Rachel Berry quotes from Glee

Rachel

Excuse me? Um, miss LuPone? I have to say that you're my idol.

Well thank you, that's very sweet of you. Are you an actress?

Rachel

Yes-- well, i'm... i'm in high school.

Finn

We're in town for the national showchoir championship.

I was in choir in high school! It was my favorite class! What's your name?

Rachel

Rachel Berry.

Well Rachel Berry, promise me one thing: you'll never give up.

Rachel

Yes, miss LuPone, I promise.

[shakes Rachel's hand] Good luck. [shakes Finn's hand] Good luck.

Finn

Thank you.

[to Rachel, whispering] He's cute.

Rachel

Santana? [sees Sunshine coming out of the stall] Oh! Shoving your fingers down your throat like the rest of your brainwashed Vocal Adrenaline brothers & sisters?

I'm not throwing up on purpose. I'm so nervous i can't keep any food down. I used to love singing. It was the only thing that relaxed me. Now I hate it.

Rachel

Do you think I'm an idiot?

No! I think you're kinda mean but I don't think you're stupid.

Rachel

I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to get me feel bad for you so that I don't try as hard to crush you on the stage.

What did I ever do to you to make you hate me so much? When I came to your school, I heard that the Glee club was where kids went when no one else would take them, a safe place, for some reasons, you made me the only one who wasn't safe there. [begins to leave]

Rachel

Where are you going?

To the Philippine Embassy. I'm going to beg them to revoke my visa and deport me back home. That's the only way I'm gonna be able to escape Vocal Adrenaline.

Rachel

Jus... wai.. wait. It's because you're good. That's why I hated you, that's why I've sent you to that crack house. I'm sorry. But you have to go out there and sing. You have a gift! Something that Dustin Goolsby would kill for.

I can't. I'm gonna barf all over the stage.

Rachel

If you feel like you're gonna throw up, just look at me and I'll help you through it

Why? Don't you wanna win?

Rachel

Girls like us have to stick together. I'm hugging you now. [hugs Sunshine]

Rachel

I think we were good.

Finn

Good? We were amazing!

Rachel

The kiss was... interesting.

Finn

Yeah, I'm calling it the kiss of the century-

Jesse

You're wrong, Finn. That kiss was unprofessional. It was too personal and intense. The judges won't like it. They'll consider it common and vulgar and will cost you nationals. Hi Rachel, you look amazing and you sounded great. You just shouldn't have kissed him.

Rachel

Why are you here Jesse?

Jesse

For you.

Finn

Dude, back off; you're just jealous. Jealous of what we have, and what we shared with the entire audience because it was shared between two people who love each other. It was the Superman of kisses! It came with its own cape, right Rachel?

Rachel

Where have you been?

Finn

Hiding out. Everyone hates me.

Rachel

No, they don't. And that doesn't explain why you haven't said a word to me since we've been back.

Finn

You should be more pissed at me than anyone else. I screwed up. I'm humiliated! And we worked so hard for everything and I was supposed to be this big-shot leader holding everyone together and…I blew it. Cost us the championship.

Rachel

Look, being an artist is about expressing your true feelings in the moment no matter what the consequences. What were you feeling in that moment?

Finn

That I loved you. And I would've done or given anything to kiss you one more time.

Rachel

So you did. You know, you gave it all up for one kiss… Was is worth it?

Finn

Yeah. What about you? Was it worth it for you?

Rachel

Yeah. Because in my heart, I know we'll have another shot at nationals. You have to know that I'm leaving, Finn. I'm going to New York and I'm never coming back.

Finn

Graduation's a year away. You got any plans 'til then? [kisses Rachel]

Rachel

Okay, let's go. [gets up]

Finn

[confused] Where are we going?

Rachel

Final glee club meeting of the year!

Rachel

Hey, Quinn. [turns to Quinn's friends] Uh, hello...skanks.

Your friend stinks of soap, Quinn.

Rachel

[to Quinn] We were friends once. Okay, and maybe when you cut off all of your hair last year and thought it would solve all of your problems, I should've spoken up. Maybe when you dropped out of society and started dating that 40 year old skateboarder, I should have said-

Quinn

I'm not coming back to glee club.

Rachel

We need you, okay? Have you seen those purple pianos around school? We're planning this big recruiting and it's a tribute to the Go-Gos. I mean, who doesn't love the Go-Gos?

I prefer the Bangles.

Rachel

Okay. We need your tremulous alto and your Belinda Carlisle glamor.

I'll give you ten bucks if you let me beat her up for you, Quinn.

Rachel

I'm sorry you're so sad, Quinn, and maybe you're not going to believe me because we were never really close but I'm sad not seeing you in the choir room and we've all been through so much together, we're a family, and this is our year to get it right. We would love to have you back in the Glee club, whenever you're ready, okay?

Kurt

I just realized we did the gay high five.

Rachel

[laughs] We did!

Finn

You're the best girlfriend ever. [leans in to kiss Rachel]

Rachel

No, you got grease on your nose.

Finn

Oh. [about to wipe his nose]

Rachel

[shrugs] What the heck. [kisses Finn]

Rachel

I know it.

Mercedes

I lived it.

Rachel

Okay, you know what Santana? Finn is in great shape and your meanness only highlights your own insecurities.

Santana

Rachel, your mustache is thicker than a Middle Eastern dictator.

Rachel

So about the whole pastie thing...

Kurt

Let's just skip ahead while we're ahead, dollie.

Santana

What did you just say to her? [points at Rachel]

Finn

I said I thought you were great.

Santana

No, you're lying.

Rachel

No. He literally just said that.

Santana

(at Finn) You told her too?

Will

[stands up] Santana.

Santana

(at Finn) Everyone's gonna know now, because of you.

Finn

The whole school already knows. And you know what? They don't care.

Santana

Not just the school, you idiot. Everyone!

Finn

What are you talking abo-

Kurt

I going to lose unless I pull a JFK.

Rachel

You're going to shoot Brittany?!

Mercedes

Move your busted creeper ass…

Tina

…now!

Easy girls. I'm just trying to make her normal.

Brittany

She is normal.

Quinn

It's not a choice, idiot. But even if it were you would be our last choice.

Oh, I get it. So you're all a bunch of lesbos.

Rachel

So what if we are. You don't stand a chance either way.

Finn

I didn't know Backdraft was a musical.

Rachel

[frowns when realizations hits her]

Someone get the door because here comes Mr. Package.

Rachel

Oh God no.

And ladies, let's give a warm welcome to White Chocolate.

Finn

That's an image I'll never be able to get out of my mind.

Rachel

Give me a dollar.

Finn

What?

Rachel

Just give me a dollar.

Finn

[gives Rachel a dollar and Rachel approaches Sam]

Sam

[shocked] Rachel. Rachel!
