Elizabeth (Betty) Cooper – Character Quotes

— Take it off right now!
— No.
— What did you say to me?
— I do everything for everyone, everything — t be perfect. The perfect daughter, the perfect sister, the perfect student. Can't I do this one thing just for me?

I will never be like you, dad.

– His name is Moose. He's fine.

– But let me help you help Polly.

– No. Spoken like a true good girl who always follows the rules. Well, I don't follow rules! I make them! And when necessary, I break them! You wanna help me get revenge on Chuck, Betty, awesome. But you better be willing to go full dark, no stars. What do you say, in or out?

– Mom...
– I'm not joking, Betty. That family is pure evil. I'm wondering if the Blossoms didn't kill Jason themselves. Sacrificed him to some dark pagan god that they worship in that insane mansion of theirs.

When my father got arrested, it was the worst thing ever. All these... trolls started writing horrible things about us. We'd get letters and e-mails saying that my dad was a thief, my mom was a clueless socialite, and I was the spoiled rich-bitch ice princess. And what hurt the most about it was... the things the trolls were writing... were true. I was like Cheryl. I was worse than Cheryl. So, when my mom said we were moving to Riverdale, I made a pact with myself to use this as an opportunity to become maybe, hopefully, a better version of myself.
