We're sorry Mr. Schue, we were just trying to help Brittany out.
Will
Lip-Synching is the equivalent of blood-doping in professional sports. Every gain we've made in the last 3 years has been wiped out, and I'm not just talking about our reputation here in McKinley. If the National Show Choir Board of Review gets wind of this, we could be barred from competing. What do you have to say for yourself Brittany?
To quote the legend yourself: "If I met me, I would say a quick hello and then think I was a really nice girl." And I resigned from Glee Club effective immediately.
Santana, Puck, you stay here with Marley. The rest of you guys get back up there. Leaving the stage mid-competition for any reason is risking immediate disqualification.
Yeah, it's a rule. One of the bylaws actually. As all of you were spiraling into a self-created k-hole of crazy, the judges, by unanimous vote have declared the Warblers victorious. Hey, congratulations Finn Hudson. For the first time in its charmed yet pitiful existence, the New Directions has lost Sectionals. But here's the good news, Christmas came early for one Sue Sylvester.
Not if you win a national championship, I'm not. However, if you do fail to win at nationals, I will fire you and you'll be forced to build creepy relationships with teenagers on your own time.
I know. I should probably start getting used to it.
Will
No, no. You should never get used to it. All great changes come from people who refused to get used to what was accepted but wasn't right. Slavery, gay rights, New Coke.
You're right. Oh, it would have burned Finn to have lost to those guys. All we would have heard for months was how the judges had robbed you or how you were so much better than them.
Yeah, but then he would have stood up, and he would have told you that even though most of you had never been in a show choir before this year. You still stood tall against the best of the best. And you know what, even though Finn didn't have the best voice of the best rhythm or the best throwing arm, he always brought out the best in himself and in others, and the great thing about him is he always managed to find a way to feel like he'd won.
CCarol
I was really proud of you guys up there. Hearing those songs was so healing for me and who know I saw how much he meant to you. So win or lose, Finn lives in you guys.
Will
Okay guys, let's put this trophy where it belongs.
I bet you're hoping for a last-minute reprieve and then I'll say something about how you plucky band of pinhead minstrels overcame so much to get where they did & how 2nd place is actually an achievement.
Will
I can't say I wasn't secretly hoping you would consider it.
Well, I have considered it. More than you know. But I just can't. In the words of Ex-Principal Figgins: "My hands are tied". I'm the principal now William & my job is concerned with the health of the entire school, not just the fiefdoms that I like. And I do like you, William. That being said, the Cheerios stay because they won. So does the debate team, the football team, the girls soccer team, & mock U.N. However, diving, academic decathlon, actual decathlon, & yes, the glee club need to go.
Will
Should I fight? Should I make a speech about the arts or how much this club means to me personally?
It's prime real estate. They'll probably turn it into 2 classrooms. And since we won't be needing the band anymore to play everything from obscure Broadway to Queen at a moment's notice, probably sell off their equipment & buy some computers. Butt-Chinn up, Schuester. Look where you were 4 years ago when you started this thing. You've got a national championship trophy from last year in that case, & a bunch of other loser trophies standing with it. You & your team have done phenomenally well, & you did it with the world's greatest nemesis playing her best game against you. You didn't lose, William. Game's just over.
[Crying] I'm sorry. I just really love you guys. You know how many Facebook friends I had before I joined Glee Club? Two. My parents. Rachel was right. Being a part of something special-it made me special. I just can't believe it's going to be over in a week.
Mr. Schuester? Do you think instead of nominating songs, we can just...all go around the room and talk about things we loved about Glee Club this year? [has tears going down her face]
If this is only about winning for you guys, then I owe you all an apology, because I've failed you. And we should just all go home, because it means we've already lost. Besides, we have got something that the other groups don't.
Nine months ago, there were five of you in here. And we sucked. I mean, we really sucked. Bad. (Laughs). One day, all of you are going to be gone. And all of this, all of us will be nothing but a hazy memory. It will take you a second to remember everyone's name. someone will have to remind you of the songs we sung, the solos you got or didn't get. Life only really has one beginning and one end, and the rest is just a whole lot of middle. And I love you guys too much to let you not make the most of it. Now, I was going to quit once, but you guys brought me back with "Don't Stop Believing." It was a nine, but we are going to make it a ten.
And then some. We are doing a Journey medley. Because who cares what happens when we get there when the getting there has been so much fun? Rachel? You had something you wanted to say?
Because Sue cheated! She cheated, Will, and where do you think all that money's going? It's going right into her pockets. We just…We can't let her win this one! How can you just stand there and be so calm about this? How can you just give up so easily?
