i'm not quitting glee. i'm just looking for a reason to stay.
R: Excuse me, this isn't the right key.
W: No, it's actually the right key.
R: This is the alto part.
W: Yep. Tina's doing the solo.
R: I'm sorry this must be some sort of mix-up. I thought I made it very clear that anything from West Side Story goes to me. Maria is my part.
R: Natalie Wood was a Jew, you know. I've had a very deep, personal connection to this role since the age of one.
W: I'm trying to shake things up a bit. Get us out of our boxes.
R: You're trying to punish me.
W: I think you're being irrational.
R: I think you're being unfair!
W: I think you're being unfair to Tina. Who might have been happy about getting her first solo.
R: Tina knows how much I respect her. And I think she would agree with me that she's not ready for such an iconic role as Maria.
S: I'm going to fire four words at you. Liza Minnelli. Celine Dion.
What do you say to takin' chances? / What do you say to jumpin' off the edge?
Never knowin' if there's solid ground below / Or hand to hold or hell to pay
What do you say? What do you say?
S: Wow.
R: What's next?
S: Congratulations, Miss Sally Bowls. You just landed the lead.
R: An opportunity arose for me to showcase my talents and I took it. How's it any different from when you quit Glee to form your boy band?
W: Because I didn't do it out of spite.
R: I'm offended by that accusation.
R: I've always been a team player. Just admit it, Mr. Schue. You don't like me very much.
W: That's not true. I am your biggest - and sometimes your only - fan.
R: Look, I know who I am, okay? I know I can be a little abrasive, bossy, and conceited. I'm just hurt that you chose to judge me on that rather than on my talent.
R: I know it sounds awful but I'm the best one in there. I try the hardest and I want it the most.
W: Everyone knows that and they're scared of it. They all think they can slack off because you'll pick up their weight. We can't win regional’s like that. We need everyone that they're a star.
R: I'm not quitting Glee. I'm just looking for a reason to stay.
W: Oh, like me taking the solo away from Tina?
R: Everyone on the team is getting something out of being there. You're doing a great job of getting them out of their shells.
R: Except for me. I'm still getting my lipstick flushed down the toilet. I still don't have a boyfriend. Tina's great but why do you have to hurt me to make her feel good?
W: Just come to rehearsal.
W: Let's start today with "Tonight" from West Side Story.
W: Tina? Shows us what you got.
S: I thought you had Glee practice, my little multi-tasking star.
R: I quit. I'm yours exclusively.
R: "Maybe This Time" in B Flat.
I ♥ Rachel Berry.
