Tom: (firmly) Jay, glad you made it. First day on the job, let's get you acquainted.
[As Jay settles into his new role, Tom provides clear instructions, emphasizing the importance of responsibility and trust in their tight-knit community.]
Tom: We're a team here, Jay. Look out for each other, and the town will look out for you.
[As Jay familiarizes himself with his duties, Tom decides to introduce him to Kevin Keller, the sheriff's son and a familiar face in Riverdale.]
Tom: Kevin, this is Jay Halstead. He's joining us at the Sheriff Station.
Kevin: (coldly) Hey.
[Kevin's tone is distant and reserved, creating an immediate tension in the room. Jay, unfazed, extends a polite greeting.]
Jay: Hey, Kevin. Nice to meet you.
[Tom, sensing the strained atmosphere, decides to address it.]
Tom: Kevin, Jay's here to work with us. Let's make him feel welcome.
[Despite Tom's attempt to diffuse the tension, Kevin remains distant, his coldness casting a shadow over Jay's first day.]
