"I-i understand if not." "Yeah, no, i really want to." "It's-it's just..." "If you see dave," "Just don't bring it up, okay?" "Oh, come on." "It's just a song." "He can't be jealous from that." "I know, but i think that he thinks that there's..." "Still something between us." "Which there..." "Obviously isn't." "Obviously." "Anyway, i'll call you." "We'll figure out what we're doing." "We can do something up-tempo." "Or-or slow." "It doesn't matter." "I'm versatile." "Okay." "Cool." "All right." "I'll call you." "Okay." "(school bell ringing)" "Who was it?" "I just heard." "I want names." "Which one of those vocal adrenaline bastards did it?" "What the fall leaves are you talking about, pumpkin?" "Your car," "The vandalism." "Which one of those rock lobsters was it?" "It doesn't matter." "We're gonna kill those guys, coach." "No, you're not gonna kill anybody." "You boys sit down." "Sit down!" "I don't want you guys doing anything about this," "You hear me?" "It's been handled." "It's real sweet that you guys care," "But hurting him isn't gonna fix anything." "It'll teach them not to mess with any of us" "Or we'll destroy them." "(sighs) i've been dealing with ignorant people" "Who couldn't understand me my whole life." "But you know what?" "I couldn't be happier with myself." "How many people get to say that?" "And, spencer," "I'm glad to hear you say that you're one of us." "That's all i've ever wanted to hear" "From you, is that you're more than just a star player" "But that you're really part of this team." "And, sam, you did that." "You united us." "You're a hell of a coach and a friend." "And if one good thing can come out of this whole mess," "Well, then they gave us the best freaking gift" "In the whole world." "(chuckles)" "Coach, look, i'm sorry." "I didn't..." "I didn't mean to disappoint you." "I just..." "I can't stand to see my friends get hurt." "I know that, sam." "And you did not disappoint me." "In fact, i couldn't be prouder." "You boys get back to practice." "This is completely unacceptable." "I can handle insubordination," "But this, this isn't about me." "This is about teaching you to act like human beings." "It's about knowing that your-your common decency" "And integrity are-are more important" "Than winning show choir competitions." "Which perfectly sums up your teaching style, schuester." "You think all of us didn't know you were too soft for this job?" "You have a loser mentality." "You know who didn't give a crap about being kind?" "Lewis and clark." "George patton." "Paul anka." "I don't want to be decent or liked." "I want to be a champion." "And this is how it's done." "The fact is" "Vocal adrenaline is the last" "Of a great dying breed of communities" "That is willing to risk being called bad guys" "And accept the hard truth," "Which is that every person on the planet knows" "Winning is everything." "(cheering) we will win nationals," "But we'll win it the right way." "When will you just accept" "That you don't belong here," "That none of us like you," "That we make fun of your vests" "And your pep talks behind your back?" "You're a joke." "Yeah, well, the joke's on you, clint." "You're off the team." "(scoffs)" "You can't kick me off the team." "I am the team!" "Get out." "Now." "Okay." "Everybody warm up." "(grunts) hey, come to bed, will." "Oh." "Maybe just have a shower first because you're touching" "That wheel that touched the ground." "You would think a stroller that costs as much" "As a mortgage payment would not break a week after you got it." "Okay." "You're talking in your angry man voice." "(sighs)" "I'm sorry." "It's just..." "(sighs)" "I'm stuck." "I really don't like my job." "I don't like the people or the environment, and it's not gonna change" "Because they don't think there's anything wrong." "I kicked that kid off the team today," "But i know that's not the end of it." "Those boosters are gonna come after me." "Okay, well, look, i don't need any of this stuff." "It's not like we'd have to go on food stamps" "If you quit and found another job." "I know some teachers who are." "(sighs)" "And we've talked about this, emma." "There are no other jobs." "Not ones where i can coach show choir." "(sighs) you know what the worst part is?" "I love all this extra stuff." "I love my fancy car and fancy stroller" "And fancy football tickets." "Maybe that makes me shallow and immature, but..." "All this extra stuff makes me feel like more of a man." "And i hate myself for loving it so much" "That i would stay working at a place" "That stands for everything i stand against." "Okay." "So we'll manage." "You know?" "You'll find another job." "My pamphlet of the month club is starting" "To bring in some extra cash." "A year ago, i would have." "(scoffs) you can be principled" "When you don't have kids to feed and clothe." "Well, i think when you have kids" "Is when it's most important to be principled." "He's gonna be watching you, will." "(sighs) kids see everything." "You can't hide anything from them." "I mean, when you buy him something," "He's gonna see your pride and your shame." "He's gonna know when you traded your integrity" "For comfort and safety." "Look, i'm not saying that you have to quit your job." "I understand the realities of that." "I do." "But i am saying..." "You need to make a peace with whatever choice you do make." "Okay?" "Yeah."

"You represent" "Everything this place stands for," "And i have put my personal beliefs" "Ahead of the reality of what vocal adrenaline is." "To be honest," "I was thinking about quitting." "But then i realized i still may be able" "To teach you guys a thing or two." "That said, you certainly" "Have found the formula to winning." "Who am i to try to change that?" "So as long as i'm coaching here," "We win the v.A. Way." "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "That's what i'm talking about." "And to prove to you guys that i'm serious," "I have come up with a prank to end all pranks." "Bring it in." "Tonight," "We sneak into mckinley high," "And i will show you all that nobody understands" "Psychological warfare better than william schuester." "All:" "Yeah!" "(whooping)" "You know, i told them if they put that clumsy, fat-ass craig" "On defense we'd blow the game, and what do they do?" "They put that clumsy, fat-ass craig" "On defense, right?" "It's unbelievable." "Okay." "What?" "Oh, what's what?" "Whatever it is that you've been staring" "Into space over for days." "I mean, you've said, like, two words." "Sorry." "Something happened that night at rachel's party, didn't it?" "I sang a duet with kurt." "It was rachel's idea, okay?" "It was, uh..." "It was a silly glee club thing." "I don't even know why i haven't told you about it." "Why would i be upset that you sang a duet with kurt?" "You guys don't stop singing." "That's not it." "Oh, man." "Dave..." "Just tell me one thing." "Did he kiss you, or did you kiss him?" "I knew it." "(laughs)" "(sighs)" "Well..." "Guess i was lucky enough" "To get a couple months in with you, huh?" "What does that mean?" "It means you still love him." "You never stopped." "Ever since kurt came back to lima," "There's been this ticking clock hanging over us." "Time's up." "I'm sorry, dave." "I-i didn't mean to..." "It's okay." "It's okay." "I know." "Hey..." "No hard feelings, okay?" "And you know that clumsy, fat-ass craig?" "He tried to slip me his number at the game." "(laughs)" "Look, there's a whole world" "Of guys out there waiting to be my rebound." "Go." "It's okay." "Go." "Tell kurt." "Uh, just do me a favor?" "Don't sing it." "Just say it." "¶ ¶" "Oh." "Hi, blaine." "Uh, we were just leaving." "Oh, walter, this is blaine." "Ah." "Of course." "(chuckles) the blaine." "Always nice to put a face to the name." "Ooh." "Neat bowtie." "I'm sorry." "Were you looking for me?" "No." "Uh, i was just looking for rachel." "I-i wanted to tell her something." "Oh, hey, blaine." "Did you want to ask me something?" "Uh, wh-where's everybody going?" "Oh, we're going on a double date." "Walter and i have a shared love for musical flops." "Oh, yeah." "And walter and i had this mutual love" "For the delicious chicken parm dipping balls" "They got at breadstix." "Oh, my gosh, they're so delicious." "Well, next time, maybe you can bring karofsky," "And we'll triple-date it." "Oh, hey, did you want to ask me something?" "You know what?" "I forgot." "Okay." "Okay, here's my plan." "We're gonna go backstage" "Where i've left two boxes of k-y jelly tubes." "All right?" "Everyone grab a tube" "And squirt out every last drop onto the stage floor." "All right, everyone, huddle up." "We're gonna watch" "Those fools literally fall on their faces."

"Your little "kumbaya" lesson here cost us two hours" "Of valuable rehearsal time, and you can bet" "The booster association is gonna hear about it." "You know, i started teaching glee club" "Because i care about the arts." "And that means a lot more than just practicing 24/7" "Like militant robots." "It means finding yourself in the music," "And sometimes it means taking a week off of sectionals practice" "To do something to make your friend feel good." "At least that's what it meant when i worked at mckinley." "And i'm not willing to sacrifice that anymore." "So if you guys want to continue" "To be intolerant troublemakers, go for it," "Because i quit." "You can't do that, will." "I just did, and it's not because of you." "It's because unique came to me, and" "We spent all week gathering a transgender choir, 300 voices strong" "To make you feel welcomed and at home." "(horn toots, microphone squeaks)" "Attention, vocal adrenaline members," "I will give you six minutes to leave campus" "Before i unleash my hounds." "Also, i've slashed all the tires on your bus" "So you'll have to walk home." "Perhaps you can use this march of death opportunity" "To consider how awful you really are." "(dogs barking)" "So what are you gonna do now?" "I don't know." "I mean, i guess i have to eventually find a new job," "But, honestly, carmel paid so well" "That we have enough savings to last a few months," "So i can figure things out." "(sighs)" "I am honestly so proud of what you guys are doing here." "And if i ever doubted that there needed to be somebody out there" "To balance out the evil empire of vocal adrenaline," "I am a true believer now." "Well, there is a job." "It doesn't really pay much." "Actually, it doesn't pay anything at all," "But, well, kurt and i were wondering" "If-if you had the time, or if you would even consider" "Being the special alumni consultant" "For the new directions!" "?" "Did you just make up that title right now?" "Yes, i just made that up right now." "I absolutely did." "Yeah." "But kurt and i were talking, and we could really use your help." "Coming up with these weekly lessons" "Is a lot harder than we thought." "Okay." "Okay, as in, you'll think about it?" "No." "Okay, as in, i would be honored to help." "That's great. (laughs)" "But i have, uh, two conditions." "One-- you guys have to make all of the major decisions." "And two-- you both have to start calling me will." "Yes, i can definitely do that." "Kurt:" "No." "I don't think" "I could ever call you "will." that..." "No." "(laughs)" "I..." "Ah." "I mean," "You guys are just passing through this place again," "But i'm beginning to realize that this is where i belong." "This choir room is who i am." "And i can't wait to see the look" "On sue's face when i tell her." "(laughs)" "So, what's the lesson for next week?" "Well, kurt wants to do another britney 3.0," "But, honestly, there's no more songs left in her catalog." "There are tons of songs." "Well, no-- do the kids have any personal problems?" "We don't really know." "We don't spend too much time talking to them." "Well, you should." "Get to know them." "Because one day, they may be the best friends you've ever had."
