Quotes 

• Emma Pillsbury : Let me guess. Finn and Rachel are going to do a ballad, right? Followed by the kids joining in with a classic rock number where Mercedes will belt out the last jaw-dropping note.

  Will Schuester : Have you been going through my desk?

  Emma Pillsbury : It's what you always do.

• Will Schuester : Two things. First, our competition at sectionals are your classic stool choirs. Great voices, but they don't move. Now, if we're gonna beat them, we need to do what they can't: dance. Which is why I've decided to feature Brittany and Mike Chang's sweet moves in our performance.

  Rachel Berry : Wait, they're gonna dance in front of me while I sing my solo?

  Will Schuester : You're not getting a solo for this competition, Rachel.

  Mercedes Jones : Finally. So what song do I get to sing?

  Will Schuester : I was thinking that the winners of our duets competition would take the leads.

  Rachel Berry : Ken and Barbie? Wait, a-a-are you trying to throw this?

  Quinn Fabray : You used to be just sort of unlikeable, but now I pretty much feel like punching you every time you open your mouth.

• Will Schuester : Okay, listen, I have talked the talk about everyone in here feeling special for over a year now, but frankly, I haven't walked the walk. I mean, we have got a lot of talent here, and I'm gonna highlight it.

• Emma Pillsbury : [Will hands her a pair of tickets]  House seats to sectionals?

  Will Schuester : Those things are hard to come by. Scalpers are getting, like, five bucks for 'em.

• Will Schuester : Every team tries to showcase their strongest players.

  Emma Pillsbury : Look, just seeing your kids do the "Rocky Horror" thing really reminded me of how much talent you've got in Glee Club. Quinn has a beautiful voice, and Mike Chang has dance moves that are to die for. Look, I'm sure that you know what you're doing; I'm not saying that. Everyone has picked you as favorites for sectionals, you won your sectional last year. It's just, I don't know, you guys used to be the underdogs. Now you're a real team, which is wonderful. You're a constellation of stars. I would just hate to think that you might be ignoring some of them because they don't burn quite as obviously bright.

  [realizing she's overstepped] 

  Emma Pillsbury : I've said too much.

  Will Schuester : No. You said just enough.

• Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : All I can say is I didn't steal that soda machine, and if I did, I wasn't alone.

  Will Schuester : Okay, I'm gonna pretend that I didn't hear that, because if I did, I'd be down to ten glee club members, which as you probably remember from the rule book is two less what we need to compete at sectionals.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : I'm not big on reading rule books. Well, I'm not big on reading.

• Will Schuester : Kurt's gone, and he's never coming back. We need a twelfth member. Now, I always go to Rachel and Finn in these situations, but you might be the most well-known kid in this entire school.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : There's a method to my madness.

  Will Schuester : I want you to use that madness to recruit a new member. Glee needs you to be its ambassador.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : More like its am-bad-ass-ador.

• Rachel Berry : [fighting with Finn]  You know what? You guys are going to have to find somebody else to mindlessly harmonize in the background, because I'm not going on stage with him.

  Artie Abrams : Make that two subs. I'm not going out there with Brittany.

  Tina Cohen-Chang : Me, either.

  Will Schuester : Enough! Listen to yourselves! I'm ashamed of you. Think back to where you were this time last year. In this room. No set list, no choreography. No chance in hell of winning, but you did win. Because you did it together. Look, I don't care if you guys hate each other. All I want is for you guys to go out there and sing together. Get up there, and for six minutes, remind yourselves that you're not alone.

• Will Schuester : I'm tired of this, Rachel. You have a terrible attitude, you're a lousy sport, and it is not okay anymore.

  Rachel Berry : Well, I'm upset! I'm furious about this! About a couple of things, actually.

  Will Schuester : Well, I'm sorry you're disappointed. But you know, you could also make the choice to be happy that we're a part of a glee club that is bursting at the seams with talent. There's an awful lot of "me" talk going around. "What's in it for me?", "What solo am I gonna sing?". Now, when we go to sectionals, we're gonna be good sports. We'll cheer on the Hipsters, we'll cheer on Kurt and the Warblers. And if they win, we will congratulate them. Because that's who we are.

• Will Schuester : [Rachel enters the choir room with duct tape over her mouth]  Rachel, what are you doing?

  Rachel Berry : [removing the tape]  I'm not doing anything. You've silenced my talents, I'm merely protesting.

  [she replaces it, then removes it again] 

  Rachel Berry : My talents are wasted in this club. My star shines too bright, and I think you're threatened by it.
