"hat you missed on Glee:" "Artie made the football team, which is crazy, and Finn's not the quarterback anymore, this new kid Sam is." "Can you believe it?" "Kurt's dad and Finn's mom are dating, and are really happy together, which makes Finn and Kurt sort of like brothers." "They sure yell at each other like brothers." "Why is it so hard for you to understand?" "Sue has a sister, Jean, who she doesn't yell at at all." "I will always love you." "Which sort of makes her the only person" "Sue doesn't yell at." "And that's what you missed on Glee." "FINN:" "It all started a week ago." "I was super hungry, but my mom was gone, so I busted out the George Foreman." "It wasn't making the cool grill marks it used to after" "I tried to use it to dry my shoes, but when it comes to grilled cheese," "I'm not that fancy." "And when I pulled the sandwich out," "I saw the face of God." "Literally." "I had made a Grilled Cheesus." "I'm so hungry." "I'm not the most religious guy." "I sort of worship Eric Clapton and Ochocinco, but this was different, so," "I decided to see what it felt like to, you know, pray." "Dear Grilled Cheesus..." "First of all, you're super delicious." "Please, Grilled Cheesus, please let us win our first football game." "It would mean so much to Artie, and I think you kind of owe it to him." "I mean, you did sort of screw him in the leg department." "And in return, Cheesy Lord," "I'll make sure we honour you this week in Glee Club." "{crowd roaring, players grunting}" "{whistle blowing}" "Thank you, Grilled Cheesus." "Hey, Dad." "Hey, that's my boy." "You forgot your breakfast." "Suzanne Somers says that skipping breakfast is suicide." "What is this?" "It's an egg white wrap on a sprouted wheat tortilla, half a grapefruit and a green drink." "Where's my usual breakfast?" "A Coke and two Slim Jims?" "Yeah." "Breakfast of champions." "Dad, you are not a kid anymore." "You have to start taking care of yourself." "Well, I guess with enough hot sauce, this will all right." "Thanks." "Hey, don't forget, Friday night dinner is 6:00 instead of 7:00 this week." "Carole and Finn are coming over, and she has to work the night shift." "I-I can't do this Friday." "It's Sing-along Sound of Music at the El Royale theatre." "It's a once-a-year event." "And last week, you had to camp out early so you could be first in line for those Grey's Anatomy DVDs." "Season six, Dad." "Okay, those Friday night dinners are a ritual in our family-- one your mom started." "I know, but I'm a teenager." "Friday nights are kind of important to me." "Why are you making me feel guilty about this?" "I, of all people, know how important the relationship is between you and Carole." "Those dinners are more than important." "They're sacred." "Okay, the whole point of having something sacred is that it takes precedence over anything else you got going on." "Sing-along Sound of Music is sacred to me." "What?" "You think I don't know that?" "Okay, wasn't I the one who bought you that Maria bonnet when you were six?" "Okay, the point is, if you start giving up stuff like Friday night dinners, then you got nothing to hold onto." "Okay, let's face it, Kurt." "If we don't schedule it, then we don't hang out." "If we don't hang out, then our lives-- they just go right by each other." "And we don't share very much." "I'm sorry, but I'm not missing something that I look forward to all year just for another dinner." "Maybe we could do it Thursday or something." "I got to tell you, Kurt." "I'm real disappointed in you." "{school bell ringing}" "Mr. Shue?" "I have something to say." "Something happened to me, and I can't really get into it, but it's shaken me to my core." "Oh, my God, he's coming out." "Why, yes, there is a man who's sort of recently come into my life, and that man is Jesus Christ." "That's way worse." "And I know there's others in here who dig him, too." "And so I thought, maybe this week, we could pay tribute to him in music." "You know, pay tribute to Jesus." "Sorry, uh, but if I wanted to sing about Jesus, I'd go to church." "And the reason I don't go to church is because most churches don't think very much of gay people." "Or women." "Or science." "I don't see anything wrong with getting a little church up in here." "I agree." "I've had a really hard year, and I turned to God a lot for help." "I, for one, wouldn't mind saying thanks." "Thanks for what?" "That it didn't come out a lizard baby?" "Whenever I pray, I fall asleep." "Well, guys, maybe our song selections don't have to be about Jesus." "We could do songs about spirituality." "You got a problem with Jesus?" "Oh, I got no problem with the guy." "I'm a total Jew for Jesus." "He's my number one Heb." "What I don't like seeing is people using J-money to cramp everybody else's style, 'cause it seems to me that true spirituality or whatever you want to call it is about enjoying the life that you've been given." "I mean, I see God every time I make out with a new chick." "RACHEL:" "Okay, okay, that doesn't make any sense." "In fact, it's stupid." "Are you calling Mr. Billy Joel stupid?"

"But Sue, children should be allowed to profess whatever faith they choose." "At the BET Awards, but not in a public school." "Sue, I'm trying to help these kids." "Kurt is struggling with some really tough issues." "Well, William, if your kids want to praise Jesus in class," "I suggest they enroll at Sweet Holy Mother of God Academy on I Love Jesus Street, but not here."

"I need to know that my children will be free to worship in the way that I decide is right." "Sure." "Of course." "Yeah, they should totally go to Jew church and... and wear those hats and... and eat that salty orange stuff with their bagels." "Let's lay down on the bed." "Okay." ":" "Finn..."

"And I guess I don't have to-- I think Mary Lou Retton's, like, an orphan or something." "I don't like what Schuster's doing in that classroom even more than usual." "But I can't go to the school board without an official complaint from a student." "So you want me to be your scapegoat?" ":" "No." "You don't understand."

"They were cruel." "They laughed at her." "And so I began to pray." "I prayed every night for her to get better." "And nothing changed." "So I prayed harder." "And after a while I realized it wasn't that I wasn't praying hard enough... it's that no one was listening." "Asking someone to believe in a fantasy... however comforting, isn't a moral thing to do." "It's cruel." "Don't you think that's just a little bit arrogant?" "It's as arrogant as telling someone how to believe in God, and if they don't accept it, no matter how openhearted or honest their dissent, they're going to hell." "Well, that doesn't sound very Christian, does it?" "Well, if that's what you believe, that's fine." "But please keep it to yourself." "So long as you do the same."
