case, I'm thinking a premiere at Cannes
在戛纳举行首映式 in the next four to five years.
你觉得怎么样 How does that sound?
嘿 Hey.
为什么闷闷不乐的 Why the long face?
我刚收到埃文斯营地的信息 I just got the information packet for Camp Evans.
我的篮球营 My basketball camp.
好吧 Well...
那很好 不是吗 Well, that's great, isn't it?
他们调整了我的日期 Turns out they flip-flopped the dates on me,
刚好赶上农场 and now it's smack-dab in the middle
一年一度的甜玉米收成期间 of our annual sweet-corn harvest back on the farm.
这次你不能不去收割吗 Well, can't you skip the harvest this one time?
我们这一个月收割的玉米 The corn we harvest
能支撑农场一整年 that single month supports our farm for the rest of the year.
我必须回去 There's no way I can miss it.
我父母需要我 My parents need me.
所以我必须忘掉篮球营 So I just... I gotta forget about basketball camp.
好吧 Well...
管他的 the heck with that.
不 No.
雷吉 别担心 我会替你在农场做事 Reg, don't sweat it. I'll take your place on the farm.
别闹了 安德鲁斯 Stop goofing, Andrews.
你有自己的安排 You got other plans.
不管我有什么安排 Well, whatever I had planned,
都没有让你上大学 it's not as important as getting you set up for college.
还有成为职业选手重要 And going pro.
而且 亲力亲为耕作 Besides, working the land with my hands?
回馈大地 Giving back to the earth?
然后靠在干草堆上写下心得 And then writing about it while leaned up against a haystack?
这就是垮掉一代的作家应该做的 I mean, that's exactly what a Beat writer should be doing.
我父母付不起你的工钱 阿奇 My parents won't be able to pay you, Archie.
-这份工作很辛苦 -雷吉 -And it's not easy work. -Reg.
我明白 I got it.
这都是经验的一部分 It's all part of the experience.
你要去埃文斯营地 You're going to Camp Evans.
我去鸭子溪歇歇脚 Let me take up the slack at Duck Creek.
睡在你的谷仓里 学尤克里里 跟你爸妈吃饭 Sleep in your barn, learn the ukulele, break bread with your mom, your dad.
对 Yeah.
好 Okay.
听起来不错 Sounds good.
谢谢 阿奇 Thanks, Archie.
我爱你 雷吉 I love you, Reg.
我也爱你 阿奇 I love you too, Archie.
妈妈 Mom?
怎么了 怎么回事 What is it? What's wrong?
我 I, uh...
我刚看完你的书 I just finished your book.
而且我不知道该说什么 And I'm speechless.
我很高兴你看了 Well, I'm really glad that you read it.
贝蒂 你写了一本书 Betty, you wrote a book.
一整本书 A whole book.
你说得对 And you're right.
我确实更加了解你了 I did get to know you better.
以及所有那些 And all those...
美丽聪明且前途无量的年轻女性 wonderful, intelligent, promising young women.
她们有很多想法 恐惧和痛苦 So full of thoughts and fears and struggles.
以及梦想 And dreams.
她们有抱负 They have aspirations.
是的 没错 Yeah. That's true.
然后我想到了自己 And then I think of myself,
我最大的梦想就是成为河谷镇小姐 and my biggest dream was being Miss Riverdale.
妈妈 你曾经告诉我 你梦想成为一名空姐 Mom, you once told me that you dreamed about being a stewardess.
你想看看世界 认识有趣的人 You wanted to see the world and meet fascinating people
成为有趣的人 and be a fascinating person.
这是一个年轻女孩 Yeah, well, that was a, uh...
很久以前的愚蠢梦想 silly dream from a young girl a long time ago.
不 妈妈 No, Mom.
没有梦想是愚蠢的 No dream is silly.
我知道你觉得一切都太迟了 但事实并非如此 I know you think that it's too late for you, but it's not.
你可以幸福的 You can be happy.
拜托你了 Please, please...
一定要相信这一点 please believe that.
这期杂志很有可能不会出现在报刊亭 Chances are, you won't ever see this issue on a newsstand.
尽管如此 佩普漫画决定发行它 Despite that, Pep Comics has decided to release it.
我们要出版它 这是我们的最后一期 We are publishing this, our final issue,
没有得到漫画书盖章认证 without the Comic Book Code Seal of Approval.
这一期很有可能 会被扔进垃圾堆或篝火里 Most likely, that means this issue will end up in either a landfill or a bonfire.
但佩普漫画拒绝向 不符合美国价值观的审查制度屈服 But we here at Pep Comics refuse to kneel to the un-American censorship
他们专门建立这一制度 压制《彗星》这样的故事 that was specifically drafted to silence stories like "The Comet."
（漫画选集）
我们希望这本漫画书能落入你们手中 We hope that this comic book will find its way into your hands.
希望里面的故事能让你们思考 And, hopefully, the stories in it will make you think.
让你们觉得不那么孤单 And make you feel a little less alone.
佩普漫画给你们留下最后一条信息 So we at Pep Comics leave you with this final message:
拆卸比建造更容易 It is easier to tear down than to build up.
试着当个建造者 而不是破坏者 Try to be a builder, not a destroyer.
请记住这一点 欣赏根据伟大的作家 With that in mind, enjoy this humble adaptation of "The Comet"
WEB迪布瓦的作品 简单改编的《彗星》 by the great author W.E.B. Du Bois,
一个面对难以想象的逆境 a man who faced unthinkable adversity
仍然选择相信世界末日 and still chose to believe that the end of the world
不是必然的结局的人 was not a foregone conclusion.
（继续努力 孩子）
总是有机会有更光明 更好更强大的未来 There is always a chance for a brighter, better, stronger future.
佩普漫画全体员工敬上 这是再见 From all of us at Pep Comics, this is adieu...
但不是永别 but not farewell.
我们会再见面的 We'll meet again.
泰贝莎 Tabitha.
你好 你怎么来了 Hi. What are you doing here?
你好 陌生人 -Hi, stranger. -Oh!
天啊 Gee whiz.
见到你真让人赏心悦目 You're a sight for sore eyes.
你的眼镜呢 What happened to your glasses?
那台电视机怎么在这里 And what's that television doing here?
贾格赫德 我 Jughead,
不是那个跟着全国有色人种协进会 走遍全国的泰贝莎 I am not the Tabitha who's traveling across the country with the NAACP.
我就是那个被你 I'm the Tabitha that you've...
遗忘的泰贝莎 forgotten.
你在说什么 What are you talking about?
坐下 Sit down.
我给你看样东西 Let me show you something.
-我们的故事讲的是一个镇子 小镇 -这是彩色电视机吗 -Our story's about a town. A small town. -Wowee. Is this a color television?
还有住在小镇上的人 And the people who live in the town.
从远处看 它与其他许多小镇别无二致 From a distance, it presents itself like so many other small towns...
那是我的声音吗 Is that my voice?
-全世界 安全 -好好看就是了 -All over the world. Safe. -Just absorb.
正派 淳朴 Decent. Innocent.
然后我会解释一切 And then I will explain everything.
不过靠近一点 你会开始看到下面的阴影 Get closer, though, and you start seeing the shadows underneath.
我们的小镇名叫河谷镇 The name of our town is Riverdale.
（欢迎来到河谷镇 有佩普漫画的小镇）
怎么样 Well?
我想起来了 I remember.
全都想起来了 I remember everything.
为了阻止贝利彗星摧毁河谷镇 That I sent you and everyone back to 1955
我送你和大家回到1955年 to save Riverdale from Bailey's Comet?
当你和你所有的朋友 And that, while you and all of your friends worked
努力让这个时间线 不那么黑暗 虚无和无可救药时 to make this timeline less dark and nihilistic and hopeless,
我在努力解开混乱的 I was trying to untangle the various timelines
其他时间线 that had gotten jumbled?
换句话所 撑起多重宇宙 Shore up the multiverse, in other words.
我们成功了吗 We were successful?
你们成功了 You were.
你们都做得很好 You all did great.
你们所有人与生俱来的正直 All of your collective innate decency,
你们所有的反抗 已经开始重塑这个小镇和这个世界 all of your struggles, have started to reshape this town, this world.
而且它们只会越来越好 And it will just keep getting better and better.
很好 Neat.
太棒了 Awesome.
我猜你也成功了 I assume that you were successful too?
经过多次尝试 After much trial and error,
我发现不可能解开 I realized it would be impossible for me to untangle and...
并拆分所有的时间线 And pull apart all of the various timelines,
所以我将它们合成同一条时间线 so, instead, I wove them all into a single timeline.
也就是这条 This one.
我使用其他时间线的所有能量 And I used all of the energy from all of the other timelines
稳定并加固了这个时间线 to stabilize it and fortify it.
好极了 Great.
是的 It is.
但是 But, um...
既然它现在稳定了 now that it's stable...
我就不能 I can't...
带任何人穿越时间 move anyone through time.
我不能把你们都送回2023年 I can't send you all back to 2023.
所以其他人 So the others...
不会记得之前发生的一切吗 won't remember anything about everything that happened before?
我说过了 我不能让他们穿越时间 但是 Well, I can't move them through time, as I've said,
我能让他们看到 but I can show them.
我能把给你看的东西给他们看 I can show them what I showed you,
然后他们可以决定 and then they can decide
要不要记起自己的 whether or not they want to remember their other...
其他冒险 adventures...
打电话给他们吧 let's call them.
我也只能做这些了 It's the least I can do.
所以我再次召集了我的朋友 So I gathered my friends, again,
我告诉了他们未来的事 and I told them about the future...
虽然我们无法回到之前的生活 and how we couldn't go back to our previous lives
但只要他们愿意 就能记起过去 but they could remember them if they chose to do so
然后再决定是否要保留这些回忆 and then decide if they wanted to keep those memories or forget them.
听着 我知道要消化的东西很多 我把决定权留给你们 Look, I know it's a lot to process, so I'll just leave the decision to you.
感兴趣的话 你知道去哪找我 If you're interested, you know where to find me.
也不知道他们会不会有人 接受泰贝莎的提议并来找我 I wondered if any of them would take me up on Tabitha's offer.
贾格赫德 Jughead.
我抽到了坏签 I drew the short straw.
如果这是真的 我可能会受启发写出一首好诗 If this is real, I figure I might get a good poem out of it.
我自己的版本《嚎叫》 My own version of "Howl."
来吧 Come on.
在未来 这叫刷剧 In the future, this is called "binge-watching."
我们的故事关于一个镇子 Our story's about a town.
小镇 还有住在小镇上的人 A small town. And the people who live in the town.
从远处看 它与其他许多小镇 From a distance, it presents itself like so many other small towns

跟我爸一样 Like my dad.
我和我爸在一起 I was with my dad.
然后他 Then he...
然后他又死了 Then he died again.
好吧 Well...
我答应过其他人会汇报情况 I promised the others I'd report back.
你打算怎么跟他们说 What are you gonna tell them?
我不确定 I'm not sure.
我以为再也见不到我爸了 I didn't think I'd ever see my dad again.
所以 我 So I'm...
我很高兴 I'm glad about that.
但我不知道 他们是否想看到我看到的东西 But I don't know if they'll wanna see what I saw.
话虽如此 如果有人想 他们知道去哪找我 That said, if anyone does, they know where to find me.
嘿 贾格赫德 Hey, Jughead?
阿奇跟我们说了你给他看的东西 Archie told us what you showed him.
我们想看看阿奇看到了什么 We'd like to see what Archie saw.
一起看 Together.
经典的小贝和小薇风格 Classic Bee and Vee style.
我们的故事讲的是一个镇子 小镇 Our story's about a town. A small town.
正派 淳朴 Decent. Innocent.
不过靠近一点 你会开始看到下面的阴影 Get closer, though, and you start seeing the shadows underneath.
我们的小镇名叫河谷镇 The name of our town is Riverdale.
你该多给我们做一下心理建设的 贾格赫德琼斯 You could have prepared us a little more for that, Jughead Jones.
那个世界 There was...
有太多的 so much darkness...
黑暗 in that world.
我的家人呢 And my family?
我父亲是个杀人犯 My father was a killer.
我姐姐 My sister...
被谋杀 was murdered.
然后 And then...

你和我 You and I...
我们曾是恋人 we were together.

我和阿奇在一起 I was with Archie.
我杀了 And I...
我的丈夫查德 killed my husband, Chad.
还有我的父亲 And my father.
你们将看到的是你的过去 也是你的未来 What you're about to see is your past, but it's also your future.
其中有些会让你们感到不安 And some of it will be disturbing.
我们应付得来 We can handle it.
有时候 你们甚至会认不出自己 At times, you might not even recognize yourselves.
凯文和朱利安呢 Where are Kevin and Julian?
凯文问克雷有没有出现在电视上 Uh... Kevin asked if Clay was in any of the stories on TV.
贝蒂告诉他没有 所以他不想来 When Betty told him he wasn't, he didn't wanna come.
当朱利安发现自己 只是电视故事里的一个玩偶时 When Julian found out he was just a doll in the TV stories,
他也不想来 he didn't wanna come either.
但我们其他人 想看看我们的过去 But the rest of us wanna see what our past was like.
没问题 Sounds good.
我们的故事讲的是一个镇子 小镇 Our story's about a town. A small town.

好的 The good.
坏的 The bad.
不好不坏的 The bear.
问题是 你们希望余生 The question is, do you wanna carry this knowledge with you
都背负着这些回忆 for the rest of your lives
还是你们宁愿忘记 or... would you rather forget?
因为我能做到 Because I can make that happen.
因为她是个天使 Because she's an angel.
说到这个 天使泰贝莎 Along those lines, Angel Tabitha...
我能叫你"天使泰贝莎"吗 Can I call you "Angel Tabitha"?
我们一直在讨论这个问题 This is something we've all been discussing,
很想知道 and we were wondering...
我们能不能只记住美好的事情 could we, perhaps, just remember the good things?
忘掉所有的连环杀手 超能力 Forget all the serial killers and superpowers
石像鬼和 and Gargoyle Kings
只记得我们曾经的快乐时光 and just remember the happy times we had?
不是那样的 It doesn't exactly work that way...
实际上 我可以做到 是的 Actually, I can make that happen, yes.
我可以按下重置按钮 I can hit a reset button
只重温美好的回忆 and only reshare the good memories.
你们经历了这么多之后 I think after everything you all have been through,
我认为这是你们至少应得的 you deserve that much, at least.

嘿 Hey! Hey.
现在你要玩失踪了吗 Is this the part where you ghost me?
你不想看电影的结局吗 Don't you wanna see how the movie ends?
我知道结局 你也知道 I know how it ends, and so do you.
留下来 Stay.
不行 I can't.
为什么 Why not?
这个嘛 Well...
这个宇宙里已经有另一个泰贝莎了 there's already another Tabitha here, for one thing, in this universe.
她会怎么样 And what happens to her?
她定居在芝加哥 She settles in Chicago.
她上了商学院 又上了法学院 She goes to business school and then law school.
她在余生生活的方方面面 She's a civil-rights advocate in every aspect of her life
都是民权倡导者 for the rest of her life.
但我们没 But we don't...?
那你更应该留下来 Then that's all the more reason that you should stay.
我们住在一起 We lived together.
我们一起生活过 We had a life together.
-那些都是真的吗 -当然是真的 -Was any of that real? -Of course it was real.
就像现在一样 一切都是真的 全都发生过 Just like this is real. It was all real. It all happened.
嘿 Hey.
（《天使棒球队》 即将上映）
你还记得我们的盛大约会吗 Do you remember our epic date?
在世界末日之前 我们 Before the end of the world, when we...
看了《泰坦尼克号》 然后去老爹餐厅吃饭 watched Titanic and then we ate at Pop's.
我们组建了家庭 And we had a family.
-我们一起变老 -时间泡泡仍然存在 -We grew old together. -That time bubble still exists.
它仍在保护我们 我们拥有过的东西 我们将永远拥有的东西 It's still protecting us, what we had, what we will always have.
但从现在开始呢 But from this point here?
现在前面只有一条路 There is only one path forward now.
这是好事 贾格赫德 相信我 And that is a good thing, Jughead, trust me.
你必须死才能实现这一切 真是糟糕透了 Wow, it really sucks that you had to die to make all this happen.
但是我没死 Except I didn't.
再也不会了 Not anymore.
彗星 末日 这不 The comet, the end times, that doesn't...
那再也不会发生了 That won't happen anymore.
我们都解决了 We all took care of that.
经典的时间悖论 Classic time paradox.
至少让我跟你吻别吧 Could I at least kiss you goodbye?
贾格赫德琼斯 你真懂我 Jughead Jones, you read my mind.
就在眨眼之间 And in the blink of an eye,
天使泰贝莎不见了 Angel Tabitha was gone.
但她给了我们最棒的礼物 But she had given us the greatest gift of all:
我们的回忆 our memories,
最快乐的版本 edited for maximum joy.
那些美好的回忆 The good ones.
那些我们会永远珍藏的片段 The ones we would cherish forever.
虽然我选择不仅仅记住快乐的时光 Though I chose to remember not only the happy times
还有黑暗的时光 but the dark ones too.
作为我们镇的非官方记录者 I figured, as the unofficial chronicler of our town,
我认为这是我的责任 that was my responsibility.
但其实 But, as it happens,
不只是我决定记住一切 I wasn't the only one who decided to remember everything.
还有贝蒂 Betty did too.
更重要的是 More than most,
贝蒂明白生命中充满了喜悦和痛苦 Betty understood that we are made up of moments of both joy and pain,
快乐和挣扎 happiness and suffering,
黑暗和光明 darkness and light,
以及我们一路上积累的所有伤疤 and all the scars we collect along the way.
又一次宇宙大洗牌已经发生 Another cosmic reshuffling had happened.
或者即将再次发生 Or was happening again.
