You're not exactly very crass.

[ And he tends to want to look more respectable when it comes to Betty. ]

and not exactly completely wholesome, either.

( aside from hailing from a very all-american apple pie family, that is. betty cooper might play the role of perfect for the sake of appeasing her parents (and herself, on some level), but she's still a teenage girl — and as a teenage girl, she's been subjected to more than one crass locker room conversation initiated by cheryl blossom and a handful of others. )

i've heard worse. besides, it doesn't really count as crass if you're quoting someone else, does it?

There's still a difference. And I like to think of myself as a respectful kind of guy.

[ The kind of guy trying to be worthy of her while still attempting to stay true to himself. It was a fine line kind of balance. ]

I suppose that you do have a point there.
You've heard worse though?

[intellectualize]

there are very few things that would make me think of you as anything less than a respectful kind of guy, jughead jones.

( because loyalty is the betty cooper way, after all. )

try being in the girls' locker room after cheerleading practice. it gets a little scandalous.

( then again, she can't imagine the boys' locker room is any less salacious. )

[ He has to smile at that but he decides not to address it directly -- he can think of a few things, probably. But he is a harsher judge on himself than she would ever be. ]

It's not just makeup and clothes talk, then? I'm shocked.

[ No, he's not really. ]
