Oh, you mean like meeting other girls? 'Cause I think I'm dating Rachel, or at least she sure thinks I am.
S1 E14Hell-O
Lionel Richie, uh? One of my favorites.
Oh, my God, you're Jesse St. James. You're in Vocal Adrenaline.
And you're Rachel Berry. I saw your performance in sectionals. Your rendition of Don't Rain On My Parade was flawed. You totally lacked Barbra's emotional depth. But you're talented. This is one of my favorite haunts. I like to come and flip through the celebrity biographies; pick up some lifestyle tips. I'm a senior now, so this year is kinda my victory lap. Snagging a fourth consecutive national championship would just be gravy. I'm getting out of Ohio soon. I've got a full ride to a little school called the University of California, Los Angeles. Maybe you've heard of it. It's in Los Angeles.
What do you say we take her for a spin?
Here? No-no, I'm kinda nervous.
I remember when I used to get nervous. C'mon. I do this all the time. I like to give impromptu concerts to the homeless. It's so important to give back.
Did you see what Rachel was wearing today?
Oh, I know! She looked like Pippi Longstocking, but like, Israeli.
Sometimes I forget my middle name.
[at Carmel High auditorium to talk to Jesse, with a bright spotlight on her face) Who is there? I carry a rape whistle.
[chuckling] Just me. [Rachel sighs] Most spots are 2500 watts, this one is ten times brighter. We have to wear sunscreen onstage, but it's worth it.
Guess everything is bigger and brighter here. [Jesse chuckles and turns the spot off] I have to ask you something, and I need you to tell me the truth, otherwise there will be consequences - life and death consequences. Because if I give myself to you, and it turns out that you're just playing me, I might die. Okay, not literally, but emotionally. It'll be the kind of heartbreak that girls like me hold for the rest of their lives. Like Barbra in 'The Way They Were'.
[laughing and holds Rachel] Oh my God.
What?
You're more of a drama queen than I am. [after a moment he holds out a hand to Rachel] Hi, I'm Jesse.
I know who you are.
You know Jesse St. James, the star of Vocal Adrenaline, your competition at Regionals. I wanna introduce you to Jesse - the guy who is nuts about you. The guy who would never hurt you.
[sighing and holds Jesse] No one can know.
I understand.
S1 E15The Power of Madonna
Can I ask you guys something private?
Yes, you should move to Israel.
[to Rachel] Would you please stop talking? You're grossing out my baby.
Lindsay Lohan looks like something out of “Lord of the Rings”.
The last guy I liked was the mayor of Gaytown.
Y'all just trot me out at the end of every number so I can wail on the last note. How is that okay?
Hey girl!
[stops short and turns Artie's wheelchair around to face her]: My eyes? Are up here! I am a person with feelings! Get out of my grill! I am a powerful woman, and my growing feminism will cut you in half like a righteous blade of equality! [stomps away]
[to Rachel, who locked in the bathroom] Just come out so we can talk. Or sing about it.
Look, Jesse, I really like you, but I can't do it. It wouldn't be right for... the team.
What does the team have to do with this?
If I give myself to you knowing that my teammates wouldn't approve, it would be like I was sleeping with the enemy. I'd be betraying them. And because I'm truly not ready to do this, I'd be betraying myself.
[Schuester has just told New Directions that Jesse is joining]
[to Jesse] I don't understand why you're doing this.
Because when you love something, you gotta go for it. You would never be with me completely if I were on the opposing team. And I care about you more than winning another national title. So I left Vocal Adrenaline. For you.
