"Personal grooming habits?" "What's changed is I have completely lost interest." "And ladies, I blame you." "Becky-- more silicone falsies." "Got it, Coach." "You will each enhance your bust with an additional pair of chicken cutlets, in an attempt to add some jiggle to what is the most boring routine I have ever witnessed." "But Coach Sylvester, this is the most elaborate routine the Cheerios!" "have ever done." "We're shoo-ins at Regionals next week, and we're the favorite to win at Nationals." "And yet I am still so very bored." "Even things I used to think were hilarious..." "Case in point." "Sandbags, slap yourself with a chicken cutlet." "(sighs)" "Now slap Brittany." "See?" "Not even a chuckle." "The problem is you keep trying to make a bigger and bigger spectacle."

"What's that supposed to mean?" "This is kind of hot, actually." "It means that maybe the reason everyone hates us is because we need some new leadership." "Face it, you've had your feet in both worlds for a year, and never been able to bring them together." "Maybe someone else could." "What, as in maybe you?" "As in yes." "Well, maybe we should settle this right now." " Bring it." " Brung." "Want some more of that?" "Huh?" "Yeah." "You like that?" "Huh?" "Really, guys?" "Really." "Hey, hey!"

"How the hell you going to play with five guys, huh?" "You have got to be kidding me." "What the hell are they doing?" "What you don't have the balls to do." "Stupid." "(cheering, whooping)" "Are you ready for this?" "Let's kick some ass!" "(all cheering)" "(blows whistle)" "Punch and Judy on one." "Ready?" "Break!" "PUCK:" "Break." "MERCEDES:" "Who's Judy?" "Let's go!" "Where do I go?" "Stand right there." "What do I do?" "You're gonna die." "Blue 42!" "Blue 42!" "Down!" "Set!" "Hike!" "(yelling)" "(whistle blows)" "Damn it." "(whistle blows)" "(fans groaning)" "What happened?" "What happened?" "Is it over?" "(fans booing)" "All right." "How's everyone doing?" "Kill me now, I'm gonna die." "Is anyone else tired of lying down all the time?" "I want to play." "Just don't get ahead of yourself, okay?" "Ready?" "Break." "All right, guys." "Let's go!" "Down!" "Blitz." "Blitz." "Watch." "Set!" "Hike!" "Get the ball!" "Get the ball!" "Get the ball!" "Come on!" "Get it!" "Get it!" "Go, go, go, go!" "(cheering)" "Go, go!" "Go!" "Go, go, go!" "(whistle blows)" "Go!" "Tina?" "Oh, no." "Is she breathing?" "Did we win?" "(fans cheering, applauding)" "FINN:" "We're still in this." "Give it up, Finn." "Our only shot at redemption right now is to kick butt at the halftime show." "Sam!" "Come here." "I need you to play quarterback for the rest of the half." "Okay." "Puck, when the half ends, you gotta go convince Karofsky and the rest of the guys to do the halftime show with us." "How the hell am I supposed to do that?" "Figure it out." "You're my wingman, right?" "I got tone, Mav." "Where are you going?" "Can't have a halftime show without cheerleaders." "I'm gonna die." "It'll be worth it." "FINN:" "Hey!" "What are you doing here?" "Stopping you from going to Sue's Regionals competition." "You guys got to come to the game with me." "Haven't you been paying attention?" "If we're not Cheerios!" ", we're nothing." "You think that, but it's not true." "You joined Cheerios!" "to be popular, but you joined Glee Club because you loved it." "Sue doesn't care about you guys." "She's fine killing Brittany." "Tell me honestly." "If you didn't think it would hurt your reputation, which would you choose?" "Glee Club." "I know you, and you don't think you are, but you're strong enough to do this." "Okay." "Okay?" "Okay." "What about you, Santana?" "Screw her-- she put me on the bottom of the pyramid." "Come on, we've only got a few minutes." "No time for a foursome, ladies." "Bus leaves in five." "We quit Cheerios!" "You can't quit Cheerios!" "It's blood in, blood out." "Now get your sweet little cans on that bus." "We still quit." "You're my stars." "If you leave, I have no performance!" "Sucks for you." "Looking good out there, Puck." "You know what?" "I don't want to hear it, Karofsky." "I don't want to hear it from any of you." "You're all a bunch of cowards." "Coward losers." "Yeah, you're the only loser losing this game." "You know, this is it." "This is the moment of our lives." "This is the one we can actually look back and tell our children about." "This is our moment to actually win something, and you guys are sitting in the damn stands!" "I mean, you're so afraid of being called geeks or losers or gay, that you settle for being nothing." "Well, we still have a whole half to play." "And wean win this, guys, I know it." "What's the point, man?" "Beiste isn't going to let us play." "She will if you come out and perform at the halftime show." "I'm in." "Me, too." "No way." "Come on, man, I really want to win this game." "It would mean so much to my dad, man." "Forget it, okay?" "Glee Club sucks." "Fine, Karofsky's out." "Whatever." "But the rest of you need to get in your zombie makeup and hit the field toot sweet." "Come on, let's go!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Come on!" "Let's do this!"

"I'm hanging in there, thank you." "I know it's painful, but... can you take me back to the moment when you knew you had lost what would have been a record seventh consecutive National Championship, landing you this interview as "Loser of the Year"?" "I thought this was the "Ten Most Fascinating."" "That's Barbara Walters." "In the voting, you beat out the following losers:" "the economy," "Mel Gibson, the housing market," "Dina Lohan, Wall Street," "Tiger Woods, the Dallas Cowboys," "Brett Favre's cell phone, nine percent unemployment, and Sparky Lohan, who is Dina Lohan's dog and apparently, also a loser." "How do you cope with that?" "I've been drinking a lot of bleach." "Do you regret the choice of attempting to fire a student out of a cannon?" "Other than attracting headlines and launching a national debate on the safety of athletes, was it really worth it?" "Honestly, I was just trying to feel something." "And how do you feel now that the remainder of the annual Cheerios!" "budget is going to the Glee Club?" "I'm sorry?" "Let's take a look." "Whoops, sorry. (jazzy piano playing)" "COURIC (on video):" "After a little song and dance to support the arts," "I sat down with McKinley Glee Club director" "Will Schuester." "I have to say, I'm thrilled."

"Congrats on the MVP." "Oh, thanks." "It was a team effort." "So, listen, uh, there's no way the Glee Club's gonna let you join permanently, until you clean things up with Kurt." "So I was thinking maybe we could go together to Dalton and apologize..." "Who said I want to join the Glee Club permanently?" "I just thought after this week and-and... the way we won the game and the way you came out to dance..." "What do you think?" "We all dance around together and win a football game and everything's gonna change?" "Glee Club's gonna be cool and we're all gonna sing hippie peace songs every morning?" "Maybe." "I-I don't know." "It's a start." "No, dude, it's a finish." "Okay?" "This is high school." "People's memories for good stuff lasts about as long as their Facebook status." "But we've got a chance to really change things here." "I just won the conference championship." "I'm on top." "Why would I want to change things?" "Hey." "Hi." "I never got a chance to thank you." "For helping me do the right thing." "Aw, you would've come to it on your own soon enough." "So, how does it feel being out of the uniform?" "Weird." "Did turn a couple of heads. (chuckles)" "You were amazing this week." "On the field and off." "Reminded me of why I loved you."
