"FINN:" "Those are on backwards." "(bell ringing)" "I was pretty sure Artie's legs don't work." "Did you get a leg transplant?" "ARTIE:" "Nope." "My teammates can push my chair like a battering ram." "Yeah, there's no rules against it." "We checked." "And I have Britney Spears to thank." "You're welcome." "ARTIE:" "Britney plus nitrous gave me an amazing idea, and it gave me the nerve to tell Coach Beiste that Finn and I both really want to be on the team." "Wait." "You're back on the football team?" "Yeah." "Suddenly, you're way hotter to me." "Weird." "Wait." "I don't get it." "How come everyone's having Britney Spears fantasies?" "The nitrous oxide dentists use is a mild hallucinogen." "Studies have proven that it induces vivid dreams, often the last thing the patient thinks of." "The subconscious moves to the forefront." "Since we've all been thinking so much about Britney, it only stands to reason." "Okay, guys, listen up." "Mr. Shue, if I may?" "Kurt, I overheard what you guys were just talking about, and I know what you're going to say." "The answer is no." "No, I'm not going to stand in the way anymore." "If you guys want to do Britney at this year's homecoming assembly, I'm fine with it." "(cheering, excited chatter)" "WILL:" "I know." "Oh..." "And more than that," "I am going to perform with you." "(cheering and chatter stop)" "(chuckles) Right?" "(bell ringing)" "I always thought the boys' locker room would be all sexy, but actually, it smells like feet in here." "Oh, Rachel, you can't be in here." "You changed back to your old clothes." "I just want you to know that I heard everything that you said and that I respect your needs, and I'll do anything to make you feel safe and happy." "Cool." "Well, thanks." "I gotta go." "Wait... (stammers)" "I mean... d-don't you want to make me feel safe and happy, too?" "Well, yeah." "Yeah, sure." "Wait." "Wait." "Do you want me to quit football?" "Look, how am I supposed to trust that you're not just going to stray again?" "Remember your little fling with Brittany and Santana?" "I do... all right?" "Let's face it, Finn-- the only way that this relationship is going to work is if we're both losers." "Okay." "Come here." "This is how it's gonna happen:" "I'm going to be quarterback again, then I'm going to throw a touchdown in our first game, and then point to you in the stands so that everybody in the school knows you're my girlfriend." "All right?" "That's very romantic, but..." "I don't know." "Rachel, you can't ask me to choose between you and football." "Well, I am." "(sighs)" "(bell ringing)" "EMMA:" "You need to sit where you can be seen." "Why don't you sit at the top and wave your big, foamy finger?" "Yeah?" "Up there." "It's so, so exciting!" "You know, I can get you backstage if you want." "Oh, hey." "Hey." "You're all dressed up." "You look like a cast member of Kids Incorporated." "Well, I really want to loosen up a bit, so I'm, uh, helping the kids do Britney." "(laughs) Outrageous, right?" "Yeah." "Oh." "Showtime." "SUE:" "Sit down!" "There's nothing to stand up and cheer about." "Hey, Coach!" "The glee club's doing Britney Spears for the assembly." "I just found out." "Becky, you're on red alert." "If you see any awkward teenage frottage, you perform that citizen's arrest we practiced." "Got it, Coach." "(feedback screeching)" "Quiet, please, children." "Quiet now." "First, students who ate the ravioli today and are not up-to-date on their tetanus shots should see the nurse immediately." "Welcome to our homecoming pep assembly." "Because of last week's grisly train derailment, the dulcimer club is on hiatus until further notice." "But do we ever have a treat for you." "Fresh off their last place finish at the Regionals, please give it up for the New Directions!" "(scattered applause)" "(Britney Spears' "Toxic" playing) âª Baby, can't you see âª âª I'm calling âª âª A guy like you âª âª Should wear a warning âª" "âª You're dangerous âª âª I'm loving it âª" "I love Britney Spears!"

"(crowd cheering)" "(alarm ringing, music stops, crowd cheering)" "(clamoring)" "Run the other way!" "(alarm ringing)" "(screaming)" "(clamoring)" "(bell ringing)" "(Sue clears throat)" "(sighs)" "How you doing, Sue?" "Not sure if you heard, William, but my spinal column was ruptured in a sex riot." "Sue, you pulled the alarm." "Everything was going fine!" "You know, William, that's what one Hubert Humphrey said back in 1968 at the start of the Democratic National Convention." "But then hippies put acid in everyone's bourbon." "And when an updraft revealed" "Lady Bird Johnson's tramp stamp and tattoos above her ovaries, Mayor Richard J. Daley became so incensed with sexual rage that he punched his own wife in the face and spent the next hour screaming" ""sex party" into the microphones of all three major networks." "Okay, I'm pretty sure none of that happened." "You can expect a call very soon from my lawyer" "Gloria Allred." "I'm gonna sue the pants off you, Will." "I'm gonna take your house, your car, your extensive collection of vests." "I mean, seriously, you wear more vests than the cast of Blossom." "And I'll see you in court." "(sighs)" "Emma..." "Look, what I did was a little weird." "I know that." "It was inappropriate for me to do Britney with the kids." "I just thought you wanted me to be less uptight." "Will, I just wanted you to relax." "You know, not stop being you." "I kn you're frustrated." "You know, Terri's still on your case, you lost at regionals," "Glee's still the bottom pickle in the barrel..." "You and Carl." "Yeah." "Me and Carl." "Especially me and Carl." "Look, have you ever noticed that Britney Spears only makes great music when she's not chasing down paparazzi?" "She can't just swallow a grenade and let her talent explode all over the world." "She's got to rein it in, just like you do." "You're such a great teacher, Will." "No, probably the best in the whole school." "So why would you want to be someone else when the someone that you already are is so amazing." "Because the boring someone I already am.." "wasn't good enough for you." "Hey, where you going?" "To return that car." "(bell ringing)" "U.S. History..." "Crap, I forgot I was taking that." "Congrats, Finn." "You're back on the team, I'm head cheerleader again." "Some kind of symmetry, don't you think?" "With all the nastiness between you and I behind us," "I think we should be together." "We'd be a shoo-in for Homecoming king and queen." "So what do you say?" "You and me, 8:00, Breadstix?" "Look, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have feelings for you." "Probably always will." "But I'm not gonna get back together with you." "There's someone else, and you know who that is." "I'm asking you to respect that." "I'm sorry." "I said what you wanted me to, he shot me down." "So congrats." "Looks like he really loves you." "(bell ringing)" "All right." "Rachel?" "I have a song that I've prepared for the class." "Sorry, Rachel, no Britney." "I'm really happy that her music has inspired so many of you, even if that inspiration was brought about by a dangerous narcotic." "And I think we've all come to appreciate her music and celebrity so much more this week." "But honestly, she's just not us." "I'm devastated." "I can't believe we only did one Britney number." "RACH:" "I was actually gonna do something from our original assignment last week-- adult contemporary." "But this is just a little bit more young adult." "Oh." "Great, Rachel." "Well, let's hear it." "I'd like to dedicate this song to my boyfriend Finn." "I was wrong." "I shouldn't try to control you." "I've just, I've never been this happy before." "And I realize that" "I was trying to hold onto how you were making me feel so much, that I was strangling you in my hands, like a little bird." "I get now, that in order for this relationship to work," "I have to open up my hands and let you fly free." "Finn can fly?" "Really?" "Wait, I thought I was the only one getting the solos from now on." "Next week, I'm going to be performing a musical number by Kesha."
