1
00:00:02,861 --> 00:00:05,296
Honey...
2
00:00:05,330 --> 00:00:08,566
you're never gonna believe
what I did today.
3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,836
I decided to take
over the Glee Club.

5
00:00:22,781 --> 00:00:24,781
My name is Kurt Hummel.
6
00:00:24,783 --> 00:00:26,016
I'm a sophomore at McKinley.
7
00:00:26,051 --> 00:00:27,985
My first day at this school,
8
00:00:28,019 --> 00:00:29,753
the principal got up in front
of the whole freshman class
9
00:00:29,788 --> 00:00:31,555
and told us that
the next four years
10
00:00:31,590 --> 00:00:33,357
were going to be the best years
of our lives.
11
00:00:33,391 --> 00:00:34,758
Out of the way, fag!
12
00:00:34,793 --> 00:00:36,026
What a joke.
13
00:00:36,061 --> 00:00:37,695
Sorry.
14
00:00:37,729 --> 00:00:40,030
Hope I didn't make you late
for remedial math.
15
00:00:40,065 --> 00:00:42,233
What was that?
16
00:00:42,267 --> 00:00:44,735
Nothing. I just...
I just said I was sorry.
17
00:00:50,542 --> 00:00:51,909
Nice.
18
00:00:51,943 --> 00:00:53,777
Hey, bro, don't be gay.
19
00:00:53,812 --> 00:00:57,982
Another day, another
cataclysmic humiliation.
20
00:00:59,985 --> 00:01:03,454
Everywhere I go,
I'm isolated and alone.
21
00:01:03,488 --> 00:01:05,808
I know my mom used to tell me
how good it made her feel
22
00:01:05,824 --> 00:01:07,391
that I was such a happy kid,
23
00:01:07,425 --> 00:01:09,226
but honestly,
I don't even remember
24
00:01:09,261 --> 00:01:11,595
what that would've
even felt like.
25
00:01:11,630 --> 00:01:13,364
I feel like I could die tomorrow
26
00:01:13,398 --> 00:01:15,366
and I don't think
anyone would really care.
27
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,836
I'm not sure
anyone would even notice.
28
00:01:23,475 --> 00:01:25,075
Can I help you?
29
00:01:25,110 --> 00:01:26,710
Oh! No. I'm-I'm sorry.
30
00:01:26,745 --> 00:01:27,945
I-I just made a wrong turn.
31
00:01:27,979 --> 00:01:29,647
What's your name?
Kurt Hummel.
32
00:01:29,681 --> 00:01:32,349
Hi, Kurt. I'm Miss Pillsbury,
the guidance counselor.
33
00:01:34,653 --> 00:01:36,654
Are you new to the school?
I'm a sophomore.
34
00:01:36,688 --> 00:01:37,755
That's awkward.
35
00:01:37,789 --> 00:01:40,057
Well, if you ever need anything,
36
00:01:40,091 --> 00:01:41,392
my door is always open.
37
00:01:41,426 --> 00:01:42,893
One, two,
three, four, five.
38
00:01:42,928 --> 00:01:45,262
Because feelings don't
take vacations, do they?
39
00:01:45,297 --> 00:01:46,564
They work in 24-hour shifts.
40
00:01:46,598 --> 00:01:48,065
I mean, I don't.
41
00:01:48,099 --> 00:01:49,500
I'm only here during
regular school hours.
42
00:01:49,534 --> 00:01:51,168
And I take vacation.
43
00:01:51,203 --> 00:01:52,770
I try not to eat into
my sick days...
44
00:01:52,804 --> 00:01:54,964
It was nice meeting you.
Yeah, it was nice meeting you.
45
00:01:54,973 --> 00:01:56,207
Mm-hmm.
46
00:02:13,859 --> 00:02:16,160
What is that on your hands
and your coveralls?
47
00:02:16,194 --> 00:02:18,596
What would you call that?
Is that oil? Is that grease?
48
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:20,190
Down at the shop,
we just call it grime.
49
00:02:20,198 --> 00:02:22,466
Grime.
Look, I know why
50
00:02:22,501 --> 00:02:23,501
you asked me down here.
51
00:02:23,502 --> 00:02:25,469
Oh, you do? Oh. Oh, dear.
52
00:02:25,504 --> 00:02:26,704
Is Kurt acting
strangely at home?
53
00:02:26,738 --> 00:02:28,272
Yeah, since he was two.
54
00:02:28,306 --> 00:02:29,974
Look, I know he's a
little bit different,
55
00:02:30,008 --> 00:02:31,609
but I also think
it's a little early
56
00:02:31,643 --> 00:02:32,843
to be talking about it.
57
00:02:32,878 --> 00:02:34,118
I mean, kids,
58
00:02:34,146 --> 00:02:35,613
they grow out of
stuff all the time.
59
00:02:35,647 --> 00:02:37,281
When I was his age,
I was a Bengals fan.
60
00:02:37,315 --> 00:02:38,816
Now I'm a Browns fan,
61
00:02:38,850 --> 00:02:40,618
all the way.
No, sorry,
62
00:02:40,652 --> 00:02:42,653
I don't think we're talking
about the same thing.
63
00:02:42,687 --> 00:02:45,823
Um, I'm worried
that Kurt is, uh...
64
00:02:45,857 --> 00:02:47,224
depressed.
65
00:02:47,259 --> 00:02:48,626
Oh.
No, deeply.
66
00:02:48,660 --> 00:02:50,194
And I'm concerned about him.
67
00:02:50,228 --> 00:02:54,165
Look, I-I walked in on him,
and he was reading this.
68
00:03:06,111 --> 00:03:07,344
Hey.
69
00:03:07,379 --> 00:03:08,579
What's up?
70
00:03:08,613 --> 00:03:10,481
Nothing.
71
00:03:10,515 --> 00:03:12,149
Is it time for me
to start dinner?
72
00:03:12,184 --> 00:03:14,051
Uh, in a minute.
73
00:03:14,085 --> 00:03:15,853
I, uh...
74
00:03:15,887 --> 00:03:18,247
I got called into school by
your guidance counselor today.
75
00:03:20,792 --> 00:03:25,863
She told me...
some upsetting stuff.
76
00:03:25,897 --> 00:03:28,399
I'm fine, Dad.
77
00:03:28,433 --> 00:03:30,401
She's... she's just
overreacting.
78
00:03:30,435 --> 00:03:32,002
Look, Kurt, I don't want to talk
79
00:03:32,037 --> 00:03:34,238
about this any more
than you do. Okay?
80
00:03:34,272 --> 00:03:36,941
You do your thing, I do mine.
81
00:03:36,975 --> 00:03:41,545
But you're all alone down here,
most of the time.
82
00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:43,514
You don't have any friends.
83
00:03:43,548 --> 00:03:44,748
You don't understand.
84
00:03:44,783 --> 00:03:46,183
School is very complicated
for me.
85
00:03:46,218 --> 00:03:48,953
I was a teenager;
I get the pressure.
86
00:03:48,987 --> 00:03:52,256
Making friends... that's why
I joined the football team.
87
00:03:52,290 --> 00:03:54,759
You want me to join
the football team?
88
00:03:54,793 --> 00:03:56,427
Look, I'm not asking here, Kurt.
89
00:03:56,461 --> 00:03:57,862
This is an order.
90
00:03:57,896 --> 00:04:00,698
By the end of this week,
I want you on a team,
91
00:04:00,732 --> 00:04:02,692
or I'm taking away
the sewing machine.
92
00:04:29,928 --> 00:04:31,662
May I sit here?
93
00:04:31,696 --> 00:04:33,097
Be careful with the posters.
94
00:04:33,131 --> 00:04:34,799
They take 20 minutes each
to make.
95
00:04:34,833 --> 00:04:36,100
Okay.
96
00:04:36,134 --> 00:04:37,802
I see you're in the Speech Club.
97
00:04:37,836 --> 00:04:39,570
Speech Club, Renaissance Club,
98
00:04:39,604 --> 00:04:41,739
the Muslim Students Club,
Black Student Union.
99
00:04:41,773 --> 00:04:43,853
It's important for me to be
immersed in all cultures.
100
00:04:43,875 --> 00:04:45,409
I'm an actress.
101
00:04:45,444 --> 00:04:47,611
Oh, I know. I've seen
your videos on MySpace.
102
00:04:47,646 --> 00:04:48,846
You're very talented.
103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,981
I'm Rachel Berry.
104
00:04:51,016 --> 00:04:52,817
Kurt Hummel.
105
00:04:52,851 --> 00:04:55,252
Well, perhaps I should
join the Speech Club.
106
00:04:55,287 --> 00:04:57,655
My-my dad's making me
join something.
107
00:04:57,689 --> 00:04:59,023
And to be honest with you,
I have also been
108
00:04:59,057 --> 00:05:00,458
toying around
with a career in acting.
109
00:05:00,492 --> 00:05:02,259
I'm not toying around
with anything.
110
00:05:02,294 --> 00:05:03,961
The minute I graduate, I'm
going directly to Broadway
111
00:05:03,995 --> 00:05:05,930
and I'm never looking back.
112
00:05:05,964 --> 00:05:07,498
Besides, you can't join
the Speech Club; it's full.
113
00:05:07,532 --> 00:05:10,668
- Oh.
- Can you carry a tune?
114
00:05:10,702 --> 00:05:11,702
- Yes.
- Are you sure?
115
00:05:11,737 --> 00:05:13,337
- Yes.
- Because I don't know
116
00:05:13,371 --> 00:05:14,939
if you've heard the good
news, but the Glee Club
117
00:05:14,973 --> 00:05:16,340
is starting up again. It was
really awful when that perv,
118
00:05:16,374 --> 00:05:17,708
Mr. Ryerson, was in charge,
119
00:05:17,743 --> 00:05:19,043
but Mr. Schuester
is taking over now.
120
00:05:19,077 --> 00:05:20,644
He's the really
cool Spanish teacher
121
00:05:20,679 --> 00:05:22,646
who looks like an old
Justin Timberlake.
122
00:05:22,681 --> 00:05:24,281
When he was in this school
and he was in the Glee Club,
123
00:05:24,316 --> 00:05:26,050
they won nationals.
Do you know how hard that is?
124
00:05:26,084 --> 00:05:27,852
I'm assuming that you're
a contralto or a mezzo-soprano.
125
00:05:27,886 --> 00:05:29,520
We'll explore your vocal range
tomorrow after school.
126
00:05:29,554 --> 00:05:30,821
I'll reserve the auditorium.

179
00:07:42,054 --> 00:07:43,754
That is definitely the song
that we need to sing
180
00:07:43,789 --> 00:07:44,989
when we audition together.
181
00:07:45,023 --> 00:07:46,757
Together?
I'm sorry, Kurt,
182
00:07:46,792 --> 00:07:48,426
it-it doesn't
work that way.
183
00:07:48,460 --> 00:07:50,661
When you look at the sky
at night, what do you see?
184
00:07:50,696 --> 00:07:52,430
Um... stars?
185
00:07:52,464 --> 00:07:54,532
Exactly.
Some shine brighter than others,
186
00:07:54,566 --> 00:07:56,133
but they all shine on their own.
187
00:07:56,168 --> 00:07:57,768
I enjoyed singing with you today
188
00:07:57,803 --> 00:07:59,337
and I look forward
to doing it again,
189
00:07:59,371 --> 00:08:00,871
but when it comes to auditions,
190
00:08:00,906 --> 00:08:02,974
it's every man for himself
on this stage.
191
00:08:03,008 --> 00:08:04,375
Eat or be eaten.
192
00:08:06,678 --> 00:08:09,413
This is show choir.
193
00:08:16,355 --> 00:08:18,356
Oh! Um, hi.
194
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:20,624
- Uh, Miss Jones?
- That's me.
195
00:08:20,659 --> 00:08:22,793
I-I'm Kurt Hummel.
196
00:08:22,828 --> 00:08:24,161
Mm-hmm. Kurt Hummel.
197
00:08:24,196 --> 00:08:25,529
And what do you want?
198
00:08:25,564 --> 00:08:26,998
We're walking, we're talking.
199
00:08:27,032 --> 00:08:28,499
Well, I heard that you
were a-a total star
200
00:08:28,533 --> 00:08:29,967
in your church choir
and that you cracked
201
00:08:30,002 --> 00:08:31,535
a stained glass window
when you hit a high note
202
00:08:31,570 --> 00:08:33,404
singing ♪ Jesus. ♪
203
00:08:33,438 --> 00:08:35,640
Well, that's how you get
the big man upstairs' attention.
204
00:08:35,674 --> 00:08:38,154
Well, I want to be
just like you.
205
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:43,381
Kurt, you are...
you're adorable.
206
00:08:43,415 --> 00:08:45,216
But I just don't think
that this pale, sexy,
207
00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:47,718
Keebler Elf look really fits in
with my church choir.
208
00:08:47,753 --> 00:08:48,986
I mean, no offense.
209
00:08:49,021 --> 00:08:50,221
Oh, no, no.
None taken.
210
00:08:50,255 --> 00:08:51,495
No, no, not a church.
211
00:08:51,523 --> 00:08:53,057
Uh, here, in the new Glee Club.
212
00:08:53,091 --> 00:08:54,759
Haven't you heard?
213
00:08:54,793 --> 00:08:57,328
Why wait for Sundays to be
Aretha Franklin and Beyoncé
214
00:08:57,362 --> 00:08:58,996
and Donna Summer
when you can do it
215
00:08:59,031 --> 00:09:01,198
every day right here at
William McKinley High School?
216
00:09:01,233 --> 00:09:02,733
Miss Jones is listening.
217
00:09:02,768 --> 00:09:04,201
Well, I-I want to audition,
218
00:09:04,236 --> 00:09:05,703
but I'm a-a nobody, you know?
219
00:09:05,737 --> 00:09:07,737
You know, I don't know
what song to sing,
220
00:09:07,739 --> 00:09:09,407
I don't know what to do
with my hands when I'm singing,
221
00:09:09,441 --> 00:09:11,342
I don't know how to
move all cool, like...
222
00:09:11,376 --> 00:09:14,445
like you do, because...
because you're you,
223
00:09:14,479 --> 00:09:16,681
and, well, I'm-I'm...
224
00:09:16,715 --> 00:09:18,349
I'm this.
225
00:09:18,383 --> 00:09:21,085
But inside, I'm-I'm more.
226
00:09:21,119 --> 00:09:23,020
Okay.
227
00:09:23,055 --> 00:09:24,388
I will help.
228
00:09:24,423 --> 00:09:25,756
First tip:
229
00:09:25,791 --> 00:09:27,858
you have an incredibly loud
sense of fashion...
230
00:09:27,893 --> 00:09:29,393
Which, you know, respect.
231
00:09:29,428 --> 00:09:31,228
But I see the way
that you slink around
232
00:09:31,263 --> 00:09:32,863
at this school.
Mm-hmm.
233
00:09:32,898 --> 00:09:34,799
It's time for your attitude
to match your outfits.
234
00:09:34,833 --> 00:09:36,801
I guess I just feel safer
235
00:09:36,835 --> 00:09:38,536
if I let all the clothes
do the talking.
236
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:39,770
In a way, it lets me
feel invisible.
237
00:09:39,805 --> 00:09:41,238
Not anymore.
238
00:09:41,273 --> 00:09:43,207
I think I might know
the perfect song for you.
239
00:09:43,241 --> 00:09:45,042
Hello, I'm Kurt Hummel
240
00:09:45,077 --> 00:09:46,444
and I'll be singing
"Mr. Cellophane."
241
00:09:46,478 --> 00:09:48,078
♪ Cellophane ♪
242
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,747
♪ Mr. Cellophane ♪
243
00:09:49,781 --> 00:09:52,483
♪ Should've been my name ♪
244
00:09:52,517 --> 00:09:54,418
♪ Mr. Cellophane ♪
245
00:09:54,453 --> 00:09:57,221
♪ 'Cause you can look
right through me ♪
246
00:09:57,255 --> 00:09:58,823
♪ Walk right by me ♪
247
00:09:58,857 --> 00:10:02,159
♪ And never know I'm there ♪
248
00:10:02,194 --> 00:10:03,995
♪ Never ♪
249
00:10:04,029 --> 00:10:05,062
♪ Even ♪
250
00:10:05,097 --> 00:10:13,070
♪ Know... ♪
251
00:10:13,105 --> 00:10:15,039
♪ I'm there. ♪
252
00:10:17,776 --> 00:10:20,177
Thank you. That was...
that was really nice.
253
00:10:27,286 --> 00:10:28,853
Hey, Dad!
254
00:10:28,887 --> 00:10:30,588
- I did it.
- Huh?
255
00:10:30,622 --> 00:10:33,257
- I joined a team.
- Hey, hey! All right!
256
00:10:33,292 --> 00:10:35,126
There we go, Kurt!
Which one?
257
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,428
- The Glee Club.
- What's Glee Club?
258
00:10:37,462 --> 00:10:39,597
It's amazing. We-we
sing and we dance
259
00:10:39,631 --> 00:10:42,533
and it's full of inducing
community-based activities.
260
00:10:42,567 --> 00:10:44,702
Look, uh, Kurt...
261
00:10:44,736 --> 00:10:46,704
it's not like I got
a problem with it.
262
00:10:46,738 --> 00:10:50,508
I'm all for singing and dancing,
but the point of this
263
00:10:50,542 --> 00:10:53,711
was for you to feel
what it's like to bond
264
00:10:53,745 --> 00:10:55,880
over a shared goal.
265
00:10:55,914 --> 00:10:57,715
Well, Glee Club
is-is kind of like that.
266
00:10:57,749 --> 00:10:59,383
At the end of the term,
we-we perform
267
00:10:59,418 --> 00:11:01,218
at this big competition
in front of an audience.
268
00:11:01,253 --> 00:11:02,887
Against other schools, you know?
269
00:11:02,921 --> 00:11:04,555
So it really is
like a sports team?
270
00:11:04,590 --> 00:11:06,057
Yeah, yeah, uh, kind of.
271
00:11:06,091 --> 00:11:07,825
Except with choreography
and Beyoncé.
272
00:11:07,859 --> 00:11:09,660
Who's Beyoncé? She one of
the girls on the team?
273
00:11:09,695 --> 00:11:12,697
No, Dad, she's, like, the
biggest pop star in the world.
274
00:11:12,731 --> 00:11:14,298
Oh.
I mean, we-we could use
275
00:11:14,333 --> 00:11:16,234
a-a strong male lead,
276
00:11:16,268 --> 00:11:20,705
but... I really think it's-it's
gonna be something special.
277
00:11:20,739 --> 00:11:22,740
Okay, good.
278
00:11:22,774 --> 00:11:24,408
This is good.
279
00:11:24,443 --> 00:11:25,977
I still think it'd do you good
280
00:11:26,011 --> 00:11:28,679
to be part of
a real sports team, but...
281
00:11:28,714 --> 00:11:30,481
well, you seem happy.
282
00:11:30,515 --> 00:11:35,720
Honestly, Dad, I don't
think I've ever been this
283
00:11:35,754 --> 00:11:38,022
genuinely excited
to go to school.
284
00:11:38,056 --> 00:11:40,124
Thanks for
pushing me to do this.
285
00:11:45,931 --> 00:11:48,411
Thanks for showing up
for yourself.
286
00:11:49,201 --> 00:11:50,501
Hey, Burt!
287
00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:52,436
Yeah?
288
00:11:54,573 --> 00:11:56,007
What?
289
00:11:56,041 --> 00:11:57,775
I'm gay, Dad.
290
00:11:57,809 --> 00:12:00,511
Please don't stop loving me,
but I'm gay.
291
00:12:00,546 --> 00:12:02,246
We good?
292
00:12:02,281 --> 00:12:03,781
I got to go deal with this.
293
00:12:03,815 --> 00:12:06,083
Yeah... yeah, yeah, we're good.
294
00:12:06,118 --> 00:12:07,785
Okay.
295
00:12:10,822 --> 00:12:12,223
Who needs me?
296
00:12:19,847 --> 00:12:21,815
My
name is Mercedes Jones,
297
00:12:21,849 --> 00:12:23,850
and I don't have a lot
of friends at this school.
298
00:12:23,885 --> 00:12:25,365
I mean, it's not like
I get picked on,
299
00:12:25,386 --> 00:12:27,354
and folks are nice, I guess,
300
00:12:27,388 --> 00:12:29,656
but there sure are a lot of
white folks here at McKinley.
301
00:12:29,691 --> 00:12:30,991
I mean, there is
that one black kid,
302
00:12:31,025 --> 00:12:32,192
but he's real boring.
303
00:12:32,226 --> 00:12:33,460
- Hey, Mercedes.
- Yeah. Hi.
304
00:12:33,494 --> 00:12:35,462
I'm a big star at my church,
305
00:12:35,496 --> 00:12:36,997
where everybody knows
I got a big-ass voice,
306
00:12:37,031 --> 00:12:38,865
but here, I'm just a nobody.
307
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:40,500
But that's all gonna change
real soon
308
00:12:40,535 --> 00:12:42,035
because I heard
they're jump-starting
309
00:12:42,070 --> 00:12:43,637
the singing club at McKinley,
310
00:12:43,671 --> 00:12:46,840
and Mercedes Jones has
decided to sign up.
311
00:12:49,444 --> 00:12:50,444
Excuse me, Mercedes Jones?
312
00:12:50,445 --> 00:12:51,912
Hi, I'm Rachel Berry.
313
00:12:51,946 --> 00:12:53,880
I saw that you signed up
for the Glee Club. Me, too.
314
00:12:53,915 --> 00:12:55,148
I can tell by
your sloppy signature
315
00:12:55,183 --> 00:12:56,583
that you have
a very strong personality,
316
00:12:56,617 --> 00:12:58,385
and I can tell by the way
that you hold your torso
317
00:12:58,419 --> 00:12:59,686
that you have
a very strong diaphragm,
318
00:12:59,721 --> 00:13:01,154
which means that
you're very talented.
319
00:13:01,189 --> 00:13:02,589
Which is good, because
I'm very talented, too.
320
00:13:02,624 --> 00:13:04,024
Well, it's nice to
meet you, Rachel.
321
00:13:04,025 --> 00:13:05,559
Guess I'll be seeing
you in Glee Club.
322
00:13:05,593 --> 00:13:07,394
we're both gonna be competing
323
00:13:07,428 --> 00:13:09,596
for the female lead, which I
want us to see as a good thing.
324
00:13:09,631 --> 00:13:10,697
My dads always say: the
person who's better than you,
325
00:13:10,732 --> 00:13:12,332
or maybe, in this case,
326
00:13:12,367 --> 00:13:13,700
maybe the person who's
almost as good as you
327
00:13:13,735 --> 00:13:15,269
should be considered
your best friend.
328
00:13:15,303 --> 00:13:17,037
Okay, let me just stop you
right there, because I can see
329
00:13:17,071 --> 00:13:18,438
what it is you're trying to do.
You're trying to get all
330
00:13:18,473 --> 00:13:20,274
in my head and make me nervous
like Ike Turner
331
00:13:20,308 --> 00:13:22,376
so you can swoop down
and get all the attention.
332
00:13:22,410 --> 00:13:24,044
But let me tell you something.
333
00:13:24,078 --> 00:13:25,445
I've been dealing with
this kind of nonsense
334
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,080
for the past three years
in my church choir,
335
00:13:27,115 --> 00:13:30,050
and I overcame it
and I'm over it.
336
00:13:30,084 --> 00:13:31,618
You go to one of those
singing black churches.
337
00:13:31,653 --> 00:13:33,020
That's amazing.
338
00:13:33,054 --> 00:13:35,622
One of my dads is black.
339
00:13:35,657 --> 00:13:37,557
See? Another thing
that we have in common.
340
00:13:37,592 --> 00:13:39,726
What?
A black dad.
341
00:13:39,761 --> 00:13:42,296
Okay, girl, I got
to go to gym class.
342
00:13:45,099 --> 00:13:47,734
I'd really love to
hear you sing one time.
343
00:13:47,769 --> 00:13:50,103
Maybe I could
come to your church.
344
00:13:50,138 --> 00:13:52,039
Are you serious?
345
00:13:52,073 --> 00:13:54,041
You want to come to my church?

387
00:16:13,481 --> 00:16:15,015
- Okay, bye-bye.
- Mercedes.
388
00:16:15,049 --> 00:16:17,351
I had no idea.
I saw something so special today
389
00:16:17,385 --> 00:16:19,419
that I would not have seen
had you not invited me.
390
00:16:19,454 --> 00:16:21,534
Well, I'm pretty sure
that you invited you,
391
00:16:21,556 --> 00:16:23,476
but I'm glad
that you felt something.
392
00:16:23,491 --> 00:16:25,592
I saw Mercedes Jones,
future R&B star.
393
00:16:25,627 --> 00:16:27,127
Your audience is gonna love you.
394
00:16:27,161 --> 00:16:28,896
Oh, so I hear
what you're saying:
395
00:16:28,930 --> 00:16:30,531
my audience isn't your audience.
I should've known.
396
00:16:30,565 --> 00:16:32,399
Should've known what?
397
00:16:32,433 --> 00:16:34,601
Rachel Berry,
you are officially on notice.
398
00:16:34,636 --> 00:16:38,405
Wherever you think your voice
can go, mine will be there, too.
399
00:16:42,477 --> 00:16:43,944
My name is Tina Cohen-Chang,
400
00:16:43,978 --> 00:16:45,812
and you don't care.
401
00:16:45,847 --> 00:16:48,949
I'm wildly unpopular,
but I love being unpopular.
402
00:16:48,983 --> 00:16:52,786
I'm trying to be unpopular,
because I am goth.
403
00:16:52,820 --> 00:16:56,723
Goths have no time for cliché
bougie high school cliques.
404
00:16:56,758 --> 00:16:58,559
We are the anti-clique.
405
00:16:58,593 --> 00:16:59,927
What's up,
Wu-Tang witch?
406
00:16:59,961 --> 00:17:02,095
You ride a broomstick
or a chop-a-stick?
407
00:17:02,130 --> 00:17:03,664
Eat m-m...
408
00:17:03,698 --> 00:17:05,632
D-Don't stutter.
It's not n-nice.
409
00:17:05,667 --> 00:17:07,907
The joke's on you,
Puckerman... my stutter is fake.
410
00:17:07,936 --> 00:17:09,670
Not even Meryl Streep herself
411
00:17:09,704 --> 00:17:11,839
could fake a stutter
for three and a half years.
412
00:17:11,873 --> 00:17:14,741
I could be a big, big star
if I weren't so shy.
413
00:17:14,776 --> 00:17:16,610
I need to work on that.
And I also need to
414
00:17:16,644 --> 00:17:18,278
stop talking to myself.
415
00:17:18,313 --> 00:17:20,747
Oh, shut up, Tina,
everybody talks to themselves.
416
00:17:20,782 --> 00:17:22,416
Begone, jocks.
417
00:17:22,450 --> 00:17:24,651
Begone, cheerleaders.
418
00:17:24,686 --> 00:17:26,854
You have no power here.
419
00:17:26,888 --> 00:17:28,622
True power comes from
nonconformity.
420
00:17:28,656 --> 00:17:30,490
That's why I embrace
the avant-garde
421
00:17:30,525 --> 00:17:33,327
and the unwanted, including
a boy in a wheelchair.
422
00:17:33,361 --> 00:17:34,795
What's shakin', bacon?
423
00:17:34,829 --> 00:17:36,096
N-N-Nothing.
424
00:17:36,130 --> 00:17:37,865
My name is Artie Abrams,
425
00:17:37,899 --> 00:17:39,666
and I'm in love
with Tina Cohen-Chang.
426
00:17:39,701 --> 00:17:41,201
She's not only sexy as hell,
427
00:17:41,236 --> 00:17:43,036
she also
treats me like a real person.
428
00:17:43,071 --> 00:17:44,938
Almost everyone else
around here looks at me
429
00:17:44,973 --> 00:17:46,974
like I have terminal cancer
and can somehow spread it
430
00:17:47,008 --> 00:17:49,810
through my wheelchair, but
Tina doesn't look at the chair.
431
00:17:49,844 --> 00:17:51,845
She looks at me.
She jokes with me,
432
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,780
argues with me,
and I know it sounds lame,
433
00:17:53,815 --> 00:17:56,450
but sometimes she even
touches my shoulder or my arm.
434
00:17:56,484 --> 00:17:58,285
It's nice, because
that never happens to me.
435
00:17:58,319 --> 00:17:59,553
She's my best friend.
436
00:17:59,587 --> 00:18:00,721
I love you.
437
00:18:00,755 --> 00:18:02,189
W-W-What?
438
00:18:02,223 --> 00:18:04,224
Nothing.
Uh, let's go eat, woman.
439
00:18:17,672 --> 00:18:19,039
I can't believe you guys did it.
440
00:18:19,073 --> 00:18:20,307
Of course we did it, Autobot,
441
00:18:20,341 --> 00:18:21,375
because you dared us to
and also because
442
00:18:21,409 --> 00:18:22,476
we don't give a what what.
443
00:18:22,510 --> 00:18:23,644
Yeah, and besides,
444
00:18:23,678 --> 00:18:24,878
that Rachel girl had it coming
445
00:18:24,913 --> 00:18:27,314
for making fun of my true form.
446
00:18:27,348 --> 00:18:30,417
Mr. Clarkson, his werewolf
heritage is not a real ethnicity
447
00:18:30,451 --> 00:18:32,085
and I'm allergic
to whatever roadkill he used
448
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:33,887
to make his tail out of.
449
00:18:33,922 --> 00:18:36,089
Well, she shouldn't have
ditched her otherkin identity.
450
00:18:36,124 --> 00:18:37,391
Quid pro quo, Tina Marie.
451
00:18:37,425 --> 00:18:39,092
W-What does that even m-mean?
452
00:18:39,127 --> 00:18:42,196
Well, Th-that means that
it's your turn to accept a dare,
453
00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:44,364
and I can think of quite a few.
454
00:18:44,399 --> 00:18:46,500
But I think
the most fun of all would be
455
00:18:46,534 --> 00:18:48,535
I dare you and Wheels
456
00:18:48,570 --> 00:18:50,237
to sign up
for the new Glee Club.
457
00:18:50,271 --> 00:18:51,338
Fine. Whatever.
458
00:18:51,372 --> 00:18:52,439
Who even cares?
459
00:18:52,474 --> 00:18:53,874

Thank you.
505
00:21:19,897 --> 00:21:22,366
- Ginuwine is a badass.
- Artie, that was
506
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,000
r-really, really good.
507
00:21:24,035 --> 00:21:25,502

- Seriously.
509
00:21:27,271 --> 00:21:29,271
That's the best voice
I have ever heard.
510
00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:40,050
Brad.
511
00:21:40,084 --> 00:21:41,752
Welcome, everybody!
512
00:21:41,786 --> 00:21:44,187
Can I just say
what an awesome job
513
00:21:44,222 --> 00:21:47,691
you all did in your auditions.
I was... I was blown away.
514
00:21:47,725 --> 00:21:49,559
Okay, so...
515
00:21:49,594 --> 00:21:52,429
grab a pair of gloves
and some sheet music.
516
00:21:52,463 --> 00:21:54,898
"S-S-S..." "Sit Down,
You're Rockin' the Boat"
517
00:21:54,932 --> 00:21:57,267
by the legendary Frank Loesser.
518
00:21:57,301 --> 00:21:58,669
We did this at
McKinley's Christmas concert
519
00:21:58,703 --> 00:22:00,704
my sophomore year,
and we got a standing O.
520
00:22:00,738 --> 00:22:03,240
Artie, why don't
you take the lead.
521
00:22:03,274 --> 00:22:04,608
- Yes!
- Mr. Schuester.
522
00:22:04,642 --> 00:22:06,076
With all due respect,
523
00:22:06,110 --> 00:22:07,511
I'm the only member here who was
524
00:22:07,545 --> 00:22:09,046
in Mr. Ryerson's
original Glee Club;
525
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,947
therefore, I should be
getting the first solo.
526
00:22:10,982 --> 00:22:12,849
Say what?
527
00:22:12,884 --> 00:22:15,285
It's the first song; it sets
the precedent for everything.
528
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,587
Rachel, Artie's gonna
sing the first solo, period.
529
00:22:17,622 --> 00:22:19,302
You and everyone else
are gonna have plenty
530
00:22:19,323 --> 00:22:21,892
of opportunities for a
solo; we'll all take turns.
531
00:22:21,926 --> 00:22:23,927
In fact, I was thinking
for sectionals, we would do
532
00:22:23,961 --> 00:22:26,730
a medley from Grease.
Who wants the Sandy part?
533
00:22:26,764 --> 00:22:28,632
Is this even a
discussion right now?!
534
00:22:28,666 --> 00:22:30,634
I'm the only person in this room
who can play Sandy!
535
00:22:30,668 --> 00:22:32,869
- Why? Because you're white?
- Okay, I wouldn't dream
536
00:22:32,904 --> 00:22:35,906
of being Mrs. Saigon
or black Dorothy from the Wiz,
537
00:22:35,940 --> 00:22:38,420
but if we want to be taken
seriously as a glee club,
538
00:22:38,443 --> 00:22:39,976
then it can't be about color
or disability or whatever.
539
00:22:40,011 --> 00:22:42,045
It has to be about who
has the best voice.
540
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,081
Exactly. That would be me.
541
00:22:47,151 --> 00:22:48,218
Let's warm up.
542
00:22:48,252 --> 00:22:49,492
Brad.
543
00:23:04,802 --> 00:23:06,269
I thought you were
finishing up out here?
544
00:23:06,303 --> 00:23:08,304
I-I was just taking
a little break.
545
00:23:08,339 --> 00:23:09,699
You just left
the vacuum cleaner on
546
00:23:09,707 --> 00:23:11,107
so that I would think
you were cleaning
547
00:23:11,142 --> 00:23:12,742
while you were goofing off
with the sheet music.
548
00:23:12,776 --> 00:23:15,578
There is a division
of labor in this house, Will.
549
00:23:15,613 --> 00:23:17,113
You do the cooking and cleaning,
550
00:23:17,148 --> 00:23:19,115
and I will carry our children
when we have them.
551
00:23:19,150 --> 00:23:20,817
Which might not be anytime soon
552
00:23:20,851 --> 00:23:22,785
because I'm sure all this
extra free work you're doing
553
00:23:22,820 --> 00:23:24,320
for the Glee Club
is tiring you out
554
00:23:24,355 --> 00:23:26,089
and making your sperm stressed.
555
00:23:26,123 --> 00:23:27,490
You're right.
556
00:23:27,525 --> 00:23:29,492
I am stressed.
557
00:23:29,527 --> 00:23:32,328
And I'm sure my sperm's stressed, too.
Mm-hmm.
558
00:23:32,363 --> 00:23:34,430
The Glee Club is one day old,
and there's already in-fighting.
559
00:23:34,465 --> 00:23:37,033
Which is
kind of my fault,
560
00:23:37,067 --> 00:23:38,668
because I asked
who wanted the first solo,
561
00:23:38,702 --> 00:23:40,637
and Rachel and Mercedes
both raised their hands,
562
00:23:40,671 --> 00:23:42,138
and I don't want to
disappoint either of them.
563
00:23:42,173 --> 00:23:44,174
Just give it to whichever one
is the most pathetic.
564
00:23:44,208 --> 00:23:46,609
It's much harder to be jealous
of someone when you think
565
00:23:46,644 --> 00:23:48,211
you're better than they are.
566
00:23:48,245 --> 00:23:50,113
Even if they get something
that you want.
567
00:23:50,147 --> 00:23:51,714
I love it when you're all smart.
568
00:23:51,749 --> 00:23:53,316
Oh.
569
00:23:56,253 --> 00:23:58,721
I'm only gonna
ask you this once,
570
00:23:58,756 --> 00:24:02,025
and then I promise I will never
bring up the Glee Club again.
571
00:24:02,059 --> 00:24:04,360
Okay.
572
00:24:04,395 --> 00:24:06,529
Is it worth it?
573
00:24:06,564 --> 00:24:08,164
I mean, you know
I'm a little bit psychic.
574
00:24:08,199 --> 00:24:09,866
I have a bad feeling about this.
575
00:24:09,900 --> 00:24:12,669
How could anything bad
come out of a glee club?
576
00:24:12,703 --> 00:24:14,871
Because look how distracted
you are by it already.
577
00:24:14,905 --> 00:24:17,674
What if you end up spending
so much time with the glee kids
578
00:24:17,708 --> 00:24:19,676
that you start neglecting
our time together?
579
00:24:19,710 --> 00:24:21,511
I don't want to become
one of those ignored wives
580
00:24:21,545 --> 00:24:22,579
who has an affair.
581
00:24:22,613 --> 00:24:25,215
You are the love of my life.
582
00:24:25,249 --> 00:24:28,685
And nothing is ever gonna
take you away from me.
583
00:24:32,857 --> 00:24:34,457
Good.
584
00:24:38,255 --> 00:24:40,389
Mr. Schuester, how's the search for
our male lead going?
585
00:24:40,423 --> 00:24:43,192
I took the initiative of making
a list of potential candidates
586
00:24:43,226 --> 00:24:44,693
- based on their yearbook photos.
- Um, thanks, Rachel.
587
00:24:44,728 --> 00:24:46,562
But I was actually headed
to the locker room
588
00:24:46,596 --> 00:24:48,898
- to see if, uh, any of the football
players signed up. - Great.
589
00:24:48,932 --> 00:24:50,332
I also made a list
of all the reasons
590
00:24:50,367 --> 00:24:51,834
why I should be getting
the first solo.
591
00:24:51,868 --> 00:24:53,202
I think it would make
an important statement
592
00:24:53,236 --> 00:24:54,737
to the rest of the team
if you told them
593
00:24:54,771 --> 00:24:57,251
right at the beginning
that I'm the star.
594
00:24:58,041 --> 00:25:00,509
Oh, my God.
595
00:25:00,544 --> 00:25:01,877
A-Are you okay?
596
00:25:04,047 --> 00:25:06,015
I told you.
597
00:25:06,049 --> 00:25:08,217
Everyone hates me.
598
00:25:10,053 --> 00:25:11,620
Everybody up!
599
00:25:11,655 --> 00:25:13,422
We're moving to the auditorium.
600
00:25:13,457 --> 00:25:14,790
Alcoholics Anonymous
has the auditorium.
601
00:25:14,825 --> 00:25:16,091
Not anymore.
602
00:25:16,126 --> 00:25:17,860
Principal Figgins
believes in us so much,
603
00:25:17,894 --> 00:25:19,094
he's giving it to us.
604
00:25:19,129 --> 00:25:20,896
For a while.
605
00:25:20,931 --> 00:25:23,766
Let's go. And grab a copy of
"You're the One That I Want."
606
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,267
Hold up, who gets
to sing the Sandy part?
607
00:25:25,302 --> 00:25:26,836
Rachel.
608
00:25:27,904 --> 00:25:29,472
Are you serious?
609
00:25:29,506 --> 00:25:31,907
I can blow the roof
off that auditorium.
610
00:25:31,942 --> 00:25:33,542
Her little bitty Jewish voice
won't make it
611
00:25:33,577 --> 00:25:35,311
- past the third row.
- Racist!
612
00:25:35,345 --> 00:25:37,746
And untrue. I can belt just
as good as you, better even.
613
00:25:37,781 --> 00:25:39,748
Oh, really?
Well, let's prove it.
614
00:25:39,783 --> 00:25:42,284
Let's have a sing-off
right here, right now.
615
00:25:42,319 --> 00:25:44,053
We're not having a sing-off!
616
00:25:44,087 --> 00:25:46,055
Although that's not a bad idea
for a future exercise.
617
00:25:46,089 --> 00:25:48,157
Rachel has this solo.
618
00:25:48,191 --> 00:25:49,458
Like I said,
you'll all take turns.
619
00:25:49,493 --> 00:25:51,427
Except the white girl
goes first.
620
00:25:51,461 --> 00:25:53,496
The white girl
always goes first.
621
00:26:01,004 --> 00:26:03,005
Hey.
622
00:26:06,143 --> 00:26:08,144
I didn't get the solo.
623
00:26:10,147 --> 00:26:14,517
I lost it to that demented
little Beanie Baby.
624
00:26:14,551 --> 00:26:17,987
Mr. Schuester is never
gonna give me a solo.
625
00:26:18,021 --> 00:26:20,189
It's a waste of time;
I'm gonna quit.
626
00:26:20,223 --> 00:26:23,526
Nobody in there is gonna see me
the way that I see myself.
627
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,528
Mercedes.
628
00:26:25,562 --> 00:26:26,829
You are so young.
629
00:26:26,863 --> 00:26:29,131
Glee Club just started.
630
00:26:29,133 --> 00:26:31,267
Who knows
what your future holds?
631
00:26:31,301 --> 00:26:33,769
Mercedes,
632
00:26:33,804 --> 00:26:37,006
you are a star.
633
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,008
But part of the responsibility
634
00:26:39,042 --> 00:26:40,976
that goes along
with being a star
635
00:26:41,011 --> 00:26:44,046
is learning to share
the spotlight.
636
00:26:44,081 --> 00:26:47,950
Maybe she's gonna get the solos
637
00:26:47,984 --> 00:26:50,286
because she needs it more
than you do right now.
638
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,989
Truth is, Mercedes, Rachel
will make you better.
639
00:26:54,024 --> 00:26:56,225
Her drive and ambition
640
00:26:56,259 --> 00:26:59,061
will help you raise
your expectations of yourself,
641
00:26:59,096 --> 00:27:01,530
and you can use that
to become great.
642
00:27:01,565 --> 00:27:03,532
And I have a feeling
643
00:27:03,567 --> 00:27:05,668
you two are gonna
become great friends.
644
00:27:08,772 --> 00:27:11,240
Stars have a way
of finding each other.
645
00:27:11,274 --> 00:27:13,109
Okay, come here.
646
00:27:17,114 --> 00:27:18,347
There you go, Sue.
647
00:27:18,381 --> 00:27:19,749
Some principals would say
648
00:27:19,783 --> 00:27:22,852
that importing a rare silk
trampoline mat
649
00:27:22,886 --> 00:27:26,422
from China is an extravagance,
but not this principal.
650
00:27:26,456 --> 00:27:29,658
The Cheerios! Are McKinley
High's number one priority.
651
00:27:29,693 --> 00:27:31,894
Oh, thank you so much,
Principal Figgins.
652
00:27:31,928 --> 00:27:33,562
I could have never
led my Cheerios!
653
00:27:33,597 --> 00:27:37,199
To a record five consecutive
national championships
654
00:27:37,234 --> 00:27:39,101
without you.
655
00:27:39,136 --> 00:27:41,103
Actually, I could have done it
very easily without you.
656
00:27:41,138 --> 00:27:43,419
Oh, uh, and that reminds me.
I have a question for you.
657
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,840
Hmm?
658
00:27:44,875 --> 00:27:46,709
What exactly is going on
with Will Schuester
659
00:27:46,743 --> 00:27:48,177
taking over the show choir?
660
00:27:48,211 --> 00:27:50,012
The Glee Club?
661
00:27:50,046 --> 00:27:52,715
Why, Sue, that's nothing
but a trifling.
662
00:27:52,749 --> 00:27:54,717
Well, I just want to be clear
that the star performers
663
00:27:54,751 --> 00:27:56,719
at this high school
are my Cheerios!,
664
00:27:56,753 --> 00:27:58,621
and I should hope
it remains that way.
665
00:27:58,655 --> 00:28:00,256
Oh, Sue, don't worry.
666
00:28:00,290 --> 00:28:03,726
You are my star.
You are on Fox Sports Net.
667
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,694
- Yes. - And besides, show
choir won't last.
668
00:28:05,729 --> 00:28:09,398
Will only has five students,
one of them a cripple.
669
00:28:09,433 --> 00:28:11,567
And children these days
aren't interested
670
00:28:11,601 --> 00:28:13,936
in singing to each other.
671
00:28:13,970 --> 00:28:17,039
They're too busy with
their Friendster and Myspace
672
00:28:17,074 --> 00:28:18,541
and Blockbuster Video.
673
00:28:18,575 --> 00:28:20,476
These are things
that are here to stay.
674
00:28:20,510 --> 00:28:22,211
Well, I don't know.
675
00:28:22,245 --> 00:28:26,048
I have a bad feeling
about this Glee Club.
676
00:28:34,424 --> 00:28:35,925
Come on, go!
677
00:28:35,959 --> 00:28:37,393
Okay, come on.
678
00:28:37,427 --> 00:28:39,295
Traveling.
679
00:28:39,329 --> 00:28:41,731
Hey!
680
00:28:41,765 --> 00:28:43,733
Hey, you know, because
we're best friends,
681
00:28:43,767 --> 00:28:45,801
I want to ask you something frankly.
Sure.
682
00:28:45,836 --> 00:28:47,236
Wait, I-I'm your
best friend?
683
00:28:47,270 --> 00:28:49,438
I-I know nothing about you.
We hardly even talk.
684
00:28:49,473 --> 00:28:51,240
We just play basketball
once a week.
685
00:28:51,274 --> 00:28:53,008
Yeah, like I said, best friends.
686
00:28:54,277 --> 00:28:56,078
What are your...
Thank you.
687
00:28:56,113 --> 00:28:58,080
What are your intentions
with this Glee Club?
688
00:28:58,115 --> 00:28:59,281
Intentions?
I don't know.
689
00:28:59,316 --> 00:29:00,950
I guess we'll have to find out.
690
00:29:00,984 --> 00:29:02,351
I don't know, I just...
691
00:29:02,386 --> 00:29:04,353
I look around this school,
I see all these kids
692
00:29:04,388 --> 00:29:05,788
who don't have the arts
in their lives,
693
00:29:05,822 --> 00:29:07,790
and I want them
to have what I had...
694
00:29:07,824 --> 00:29:10,192
A place where they can go
to experience the joy of music.
695
00:29:10,227 --> 00:29:11,961
Yeah, well, they already
have that, William.
696
00:29:11,995 --> 00:29:14,196
It's called the iPod.
I don't know, being a part
697
00:29:14,231 --> 00:29:16,265
of Glee Club was the best thing
that ever happened to me.
698
00:29:16,299 --> 00:29:18,200
Now you're a high school
Spanish teacher.
699
00:29:19,503 --> 00:29:21,270
Will, the students
at this school
700
00:29:21,304 --> 00:29:22,705
aren't going to
become performers.
701
00:29:22,739 --> 00:29:24,040
They're not gonna become
professional singers
702
00:29:24,074 --> 00:29:25,508
or dancers or actors.
703
00:29:25,542 --> 00:29:27,443
They'll be fry cooks
and auto mechanics.
704
00:29:27,477 --> 00:29:30,279
And it's really unfair of you
to suggest anything otherwise.
705
00:29:30,313 --> 00:29:34,050
Fostering unrealistic dreams
in these kids will accomplish
706
00:29:34,084 --> 00:29:35,818
absolutely nothing
but to make their lives
707
00:29:35,852 --> 00:29:39,121
that much more dark
and depressing.
708
00:29:39,156 --> 00:29:41,991
I'm sorry, Sue.
I just disagree.
709
00:29:42,025 --> 00:29:43,959
I mean, the arts are important.
710
00:29:43,994 --> 00:29:46,295
Certainly more important
than cheerleading.
711
00:29:46,330 --> 00:29:47,697
How dare you.
712
00:29:47,731 --> 00:29:49,365
And I think,
with a little hard work,
713
00:29:49,399 --> 00:29:51,500
this Glee Club could
really accomplish something.
714
00:29:51,535 --> 00:29:53,536
I got Finn Hudson to sign up,
715
00:29:53,570 --> 00:29:55,805
and he's the captain
of the football team, so...
716
00:29:55,839 --> 00:29:57,506
who knows
what our future could hold?
717
00:29:57,541 --> 00:30:00,176
I'm gonna give you an
ultimatum, William.
718
00:30:00,410 --> 00:30:01,911
You either drop this Glee Club,
719
00:30:01,945 --> 00:30:04,213
or you and I will cease
to be friends.
720
00:30:04,247 --> 00:30:05,807
What?
721
00:30:07,317 --> 00:30:08,717
Are you serious?
722
00:30:08,752 --> 00:30:10,185
You do not want to make
723
00:30:10,220 --> 00:30:12,588
an enemy out of Sue Sylvester.
724
00:30:12,622 --> 00:30:14,456
You don't want to do that.
725
00:30:21,164 --> 00:30:22,965
Sorry, Sue.
726
00:30:23,567 --> 00:30:25,634
No deal.
727
00:30:26,670 --> 00:30:28,671
♪ ♪
728
00:30:36,169 --> 00:30:38,470
The sun is not the biggest nor
the brightest star in the sky.
729
00:30:38,504 --> 00:30:40,105
It's just the closest.
730
00:30:40,139 --> 00:30:42,374
There are bigger, brighter,
better stars.
731
00:30:42,408 --> 00:30:44,042
That's what I am.
732
00:30:44,076 --> 00:30:47,012
I will be
the biggest star of them all.
733
00:30:49,282 --> 00:30:52,117
Myspace is pretty much
the greatest invention ever.
734
00:30:52,151 --> 00:30:55,053
It democratizes performance and
lets anyone express themself
735
00:30:55,087 --> 00:30:57,789
to a wide audience from
the comfort of their own home.
736
00:30:57,824 --> 00:31:00,759
That's why I invested
all of my Bat Mitzvah money
737
00:31:00,793 --> 00:31:03,128
in the company.
Unfortunately, the Internet
738
00:31:03,162 --> 00:31:05,664
has also created the
democratization of criticism.
739
00:31:05,698 --> 00:31:07,299
Now people can anonymously
say things to me
740
00:31:07,333 --> 00:31:08,967
that they would
never have the guts
741
00:31:09,001 --> 00:31:10,635
to say to my face.
742
00:31:10,670 --> 00:31:12,737
I am proud to say
that I have grown numb
743
00:31:12,772 --> 00:31:14,972
to the cruelty, but
none of it is going to happen
744
00:31:14,974 --> 00:31:17,943
if there's no Glee Club.
Rumor has it that Mr. Shue's
745
00:31:17,977 --> 00:31:20,412
horrible wife told him last
night that she's with child.
746
00:31:20,446 --> 00:31:22,514
Time's are tough, and
he's probably gonna leave us
747
00:31:22,548 --> 00:31:23,949
for a high-paying job.
748
00:31:23,983 --> 00:31:25,517
That's the inciting incident.
749
00:31:25,551 --> 00:31:27,586
Glee Club is
the cosmic explosion that will
750
00:31:27,620 --> 00:31:30,155
propel the hot balloon
of light and gas
751
00:31:30,189 --> 00:31:31,990
that is my stardom
towards Earth...
752
00:31:32,024 --> 00:31:34,125
Specifically Midtown...
And without Will Schuester,
753
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,694
there's no Glee Club.
754
00:31:35,728 --> 00:31:37,688
There's no convincing him
to change.
755
00:31:37,697 --> 00:31:40,632
If I want him to give up on
this stupid accounting thing,
756
00:31:40,666 --> 00:31:43,201
I have to go talk directly to his boss.
757
00:31:43,236 --> 00:31:46,304
I am very aware that it is the
job off the assistant manager
758
00:31:46,339 --> 00:31:49,541
to stock the novelty sheets,
Howard, but I am pregnant,
759
00:31:49,575 --> 00:31:52,043
and my doctor says I
need to take it easy.
760
00:31:52,078 --> 00:31:54,045
- Are you on bed rest?
- Oh, not officially,
761
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,547
but I'm sure I will
be soon enough.
762
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:57,341
And even sooner,
if you keep stressing me out
763
00:31:57,350 --> 00:31:59,310
by complaining that you can't
do my job right now.
764
00:31:59,318 --> 00:32:01,219
No, no, no, I-I'm sorry.
765
00:32:01,254 --> 00:32:04,689
I'll-I'll just give up sleeping
for a while to get it all done.
766
00:32:06,225 --> 00:32:08,059
Mrs. Schuester,
I'm Rachel Berry.
767
00:32:08,094 --> 00:32:09,461
I'm one of
your husband's students,
768
00:32:09,495 --> 00:32:10,695
Glee Club specifically.
769
00:32:10,730 --> 00:32:13,465
- I'm working.
- First of all,
770
00:32:13,499 --> 00:32:15,233
I just wanted to congratulate
you on your new addition.
771
00:32:15,268 --> 00:32:17,035
I can tell that you already
have the pregnancy glow.
772
00:32:17,069 --> 00:32:18,904
Oh. Thank you.
773
00:32:18,938 --> 00:32:20,806
Second of all, I just wanted to
ask you to reconsider guilting
774
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,542
your husband into quitting his
job and becoming an accountant.
775
00:32:23,576 --> 00:32:26,311
Here's what I've learned in the
years since I left high school.
776
00:32:26,345 --> 00:32:28,413
There's who you are, and
there's who you think you are.
777
00:32:28,448 --> 00:32:30,715
And your level of
personal misery is determined
778
00:32:30,750 --> 00:32:32,851
by how big the gap is
between them.
779
00:32:32,885 --> 00:32:36,488
It's my job as a wife to help
my husband see who he really is,
780
00:32:36,522 --> 00:32:39,257
rather than going after
who he thinks he ought to be.
781
00:32:39,292 --> 00:32:41,226
That's how I keep him happy.
782
00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:43,829
But isn't the point of life to
imagine yourself doing something
783
00:32:43,863 --> 00:32:46,331
greater, then working hard
to achieve all of your dreams?
784
00:32:46,365 --> 00:32:48,100
Yes, if it's realistic.
785
00:32:48,134 --> 00:32:50,936
See, I want a bigger house,
and I want to decorate it
786
00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:52,370
with the entire catalog
from Pottery Barn,
787
00:32:52,405 --> 00:32:54,239
and I can have those things.
788
00:32:54,273 --> 00:32:57,509
But not if I'm gonna let Will
ruin it by chasing after a dream
789
00:32:57,543 --> 00:32:59,511
that doesn't change our lives
in any measurable way.
790
00:32:59,545 --> 00:33:01,379
Oh, but he would be helping...
Mainly me...
791
00:33:01,414 --> 00:33:02,948
To achieve my full potential.
792
00:33:02,982 --> 00:33:04,616
That's not gonna help
Mama buy personalized.
793
00:33:04,650 --> 00:33:06,952
Mr. and Mrs. throw pillows
from the monogram shop.
794
00:33:06,986 --> 00:33:10,922
Do not put the plush blankets
with the novelty sheets!
795
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,229
You're stressing out my baby.
796
00:33:19,398 --> 00:33:20,766
Mrs. Schuester,
797
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,300
I am begging you to reconsider.
798
00:33:22,335 --> 00:33:23,935
Mr. Schuester listens to you.
799
00:33:23,970 --> 00:33:25,604
Yes, because he's my husband.
800
00:33:25,638 --> 00:33:28,940
And it is my job to bring
structure to our family,
801
00:33:28,975 --> 00:33:31,810
and his job to do as I say.
802
00:33:34,514 --> 00:33:37,949
I always wanted to be in
an all-male a Capella group.
803
00:33:38,985 --> 00:33:41,420
I guess my dream is dead, too.
804
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:48,093
First the almighty Finn
Hudson joins Glee Club,
805
00:33:48,127 --> 00:33:50,562
and everyone rejoices
like he's baby Jesus.
806
00:33:50,596 --> 00:33:52,230
Then he quits, then he rejoins,
807
00:33:52,265 --> 00:33:54,266
then he immediately
starts bossing us around
808
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:56,860
like we're his slaves, and we're
supposed to be happy about that?
809
00:33:56,869 --> 00:33:58,437
We need him though, Kurt.
810
00:33:58,471 --> 00:34:00,238
Why? Because
he's popular?
811
00:34:00,273 --> 00:34:01,907
No, he's not only popular.
812
00:34:01,941 --> 00:34:04,443
He's at the top of the damn
McKinley High food chain.
813
00:34:04,477 --> 00:34:06,912
But I don't know...
Maybe he needs us, too.
814
00:34:06,946 --> 00:34:08,814
Oh, yeah, sure. The guy
with the perfect life
815
00:34:08,848 --> 00:34:10,649
needs to hang out with
the damaged goods.
816
00:34:10,683 --> 00:34:11,817
Who you calling "damaged goods"?
817
00:34:11,851 --> 00:34:13,418
No one!
818
00:34:13,453 --> 00:34:15,287
I'm just saying that
I don't trust him.
819
00:34:15,321 --> 00:34:17,856
I mean, he already gets
everything that he wants.
820
00:34:17,890 --> 00:34:20,592
What is he doing barging into
our club and taking it over?
821
00:34:20,626 --> 00:34:22,928
Mark my words, he's gonna get
822
00:34:22,962 --> 00:34:24,602
some jocks and some
Cheerios! To join him,
823
00:34:24,630 --> 00:34:26,665
and then we are
gonna get pushed out.
824
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:27,866
Oh, no.
825
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:29,134
Nobody pushes out
Mercedes Jones.
826
00:34:29,168 --> 00:34:31,369
Or Kurt Hummel.
I will not allow it.
827
00:34:31,404 --> 00:34:33,105
No, sir.
828
00:34:33,139 --> 00:34:35,874
You know, now that
I think about it,
829
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:37,943
he was pretty bossy today.
830
00:34:37,977 --> 00:34:40,479
I cannot believe he convinced
me to make our costumes.
831
00:34:40,513 --> 00:34:42,447
Oh, by the way,
if you need help with that,
832
00:34:42,482 --> 00:34:43,949
I'm more than happy to pitch in.
833
00:34:43,983 --> 00:34:45,650
You can't go wrong
with red and denim.
834
00:34:45,685 --> 00:34:48,165
How did you become so
smart and adorable?
835
00:34:51,524 --> 00:34:53,458
Oh.
836
00:34:53,493 --> 00:34:55,193
Baby, can you hand
me some sugar?
837
00:34:55,228 --> 00:34:56,628
Oh.
838
00:34:56,662 --> 00:34:58,163
Sure.
839
00:34:58,197 --> 00:34:59,831
Thanks!
840
00:34:59,866 --> 00:35:01,533
You're the only openly
gay person I know.
841
00:35:01,567 --> 00:35:02,734
That is so brave of you.
842
00:35:02,769 --> 00:35:04,403
Well, coming out was
843
00:35:04,437 --> 00:35:05,737
the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.
844
00:35:05,772 --> 00:35:07,639
But I'm telling you
it feels so nice
845
00:35:07,673 --> 00:35:09,541
to not be living a lie anymore.
846
00:35:09,575 --> 00:35:11,143
So what about you, Joby?
847
00:35:11,177 --> 00:35:12,677
Are you thinking about
coming out anytime soon?
848
00:35:12,712 --> 00:35:14,513
What? I-I'm not gay.
849
00:35:14,547 --> 00:35:15,881
I'm straight as an arrow.
850
00:35:15,915 --> 00:35:17,315
I'm attracted to women.
851
00:35:17,350 --> 00:35:18,350
Obviously, of course.
852
00:35:18,384 --> 00:35:20,052
Um, I-I had no idea, I...
853
00:35:20,086 --> 00:35:22,254
I mean, it's obvious
that Rachel's only
854
00:35:22,288 --> 00:35:24,189
letting him stay in the club
because she has
855
00:35:24,223 --> 00:35:25,757
a fat crush on him.
856
00:35:25,792 --> 00:35:26,992
So do you. No, I don't.
857
00:35:27,026 --> 00:35:28,860
Oh, get real, you do, too.
858
00:35:28,895 --> 00:35:30,328
Yeah, maybe you're right.
859
00:35:30,363 --> 00:35:33,231
Maybe having Finn Hudson around
is a mistake.
860
00:35:33,266 --> 00:35:35,701
I'm gonna call
an emergency meeting.
861
00:35:43,018 --> 00:35:45,019
And another thing... he wants us
to do "Don't Stop Believin'."
862
00:35:45,053 --> 00:35:46,287
Our audience is
gonna think we're doing
863
00:35:46,321 --> 00:35:47,755
a salute to The Sopranos finale.
864
00:35:47,789 --> 00:35:50,524
- You guys started without me?
- Uh, hell yeah, Berry.
865
00:35:50,559 --> 00:35:52,093
- You're, like, ten minutes late.
- You're lucky that I came
866
00:35:52,127 --> 00:35:53,961
at all and I don't think
that we should be having
867
00:35:53,996 --> 00:35:56,163
emergency meetings without all
of our members, including Finn.
868
00:35:56,198 --> 00:35:57,798
That's what this is about.
869
00:35:57,833 --> 00:35:59,767
Okay, we're having
second thoughts about him.
870
00:35:59,801 --> 00:36:01,302
For the record,
not all of us are.
871
00:36:01,336 --> 00:36:02,837
Okay, we can't kick him out.
872
00:36:02,871 --> 00:36:04,772
I just personally
persuaded him to come back.
873
00:36:04,806 --> 00:36:07,008
Them personally
persuade him to quit.
874
00:36:07,042 --> 00:36:09,644
It shouldn't be that difficult.
He's already quit once before.
875
00:36:09,678 --> 00:36:11,178
Look, it's obvious that Artie
876
00:36:11,213 --> 00:36:14,282
and I don't fit your idea
of a proper leading man.
877
00:36:14,316 --> 00:36:17,118
And honestly I don't care, but
he shouldn't be an evil jock.
878
00:36:17,152 --> 00:36:18,819
I don't think
that Finn Hudson is evil.
879
00:36:18,854 --> 00:36:20,655
Now, his girlfriend,
Quinn Fabray?
880
00:36:20,689 --> 00:36:21,689
She's a grade-A bitch.
881
00:36:21,723 --> 00:36:23,524
Hey, all I know
882
00:36:23,559 --> 00:36:26,394
is that when the jocks locked
me in that nasty Porta-Potty,
883
00:36:26,428 --> 00:36:28,496
Finn Hudson rescued me.
884
00:36:28,530 --> 00:36:30,798
Then, after rehearsal,
he wheeled me home.
885
00:36:30,832 --> 00:36:33,801
He wheeled me all the way home,
886
00:36:33,835 --> 00:36:35,403
and he told my mom what happened
887
00:36:35,437 --> 00:36:37,138
and he apologized to her.
888
00:36:37,172 --> 00:36:39,040
So, he's not evil.
889
00:36:39,074 --> 00:36:41,742
Not by a long shot.
He's never called me fat.
890
00:36:41,777 --> 00:36:43,878
I mean, that's better than most
of the jerks at this school.
891
00:36:43,912 --> 00:36:46,013
I guess when I got tossed
into the Dumpster,
892
00:36:46,048 --> 00:36:48,049
he let me take off
my Marc Jacobs jacket.
893
00:36:48,083 --> 00:36:49,750
That was kind of nice.
894
00:36:49,785 --> 00:36:52,486
He is awfully c-cute.
895
00:36:52,521 --> 00:36:55,856
Maybe he's not
that different than us.
896
00:36:55,891 --> 00:36:57,158
Maybe he just
897
00:36:57,192 --> 00:36:58,993
wants to be accepted
for who he is
898
00:36:59,027 --> 00:37:01,028
and not for
what people label him as.
899
00:37:01,063 --> 00:37:03,030
And if we start
excluding people,
900
00:37:03,065 --> 00:37:05,633
then we're no different
than the people who exclude us.
901
00:37:07,736 --> 00:37:11,372
So far, my time
at McKinley has sucked.
902
00:37:11,406 --> 00:37:14,308
But... not this week.
903
00:37:16,311 --> 00:37:18,579
I made some friends.
904
00:37:18,614 --> 00:37:21,215
And that's always been
really hard for me.
905
00:37:22,918 --> 00:37:26,020
I don't know what's gonna happen
with this club,
906
00:37:26,054 --> 00:37:28,022
but...
907
00:37:28,056 --> 00:37:30,358
maybe it'll be
something special.
908
00:37:30,392 --> 00:37:32,193
Maybe it'll be
909
00:37:32,227 --> 00:37:35,096
somewhere safe where we can...
910
00:37:35,130 --> 00:37:37,932
learn from each other
and be who we are,
911
00:37:37,966 --> 00:37:40,801
including people
who are different than us.
912
00:37:40,836 --> 00:37:43,704
When we look back
on our time here,
913
00:37:43,739 --> 00:37:45,540
we should be proud.
914
00:37:45,574 --> 00:37:49,744
For what we did
and-and who we included.
915
00:37:52,014 --> 00:37:54,482
All in favor of keeping Finn
in the Glee Club?
916
00:37:55,484 --> 00:37:56,551
Aye.
917
00:37:56,585 --> 00:37:57,318
Aye.
918
00:37:57,352 --> 00:37:58,352
Aye.
919
00:38:00,022 --> 00:38:02,456
Aye.
920
00:38:04,193 --> 00:38:07,128
Aye.
921
00:38:07,162 --> 00:38:08,829
For the last time,
my hands are tied.
922
00:38:08,864 --> 00:38:11,165
I can't offer Will Schuester
a raise to run a club
923
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,068
that no one cares about
and has only six members!
924
00:38:14,102 --> 00:38:15,803
Fine, then we're gonna lose Will
Schuester, and it's gonna be
925
00:38:15,837 --> 00:38:17,471
under your leadership
that McKinley High becomes
926
00:38:17,506 --> 00:38:19,273
the most recent in a very long
line of public schools
927
00:38:19,308 --> 00:38:22,109
that offer no performing arts
whatsoever!
928
00:38:22,144 --> 00:38:24,512
And that's a fact
that wounds me deeply,
929
00:38:24,546 --> 00:38:27,682
neurotic, adorable Guidance
Counselor Emma Pillsbury.
930
00:38:27,716 --> 00:38:30,818
I can't offer Will
Schuester more money,
931
00:38:30,853 --> 00:38:33,387
but I can offer him
something better.
932
00:38:34,456 --> 00:38:38,493
A precious adolescent memory.
933
00:38:38,527 --> 00:38:40,194
I scoured McKinley's archives
934
00:38:40,229 --> 00:38:41,963
and found this footage
935
00:38:41,997 --> 00:38:46,367
of the 1993 National Show Choir
Championship
936
00:38:46,401 --> 00:38:51,305

I just heard the great news.
945
00:39:31,213 --> 00:39:33,481
Oh, thanks. Yeah.
Terri and I are really excited.
946
00:39:33,515 --> 00:39:35,316
We've been talking
about kids for a while.
947
00:39:35,350 --> 00:39:37,885
No, not that news. Knocking
somebody up isn't difficult
948
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,087
and hardly merits
a congratulations.
949
00:39:40,122 --> 00:39:42,056
No, I'm talking about
your other news,
950
00:39:42,090 --> 00:39:44,192
your leaving the profession
of teaching.
951
00:39:44,226 --> 00:39:46,227
Oh, uh... You know, to
be honest with you,
952
00:39:46,261 --> 00:39:47,895
teaching is for losers.
953
00:39:47,930 --> 00:39:50,410
Nope, accounting is the
career for you. Oh, hey,
954
00:39:50,432 --> 00:39:53,034
- I got you a going away present.
- An abacus.
955
00:39:53,068 --> 00:39:55,870
Yeah, the Orientals say it's
easier than a calculator,
956
00:39:55,904 --> 00:39:58,706
which is an obvious lie designed
to make us feel inferior.
957
00:39:58,740 --> 00:40:02,276
Oh, and here's five years
worth of receipts
958
00:40:02,311 --> 00:40:04,045

959
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:06,280

961
00:40:08,584 --> 00:40:10,885
And there's an awful lot
of bikini waxes in there
962
00:40:10,919 --> 00:40:12,220
you're gonna have to somehow
963
00:40:12,254 --> 00:40:14,722
