but my dreams are bigger than that. and they're bigger than you.
Rachel Berry was both extremely sad and extremely happy throughout this episode. This results in an overload of caps. You have been warned. Really.
J: How does it feel to be just a sophomore and get the lead in the school musical?
R: It's a honor. Frankly, one I feel I earned. If there's anything I've learned in my sixteen years on the stage, it's that stars are rare. And when they're found, you have to let the shine.
J: Show me your bra.
R: You mean the one I'm wearing?
J: Quid pro quo, Rachel. If you want a good review show me your over the shoulder boulder holder.
R: No way! You can't do that. My performance will stand on its own. Besides, no one reads the school paper anyway.
J: Oh, but I'll post my scathing review online. You'll be finished on the high school stage. Now, get those sweater puppies out of their cashmere cage.
S: Sorry, I'm late. My vespa had a flat. Give me a minute and I'll be ready for my interview.
J: We're actually not going to need any quotes from you for the article, Mr. Ryerson. Do the right thing. All the great actresses take their clothes off.
S: Well, I have no problem with nudity. Let me tell you about my planned production for Equus. Have you ever hung out at a stable?
F: Hey, what are you doing?
R: Uh, nothing. Uh, just getting the star treatment I didn't get in Glee.
F: Totally.
R: It's times like these where I know I've chosen the right path. I'm never going back to Glee. It's clear my talent is too big for an ensemble.
F: Not going to get an argument from me.
R: I'm not?
F: No, you're like the most talented person I know. Even more than that guy that can juggle chainsaws.
F: I just wanted to let you know if you need someone to run lines with, I'm available.
R: There is a lot of dialogue.
F: Figured we could go somewhere quiet. Maybe with low lighting.
F: Let me know.
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky / Maybe this time, he'll stay / Maybe this time / For the first time / Love won't hurry away / He will hold me fast / I'll be home at last / Not a loser anymore / Like the last time / And the time before
Everybody loves a winner / So nobody loved me / Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy, / That's what I long to be / All the odds are, they are in my favor / Something's bound to begin / It's got to happen, happen sometime / Maybe this time I'll win
Cause everybody, they love a winner / So nobody loved me / Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy / That's what I long to be
All the odds are, they are in my favor / Something's bound to give in / It's got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time / Maybe this time I'll win
R: What good is sitting alone in your room?
S: This is terrible.
R: Come hear the music play.
S: This is a disaster.
R: Life is a cabaret-
S: I'm going to barf.
R: -old chum
S: Boring!
R: Come to the cabaret
S: No! No! No! No! No!
R: I don't know what you want.
S: Well, I know what I don't want. And it is all of this. When I gave you this part, I thought you could handle it but clearly you can't. What this show needs is a star with a little bit more maturity.
R: I know what you are trying to do. You are trying to make me quit so you can be the star. Well, it won't work. I'm not going anywhere.
R: I'm sleeping with him.
F: So am I. This play's weird.
R: That's Mr. Ryerson's favorite line. You're a really good actor, Finn.
R: Maybe you should consider joining the musical.
F: Um, pretty devoted to glee. I don't think I could just walk away from it. I know how hard it was for you. But I could justify doing both If you came back but we both know that's not going to happen.
F: Do you know what we should do?
R: Elope?
F: What?
R: Nothing.
F: We should go bowling. You're always so stressed out about the play. You just need to loosen up. I always going bowling whenever I'm worked up about a big game or something.
R: Just us?
F: Yeah.
R: Yeah, th-that would be great. I am really stressed out. But that's the price you pay for being a star.
A: Don't I know it.
W: Hey, Rachel. April Rhodes, Rachel Berry.
W: Hey, could you give us the room, Rachel? We need to teach April the cues for Don't Stop Believin'.
F: Wait, she's singing the female lead?
R: Wait, she's in the Glee Club? She's ancient.
A: Talent doesn't age, sweetheart.
F: That's Rachel's part, Mr. Schue.
W: Well, Rachel isn't in the Glee Club anymore.
R: Thanks, Finn.
W: Rachel. We're all really excited to see the play. Make sure you save us a seat in the front row.
S: YOU SUCK!
A: Aww. Rough day at the office, cookie?
R: Just got a lot on my plate. It's not easy being in the spotlight. It's a difficult road I've chosen.
A: I know that song, sister. Um, do you have any Nyquil? I could use a little pick me up.
A: These high school boys are a lot hotter than they use to be. That Finn Hudson is one cutie pie I gots my eye on.
R: Finn's taken, April.
A: Yeah, well, some guys like a little something-something on the side.
R: I think your behavior is totally inappropriate. And your presence in this school is a complete travesty. What you choose to do with your life is your own business but don't go around screwing up everyone else's.
A: I'm not afraid of you, sweetie.
A: There was a time I when was the biggest star around here. And now that I've got that back, I'm never letting it go.
R: Do I have to put my fingers in the holes? Couldn't there be diseases in there or something?
F: Ah, no. Ball sharing is all part of the fun. Here, use the pink one. Pink is your favorite color, right?
R: Now what?
F: Follow my lead.
F: Okay, so, you just look at the pins. Nice and straight.
F: Sure this is your first time?
R: This is really good pizza.
F: Yeah, I think they import the pepperoni from like... Michigan or something.
R: How's Glee?
F: Well, everybody misses you.
R: They miss my talent.
F: No, no. We're your friends. We just miss having you around.
R: I love Glee. I just... don't see the point in wasting my energy on some place I'm not appreciated.
F: I appreciate you.
F: It's your last ball.
F: Just like the first time but better.
F: Come back to Glee
R: What about Quinn?
F: I don't know what's going to happen in the future I just know that I want to spend more time with you now.
R: I'll-I'll have to quit the play.
R: I'll do it.
P: Are you that stupid? Seriously? I bet you thought Burt and Ernie were just roommates. Maybe Quinn's got one in the oven.
M: Who's the baby's daddy?
P: Who do you think? Finn.
R: Yes, you've heard right. I'm returning to Glee Club. In lieu of flowers please send all donations to a socially conscious charity of your choice.
M: This is a hot damn mess.
R: Uh, I'm sorry but I thought I would be welcomed back with a tad more enthusiasm.
K: Sorry, Glee Club has just been rocked with its first scandal.
M: Quinn's knocked up.
K: And the baby daddy... Finn.
R: Finn! You're a liar. Why didn't you tell me Quinn was pregnant?
F: Who told you?
R: Everyone knows but me. I'm the only fool who went out with you and let you kiss me, thinking you actually had feelings for me.
F: But I-I do. Look, yeah, I haven't been totally honest with you but that's different than lying. Well, maybe it's that much different. But, look, I need to get a music scholarship so I can go to college, get a good job so I can take care of my kid. And I can't do that if you don't come back to Glee Club. You should take it as a compliment.
R: You could have just been honest with me.
F: Look, I know what I did was wrong. I get that but that kiss was real.
R: Whatever it was ruined any chance of me ever coming back to Glee. I hope you have fun playing house with Quinn while you languish in your little ensemble. But my dreams are bigger than that. And they're bigger than you.
R: Ms. Sylvester, we need to talk. If you'd like me to return to the musical, changes need to be made.
S: Well, Rachel, I couldn't agree with you more. You know when I heard Sandy wanted to write himself in a scene as Queen Cleopatra, I was aroused than furious. I hereby grant you complete artistic control.
S: Congratulations, kiddo. You now have everything you could possibly want. Isn't it a great feeling?
W: April is amazing but she's not in the Glee Club anymore. I, uh, I screwed up bringing her here. It was about me and Glee Club is suppose to be about you guys. You don't need her to be great.
M: But we need her for the second act.
W: I'll just have to go out there and tell them we had to cut the show short. Hey, guys. You were great. Don't worry. There will be other performances.
R: Excuse me. I think I might have a solution. In show business when a star can't perform, her understudy steps in. I'd be happy to go in for April if you let me.
M: Since when are you willing to be an understudy?
R: Since I quit the play.
K: Really? Why?
R: I realized being a star didn't make feel as special as being your friend. If I let you down when you needed me the most, I'd never forgive myself.
R: I know all the words to the song.
Q: You don't know the cheorography.
F: Then we're going to have to give her a lot of help out there.
W: Go get in your costume.
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little / Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry / Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you / But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody / Can anybody find me
Somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm / I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright / Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell / Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love / Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Find me somebody to love / Somebody find me / Find me / Somebody find me / Somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
