Standing in front of a poster advertising a championship fight between "Jake Hurricane" and "Victor Gorilla", Reggie dances around and punches the air. He tells Jughead and Archie that one day he's going to fight Moose, and that Moose won't lay a hand on him. In the next panel, he says that this is because he's light on his feet. Moose walks up behind Reggie and says "Is that so?". Reggie runs off terrified, and Archie says that Reggie was right - he IS quick on his feet.
