"So here's what you missed on Glee:" "Kurt's in New York where he's rooming with Rachel and planning to interview to date her, but she's still confused about Finn, and Finn's still in the army, and nobody's heard from him." " Glee!" " Back at McKinley," "Mr. Schue's trying to repeat a win at nationals by repeating assignments from last year." " Are we doing Britney week again?" " That's great." "And Sam's new blonde besties with Brittany, who didn't graduate and thinks she's still president even though all she accomplished last year was a dinosaur prom." "That's what you missed on Glee." "(Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" begins)" "BLAINE:" "All right, Blaine Anderson, time to change things up." "Last year, it was all about letting the seniors shine."

"KURT:" "I've spent the entire weekend trying to choose the absolute perfect outfit because" "I've snagged an interview at... drum roll, please..." "Hi, I'm Kurt Hummel." "Yes, it's just for an internship, but I haven't been this nervous since I auditioned for NYADA, and we all know how that turned out." "I'm meeting with the new senior editor and designer extraordinaire." "Isabelle Wright, and her stellar reputation precedes her." "She's a style maverick." "She double-majored in fashion design and dead romance languages." " An iconoclast." " Rumor has it," "She gave Steve Jobs his first black turtleneck." "She's Vogue's rogue." "Miss Wright will see you now." "(knocking)" "Hello?" "Columbus." " Excuse me?" " You're from Lima." "I'm from Columbus." "And actually, I once got food poisoning in Lima at some Italian place," "It was Bread..." " Stix?" " Breadstix, yes." "I can't believe you ate at Breadstix." "Well, I wish I hadn't." "Isabelle Wright." "Kurt Hummel." "So, Mr. Hummel," "I have to tell you, I am very impressed with your online resume, especially this gallery of you and your rather bold clothing choices." " Where did you find all this?" " Well, I.." "I made most of them," "And searched the Internet for bargains." "And, uh, that half-sweater there at the bottom, that belonged to my dead aunt, and I found it in her attic." "And the embroidered calico vest was actually inspired by one of your designs." "Oh, yes, my quilted micro skirt collection." "It was an epic fail." "But like you said in Vanity Fair," ""I don't trust anyone who hasn't failed big at least once."" "Have a seat." "So, I'm just gonna ask you a couple of routine questions I ask all potential hires." "Who are your fashion icons?" "Audrey Hepburn," "Michelle Obama, and not to kiss up or anything, but... you." "(chuckles)" "And have you done any writing on fashion?" "Self journaling, mostly." "I did weekly updates and, um, blogs on Project Runway since season one," " and..." " Wave your magic wand," "Where would you be in four years?" "Working here part-time, graduating from NYADA and, uh, starting my first Broadway show." "I know that sounds presumptuous." "No." "Frankly, you should be more presumptuous, you know?" "This is New York;" "It's for dreamers." "It's for people like you, who are just starting out, and people like me who... very much want to re-invent themselves." "No, you should dream." "You should dream very, very big." "And then you should work incredibly hard and make sure you do everything in your power to make it happen." "Look, Anna hired me because she said that the Web sites that I designed for my collections were inspired." "So neither myself nor my team can let her down," "and that includes you." " Me?" " Well, listen," "My friend, anybody who can pull off a hippo brooch deserves to be here." "Thank you." "Thank you so..." " Oh, you're very welcome." " Sorry." "It's okay." "It's okay." "That should come with a warning." "Oh, it did." "Artie, can I talk to you for a second?" "Okay, so I'm running for senior class president again, and I want you to be my VP." "Being vice presidential pick of McKinley High's first two-term president would look really good on your college resume." "I have a 4.0 GPA, and I scored a 210 on my practice SAT, and I was the only handi-capable member of a national championship glee club." "I'm not really worried about getting into college." "I know how people like you are afraid of the spotlight sometimes, but did you know that Franklin Roosevelt was part robot, too," " and he's on Mount Rushmore?" " No, he isn't." "And I'm just going to say it again," " I'm not part robot." " I realize" "That I didn't do much as president last year, and if you help me win again this year," "I promise to do exactly the same thing, which means" "I'll be president, and you can make all the boring decisions." "So I could be Cheney to your Bush." "I'd rather be landing strip." "I mean, it's no secret that a woman loves a man in power, and don't take this personally, but before I graduate, I would like to have a relationship that lasts longer than a couple weeks." "Why would I take that personally?" " You and I dated." " We did?" "Look, you've got yourself a deal." " (school bell ringing)" " Cool." "Okay, as you all know, as national champions we get to host the annual Show Choir Rules Committee meeting." "Please tell me you're gonna ask what 1/3 vintage meant last year?" "Or like, why some teams get to sing six songs and other ones only do one?" "JAKE:" "Speaking of competitions, shouldn't we start like, preparing for ours?" "WILL:" "I have some ideas which I am working on very hard." "Um..." "I don't really want to give anything away right now..." "I have no ideas." "I'm tapped out." "I spent all last weekend trying to think of something for us to perform, and all I came up with was a scat version of "Carmina Burana."" " Yes, go ahead." " Excuse me, I'm not sure if what" "You were saying was actually important 'cause I wasn't listening but I'd like to make an announcement." "First, I'd like to know if anyone can prove that Blaine was actually born in this country." "Second, I'm wrapping up the election by selecting Artie as my running mate." "Ah!" "All right." "I think by bridging the human-slash-robot divide, we'll ensure that both students and vending machines will be voting for us." " Still not a robot." " BLAINE:" "Brittany, that's not fair." "This isn't a popularity contest, it's about who's got the best ideas." "It's about believing you can make a change, right?" "ARTIE:" "What is that taste in my...?" "Is that sour grape?" " (school bell ringing)" " Brittany." " Hey, butt-chin." " Hey, Sue." "I'm making a list of potential themes for our set list at sectionals, and right now I can't decide between classic TV theme songs or a salute to autumn." "William, those are terrible." "I don't know what's wrong with me." "What happened to all my good ideas?" "Oh, don't kid yourself; you never had any good ideas." "You just didn't notice because you were too busy chasing your bizarre childhood dream of a glee club national championship." "And now that that's over, well, you're waking up to the incessant mind-numbing tedium that is the day-to-day life of a schoolteacher." "Take a look around you, William, at this sad panoply of walking human garbage." "This is what you have to look forward to." "In a few short years, you'll either be an alcoholic... morbidly obese... or both." "That's what I like to call the Full Charlotte Rae." "Personally, William, I think you should take this opportunity to bow out gracefully and explore other job opportunities." "Now, your penchant for bland, simplistic aphorisms could give you a leg up in the motivational hot-air balloon poster business, and of course, your complete lack of adult friends means you're well on your way to a career" "as a pedophile birthday clown." "But I love my job." "William, you had a dream, and you achieved it." "Now move on." "Otherwise, you'll end up like that." "Quietly smirking because you just did a little crop-dusting." "Oh, and now you're enjoying the sneaky tickle of your own stink as it ripples up your enormous, soupy butt crack." "(school bell ringing)" "Hey, why didn't you ask me to be your running mate?" "I'm like the perfect candidate." "Well, I didn't want it to ruin our friendship." "I mean, look at Sarah Palin." "She and her grandfather, they were super close, and then he asked her to be his running mate, and they lost, and now they're not even speaking." "But I do think you'd be a great vice president, so I'm going to help you out." "Come here." "Blaine Warbler?" "I'd like to introduce you to Sam Evans." "Um, we've actually met several times." "He's your candidate for vice president." "Uh, no." "I'm picking my own running mate." "My family's on food stamps, so that will get you the sympathy vote." "I'm not gay, so that'll help with the not-gay vote, and you know, I don't want to brag, but... (imitates George W. Bush):" "My impressions are hilarious 100% of the time." "It's George Bush, come on." "Okay, sure." "Awesome." "First order of business," "Artie and I challenge you and Sam to a debate." "You're on." "(whispering):" "What's a debate?" "I think it's time we tackled something that we have been avoiding for far too long, and I think you all know exactly what I'm talking about." "Leather..." "Leather, but in unexpected ways." "Pitch me." "Okay, it's coming to me." "It's coming to me." "It's Italy." "Saló, 1944." "Belts as punishment." "Belts as reward." ""You can't have a belt!" "You: put a belt on!"" "It's faux-fascist." "It's... pair it with a chunky boot." "Okay, belts were two years ago, and chunky boots were five years ago." "While we're on the topic of the verboten," "I would beg all of you to please, please not offer up a leather platform." "Chase, you know I love you, and I... and I love that you're filled with so much passion, so I'm definite..." "I'm going to..." "I'll keep thinking about it, of course." "Okay." "Um..." "Daphne." "Leather socks." "Suede underpants." "Cowhide brassieres." "Daphne, did you go off your meds again?" "Yes." "Then I want you to stay off because that... is sick." "I mean good sick." "That's the... that's the kind of sick I want you to be." "You know, that's exactly what I'm talking about, everybody." "I don't want any rules..." "just toss them." "You know, let's think out of the box." "Or... maybe..." "I don't know." "Maybe that's... maybe that's too far out of the box." "Okay, why don't we do this?" "Let's, uh... we'll... we're going to take a..." "a little break, and then we will... we'll revisit the topic of leather, okay?" "Kurt, can I... can I see you in my office?" "So, what did you think of the ideas in there?" "Fascinating." "I hated them." "Look, I-I know I'm just an intern, but I feel like "unexpected leather"" "should be in the back pages of The Village Voice." "No, I know, I agree, but Mand..." "Mandy, you know, the receptionist, every time I walk by her, she suggests that I do an article on trends in animal hide." "And then her cat died." "Did you know her cat died?" "So, what, am I going to say no?" " So now I'm stuck with leather." " No, you're not." "There are a million different ideas." "Uh, we could do a music video that pays tribute to the most cutting-edge fashion, right?" "Well, I told Chase Madison that I would do his piece on Spanx for cankles:" ""Spankles."" "Oh, God." "I'm an artist, not a manager." "I..." "I can't say no to anybody." "I can't bear it." "You know, I'm..." "I'm used to knocking on doors, not bolting them shut." "Back in the day, if I had an idea... a crazy idea..." "I knew if it was good based on my instinct." "And now crazy ideas just seem crazy to me." "You know, like, uh, uh..." "uh, high-heeled galoshes or, um, equestrian underwear... what?" "And I can't..." "I can't land anything." "I just feel like I lucked into a job that I don't deserve, and I... honestly, I-I-I..." "I have no idea what I'm doing." "My collection was a failure." "I can't fail at this." "And I just rented a one-bedroom apartment in Midtown so I could walk to work." "But now I'm not going to have a job to walk to or an apartment to walk from." "I'm going to be homeless." "Hey, hey." "You are not going to be homeless." "All right?" "You can always come stay with me and my roommate in Bushwick." "Oh, God." "Brittany, I just got a copy of Jacob Ben Israel's latest presidential poll." "The good news is 90% of respondents said they're planning on attending Friday's debate." "That's cool." "So what's the bad news?" "90% of those respondents said they were coming to hear you... say something st... stu..." "They think I'm going to say something stupid." "But, see, you're not stupid." "You're really creative." "Your brain exists in this magical other dimension where anything is possible." "It's really amazing." "We just need to focus on a little preparation." "If I'm going to be completely honest," "I'm a little worried that my picking you as a running mate is going to seem like a desperate grab for the straight vote if you don't really look like a serious candidate, you know?" "(imitates John Wayne):" "What do you mean, pilgrim?" " Was that John Wayne?" " Yeah." "I panicked." "Okay, listen." "When's your next free period?" "I need you to meet me in the costume shop." "Brittany S. Pierce, how do you react to the characterization of your first term in office as one in which you didn't do anything at all until prom?" "I would describe that as entirely accurate." "Okay." "Test scores at McKinley have gone down six percent every year for the past decade." " What would you do to fix the problem?" " Stop giving tests." "They're hard, and there's way too many of them." "What is your favorite color?" "Filipino." "They're very hard workers, and family is very important to them." "You know what?" "Let's talk wardrobe."

" Is there anything we can do?" " Yeah." "You can watch your back, because you're next." "We're all dead." "The money for the arts has dried up." "What we need is representation on that blue-ribbon government panel to get arts back in the schools." "There was a huge debate over that in Congress." "Oh, they don't care about us." "They don't want to have anything to do with show choir directors;" "They want bigwigs like Meryl Streep or Demi Lovato."

"It's a tragedy What Not to Wear doesn't do two-hour specials."

"I had no idea that it was going to be so exactly the same." "You know why you feel exactly the same?" "Hmm?" "Because you're still dressing exactly the same." "We're not in Ohio any more, Rachel." "And even then, it's not like we were on trend." "I hate to say this, but life is like high school." "Styles and clothes determine the pecking order." "Well, I don't know what you expect me to do."

"Ah, she already seems so much more confident, you know?" "It's so funny how a new image can change everything." "Oh..." "I sure hope you never lose that." "What?" "Oh, just your... unbridled, wide-eyed, Lima, Ohio optimism." "You know, I had an instinct about you, Kurt Hummel, and so far, it's proven to be correct."

"And seniors took me under their wing, introduced me to waxes and the gym," " and they changed my life." " Yeah." "It's pretty amazing what a good makeover can do." "It's like you change the outside, and then the inside just... follows." "I think it's the other way around." "I think now your outside has caught up to how you feel about yourself." "Hmm." "I like that." "I like you." "So what are you working on?" "Just a new number." "I like to do something every day, just to keep my machine well-oiled." "Oh, me too." "I love that song."
