"She's sleeping with Puck." "Look, that's a really, really dangerous rumor to make up, okay?" "You're gonna ruin her entire reputation." "That's the plan." "And it's not a lie." "I heard it from Puck." "First of all, Puck is 18, so what he and Shelby are doing, even though it's just wrong and so gross, it's not illegal." "So all you're doing is you're just, you're getting her fired, which is gonna take away her income to provide food and clothes and put a roof over her child's tiny little blonde head." "Sounds like an unfit mother." "And I'll be waiting in the wings when they take Beth away from her." "Beth loves her mom." "Shelby is her real mom." "Look, you've done a lot of really bad things, Quinn, but if you tell people about this Puck-and-Shelby thing, you'll be ruining this little girl's life, and then you'll have really hit rock bottom."

"We've been really busy with Glee Club." "Practicing for Sectionals..." "together." "Mmm, congrats on the Warbler win at your sectionals." "We're up this week." "Yeah." "Well, hey, if there's one guy that can whip New Directions into a legitimate threat, it's Blaine Anderson, right?" "Right." "I need another coffee." "I don't like you." "Fun." "I don't like you either." "I don't like the way you talk to my boyfriend," "I don't like your smirky little meerkat face," "I don't like your obnoxious CW hair." "I'm onto you." "Let's get a few things straight." "Blaine's too good for you." "New Directions!" "is a joke." "And one of us has a hard luck case of the gay-face, and it ain't me." "Odds are by the end of the school year, I'll have Blaine and a nationals trophy, and you'll have khakis and a Lima Bean apron and that gay face." "You smell like Craig's List." "What are you guys talking about?" "Duh, the next time we're all going out drinking, killer!" "Uh-oh." "Well, I gotta run." "But you take care of that Warbler, Kurt." "Wait." "This can't be the right place." "Sam works in a bar?" "Well, there just aren't a lot of theaters in Northern Kentucky, so theatre groups just have to perform in whatever space they can find." "There's a lot of ladies here-- like, older ladies." "Finn, it's no secret that dinner theater appeals to elderly women." "Good afternoon, ladies!" "Are you ready to meet the men of Stallionz?" "Then please welcome to the stage" " Cobra!" "I didn't know Backdraft was a musical." "Someone get the door, 'cause here comes Mr. Package." "Oh, God, no."

"$61... in 15 minutes." "Am I ashamed I work here?" "Yeah, I'm ashamed." "My dad got a job working construction to pay the rent, but when my brother needs a new pair of shoes or the TV busts, these abs pay for it." "Your parents don't know that you work here?" "No, they just think the DQ pays really well." "I'm good at this." "You're good at it because you have that a boy-next-door innocence that makes you approachable, okay?" "You're good at it for all the reasons that you shouldn't be doing it." "Come back to McKinley, Sam." "We need you for Sectionals." "Tell me you don't want it." "Dude, you're young, you got so much potential." "Working re is, like, throwing your life away." "Okay, I want it... but my dad will never let me." "Don't know till you ask." "Here we go." "Dad, Mom, what I'm trying to say is I want to go back to Ohio with them." "They need me to compete at Sectionals this weekend." "And he could stay at one of our houses, so it wouldn't be like he was homeless." "Not that there isn't a quiet dignity in that or anything." "You think you two could go in the other room, make yourselves busy, please?" "Yeah, totally" " I'm really good at looking busy." "Son... we've had a really tough year, but now we've back on our feet." "You had to become a man much sooner than other kids your age." "I'm-I'm proud of what we've all done." "It's just that..." "I miss being a teenager." "Hey-hey-hey-hey..." "Mom, please don't..." "Look, if you cry, I won't go." "I'm just crying because... it just makes me so sad to think of not seeing your face every day." "Though I don't understand why the Dairy Queen makes you put that glitter all over it." "This gonna make you happy?" "You have no idea." "Come on." "Are we sure yet which band members are joining us?" "Well, it looks like "Floppy Hair Bass Dude,"" ""Chapped Lips McGee," and "Johnny Tromboner."" "God, we're screwed." "No, we're not."

"Not if I can help it." "Hey." "Hi!" "Come here!" "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Finn and Rachel." "I sort of lost my way, but... true friends help you find your way back." "Let's hear it for Sam Evans!" "All right, enough of the sentimental stuff." "It's time y'all get a little country back in this joint!" "Oh!" "Cheers!" "Two, one, two, three."

"Gave it our all." "Yeah, we did." "Top dogs!" "Yes!" "This is what I was missing!" "I just..." "I can't believe it." "I can't believe he actually came." "He stood and..." "Michael." "May I speak with you?" "Both of you?" "Dancing is your talent, your dream." "That's what you tried to tell me." "That's what you tried to tell me." "And that's what I saw tonight." "This is your path, son, so you must follow it, and make us proud." "And your mother and I, we will help you follow it however we can." "Apply to dance schools-- the best ones." "Dad..." "Dad, I..." "I missed the deadlines, I think." "No, you didn't." "I sent in your applications, just in case." "I kind of had to forge your signature, though." "I love you so much." "As an award-winning clown, I'd like to say that it's nice, for once, to be working with kids that are just sick with talent." "Third place" " The Unitards!" "Harmony..." "Hi." "I just wanted to tell you that I thought you were really amazing." "And just think, I'm only a sophomore and I'm already this good." "Next year's going to be a bloodbath." "In second place we have the Trouble Tones!" "In first place is New Directions!" "♪ ♪" "Well, my suspension is officially over." "It'll still be on my transcript, though." "I'm just hoping that the admissions department at NYADA sees it as a sign of my artistic, rebellious, attitude." "Good luck with that." "Are you going to go tell Figgins about Shelby?" "'Cause I just..." "I still think that it's a really terrible idea." "I came here to talk to you, actually." "To tell you I'm not going to tell." "Why?" "Because I love Beth, and I don't want to ruin her life." "I wanted to thank you actually." "For what?" "For keeping me from doing something stupid." "Something I would have regretted my entire life." "We're kind of friends, huh?" "Kind of." "What do you think about Yale?" "Oh, no, I have my sights set on NYADA." "No, for me." "I'm not the singer that you and Kurt are, but Yale has an amazing drama program." "And I really do like to perform." "Yeah." "Certainly would nail all the parts where the girl has to cry." "No, I think it's a great idea." "I mean, especially since you won't have me to compete with." "You're a lot better than you know." "Well, I'll see you at Glee Club." "Where are you going?" "I have a couple people I need to talk to." "Okay, well, I don't know if you need help with your Yale application..." "Not with the Yale application, but, um, there is something you could do for me." "We were better." "I don't know, I think it could have gone either way." "It was that damn Trouty Mouth." "Even I felt a little something in my lady loins when he did that magic sex dance." "All right, ladies, girl talk." "No." "Uh-uh." "Don't you dare try and give us a pep talk." "Or ask us to come back to New Directions-- not interested." "Wait, is it even possible?" "Do you think they would really take us back?" "Of course they would take us back." "But I'm telling you, I'm not going." "Do you know what growing up is about?" "Losing things." "In six months, we'll all be gone, scattered." "We'll keep in touch." "Yeah, but it won't be the same." "When we see each other, it'll be a special occasion." "It'll be different." "I don't want to grow up yet." "I'm not ready to lose you girls." "What are we supposed to do?" "Come back to Glee Club and sing background for Blaine and Berry until we graduate?" "I'm not doing that again." "We know what it feels like to be out front now." "What if Mr. Shue agreed to let the Trouble Tones sing at least one number per competition?" "Well, even if Mr. Shue did agree to that, Rachel never would." "What if I told you that they both already did?" "I'm listening." "Look, I know I went a little crazy." "But I'm here now." "I'm 17" " I have the rest of my life in front of me." "I love Glee Club." "I love you girls." "And when we're 27, or 87," "I want us to be able to look back on these next couple months and talk about how it was the best times of our lives." "Can't do that if we're not all together." "We're doing a big number in the auditorium to celebrate our victory and to prepare for Regionals." "We could use a couple more girl voices."
