Finn : I think she just had a bad breakfast burrito.
Kurt : Can we please talk about the giant elephant in the room?
Santana : Your sexuality?
Kurt : Rachel. We can't do it without her.
Will : That's not true. We may have to layer Santana Mercedes over Quinn's solo, but...we'll be fine.
Artie : Maybe for the invitationals, but not for the sectionals and certainly not the regionals.
Puck : The wheelchair kid's right. That Rachel chick wants me wanna light myself on fire, but she can sing.
Will : Rachel left, guys. She's gone. If we want to make this thing work, we can't look back. Alright, take five minutes. Will goes to the piano while the Glee Club gathers. Finn, he goes to Will.
Finn : Mr Shue? I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but with all the dancing around that Quinn's doing, I'm kind of worried about the baby.
Will : Yeah. Yeah, I get it. Um... how about I give Tina a few of her verses, okay?
Finn : Okay.

SCENE 2 : Restaurant - Will, Terri and the server Will and Terri moved to a table, while Terri swallows tons of cakes.
Will : How come you haven't had any morning sickness? Quinn Fabray has been upchucking every 15 minutes.
Terri : Really? That's a really good sign. That means the baby's not a Mongoloid.
Will : Well, is it bad that you haven't been sick then?
Terri : Oh, no, honey, no, no. You should ask Howard Bamboo about my Linda Blair impersonations every half hour at work. Terri smiled at Will worried.
Will : I don't know what I'm gonna do about this whole Rachel thing. Server approach.
Server : Hey. Would you like anything else?
Terri : Another piece of grasshopper pie.

Will : How is that possible? You must be 22.
Server : (Laughs) ... Twenty-four. I'm a sixth-year senior. They keep failing me so I can stay in Vocal Adrenaline.
Will : They fail you on purpose?
Server : Yeah.
Will : Is that legal?
Server : I'm the only one who can do the triple flip.

Finn : So... have I done something wrong... or...?
Emma : Oh, no. No, no. Absolutely not. No, um, actually, I've just, um, taken a special interest in you. Look, I know sometimes that life can come at you pretty fast, and, uh, you reach a point where you might just need a little, um, special guidance.
Finn : Has someone told you something about my personal life?
Emma : No. Mm-mm.
[Flash Back]
Moments earlier, Will in the office talking to Emma.
Will : Can you keep a secret?
[Back to reality]
Emma : But, you know, there are very few students that ever get athletic scholarships. Okay? But there are a lot of schools that give full rides to students who excel in music. Students like yourself. And I don't know, maybe if you were able to go to college, you wouldn't, say, end up stuck in this town in a dead-end job living hand- to-mouth with a wife and a kid you never intended to have, you know? For example. That's just something off the top of my head.
Finn : So you think if I stuck with Glee that I could get a scholarship?
Emma : It's definitely a possibility. You know? And if you did well at regionals, maybe you could, um, generate some interest.
Finn : But we lost Rachel. Do you think we can do it without her?
Emma : Sure.
[Flash Back]

Will : Do you think we can win regionals without Rachel?
Emma : Well, remember the Jamaican bobsled team? Big long shots. Emma went away.
[Back to reality]

Emma : ... Definitely. But if you're concerned about your future and, um, those who may be a part of your future soon, um, maybe you could just give Rachel a talk. You know, see if you can get her to come back. Finn nodding while the school bell rang.
SCENE 4 : Repetition Hall's - Jacob, Rachel, Sandy and Finn Rachel interview by Jacob for the Gazette's high school at the microphone.
Jacob : How does it feel to be just a sophomore and get the lead in the school musical?
Rachel : It's an honor. Frankly, one I feel I've earned. If there's anything I've learned in my 16 years on the stage, it's that stars are rare, and when they're found, you have to let them shine. Jacob stop recording.
Jacob : ... Mm. Show me your bra.
Rachel : You mean the one I'm wearing?
Jacob : Quid pro quo, Rachel. If you want a good review, show me your over the shoulder boulder holder.
Rachel : No way. You can't do that. My performance will stand on its own. Besides, no one reads the school paper, anyway.
Jacob : 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. Rachel rising annoyed.
Jacob : Mm... At this time, Sandy enters the room running.
Sandy : Sorry I'm late. My Vespa had a flat.(Jacob got up and arranging his affairs.)Give me a minute and I will be ready for my interview.
Jacob : We're actually not gonna need any quotes from you for the article, Mr Ryerson. Do the right thing. All the great actresses take their clothes off.
Sandy : Well, I have no problem with nudity. Let me tell you about « My planned production of Equus. » Have you ever hung out at a stable? Sandy was driving Jacob out, as Rachel sits down. Finn enters the room and sees Rachel.
Finn : Hey, what are you doing?
Rachel : Nothing. Uh, just... getting the star treatment I didn't get in Glee.
Finn : Totally.
Rachel : It's times like this 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. Finn approached her.
Finn : Not gonna get an argument from me.
Rachel : I'm not?
Finn : No. You're, like, the most talented person I know. Even more than that guy at the mall who can juggle chain saws. I just wanted to let you know that if you need someone to run lines with, I'm available.
Rachel : Th ....There is a lot of dialogue.

Will : Well, yeah, that's because April didn't even look at me. Aw, crap, there's no forwarding address.

Will : Emma, I'd love to play This Is Your Life, but... (Typing on his computer.) Lord Google demands my attention. Emma rising.
Emma : Okay, just wait....wait. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Um, reaching back into your past is a dangerous business, okay? People can change. They can, um, disappoint you...
Will : I think I can handle it.
Emma : I thought I could, too. Just hear me out, hear me out. A few years ago, I started an online flirtation with a high school flame Andy. Things got weird, and I called it off. And two months later... ...Versace was dead. Dead. Will returning to his computer.
Will : Okay.... April Rhodes... Ohio. Oh! She has a MySpace page.
Emma : Oh, God. Emma placing behind Will.

April : Then we ended up in Cleveland slinging hash at Ralph's Bait Shop and Waffle House. Then Ralph had an affair with Vinny. I had a set of mixed-race twins. And those were the good times. .... (Chuckles)... (Sighs)...

Will : I'm so sorry. I....I will, I'll talk to him.
Emma : Okay.
Will : Mm... (Sighing) Emma sat down.
Emma : I'm, um, I'm a little bit worried about the glee club.
Will : So am I. I mean... (sighs) if we don't place at regionals, it...it's all over.
Emma : We have obligations as teachers, Will, to give kids opportunities for growth and enrichment. With April in Glee, you're taking away a kid's chance to grow, and you're giving it to someone whose brain is soaked in corn booze.
Will : April's not finished, Emma. And if Glee's gonna win, I need to give her a second chance. She is a talented performer and I really think that the kids are going to learn a lot of valuable technique from her.

Rachel : Finn's taken, April.
April : Yeah, well, some guys like a little somethin'...somethin' on the side.
Rachel : 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.
April : I'm not afraid of you, sweetie. There was a time when I was the biggest star around here. And now that I've got that back... I'm never letting it go. April goes off leaving Rachel alone.
SCENE 20 : Bowling - Rachel, Finn, Will and April Rachel face the balls, hesitantly, speaks with Finn.

April : .... Well, you're right, Will. As of right now, I'm back on the wagon. April, giving him his glass.
Will : Really? That's great. Both laugh.
Will : I have to tell you something. I was in awe of you in high school. I mean, of all the roads I never traveled in my life, the one I regret the most was never... getting the chance to sing with you.
April : Really?
Will : Yeah. I mean, that's how you get better, you know? Singing with people who are better than you.
April : You really thought that much of me?

Rachel : Mm... (Sighing)
Finn : Well, maybe it's not that much different, but... but look, I need to get a music scholarship, so I can go to college, so I can 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.

Will : No, I can't let you go back out there. You broke a promise.
April : ... You're right. It's a great moment for me, but it didn't feel right. I don't belong up there. But everybody desserves their moment in the spotlight, you know, to shine? Oh, I got that standing ovation, Will. And it felt amazing. Like every bad decision I'd ever made just went away. I was back in the game. But then I look over and I see these sweet faces of these kids and I think... "I'm hogging their sunshine. It's their turn now, not yours." Will nodded.
April : ... They're so Lucky to have you, Will, because you won't let what happened to me ever happen to any of them.
Will : So, where you gonna go?
April : Well, um... I'm going to straighten up. Maybe try to find a new dream. You know, I always loved the Broadway.
Will : The Broadway. Both laugh.
April : Do you think there's a part out there for a washed-up has-been like me?
Will : April, you are not washed-up. And hey, there's always Branson.
April : Will ... Will ... Will ... April gives him a kiss on the cheek, happy when he takes her in his arms.

Will : April is amazing. But she's not in the glee club anymore. Everyone is surprised.
Will : It... I, uh... I screwed up bringing her here. It was about me and Glee Club is supposed to be about you guys. You don't need her to be great.
Mercedes : But we need her for the second act.
Will : I'll just have to go out there and tell them we had to cut the show short. Everyone is disappointed.

Mercedes : Since when are you willing to be an understudy?
Rachel : Since I quit the play.
Kurt : Really? Why?
Rachel : I realized being a star didn't make me feel as special as being your friend. If I'd let you down when you needed me the most, I'd never forgive myself. I know all the words to the song.
