1
00:00:04,361 --> 00:00:06,796
Honey...
2
00:00:06,830 --> 00:00:10,066
you're never gonna believe
what I did today.
3
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:13,336
I decided to take
over the Glee Club.

5
00:00:24,281 --> 00:00:26,281
My name is Kurt Hummel.
6
00:00:26,283 --> 00:00:27,516
I'm a sophomore at McKinley.
7
00:00:27,551 --> 00:00:29,485
My first day at this school,
8
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:31,253
the principal got up in front
of the whole freshman class
9
00:00:31,288 --> 00:00:33,055
and told us that
the next four years
10
00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:34,857
were going to be the best years
of our lives.
11
00:00:34,891 --> 00:00:36,258
Out of the way, fag!
12
00:00:36,293 --> 00:00:37,526
What a joke.
13
00:00:37,561 --> 00:00:39,195
Sorry.
14
00:00:39,229 --> 00:00:41,530
Hope I didn't make you late
for remedial math.
15
00:00:41,565 --> 00:00:43,733
What was that?
16
00:00:43,767 --> 00:00:46,235
Nothing. I just...
I just said I was sorry.
17
00:00:52,042 --> 00:00:53,409
Nice.
18
00:00:53,443 --> 00:00:55,277
Hey, bro, don't be gay.
19
00:00:55,312 --> 00:00:59,482
Another day, another
cataclysmic humiliation.
20
00:01:01,485 --> 00:01:04,954
Everywhere I go,
I'm isolated and alone.
21
00:01:04,988 --> 00:01:07,308
I know my mom used to tell me
how good it made her feel
22
00:01:07,324 --> 00:01:08,891
that I was such a happy kid,
23
00:01:08,925 --> 00:01:10,726
but honestly,
I don't even remember
24
00:01:10,761 --> 00:01:13,095
what that would've
even felt like.
25
00:01:13,130 --> 00:01:14,864
I feel like I could die tomorrow
26
00:01:14,898 --> 00:01:16,866
and I don't think
anyone would really care.
27
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:20,336
I'm not sure
anyone would even notice.
28
00:01:24,975 --> 00:01:26,575
Can I help you?
29
00:01:26,610 --> 00:01:28,210
Oh! No. I'm-I'm sorry.
30
00:01:28,245 --> 00:01:29,445
I-I just made a wrong turn.
31
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:31,147
What's your name?
Kurt Hummel.
32
00:01:31,181 --> 00:01:33,849
Hi, Kurt. I'm Miss Pillsbury,
the guidance counselor.
33
00:01:36,153 --> 00:01:38,154
Are you new to the school?
I'm a sophomore.
34
00:01:38,188 --> 00:01:39,255
That's awkward.
35
00:01:39,289 --> 00:01:41,557
Well, if you ever need anything,
36
00:01:41,591 --> 00:01:42,892
my door is always open.
37
00:01:42,926 --> 00:01:44,393
One, two,
three, four, five.
38
00:01:44,428 --> 00:01:46,762
Because feelings don't
take vacations, do they?
39
00:01:46,797 --> 00:01:48,064
They work in 24-hour shifts.
40
00:01:48,098 --> 00:01:49,565
I mean, I don't.
41
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:51,000
I'm only here during
regular school hours.
42
00:01:51,034 --> 00:01:52,668
And I take vacation.
43
00:01:52,703 --> 00:01:54,270
I try not to eat into
my sick days...
44
00:01:54,304 --> 00:01:56,464
It was nice meeting you.
Yeah, it was nice meeting you.
45
00:01:56,473 --> 00:01:57,707
Mm-hmm.
46
00:02:15,359 --> 00:02:17,660
What is that on your hands
and your coveralls?
47
00:02:17,694 --> 00:02:20,096
What would you call that?
Is that oil? Is that grease?
48
00:02:20,130 --> 00:02:21,690
Down at the shop,
we just call it grime.
49
00:02:21,698 --> 00:02:23,966
Grime.
Look, I know why
50
00:02:24,001 --> 00:02:25,001
you asked me down here.
51
00:02:25,002 --> 00:02:26,969
Oh, you do? Oh. Oh, dear.
52
00:02:27,004 --> 00:02:28,204
Is Kurt acting
strangely at home?
53
00:02:28,238 --> 00:02:29,772
Yeah, since he was two.
54
00:02:29,806 --> 00:02:31,474
Look, I know he's a
little bit different,
55
00:02:31,508 --> 00:02:33,109
but I also think
it's a little early
56
00:02:33,143 --> 00:02:34,343
to be talking about it.
57
00:02:34,378 --> 00:02:35,618
I mean, kids,
58
00:02:35,646 --> 00:02:37,113
they grow out of
stuff all the time.
59
00:02:37,147 --> 00:02:38,781
When I was his age,
I was a Bengals fan.
60
00:02:38,815 --> 00:02:40,316
Now I'm a Browns fan,
61
00:02:40,350 --> 00:02:42,118
all the way.
No, sorry,
62
00:02:42,152 --> 00:02:44,153
I don't think we're talking
about the same thing.
63
00:02:44,187 --> 00:02:47,323
Um, I'm worried
that Kurt is, uh...
64
00:02:47,357 --> 00:02:48,724
depressed.
65
00:02:48,759 --> 00:02:50,126
Oh.
No, deeply.
66
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,694
And I'm concerned about him.
67
00:02:51,728 --> 00:02:55,665
Look, I-I walked in on him,
and he was reading this.
68
00:03:07,611 --> 00:03:08,844
Hey.
69
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:10,079
What's up?
70
00:03:10,113 --> 00:03:11,981
Nothing.
71
00:03:12,015 --> 00:03:13,649
Is it time for me
to start dinner?
72
00:03:13,684 --> 00:03:15,551
Uh, in a minute.
73
00:03:15,585 --> 00:03:17,353
I, uh...
74
00:03:17,387 --> 00:03:19,747
I got called into school by
your guidance counselor today.
75
00:03:22,292 --> 00:03:27,363
She told me...
some upsetting stuff.
76
00:03:27,397 --> 00:03:29,899
I'm fine, Dad.
77
00:03:29,933 --> 00:03:31,901
She's... she's just
overreacting.
78
00:03:31,935 --> 00:03:33,502
Look, Kurt, I don't want to talk
79
00:03:33,537 --> 00:03:35,738
about this any more
than you do. Okay?
80
00:03:35,772 --> 00:03:38,441
You do your thing, I do mine.
81
00:03:38,475 --> 00:03:43,045
But you're all alone down here,
most of the time.
82
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,014
You don't have any friends.
83
00:03:45,048 --> 00:03:46,248
You don't understand.
84
00:03:46,283 --> 00:03:47,683
School is very complicated
for me.
85
00:03:47,718 --> 00:03:50,453
I was a teenager;
I get the pressure.
86
00:03:50,487 --> 00:03:53,756
Making friends... that's why
I joined the football team.
87
00:03:53,790 --> 00:03:56,259
You want me to join
the football team?
88
00:03:56,293 --> 00:03:57,927
Look, I'm not asking here, Kurt.
89
00:03:57,961 --> 00:03:59,362
This is an order.
90
00:03:59,396 --> 00:04:02,198
By the end of this week,
I want you on a team,
91
00:04:02,232 --> 00:04:04,192
or I'm taking away
the sewing machine.
92
00:04:31,428 --> 00:04:33,162
May I sit here?
93
00:04:33,196 --> 00:04:34,597
Be careful with the posters.
94
00:04:34,631 --> 00:04:36,299
They take 20 minutes each
to make.
95
00:04:36,333 --> 00:04:37,600
Okay.
96
00:04:37,634 --> 00:04:39,302
I see you're in the Speech Club.
97
00:04:39,336 --> 00:04:41,070
Speech Club, Renaissance Club,
98
00:04:41,104 --> 00:04:43,239
the Muslim Students Club,
Black Student Union.
99
00:04:43,273 --> 00:04:45,353
It's important for me to be
immersed in all cultures.
100
00:04:45,375 --> 00:04:46,909
I'm an actress.
101
00:04:46,944 --> 00:04:49,111
Oh, I know. I've seen
your videos on MySpace.
102
00:04:49,146 --> 00:04:50,346
You're very talented.
103
00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:52,481
I'm Rachel Berry.
104
00:04:52,516 --> 00:04:54,317
Kurt Hummel.
105
00:04:54,351 --> 00:04:56,752
Well, perhaps I should
join the Speech Club.
106
00:04:56,787 --> 00:04:59,155
My-my dad's making me
join something.
107
00:04:59,189 --> 00:05:00,523
And to be honest with you,
I have also been
108
00:05:00,557 --> 00:05:01,958
toying around
with a career in acting.
109
00:05:01,992 --> 00:05:03,759
I'm not toying around
with anything.
110
00:05:03,794 --> 00:05:05,461
The minute I graduate, I'm
going directly to Broadway
111
00:05:05,495 --> 00:05:07,430
and I'm never looking back.
112
00:05:07,464 --> 00:05:08,998
Besides, you can't join
the Speech Club; it's full.
113
00:05:09,032 --> 00:05:12,168
- Oh.
- Can you carry a tune?
114
00:05:12,202 --> 00:05:13,202
- Yes.
- Are you sure?
115
00:05:13,237 --> 00:05:14,837
- Yes.
- Because I don't know
116
00:05:14,871 --> 00:05:16,439
if you've heard the good
news, but the Glee Club
117
00:05:16,473 --> 00:05:17,840
is starting up again. It was
really awful when that perv,
118
00:05:17,874 --> 00:05:19,208
Mr. Ryerson, was in charge,
119
00:05:19,243 --> 00:05:20,543
but Mr. Schuester
is taking over now.
120
00:05:20,577 --> 00:05:22,144
He's the really
cool Spanish teacher
121
00:05:22,179 --> 00:05:24,146
who looks like an old
Justin Timberlake.
122
00:05:24,181 --> 00:05:25,781
When he was in this school
and he was in the Glee Club,
123
00:05:25,816 --> 00:05:27,550
they won nationals.
Do you know how hard that is?
124
00:05:27,584 --> 00:05:29,352
I'm assuming that you're
a contralto or a mezzo-soprano.
125
00:05:29,386 --> 00:05:31,020
We'll explore your vocal range
tomorrow after school.
126
00:05:31,054 --> 00:05:32,321
I'll reserve the auditorium.

179
00:07:43,554 --> 00:07:45,254
That is definitely the song
that we need to sing
180
00:07:45,289 --> 00:07:46,489
when we audition together.
181
00:07:46,523 --> 00:07:48,257
Together?
I'm sorry, Kurt,
182
00:07:48,292 --> 00:07:49,926
it-it doesn't
work that way.
183
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,161
When you look at the sky
at night, what do you see?
184
00:07:52,196 --> 00:07:53,930
Um... stars?
185
00:07:53,964 --> 00:07:56,032
Exactly.
Some shine brighter than others,
186
00:07:56,066 --> 00:07:57,633
but they all shine on their own.
187
00:07:57,668 --> 00:07:59,268
I enjoyed singing with you today
188
00:07:59,303 --> 00:08:00,837
and I look forward
to doing it again,
189
00:08:00,871 --> 00:08:02,371
but when it comes to auditions,
190
00:08:02,406 --> 00:08:04,474
it's every man for himself
on this stage.
191
00:08:04,508 --> 00:08:05,875
Eat or be eaten.
192
00:08:08,178 --> 00:08:10,913
This is show choir.
193
00:08:17,855 --> 00:08:19,856
Oh! Um, hi.
194
00:08:19,890 --> 00:08:22,124
- Uh, Miss Jones?
- That's me.
195
00:08:22,159 --> 00:08:24,293
I-I'm Kurt Hummel.
196
00:08:24,328 --> 00:08:25,661
Mm-hmm. Kurt Hummel.
197
00:08:25,696 --> 00:08:27,029
And what do you want?
198
00:08:27,064 --> 00:08:28,498
We're walking, we're talking.
199
00:08:28,532 --> 00:08:29,999
Well, I heard that you
were a-a total star
200
00:08:30,033 --> 00:08:31,467
in your church choir
and that you cracked
201
00:08:31,502 --> 00:08:33,035
a stained glass window
when you hit a high note
202
00:08:33,070 --> 00:08:34,904
singing ♪ Jesus. ♪
203
00:08:34,938 --> 00:08:37,140
Well, that's how you get
the big man upstairs' attention.
204
00:08:37,174 --> 00:08:39,654
Well, I want to be
just like you.
205
00:08:41,779 --> 00:08:44,881
Kurt, you are...
you're adorable.
206
00:08:44,915 --> 00:08:46,716
But I just don't think
that this pale, sexy,
207
00:08:46,750 --> 00:08:49,218
Keebler Elf look really fits in
with my church choir.
208
00:08:49,253 --> 00:08:50,486
I mean, no offense.
209
00:08:50,521 --> 00:08:51,721
Oh, no, no.
None taken.
210
00:08:51,755 --> 00:08:52,995
No, no, not a church.
211
00:08:53,023 --> 00:08:54,557
Uh, here, in the new Glee Club.
212
00:08:54,591 --> 00:08:56,259
Haven't you heard?
213
00:08:56,293 --> 00:08:58,828
Why wait for Sundays to be
Aretha Franklin and Beyoncé
214
00:08:58,862 --> 00:09:00,496
and Donna Summer
when you can do it
215
00:09:00,531 --> 00:09:02,698
every day right here at
William McKinley High School?
216
00:09:02,733 --> 00:09:04,233
Miss Jones is listening.
217
00:09:04,268 --> 00:09:05,701
Well, I-I want to audition,
218
00:09:05,736 --> 00:09:07,203
but I'm a-a nobody, you know?
219
00:09:07,237 --> 00:09:09,237
You know, I don't know
what song to sing,
220
00:09:09,239 --> 00:09:10,907
I don't know what to do
with my hands when I'm singing,
221
00:09:10,941 --> 00:09:12,842
I don't know how to
move all cool, like...
222
00:09:12,876 --> 00:09:15,945
like you do, because...
because you're you,
223
00:09:15,979 --> 00:09:18,181
and, well, I'm-I'm...
224
00:09:18,215 --> 00:09:19,849
I'm this.
225
00:09:19,883 --> 00:09:22,585
But inside, I'm-I'm more.
226
00:09:22,619 --> 00:09:24,520
Okay.
227
00:09:24,555 --> 00:09:25,888
I will help.
228
00:09:25,923 --> 00:09:27,256
First tip:
229
00:09:27,291 --> 00:09:29,358
you have an incredibly loud
sense of fashion...
230
00:09:29,393 --> 00:09:30,893
Which, you know, respect.
231
00:09:30,928 --> 00:09:32,728
But I see the way
that you slink around
232
00:09:32,763 --> 00:09:34,363
at this school.
Mm-hmm.
233
00:09:34,398 --> 00:09:36,299
It's time for your attitude
to match your outfits.
234
00:09:36,333 --> 00:09:38,301
I guess I just feel safer
235
00:09:38,335 --> 00:09:40,036
if I let all the clothes
do the talking.
236
00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:41,270
In a way, it lets me
feel invisible.
237
00:09:41,305 --> 00:09:42,738
Not anymore.
238
00:09:42,773 --> 00:09:44,707
I think I might know
the perfect song for you.
239
00:09:44,741 --> 00:09:46,542
Hello, I'm Kurt Hummel
240
00:09:46,577 --> 00:09:47,944
and I'll be singing
"Mr. Cellophane."
241
00:09:47,978 --> 00:09:49,578
♪ Cellophane ♪
242
00:09:49,580 --> 00:09:51,247
♪ Mr. Cellophane ♪
243
00:09:51,281 --> 00:09:53,983
♪ Should've been my name ♪
244
00:09:54,017 --> 00:09:55,918
♪ Mr. Cellophane ♪
245
00:09:55,953 --> 00:09:58,721
♪ 'Cause you can look
right through me ♪
246
00:09:58,755 --> 00:10:00,323
♪ Walk right by me ♪
247
00:10:00,357 --> 00:10:03,659
♪ And never know I'm there ♪
248
00:10:03,694 --> 00:10:05,495
♪ Never ♪
249
00:10:05,529 --> 00:10:06,562
♪ Even ♪
250
00:10:06,597 --> 00:10:14,570
♪ Know... ♪
251
00:10:14,605 --> 00:10:16,539
♪ I'm there. ♪
252
00:10:19,276 --> 00:10:21,677
Thank you. That was...
that was really nice.
253
00:10:28,786 --> 00:10:30,353
Hey, Dad!
254
00:10:30,387 --> 00:10:32,088
- I did it.
- Huh?
255
00:10:32,122 --> 00:10:34,757
- I joined a team.
- Hey, hey! All right!
256
00:10:34,792 --> 00:10:36,626
There we go, Kurt!
Which one?
257
00:10:36,660 --> 00:10:38,928
- The Glee Club.
- What's Glee Club?
258
00:10:38,962 --> 00:10:41,097
It's amazing. We-we
sing and we dance
259
00:10:41,131 --> 00:10:44,033
and it's full of inducing
community-based activities.
260
00:10:44,067 --> 00:10:46,202
Look, uh, Kurt...
261
00:10:46,236 --> 00:10:48,204
it's not like I got
a problem with it.
262
00:10:48,238 --> 00:10:52,008
I'm all for singing and dancing,
but the point of this
263
00:10:52,042 --> 00:10:55,211
was for you to feel
what it's like to bond
264
00:10:55,245 --> 00:10:57,380
over a shared goal.
265
00:10:57,414 --> 00:10:59,215
Well, Glee Club
is-is kind of like that.
266
00:10:59,249 --> 00:11:00,883
At the end of the term,
we-we perform
267
00:11:00,918 --> 00:11:02,718
at this big competition
in front of an audience.
268
00:11:02,753 --> 00:11:04,387
Against other schools, you know?
269
00:11:04,421 --> 00:11:06,055
So it really is
like a sports team?
270
00:11:06,090 --> 00:11:07,557
Yeah, yeah, uh, kind of.
271
00:11:07,591 --> 00:11:09,325
Except with choreography
and Beyoncé.
272
00:11:09,359 --> 00:11:11,160
Who's Beyoncé? She one of
the girls on the team?
273
00:11:11,195 --> 00:11:14,197
No, Dad, she's, like, the
biggest pop star in the world.
274
00:11:14,231 --> 00:11:15,798
Oh.
I mean, we-we could use
275
00:11:15,833 --> 00:11:17,734
a-a strong male lead,
276
00:11:17,768 --> 00:11:22,205
but... I really think it's-it's
gonna be something special.
277
00:11:22,239 --> 00:11:24,240
Okay, good.
278
00:11:24,274 --> 00:11:25,908
This is good.
279
00:11:25,943 --> 00:11:27,477
I still think it'd do you good
280
00:11:27,511 --> 00:11:30,179
to be part of
a real sports team, but...
281
00:11:30,214 --> 00:11:31,981
well, you seem happy.
282
00:11:32,015 --> 00:11:37,220
Honestly, Dad, I don't
think I've ever been this
283
00:11:37,254 --> 00:11:39,522
genuinely excited
to go to school.
284
00:11:39,556 --> 00:11:41,624
Thanks for
pushing me to do this.
285
00:11:47,431 --> 00:11:49,911
Thanks for showing up
for yourself.
286
00:11:50,701 --> 00:11:52,001
Hey, Burt!
287
00:11:52,035 --> 00:11:53,936
Yeah?
288
00:11:56,073 --> 00:11:57,507
What?
289
00:11:57,541 --> 00:11:59,275
I'm gay, Dad.
290
00:11:59,309 --> 00:12:02,011
Please don't stop loving me,
but I'm gay.
291
00:12:02,046 --> 00:12:03,746
We good?
292
00:12:03,781 --> 00:12:05,281
I got to go deal with this.
293
00:12:05,315 --> 00:12:07,583
Yeah... yeah, yeah, we're good.
294
00:12:07,618 --> 00:12:09,285
Okay.
295
00:12:12,322 --> 00:12:13,723
Who needs me?
296
00:12:20,047 --> 00:12:22,015
My
name is Mercedes Jones,
297
00:12:22,049 --> 00:12:24,050
and I don't have a lot
of friends at this school.
298
00:12:24,085 --> 00:12:25,565
I mean, it's not like
I get picked on,
299
00:12:25,586 --> 00:12:27,554
and folks are nice, I guess,
300
00:12:27,588 --> 00:12:29,856
but there sure are a lot of
white folks here at McKinley.
301
00:12:29,891 --> 00:12:31,191
I mean, there is
that one black kid,
302
00:12:31,225 --> 00:12:32,392
but he's real boring.
303
00:12:32,426 --> 00:12:33,660
- Hey, Mercedes.
- Yeah. Hi.
304
00:12:33,694 --> 00:12:35,662
I'm a big star at my church,
305
00:12:35,696 --> 00:12:37,197
where everybody knows
I got a big-ass voice,
306
00:12:37,231 --> 00:12:39,065
but here, I'm just a nobody.
307
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:40,700
But that's all gonna change
real soon
308
00:12:40,735 --> 00:12:42,235
because I heard
they're jump-starting
309
00:12:42,270 --> 00:12:43,837
the singing club at McKinley,
310
00:12:43,871 --> 00:12:47,040
and Mercedes Jones has
decided to sign up.
311
00:12:49,644 --> 00:12:50,644
Excuse me, Mercedes Jones?
312
00:12:50,645 --> 00:12:52,112
Hi, I'm Rachel Berry.
313
00:12:52,146 --> 00:12:54,080
I saw that you signed up
for the Glee Club. Me, too.
314
00:12:54,115 --> 00:12:55,348
I can tell by
your sloppy signature
315
00:12:55,383 --> 00:12:56,783
that you have
a very strong personality,
316
00:12:56,817 --> 00:12:58,585
and I can tell by the way
that you hold your torso
317
00:12:58,619 --> 00:12:59,886
that you have
a very strong diaphragm,
318
00:12:59,921 --> 00:13:01,354
which means that
you're very talented.
319
00:13:01,389 --> 00:13:02,789
Which is good, because
I'm very talented, too.
320
00:13:02,824 --> 00:13:04,224
Well, it's nice to
meet you, Rachel.
321
00:13:04,225 --> 00:13:05,759
Guess I'll be seeing
you in Glee Club.
322
00:13:05,793 --> 00:13:07,594
we're both gonna be competing
323
00:13:07,628 --> 00:13:09,796
for the female lead, which I
want us to see as a good thing.
324
00:13:09,831 --> 00:13:10,897
My dads always say: the
person who's better than you,
325
00:13:10,932 --> 00:13:12,532
or maybe, in this case,
326
00:13:12,567 --> 00:13:13,900
maybe the person who's
almost as good as you
327
00:13:13,935 --> 00:13:15,469
should be considered
your best friend.
328
00:13:15,503 --> 00:13:17,237
Okay, let me just stop you
right there, because I can see
329
00:13:17,271 --> 00:13:18,638
what it is you're trying to do.
You're trying to get all
330
00:13:18,673 --> 00:13:20,474
in my head and make me nervous
like Ike Turner
331
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:22,576
so you can swoop down
and get all the attention.
332
00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:24,244
But let me tell you something.
333
00:13:24,278 --> 00:13:25,645
I've been dealing with
this kind of nonsense
334
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,280
for the past three years
in my church choir,
335
00:13:27,315 --> 00:13:30,250
and I overcame it
and I'm over it.
336
00:13:30,284 --> 00:13:31,818
You go to one of those
singing black churches.
337
00:13:31,853 --> 00:13:33,220
That's amazing.
338
00:13:33,254 --> 00:13:35,822
One of my dads is black.
339
00:13:35,857 --> 00:13:37,757
See? Another thing
that we have in common.
340
00:13:37,792 --> 00:13:39,926
What?
A black dad.
341
00:13:39,961 --> 00:13:42,496
Okay, girl, I got
to go to gym class.
342
00:13:45,299 --> 00:13:47,934
I'd really love to
hear you sing one time.
343
00:13:47,969 --> 00:13:50,303
Maybe I could
come to your church.
344
00:13:50,338 --> 00:13:52,239
Are you serious?
345
00:13:52,273 --> 00:13:54,241
You want to come to my church?

387
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:15,215
- Okay, bye-bye.
- Mercedes.
388
00:16:15,249 --> 00:16:17,551
I had no idea.
I saw something so special today
389
00:16:17,585 --> 00:16:19,619
that I would not have seen
had you not invited me.
390
00:16:19,654 --> 00:16:21,734
Well, I'm pretty sure
that you invited you,
391
00:16:21,756 --> 00:16:23,676
but I'm glad
that you felt something.
392
00:16:23,691 --> 00:16:25,792
I saw Mercedes Jones,
future R&B star.
393
00:16:25,827 --> 00:16:27,327
Your audience is gonna love you.
394
00:16:27,361 --> 00:16:29,096
Oh, so I hear
what you're saying:
395
00:16:29,130 --> 00:16:30,731
my audience isn't your audience.
I should've known.
396
00:16:30,765 --> 00:16:32,599
Should've known what?
397
00:16:32,633 --> 00:16:34,801
Rachel Berry,
you are officially on notice.
398
00:16:34,836 --> 00:16:38,605
Wherever you think your voice
can go, mine will be there, too.
399
00:16:42,677 --> 00:16:44,144
My name is Tina Cohen-Chang,
400
00:16:44,178 --> 00:16:46,012
and you don't care.
401
00:16:46,047 --> 00:16:49,149
I'm wildly unpopular,
but I love being unpopular.
402
00:16:49,183 --> 00:16:52,986
I'm trying to be unpopular,
because I am goth.
403
00:16:53,020 --> 00:16:56,923
Goths have no time for cliché
bougie high school cliques.
404
00:16:56,958 --> 00:16:58,759
We are the anti-clique.
405
00:16:58,793 --> 00:17:00,127
What's up,
Wu-Tang witch?
406
00:17:00,161 --> 00:17:02,295
You ride a broomstick
or a chop-a-stick?
407
00:17:02,330 --> 00:17:03,864
Eat m-m...
408
00:17:03,898 --> 00:17:05,832
D-Don't stutter.
It's not n-nice.
409
00:17:05,867 --> 00:17:08,107
The joke's on you,
Puckerman... my stutter is fake.
410
00:17:08,136 --> 00:17:09,870
Not even Meryl Streep herself
411
00:17:09,904 --> 00:17:12,039
could fake a stutter
for three and a half years.
412
00:17:12,073 --> 00:17:14,941
I could be a big, big star
if I weren't so shy.
413
00:17:14,976 --> 00:17:16,810
I need to work on that.
And I also need to
414
00:17:16,844 --> 00:17:18,478
stop talking to myself.
415
00:17:18,513 --> 00:17:20,947
Oh, shut up, Tina,
everybody talks to themselves.
416
00:17:20,982 --> 00:17:22,616
Begone, jocks.
417
00:17:22,650 --> 00:17:24,851
Begone, cheerleaders.
418
00:17:24,886 --> 00:17:27,054
You have no power here.
419
00:17:27,088 --> 00:17:28,822
True power comes from
nonconformity.
420
00:17:28,856 --> 00:17:30,690
That's why I embrace
the avant-garde
421
00:17:30,725 --> 00:17:33,527
and the unwanted, including
a boy in a wheelchair.
422
00:17:33,561 --> 00:17:34,995
What's shakin', bacon?
423
00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:36,296
N-N-Nothing.
424
00:17:36,330 --> 00:17:38,065
My name is Artie Abrams,
425
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:39,866
and I'm in love
with Tina Cohen-Chang.
426
00:17:39,901 --> 00:17:41,401
She's not only sexy as hell,
427
00:17:41,436 --> 00:17:43,236
she also
treats me like a real person.
428
00:17:43,271 --> 00:17:45,138
Almost everyone else
around here looks at me
429
00:17:45,173 --> 00:17:47,174
like I have terminal cancer
and can somehow spread it
430
00:17:47,208 --> 00:17:50,010
through my wheelchair, but
Tina doesn't look at the chair.
431
00:17:50,044 --> 00:17:52,045
She looks at me.
She jokes with me,
432
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,980
argues with me,
and I know it sounds lame,
433
00:17:54,015 --> 00:17:56,650
but sometimes she even
touches my shoulder or my arm.
434
00:17:56,684 --> 00:17:58,485
It's nice, because
that never happens to me.
435
00:17:58,519 --> 00:17:59,753
She's my best friend.
436
00:17:59,787 --> 00:18:00,921
I love you.
437
00:18:00,955 --> 00:18:02,389
W-W-What?
438
00:18:02,423 --> 00:18:04,424
Nothing.
Uh, let's go eat, woman.
439
00:18:17,872 --> 00:18:19,239
I can't believe you guys did it.
440
00:18:19,273 --> 00:18:20,507
Of course we did it, Autobot,
441
00:18:20,541 --> 00:18:21,575
because you dared us to
and also because
442
00:18:21,609 --> 00:18:22,676
we don't give a what what.
443
00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:23,844
Yeah, and besides,
444
00:18:23,878 --> 00:18:25,078
that Rachel girl had it coming
445
00:18:25,113 --> 00:18:27,514
for making fun of my true form.
446
00:18:27,548 --> 00:18:30,617
Mr. Clarkson, his werewolf
heritage is not a real ethnicity
447
00:18:30,651 --> 00:18:32,285
and I'm allergic
to whatever roadkill he used
448
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,087
to make his tail out of.
449
00:18:34,122 --> 00:18:36,289
Well, she shouldn't have
ditched her otherkin identity.
450
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:37,591
Quid pro quo, Tina Marie.
451
00:18:37,625 --> 00:18:39,292
W-What does that even m-mean?
452
00:18:39,327 --> 00:18:42,396
Well, Th-that means that
it's your turn to accept a dare,
453
00:18:42,430 --> 00:18:44,564
and I can think of quite a few.
454
00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:46,700
But I think
the most fun of all would be
455
00:18:46,734 --> 00:18:48,735
I dare you and Wheels
456
00:18:48,770 --> 00:18:50,437
to sign up
for the new Glee Club.
457
00:18:50,471 --> 00:18:51,538
Fine. Whatever.
458
00:18:51,572 --> 00:18:52,639
Who even cares?
459
00:18:52,674 --> 00:18:54,074

Thank you.
505
00:21:20,097 --> 00:21:22,566
- Ginuwine is a badass.
- Artie, that was
506
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,200
r-really, really good.
507
00:21:24,235 --> 00:21:25,702

- Seriously.
509
00:21:27,471 --> 00:21:29,471
That's the best voice
I have ever heard.
510
00:21:39,150 --> 00:21:40,250
Brad.
511
00:21:40,284 --> 00:21:41,952
Welcome, everybody!
512
00:21:41,986 --> 00:21:44,387
Can I just say
what an awesome job
513
00:21:44,422 --> 00:21:47,891
you all did in your auditions.
I was... I was blown away.
514
00:21:47,925 --> 00:21:49,759
Okay, so...
515
00:21:49,794 --> 00:21:52,629
grab a pair of gloves
and some sheet music.
516
00:21:52,663 --> 00:21:55,098
"S-S-S..." "Sit Down,
You're Rockin' the Boat"
517
00:21:55,132 --> 00:21:57,467
by the legendary Frank Loesser.
518
00:21:57,501 --> 00:21:58,869
We did this at
McKinley's Christmas concert
519
00:21:58,903 --> 00:22:00,904
my sophomore year,
and we got a standing O.
520
00:22:00,938 --> 00:22:03,440
Artie, why don't
you take the lead.
521
00:22:03,474 --> 00:22:04,808
- Yes!
- Mr. Schuester.
522
00:22:04,842 --> 00:22:06,276
With all due respect,
523
00:22:06,310 --> 00:22:07,711
I'm the only member here who was
524
00:22:07,745 --> 00:22:09,246
in Mr. Ryerson's
original Glee Club;
525
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,147
therefore, I should be
getting the first solo.
526
00:22:11,182 --> 00:22:13,049
Say what?
527
00:22:13,084 --> 00:22:15,485
It's the first song; it sets
the precedent for everything.
528
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,787
Rachel, Artie's gonna
sing the first solo, period.
529
00:22:17,822 --> 00:22:19,502
You and everyone else
are gonna have plenty
530
00:22:19,523 --> 00:22:22,092
of opportunities for a
solo; we'll all take turns.
531
00:22:22,126 --> 00:22:24,127
In fact, I was thinking
for sectionals, we would do
532
00:22:24,161 --> 00:22:26,930
a medley from Grease.
Who wants the Sandy part?
533
00:22:26,964 --> 00:22:28,832
Is this even a
discussion right now?!
534
00:22:28,866 --> 00:22:30,834
I'm the only person in this room
who can play Sandy!
535
00:22:30,868 --> 00:22:33,069
- Why? Because you're white?
- Okay, I wouldn't dream
536
00:22:33,104 --> 00:22:36,106
of being Mrs. Saigon
or black Dorothy from the Wiz,
537
00:22:36,140 --> 00:22:38,620
but if we want to be taken
seriously as a glee club,
538
00:22:38,643 --> 00:22:40,176
then it can't be about color
or disability or whatever.
539
00:22:40,211 --> 00:22:42,245
It has to be about who
has the best voice.
540
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,281
Exactly. That would be me.
541
00:22:47,351 --> 00:22:48,418
Let's warm up.
542
00:22:48,452 --> 00:22:49,692
Brad.
543
00:23:04,502 --> 00:23:05,969
I thought you were
finishing up out here?
544
00:23:06,003 --> 00:23:08,004
I-I was just taking
a little break.
545
00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:09,399
You just left
the vacuum cleaner on
546
00:23:09,407 --> 00:23:10,807
so that I would think
you were cleaning
547
00:23:10,842 --> 00:23:12,442
while you were goofing off
with the sheet music.
548
00:23:12,476 --> 00:23:15,278
There is a division
of labor in this house, Will.
549
00:23:15,313 --> 00:23:16,813
You do the cooking and cleaning,
550
00:23:16,848 --> 00:23:18,815
and I will carry our children
when we have them.
551
00:23:18,850 --> 00:23:20,517
Which might not be anytime soon
552
00:23:20,551 --> 00:23:22,485
because I'm sure all this
extra free work you're doing
553
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,020
for the Glee Club
is tiring you out
554
00:23:24,055 --> 00:23:25,789
and making your sperm stressed.
555
00:23:25,823 --> 00:23:27,190
You're right.
556
00:23:27,225 --> 00:23:29,192
I am stressed.
557
00:23:29,227 --> 00:23:32,028
And I'm sure my sperm's stressed, too.
Mm-hmm.
558
00:23:32,063 --> 00:23:34,130
The Glee Club is one day old,
and there's already in-fighting.
559
00:23:34,165 --> 00:23:36,733
Which is
kind of my fault,
560
00:23:36,767 --> 00:23:38,368
because I asked
who wanted the first solo,
561
00:23:38,402 --> 00:23:40,337
and Rachel and Mercedes
both raised their hands,
562
00:23:40,371 --> 00:23:41,838
and I don't want to
disappoint either of them.
563
00:23:41,873 --> 00:23:43,874
Just give it to whichever one
is the most pathetic.
564
00:23:43,908 --> 00:23:46,309
It's much harder to be jealous
of someone when you think
565
00:23:46,344 --> 00:23:47,911
you're better than they are.
566
00:23:47,945 --> 00:23:49,813
Even if they get something
that you want.
567
00:23:49,847 --> 00:23:51,414
I love it when you're all smart.
568
00:23:51,449 --> 00:23:53,016
Oh.
569
00:23:55,953 --> 00:23:58,421
I'm only gonna
ask you this once,
570
00:23:58,456 --> 00:24:01,725
and then I promise I will never
bring up the Glee Club again.
571
00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:04,060
Okay.
572
00:24:04,095 --> 00:24:06,229
Is it worth it?
573
00:24:06,264 --> 00:24:07,864
I mean, you know
I'm a little bit psychic.
574
00:24:07,899 --> 00:24:09,566
I have a bad feeling about this.
575
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,369
How could anything bad
come out of a glee club?
576
00:24:12,403 --> 00:24:14,571
Because look how distracted
you are by it already.
577
00:24:14,605 --> 00:24:17,374
What if you end up spending
so much time with the glee kids
578
00:24:17,408 --> 00:24:19,376
that you start neglecting
our time together?
579
00:24:19,410 --> 00:24:21,211
I don't want to become
one of those ignored wives
580
00:24:21,245 --> 00:24:22,279
who has an affair.
581
00:24:22,313 --> 00:24:24,915
You are the love of my life.
582
00:24:24,949 --> 00:24:28,385
And nothing is ever gonna
take you away from me.
583
00:24:32,557 --> 00:24:34,157
Good.
584
00:24:35,455 --> 00:24:37,589
Mr. Schuester, how's the search for
our male lead going?
585
00:24:37,623 --> 00:24:40,392
I took the initiative of making
a list of potential candidates
586
00:24:40,426 --> 00:24:41,893
- based on their yearbook photos.
- Um, thanks, Rachel.
587
00:24:41,928 --> 00:24:43,762
But I was actually headed
to the locker room
588
00:24:43,796 --> 00:24:46,098
- to see if, uh, any of the football
players signed up. - Great.
589
00:24:46,132 --> 00:24:47,532
I also made a list
of all the reasons
590
00:24:47,567 --> 00:24:49,034
why I should be getting
the first solo.
591
00:24:49,068 --> 00:24:50,402
I think it would make
an important statement
592
00:24:50,436 --> 00:24:51,937
to the rest of the team
if you told them
593
00:24:51,971 --> 00:24:54,451
right at the beginning
that I'm the star.
594
00:24:55,241 --> 00:24:57,709
Oh, my God.
595
00:24:57,744 --> 00:24:59,077
A-Are you okay?
596
00:25:01,247 --> 00:25:03,215
I told you.
597
00:25:03,249 --> 00:25:05,417
Everyone hates me.
598
00:25:07,253 --> 00:25:08,820
Everybody up!
599
00:25:08,855 --> 00:25:10,622
We're moving to the auditorium.
600
00:25:10,657 --> 00:25:11,990
Alcoholics Anonymous
has the auditorium.
601
00:25:12,025 --> 00:25:13,291
Not anymore.
602
00:25:13,326 --> 00:25:15,060
Principal Figgins
believes in us so much,
603
00:25:15,094 --> 00:25:16,294
he's giving it to us.
604
00:25:16,329 --> 00:25:18,096
For a while.
605
00:25:18,131 --> 00:25:20,966
Let's go. And grab a copy of
"You're the One That I Want."
606
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,467
Hold up, who gets
to sing the Sandy part?
607
00:25:22,502 --> 00:25:24,036
Rachel.
608
00:25:25,104 --> 00:25:26,672
Are you serious?
609
00:25:26,706 --> 00:25:29,107
I can blow the roof
off that auditorium.
610
00:25:29,142 --> 00:25:30,742
Her little bitty Jewish voice
won't make it
611
00:25:30,777 --> 00:25:32,511
- past the third row.
- Racist!
612
00:25:32,545 --> 00:25:34,946
And untrue. I can belt just
as good as you, better even.
613
00:25:34,981 --> 00:25:36,948
Oh, really?
Well, let's prove it.
614
00:25:36,983 --> 00:25:39,484
Let's have a sing-off
right here, right now.
615
00:25:39,519 --> 00:25:41,253
We're not having a sing-off!
616
00:25:41,287 --> 00:25:43,255
Although that's not a bad idea
for a future exercise.
617
00:25:43,289 --> 00:25:45,357
Rachel has this solo.
618
00:25:45,391 --> 00:25:46,658
Like I said,
you'll all take turns.
619
00:25:46,693 --> 00:25:48,627
Except the white girl
goes first.
620
00:25:48,661 --> 00:25:50,696
The white girl
always goes first.
621
00:25:58,204 --> 00:26:00,205
Hey.
622
00:26:03,343 --> 00:26:05,344
I didn't get the solo.
623
00:26:07,347 --> 00:26:11,717
I lost it to that demented
little Beanie Baby.
624
00:26:11,751 --> 00:26:15,187
Mr. Schuester is never
gonna give me a solo.
625
00:26:15,221 --> 00:26:17,389
It's a waste of time;
I'm gonna quit.
626
00:26:17,423 --> 00:26:20,726
Nobody in there is gonna see me
the way that I see myself.
627
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,728
Mercedes.
628
00:26:22,762 --> 00:26:24,029
You are so young.
629
00:26:24,063 --> 00:26:26,331
Glee Club just started.
630
00:26:26,333 --> 00:26:28,467
Who knows
what your future holds?
631
00:26:28,501 --> 00:26:30,969
Mercedes,
632
00:26:31,004 --> 00:26:34,206
you are a star.
633
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,208
But part of the responsibility
634
00:26:36,242 --> 00:26:38,176
that goes along
with being a star
635
00:26:38,211 --> 00:26:41,246
is learning to share
the spotlight.
636
00:26:41,281 --> 00:26:45,150
Maybe she's gonna get the solos
637
00:26:45,184 --> 00:26:47,486
because she needs it more
than you do right now.
638
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,189
Truth is, Mercedes, Rachel
will make you better.
639
00:26:51,224 --> 00:26:53,425
Her drive and ambition
640
00:26:53,459 --> 00:26:56,261
will help you raise
your expectations of yourself,
641
00:26:56,296 --> 00:26:58,730
and you can use that
to become great.
642
00:26:58,765 --> 00:27:00,732
And I have a feeling
643
00:27:00,767 --> 00:27:02,868
you two are gonna
become great friends.
644
00:27:05,972 --> 00:27:08,440
Stars have a way
of finding each other.
645
00:27:08,474 --> 00:27:10,309
Okay, come here.
646
00:27:14,314 --> 00:27:15,547
There you go, Sue.
647
00:27:15,581 --> 00:27:16,949
Some principals would say
648
00:27:16,983 --> 00:27:20,052
that importing a rare silk
trampoline mat
649
00:27:20,086 --> 00:27:23,622
from China is an extravagance,
but not this principal.
650
00:27:23,656 --> 00:27:26,858
The Cheerios! Are McKinley
High's number one priority.
651
00:27:26,893 --> 00:27:29,094
Oh, thank you so much,
Principal Figgins.
652
00:27:29,128 --> 00:27:30,762
I could have never
led my Cheerios!
653
00:27:30,797 --> 00:27:34,399
To a record five consecutive
national championships
654
00:27:34,434 --> 00:27:36,301
without you.
655
00:27:36,336 --> 00:27:38,303
Actually, I could have done it
very easily without you.
656
00:27:38,338 --> 00:27:40,619
Oh, uh, and that reminds me.
I have a question for you.
657
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,040
Hmm?
658
00:27:42,075 --> 00:27:43,909
What exactly is going on
with Will Schuester
659
00:27:43,943 --> 00:27:45,377
taking over the show choir?
660
00:27:45,411 --> 00:27:47,212
The Glee Club?
661
00:27:47,246 --> 00:27:49,915
Why, Sue, that's nothing
but a trifling.
662
00:27:49,949 --> 00:27:51,917
Well, I just want to be clear
that the star performers
663
00:27:51,951 --> 00:27:53,919
at this high school
are my Cheerios!,
664
00:27:53,953 --> 00:27:55,821
and I should hope
it remains that way.
665
00:27:55,855 --> 00:27:57,456
Oh, Sue, don't worry.
666
00:27:57,490 --> 00:28:00,926
You are my star.
You are on Fox Sports Net.
667
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,894
- Yes. - And besides, show
choir won't last.
668
00:28:02,929 --> 00:28:06,598
Will only has five students,
one of them a cripple.
669
00:28:06,633 --> 00:28:08,767
And children these days
aren't interested
670
00:28:08,801 --> 00:28:11,136
in singing to each other.
671
00:28:11,170 --> 00:28:14,239
They're too busy with
their Friendster and Myspace
672
00:28:14,274 --> 00:28:15,741
and Blockbuster Video.
673
00:28:15,775 --> 00:28:17,676
These are things
that are here to stay.
674
00:28:17,710 --> 00:28:19,411
Well, I don't know.
675
00:28:19,445 --> 00:28:23,248
I have a bad feeling
about this Glee Club.
676
00:28:31,624 --> 00:28:33,125
Come on, go!
677
00:28:33,159 --> 00:28:34,593
Okay, come on.
678
00:28:34,627 --> 00:28:36,495
Traveling.
679
00:28:36,529 --> 00:28:38,931
Hey!
680
00:28:38,965 --> 00:28:40,933
Hey, you know, because
we're best friends,
681
00:28:40,967 --> 00:28:43,001
I want to ask you something frankly.
Sure.
682
00:28:43,036 --> 00:28:44,436
Wait, I-I'm your
best friend?
683
00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:46,638
I-I know nothing about you.
We hardly even talk.
684
00:28:46,673 --> 00:28:48,440
We just play basketball
once a week.
685
00:28:48,474 --> 00:28:50,208
Yeah, like I said, best friends.
686
00:28:51,477 --> 00:28:53,278
What are your...
Thank you.
687
00:28:53,313 --> 00:28:55,280
What are your intentions
with this Glee Club?
688
00:28:55,315 --> 00:28:56,481
Intentions?
I don't know.
689
00:28:56,516 --> 00:28:58,150
I guess we'll have to find out.
690
00:28:58,184 --> 00:28:59,551
I don't know, I just...
691
00:28:59,586 --> 00:29:01,553
I look around this school,
I see all these kids
692
00:29:01,588 --> 00:29:02,988
who don't have the arts
in their lives,
693
00:29:03,022 --> 00:29:04,990
and I want them
to have what I had...
694
00:29:05,024 --> 00:29:07,392
A place where they can go
to experience the joy of music.
695
00:29:07,427 --> 00:29:09,161
Yeah, well, they already
have that, William.
696
00:29:09,195 --> 00:29:11,396
It's called the iPod.
I don't know, being a part
697
00:29:11,431 --> 00:29:13,465
of Glee Club was the best thing
that ever happened to me.
698
00:29:13,499 --> 00:29:15,400
Now you're a high school
Spanish teacher.
699
00:29:16,703 --> 00:29:18,470
Will, the students
at this school
700
00:29:18,504 --> 00:29:19,905
aren't going to
become performers.
701
00:29:19,939 --> 00:29:21,240
They're not gonna become
professional singers
702
00:29:21,274 --> 00:29:22,708
or dancers or actors.
703
00:29:22,742 --> 00:29:24,643
They'll be fry cooks
and auto mechanics.
704
00:29:24,677 --> 00:29:27,479
And it's really unfair of you
to suggest anything otherwise.
705
00:29:27,513 --> 00:29:31,250
Fostering unrealistic dreams
in these kids will accomplish
706
00:29:31,284 --> 00:29:33,018
absolutely nothing
but to make their lives
707
00:29:33,052 --> 00:29:36,321
that much more dark
and depressing.
708
00:29:36,356 --> 00:29:39,191
I'm sorry, Sue.
I just disagree.
709
00:29:39,225 --> 00:29:41,159
I mean, the arts are important.
710
00:29:41,194 --> 00:29:43,495
Certainly more important
than cheerleading.
711
00:29:43,530 --> 00:29:44,897
How dare you.
712
00:29:44,931 --> 00:29:46,565
And I think,
with a little hard work,
713
00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:48,700
this Glee Club could
really accomplish something.
714
00:29:48,735 --> 00:29:50,736
I got Finn Hudson to sign up,
715
00:29:50,770 --> 00:29:53,005
and he's the captain
of the football team, so...
716
00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:54,706
who knows
what our future could hold?
717
00:29:54,741 --> 00:29:57,376
I'm gonna give you an
ultimatum, William.
718
00:29:57,410 --> 00:29:58,911
You either drop this Glee Club,
719
00:29:58,945 --> 00:30:01,213
or you and I will cease
to be friends.
720
00:30:01,247 --> 00:30:02,807
What?
721
00:30:04,317 --> 00:30:05,717
Are you serious?
722
00:30:05,752 --> 00:30:07,185
You do not want to make
723
00:30:07,220 --> 00:30:09,588
an enemy out of Sue Sylvester.
724
00:30:09,622 --> 00:30:11,456
You don't want to do that.
725
00:30:18,164 --> 00:30:19,965
Sorry, Sue.
726
00:30:20,567 --> 00:30:22,634
No deal.
727
00:30:23,670 --> 00:30:25,671
♪ ♪
728
00:30:33,169 --> 00:30:35,470
The sun is not the biggest nor
the brightest star in the sky.
729
00:30:35,504 --> 00:30:37,105
It's just the closest.
730
00:30:37,139 --> 00:30:39,374
There are bigger, brighter,
better stars.
731
00:30:39,408 --> 00:30:41,042
That's what I am.
732
00:30:41,076 --> 00:30:44,012
I will be
the biggest star of them all.
733
00:30:46,282 --> 00:30:49,117
Myspace is pretty much
the greatest invention ever.
734
00:30:49,151 --> 00:30:52,053
It democratizes performance and
lets anyone express themself
735
00:30:52,087 --> 00:30:54,789
to a wide audience from
the comfort of their own home.
736
00:30:54,824 --> 00:30:57,759
That's why I invested
all of my Bat Mitzvah money
737
00:30:57,793 --> 00:31:00,128
in the company.
Unfortunately, the Internet
738
00:31:00,162 --> 00:31:02,664
has also created the
democratization of criticism.
739
00:31:02,698 --> 00:31:04,299
Now people can anonymously
say things to me
740
00:31:04,333 --> 00:31:05,967
that they would
never have the guts
741
00:31:06,001 --> 00:31:07,635
to say to my face.
742
00:31:07,670 --> 00:31:09,737
I am proud to say
that I have grown numb
743
00:31:09,772 --> 00:31:11,972
to the cruelty, but
none of it is going to happen
744
00:31:11,974 --> 00:31:14,943
if there's no Glee Club.
Rumor has it that Mr. Shue's
745
00:31:14,977 --> 00:31:17,412
horrible wife told him last
night that she's with child.
746
00:31:17,446 --> 00:31:19,514
Time's are tough, and
he's probably gonna leave us
747
00:31:19,548 --> 00:31:20,949
for a high-paying job.
748
00:31:20,983 --> 00:31:22,517
That's the inciting incident.
749
00:31:22,551 --> 00:31:24,586
Glee Club is
the cosmic explosion that will
750
00:31:24,620 --> 00:31:27,155
propel the hot balloon
of light and gas
751
00:31:27,189 --> 00:31:28,990
that is my stardom
towards Earth...
752
00:31:29,024 --> 00:31:31,125
Specifically Midtown...
And without Will Schuester,
753
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,694
there's no Glee Club.
754
00:31:32,728 --> 00:31:34,688
There's no convincing him
to change.
755
00:31:34,697 --> 00:31:37,632
If I want him to give up on
this stupid accounting thing,
756
00:31:37,666 --> 00:31:40,201
I have to go talk directly to his boss.
757
00:31:40,236 --> 00:31:43,304
I am very aware that it is the
job off the assistant manager
758
00:31:43,339 --> 00:31:46,541
to stock the novelty sheets,
Howard, but I am pregnant,
759
00:31:46,575 --> 00:31:49,043
and my doctor says I
need to take it easy.
760
00:31:49,078 --> 00:31:51,045
- Are you on bed rest?
- Oh, not officially,
761
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,547
but I'm sure I will
be soon enough.
762
00:31:52,581 --> 00:31:54,341
And even sooner,
if you keep stressing me out
763
00:31:54,350 --> 00:31:56,310
by complaining that you can't
do my job right now.
764
00:31:56,318 --> 00:31:58,219
No, no, no, I-I'm sorry.
765
00:31:58,254 --> 00:32:01,689
I'll-I'll just give up sleeping
for a while to get it all done.
766
00:32:03,225 --> 00:32:05,059
Mrs. Schuester,
I'm Rachel Berry.
767
00:32:05,094 --> 00:32:06,461
I'm one of
your husband's students,
768
00:32:06,495 --> 00:32:07,695
Glee Club specifically.
769
00:32:07,730 --> 00:32:10,465
- I'm working.
- First of all,
770
00:32:10,499 --> 00:32:12,233
I just wanted to congratulate
you on your new addition.
771
00:32:12,268 --> 00:32:14,035
I can tell that you already
have the pregnancy glow.
772
00:32:14,069 --> 00:32:15,904
Oh. Thank you.
773
00:32:15,938 --> 00:32:17,806
Second of all, I just wanted to
ask you to reconsider guilting
774
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,542
your husband into quitting his
job and becoming an accountant.
775
00:32:20,576 --> 00:32:23,311
Here's what I've learned in the
years since I left high school.
776
00:32:23,345 --> 00:32:25,413
There's who you are, and
there's who you think you are.
777
00:32:25,448 --> 00:32:27,715
And your level of
personal misery is determined
778
00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:29,851
by how big the gap is
between them.
779
00:32:29,885 --> 00:32:33,488
It's my job as a wife to help
my husband see who he really is,
780
00:32:33,522 --> 00:32:36,257
rather than going after
who he thinks he ought to be.
781
00:32:36,292 --> 00:32:38,226
That's how I keep him happy.
782
00:32:38,260 --> 00:32:40,829
But isn't the point of life to
imagine yourself doing something
783
00:32:40,863 --> 00:32:43,331
greater, then working hard
to achieve all of your dreams?
784
00:32:43,365 --> 00:32:45,100
Yes, if it's realistic.
785
00:32:45,134 --> 00:32:47,936
See, I want a bigger house,
and I want to decorate it
786
00:32:47,970 --> 00:32:49,370
with the entire catalog
from Pottery Barn,
787
00:32:49,405 --> 00:32:51,239
and I can have those things.
788
00:32:51,273 --> 00:32:54,509
But not if I'm gonna let Will
ruin it by chasing after a dream
789
00:32:54,543 --> 00:32:56,511
that doesn't change our lives
in any measurable way.
790
00:32:56,545 --> 00:32:58,379
Oh, but he would be helping...
Mainly me...
791
00:32:58,414 --> 00:32:59,948
To achieve my full potential.
792
00:32:59,982 --> 00:33:01,616
That's not gonna help
Mama buy personalized.
793
00:33:01,650 --> 00:33:03,952
Mr. and Mrs. throw pillows
from the monogram shop.
794
00:33:03,986 --> 00:33:07,922
Do not put the plush blankets
with the novelty sheets!
795
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,229
You're stressing out my baby.
796
00:33:16,398 --> 00:33:17,766
Mrs. Schuester,
797
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,300
I am begging you to reconsider.
798
00:33:19,335 --> 00:33:20,935
Mr. Schuester listens to you.
799
00:33:20,970 --> 00:33:22,604
Yes, because he's my husband.
800
00:33:22,638 --> 00:33:25,940
And it is my job to bring
structure to our family,
801
00:33:25,975 --> 00:33:28,810
and his job to do as I say.
802
00:33:31,514 --> 00:33:34,949
I always wanted to be in
an all-male a Capella group.
803
00:33:35,985 --> 00:33:38,420
I guess my dream is dead, too.
804
00:33:42,691 --> 00:33:45,093
First the almighty Finn
Hudson joins Glee Club,
805
00:33:45,127 --> 00:33:47,562
and everyone rejoices
like he's baby Jesus.
806
00:33:47,596 --> 00:33:49,230
Then he quits, then he rejoins,
807
00:33:49,265 --> 00:33:51,266
then he immediately
starts bossing us around
808
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:53,860
like we're his slaves, and we're
supposed to be happy about that?
809
00:33:53,869 --> 00:33:55,437
We need him though, Kurt.
810
00:33:55,471 --> 00:33:57,238
Why? Because
he's popular?
811
00:33:57,273 --> 00:33:58,907
No, he's not only popular.
812
00:33:58,941 --> 00:34:01,443
He's at the top of the damn
McKinley High food chain.
813
00:34:01,477 --> 00:34:03,912
But I don't know...
Maybe he needs us, too.
814
00:34:03,946 --> 00:34:05,814
Oh, yeah, sure. The guy
with the perfect life
815
00:34:05,848 --> 00:34:07,649
needs to hang out with
the damaged goods.
816
00:34:07,683 --> 00:34:08,817
Who you calling "damaged goods"?
817
00:34:08,851 --> 00:34:10,418
No one!
818
00:34:10,453 --> 00:34:12,287
I'm just saying that
I don't trust him.
819
00:34:12,321 --> 00:34:14,856
I mean, he already gets
everything that he wants.
820
00:34:14,890 --> 00:34:17,592
What is he doing barging into
our club and taking it over?
821
00:34:17,626 --> 00:34:19,928
Mark my words, he's gonna get
822
00:34:19,962 --> 00:34:21,602
some jocks and some
Cheerios! To join him,
823
00:34:21,630 --> 00:34:23,665
and then we are
gonna get pushed out.
824
00:34:23,699 --> 00:34:24,866
Oh, no.
825
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:26,134
Nobody pushes out
Mercedes Jones.
826
00:34:26,168 --> 00:34:28,369
Or Kurt Hummel.
I will not allow it.
827
00:34:28,404 --> 00:34:30,105
No, sir.
828
00:34:30,139 --> 00:34:32,874
You know, now that
I think about it,
829
00:34:32,908 --> 00:34:34,943
he was pretty bossy today.
830
00:34:34,977 --> 00:34:37,479
I cannot believe he convinced
me to make our costumes.
831
00:34:37,513 --> 00:34:39,447
Oh, by the way,
if you need help with that,
832
00:34:39,482 --> 00:34:40,949
I'm more than happy to pitch in.
833
00:34:40,983 --> 00:34:42,650
You can't go wrong
with red and denim.
834
00:34:42,685 --> 00:34:45,165
How did you become so
smart and adorable?
835
00:34:48,524 --> 00:34:50,458
Oh.
836
00:34:50,493 --> 00:34:52,193
Baby, can you hand
me some sugar?
837
00:34:52,228 --> 00:34:53,628
Oh.
838
00:34:53,662 --> 00:34:55,163
Sure.
839
00:34:55,197 --> 00:34:56,831
Thanks!
840
00:34:56,866 --> 00:34:58,533
You're the only openly
gay person I know.
841
00:34:58,567 --> 00:34:59,734
That is so brave of you.
842
00:34:59,769 --> 00:35:01,403
Well, coming out was
843
00:35:01,437 --> 00:35:02,737
the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.
844
00:35:02,772 --> 00:35:04,639
But I'm telling you
it feels so nice
845
00:35:04,673 --> 00:35:06,541
to not be living a lie anymore.
846
00:35:06,575 --> 00:35:08,143
So what about you, Joby?
847
00:35:08,177 --> 00:35:09,677
Are you thinking about
coming out anytime soon?
848
00:35:09,712 --> 00:35:11,513
What? I-I'm not gay.
849
00:35:11,547 --> 00:35:12,881
I'm straight as an arrow.
850
00:35:12,915 --> 00:35:14,315
I'm attracted to women.
851
00:35:14,350 --> 00:35:15,350
Obviously, of course.
852
00:35:15,384 --> 00:35:17,052
Um, I-I had no idea, I...
853
00:35:17,086 --> 00:35:19,254
I mean, it's obvious
that Rachel's only
854
00:35:19,288 --> 00:35:21,189
letting him stay in the club
because she has
855
00:35:21,223 --> 00:35:22,757
a fat crush on him.
856
00:35:22,792 --> 00:35:23,992
So do you. No, I don't.
857
00:35:24,026 --> 00:35:25,860
Oh, get real, you do, too.
858
00:35:25,895 --> 00:35:27,328
Yeah, maybe you're right.
859
00:35:27,363 --> 00:35:30,231
Maybe having Finn Hudson around
is a mistake.
860
00:35:30,266 --> 00:35:32,701
I'm gonna call
an emergency meeting.
861
00:35:38,518 --> 00:35:40,519
And another thing... he wants us
to do "Don't Stop Believin'."
862
00:35:40,553 --> 00:35:41,787
Our audience is
gonna think we're doing
863
00:35:41,821 --> 00:35:43,255
a salute to The Sopranos finale.
864
00:35:43,289 --> 00:35:46,024
- You guys started without me?
- Uh, hell yeah, Berry.
865
00:35:46,059 --> 00:35:47,593
- You're, like, ten minutes late.
- You're lucky that I came
866
00:35:47,627 --> 00:35:49,461
at all and I don't think
that we should be having
867
00:35:49,496 --> 00:35:51,663
emergency meetings without all
of our members, including Finn.
868
00:35:51,698 --> 00:35:53,298
That's what this is about.
869
00:35:53,333 --> 00:35:55,267
Okay, we're having
second thoughts about him.
870
00:35:55,301 --> 00:35:56,802
For the record,
not all of us are.
871
00:35:56,836 --> 00:35:58,337
Okay, we can't kick him out.
872
00:35:58,371 --> 00:36:00,272
I just personally
persuaded him to come back.
873
00:36:00,306 --> 00:36:02,508
Them personally
persuade him to quit.
874
00:36:02,542 --> 00:36:05,144
It shouldn't be that difficult.
He's already quit once before.
875
00:36:05,178 --> 00:36:06,678
Look, it's obvious that Artie
876
00:36:06,713 --> 00:36:09,782
and I don't fit your idea
of a proper leading man.
877
00:36:09,816 --> 00:36:12,618
And honestly I don't care, but
he shouldn't be an evil jock.
878
00:36:12,652 --> 00:36:14,319
I don't think
that Finn Hudson is evil.
879
00:36:14,354 --> 00:36:16,155
Now, his girlfriend,
Quinn Fabray?
880
00:36:16,189 --> 00:36:17,189
She's a grade-A bitch.
881
00:36:17,223 --> 00:36:19,024
Hey, all I know
882
00:36:19,059 --> 00:36:21,894
is that when the jocks locked
me in that nasty Porta-Potty,
883
00:36:21,928 --> 00:36:23,996
Finn Hudson rescued me.
884
00:36:24,030 --> 00:36:26,298
Then, after rehearsal,
he wheeled me home.
885
00:36:26,332 --> 00:36:29,301
He wheeled me all the way home,
886
00:36:29,335 --> 00:36:30,903
and he told my mom what happened
887
00:36:30,937 --> 00:36:32,638
and he apologized to her.
888
00:36:32,672 --> 00:36:34,540
So, he's not evil.
889
00:36:34,574 --> 00:36:37,242
Not by a long shot.
He's never called me fat.
890
00:36:37,277 --> 00:36:39,378
I mean, that's better than most
of the jerks at this school.
891
00:36:39,412 --> 00:36:41,513
I guess when I got tossed
into the Dumpster,
892
00:36:41,548 --> 00:36:43,549
he let me take off
my Marc Jacobs jacket.
893
00:36:43,583 --> 00:36:45,250
That was kind of nice.
894
00:36:45,285 --> 00:36:47,986
He is awfully c-cute.
895
00:36:48,021 --> 00:36:51,356
Maybe he's not
that different than us.
896
00:36:51,391 --> 00:36:52,658
Maybe he just
897
00:36:52,692 --> 00:36:54,493
wants to be accepted
for who he is
898
00:36:54,527 --> 00:36:56,528
and not for
what people label him as.
899
00:36:56,563 --> 00:36:58,530
And if we start
excluding people,
900
00:36:58,565 --> 00:37:01,133
then we're no different
than the people who exclude us.
901
00:37:03,236 --> 00:37:06,872
So far, my time
at McKinley has sucked.
902
00:37:06,906 --> 00:37:09,808
But... not this week.
903
00:37:11,811 --> 00:37:14,079
I made some friends.
904
00:37:14,114 --> 00:37:16,715
And that's always been
really hard for me.
905
00:37:18,418 --> 00:37:21,520
I don't know what's gonna happen
with this club,
906
00:37:21,554 --> 00:37:23,522
but...
907
00:37:23,556 --> 00:37:25,858
maybe it'll be
something special.
908
00:37:25,892 --> 00:37:27,693
Maybe it'll be
909
00:37:27,727 --> 00:37:30,596
somewhere safe where we can...
910
00:37:30,630 --> 00:37:33,432
learn from each other
and be who we are,
911
00:37:33,466 --> 00:37:36,301
including people
who are different than us.
912
00:37:36,336 --> 00:37:39,204
When we look back
on our time here,
913
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,040
we should be proud.
914
00:37:41,074 --> 00:37:45,244
For what we did
and-and who we included.
915
00:37:47,514 --> 00:37:49,982
All in favor of keeping Finn
in the Glee Club?
916
00:37:50,984 --> 00:37:52,051
Aye.
917
00:37:52,085 --> 00:37:52,818
Aye.
918
00:37:52,852 --> 00:37:53,852
Aye.
919
00:37:55,522 --> 00:37:57,956
Aye.
920
00:37:59,693 --> 00:38:02,628
Aye.
921
00:38:02,662 --> 00:38:04,329
For the last time,
my hands are tied.
922
00:38:04,364 --> 00:38:06,665
I can't offer Will Schuester
a raise to run a club
923
00:38:06,700 --> 00:38:09,568
that no one cares about
and has only six members!
924
00:38:09,602 --> 00:38:11,303
Fine, then we're gonna lose Will
Schuester, and it's gonna be
925
00:38:11,337 --> 00:38:12,971
under your leadership
that McKinley High becomes
926
00:38:13,006 --> 00:38:14,773
the most recent in a very long
line of public schools
927
00:38:14,808 --> 00:38:17,609
that offer no performing arts
whatsoever!
928
00:38:17,644 --> 00:38:20,012
And that's a fact
that wounds me deeply,
929
00:38:20,046 --> 00:38:23,182
neurotic, adorable Guidance
Counselor Emma Pillsbury.
930
00:38:23,216 --> 00:38:26,318
I can't offer Will
Schuester more money,
931
00:38:26,353 --> 00:38:28,887
but I can offer him
something better.
932
00:38:29,956 --> 00:38:33,993
A precious adolescent memory.
933
00:38:34,027 --> 00:38:35,694
I scoured McKinley's archives
934
00:38:35,729 --> 00:38:37,463
and found this footage
935
00:38:37,497 --> 00:38:41,867
of the 1993 National Show Choir
Championship
936
00:38:41,901 --> 00:38:46,805

00:39:24,444 --> 00:39:26,679
I just heard the great news.
945
00:39:26,713 --> 00:39:28,981
Oh, thanks. Yeah.
Terri and I are really excited.
946
00:39:29,015 --> 00:39:30,816
We've been talking
about kids for a while.
947
00:39:30,850 --> 00:39:33,385
No, not that news. Knocking
somebody up isn't difficult
948
00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:35,587
and hardly merits
a congratulations.
949
00:39:35,622 --> 00:39:37,556
No, I'm talking about
your other news,
950
00:39:37,590 --> 00:39:39,692
your leaving the profession
of teaching.
951
00:39:39,726 --> 00:39:41,727
Oh, uh... You know, to
be honest with you,
952
00:39:41,761 --> 00:39:43,395
teaching is for losers.
953
00:39:43,430 --> 00:39:45,910
Nope, accounting is the
career for you. Oh, hey,
954
00:39:45,932 --> 00:39:48,534
- I got you a going away present.
- An abacus.
955
00:39:48,568 --> 00:39:51,370
Yeah, the Orientals say it's
easier than a calculator,
956
00:39:51,404 --> 00:39:54,206
which is an obvious lie designed
to make us feel inferior.
957
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:57,776
Oh, and here's five years
worth of receipts
958
00:39:57,811 --> 00:39:59,545

959
00:39:59,579 --> 00:40:01,780

961
00:40:04,084 --> 00:40:06,385
And there's an awful lot
of bikini waxes in there
962
00:40:06,419 --> 00:40:07,720
you're gonna have to somehow
963
00:40:07,754 --> 00:40:10,222
