06x02 - Homecoming

Post by bunniefuu »

Blaine: In a world where everything changes,

Some things always stay the same.

They say there's only three things

You can count on in life:

Death, taxes and dalton academy.

When kurt and i broke up, i was devastated.

I thought i was gonna spend the rest of my life with him,

And then suddenly he was gone.

My therapist told me i should concentrate

On the thing i love most: Music.

And then, i couldn't even do that.

But then i started coaching the warblers,

And i was totally reinvigorated.

♪ oh, yeah! ♪

I know i stepped out of the box when i started dating dave,

But honestly i thought

I needed to shake things up even more.

I mean, everyone's always saying

Change is a good thing, right?

So i stopped gelling my hair.

t*rror1st!

I even stopped wearing bow ties.

Hey.

It's me. It's blaine.

Look, bro, okay, i don't care what your name is.

I'm not into that stuff.

Blaine: It was that moment

I realized that i didn't need to change it up.

I had to get back to where i once belonged,

And that's dalton academy, where no matter what happens,

You can always count on the fact

That nothing's ever gonna change.

Excuse me.

Can i help you?

You're mr. Anderson, right?

Um, my name's jane.

I'm... New to dalton.

Uh... What do you mean?

You're a girl.

My dad went to dalton.

And two of my uncles.

That's nice.

But then here i was, stuck at one of

The lowest-performing public schools in ohio,

With no arts, no music.

So my parents brought a title ix lawsuit against dalton academy

And won.

That's shocking.

I mean, that's-that's amazing.

Thanks, that's nice to hear.

Anyway, i talked to the dean of performing arts,

And he said i should talk to you.

I want to be a warbler.

Attention, mckinley idiots.

It's homecoming week,

Which means that a bunch of old farts

Will be creeping around the hallways

Like game of throne white walkers...

Did you hear?

The glee club is back!

...Horrifying you with their beer bellies

And their liver spots.

And that's just the class of 2012.

The sign-up sheet is right over here.

Sue: Fyi,

The much-beloved mckinley high homecoming dance

Is canceled, due to...

Uh, let's say sharia law.

Ima loser.

(gasps)

(cup clatters on floor)

(school bell ringing)

I mean, honestly, i forgot how cold those slushees are.

They chill you to the bone!

I'm so sorry that happened, rachel.

All right, guys, dinner is served.

You know what, though? It didn't really bother me.

It's like i felt good being an underdog again,

Like i was getting back to my mckinley roots.

All that from getting slusheed in the face?

Well, i guess becky did you a solid.

Well, i don't know.

Uh, wait, so you two are codirecting, then?

Yes. Not really.

Well, i guess we haven't come around to that conversation yet.

We're just focusing on recruiting right now, so...

Oh, uh... (doorbell rings)

Oh. Oh, guess that's blaine.

(door opens) will: Oh, hey, buddy.

Come on in.

Blaine: Hey, everybody.

Oh, my god, you will not believe

The day that i just had.

Sorry i'm late.

What did i miss? Will: Uh, not much,

But since i have you all here,

We might as well get started.

Rachel: Mm-hmm. (clears throat)

We have some fierce show choir competition ahead of us,

And, uh, i think we should lay down some ground rules.

Yes. Uh, like no stealing each other's set lists

And no spying.

And no poaching. Mm-hmm.

And always be supportive and clap for each other,

No matter what.

I actually really, really need everyone's advice.

I have a huge dilemma.

A girl wants to join the warblers.

What's the dilemma?

You cannot be on the wrong side of history here.

I mean, you of all people should know that.

Well, i know, i just think

That tradition is important, too,

You know? Yeah, well,

Some traditions are meant to be broken.

You have to let her try out.

I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

This house is built on a foundation of lies.

The warblers

Is a house of lies!

(all arguing loudly)

Order!

Blaine: Look, look.

No decision has been made yet.

I'm just presenting the issue

For the warbler council to discuss.

Should female students be allowed to join?

(all arguing loudly)

You know, okay.

What's next, huh?

Cat and dog warblers?

I mean, the very question

Is risible.

How about a student who's a skunk?

Should it be allowed to become a warbler?

We can't have a girl warbler.

Imagine the sexual tension.

We would never get anything done.

But, uh, aren't most of you guys gay?

How dare you?!

(warblers exclaiming)

I have a girlfriend.

We all have girlfriends.

Really? Warblers: Yes!

(clamoring)

Order. Order.

Warblers, as coach, i am a non-voting member

Of this body, and once a vote is cast,

I will respect the council's decision.

But let's be on the right side of history here.

Dr. King-- he said that the arc of the moral universe

Bends toward justice, and...

Isn't justice all about

Equal rights and equal opportunity

And inclusion? I mean...

What about squirrels?

(laughing): I mean,

Should squirrels be allowed to join the warblers?

Th-the very premise of your argument

Is laughable.

Warbler: So is yours!

(all arguing loudly)

Order! Order.

Thank you, gentlemen,

For that... High-minded debate.

As head warbler, i'd like to propose a compromise.

Why take the unprecedented step of amending

The warbler constitution when we may not even need to?

We may be allowed to refuse entry based on gender.

And we may not.

That's an open question.

But what is not in question

Is our right to refuse entry based on talent.

What i'm saying is, shouldn't we first find out

If she can even sing?

Hmm?

All those in favor?

(singing in harmony): ♪ aye. ♪

Kurt: Well, i never agreed to be your assistant.

I'm just saying, cochair seems a little more fair.

Yeah? Well, you never would have thought

To do your work-study program here at mckinley

If i wasn't here in the first place.

Okay. Well, let just hold off on the whole labels issue

Until we actually have a glee club to lead.

Fine. Where did you put

"we both reached for the g*n" from chicago?

1975 to 1980.

You organized them chronologically?

Yes.

(sighs)

Wait a minute.

What does xanadu have to do with ace of base?

I'm filing them based on emotion,

As we always should have filed them.

All right, this pile is divas strike back

And that pile is cherish yourself

And that pile right there is makeovers,

'cause we always tend to love a good makeover.

Great. Well, we just wasted the past two hours,

And now we have to start over all over again.

Okay, there is no point in organizing sheet music

If we don't have any members.

Rachel, you've got to get more proactive

If you expect this to work.

Okay, you can't just post a sign-up sheet

And-and expect people to sign up, like mr. Shue did.

Mckinley has changed.

Sue has got these kids thinking the arts don't even exist.

We have got to show them that glee is possible.

I'll be in the auditorium.

Male voice: ♪ can you hear me now, can you hear me now? ♪

♪ i'm singing out as loud as i know how ♪

♪ am i loud enough? ♪

♪ i've got my voice and you've got yours ♪

♪ so let's make a little noise ♪

♪ oh, all together now... ♪

Whoa!

I promise i am not looking at anyone or anything.

I just am looking...

Don't worry. Sorry, guys.

And...

♪ oh... ♪

♪ can you hear me now, can you hear me now? ♪

♪ i'm singing out as loud as i know how... ♪

Oh, my god, sam, you hear it, too?

Yeah, is it like a high-pitched ringing

But only in your left ear?

Because yes, i do, all the time.

I never wanted mr. Shue to know because he's like god to me,

But now that you know, i feel like i can tell you

All this stuff that i've been holding... Shh!

I hear it now.

I swear i heard it.

I know it's true.

Yeah. No, i believe you, rachel.

I mean, doctors won't, but i believe you.

(school bell ringing)

Found the god mic.

Okay, i know things got a little crazy earlier,

And we both said some things about your life

That weren't very nice, so...

Mostly me.

Wait, why are you smiling?

'cause you were right.

About me hiding in here and not being proactive.

But when you left yesterday, i had an epiphany

And i heard a voice. Y-you found a student?

Well, not exactly, but i heard him. At least i think it's a him.

Well, let's not label or judge.

The point is, is that you were right.

About everything.

They're out there.

They're here right now in mckinley, hiding in plain sight.

They just need something huge to draw them out,

To show them what they could be.

Uh-huh.

So i got on the phone.

With who?

With everyone!

Mercedes: Surprise!

(giggles)

Yay!

(laughs) let's go say hi.

Artie: What's up?

Rachel: Hi, guys!

Puck: Welcome back. Quinn: Hey.

Hi!

(excited chatter)

Now the whole g*ng is back to reboot the glee club.

Damn it, you guys, you said you'd wait for me

To park the rental car! All: Oh...

All: Tina! Tina!

Come on! Come over here.

Let's go.

All (chanting): Tina, tina, tina,

Tina, tina, tina... Sam: Come on, tina!

...Tina, tina, tina, tina...

Yay, group hug!

Are you still a virgin?

Sam...

Hugs, everybody!

(school bell ringing)

It's so great to have you all together

In this room again.

It means so much to us that you would come

At the drop of a hat.

Artie, are you drawing me?

Nope, just your boobs. Hmm.

I'm practicing for my storyboarding class.

Okay, we need to focus.

Yeah, guys, we really got to focus here, okay?

W-we're in crisis mode, all right?

Glee club has done so much for all of us.

You know? It brought us together,

It-it gave us hope, it put us out in the world.

And it brought some of us home again.

She's talking about me.

Here's the situation.

We need you guys back-- not all the time,

We realize that you have lives in other places.

We've got to get glee club back on its feet, you know?

Especially since now some of us are the competition.

He's talking about shue and blaine.

We need you back.

Not all the time,

But if you're not here,

Then the tradition of the club we love so much will be gone.

So we're going to find kids that can bring something to it

The same way that we did,

And we will mentor them based on our strengths.

Kurt: But right now we really got

To get out there and take on the school.

You know, really rattle sue's cage.

We are going to give mckinley

A little taste of what they've been missing.

(school bell ringing)

Boy: Did you hear the joke

About the fat kid who always wears headphones?

He wears them so he doesn't have to hear

Your lame-ass fat jokes.

'cause, believe me, i've heard them all.

And this is my senior year.

It's supposed to be the best year of my life,

But instead i'm a no-name transfer from chicago,

And not one of these mckinley douche bags

Has bothered to talk to me.

Whatever.

Who needs them?

I've got my boys: Tupac, hendrix, jagger, sinatra.

Music might be my only friend,

But it's the only friend that i need.

Still...

Wouldn't k*ll me to meet some people here.

Maybe make some friends?

Some real friends.

(muffled, indistinct talking)

I'm sorry, what?

Are you thinking of trying out for the glee club?

I-i just saw the... Fantastic.

I'm rachel berry, and i'm rebooting mckinley's

Award-winning new directions! With my best friend kurt hummel.

You may have heard of us.

We're taking a break from our showbiz careers right now

Just to give back to the community.

I'm so sorry. I didn't even ask your name.

Uh, roderick. Okay, roderick,

So auditions are next week, and we're asking everyone

To prepare an up-tempo song and a ballad.

Do you have any favorites?

I... Fantastic.

Okay, so i would pick something not too obscure--

Like "corner of the sky" from pippin.

Isn't that, like, the best song ever?

And then i would pick something not too popular.

Try not to stay within, like, two minutes.

And if i were you, i would do, like, 16 to 32 bars.

Here's some sheet music for... Uh, listen, i... I'm sorry.

I-i'm really busy after school

With everything, so...

Okay, are you sure? Thank you.

It was nice meeting you.

Nice going, berry. You scared him off.

Jane, wait up. Wait.

The warbler council has decided

To let you come in and sing for them.

They want to see how talented you are

Before they decide to overturn

A 100-year-old males-only policy.

Let me get this straight.

I have to go in there and perform for the warblers

Just to make sure i'm good enough

To warrant them taking a closer look at their already

Sexist and discriminatory admission policies?

Yeah.

Hey, jane, jane, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Just-just listen to me.

Look, the warblers are a very old organization.

I mean, they've been around since the w*r of 1812.

When francis scott key sang "the star-spangled banner"

To an ailing president william henry harrison

On his death bed, the warblers hummed behind him.

The point that i'm trying to make

Is that sometimes change is scary,

Even when it doesn't seem all that significant,

And i'm telling you,

It would mean so much to me--

And-and it could mean so much to the warblers--

If you'd just... If you could swallow your pride,

Come in and show us what you got.

And before you do,

There is someone i want you to meet.

Jane, meet rachel berry,

The greatest performer

I have ever known.

Ms. Berry, it's so nice to actually meet you.

You're a legend.

Yeah, well, that's not the general opinion these days,

But thank you-- it's an honor to help.

I think you are in the best possible hands.

My work is done here,

And i think i should leave you two ladies alone.

All right.

Um... Can i say something?

Why are you helping me?

Oh, well, look.

We might be mortal show-choir enemies,

But i'm a woman before all of that,

And i figure you're fighting this fight for all of us girls,

So... Let's get started.

Okay.

Center stage.

(snaps fingers)

All right.

It's a packed house.

Show me your presence.

(takes deep breath)

Okay, keep your back straight.

You have to command the audience with your body language.

Keep your head up.

And make eye contact.

Even if there's a hundred people out there,

You have to make a personal connection.

You have to make each person feel

Like they have a one-on-one connection with you.

And, most important,

Your song.

Well, my family has a tradition

Of singing "up, up and away," which is bad because...

Let me see your phone.

Oh, it... Well... (chuckles)

Janelle monáe's "tightrope" has the most plays.

Oh, my god, that... She's incredible.

Well, i think you found your audition song.

Oh.

Okay.

From the top.

Kurt: Hey. I'm open.

I guess that's why i was the kicker.

Which was a transformational moment

For the school, by the way.

Yeah, marked the beginning of a great synchronicity

Between glee club and football.

Just ask any of the-the football guys

That are back for homecoming.

So, why aren't they here

Trying to recruit me?

Why'd they send you?

'cause we both like guys?

Look, i know we don't have much else in common,

But only a gay man

Knows what it's like for us out there.

I know, when you were in high school,

Being gay was how you primarily identified yourself,

But that's not my thing.

But don't you think it's everyone else's thing?

When i told people i was gay,

Only two people had a problem with it.

Coach beiste kicked them off the team.

Look, you're-you're naive if you don't think

You're standing on our shoulders.

Okay, you owe glee club.

Please. I owe modern family.

Listen, when coach beiste kicked those guys off the team,

They cornered me in the parking lot

When i was getting into my car.

Got all up in my face.

One of them ended the day with his jaw wired shut,

And the other... I don't think he ever stopped running.

I can't stand gaga, i've never seen newsies,

And i don't write archie fan fiction

Where archie and jughead are hot for each other.

Just because you and i happened to be born in the same

Ten percent of the population that would choose

Andrew garfield over emma stone

Doesn't mean we have anything else in common.

So, i'm not saying no to your glee club

Because it's gay or straight;

I'm saying no because i think it sucks.

I'm sorry, man.

(sighs)

(phone vibrates)

Ready?

(takes deep breath)

Distinguished councilmen, fellow warblers,

May i present...

Jane heyward.

Tea party patriot club has now come to order.

First order of business: Protecting mckinley's borders.

Puck: Attention!

At ease, teabaggers.

I'm airman first class noah puckerman.

But you can call me sir.

Quinn: When we went to mckinley,

We were part of conservative clubs as well,

Such as the celibacy club and the god squad.

Most of you guys are christians, right?

We're all christian.

Before i joined glee club,

I only hung out with people that were exactly like me.

And then puck got her pregnant,

And she sort of changed for the better.

Point is, nerds, you need to take the three-cornered hats

Out of your loser butts and join the new directions!

They'll take anybody. Even you.

Sir, i was brought up to respect my elders.

But don't call us losers.

The tea party patriots is mckinley's most popular club.

Oh, my god, that's horrible.

What is happening to america?!

I'll tell you what's happened.

We've grown up in the biggest economic depression

Since the 1930s.

Our mission is to fix the mess

That barack hussein obama created

Before he and the h*m*-elite

Turn this country into a muslim welfare state.

Oh, no.

Oh, hell to the no. You know what?

Don't you, you or you

Join the glee club.

'cause, you know, we don't need you ignorant, backwards,

Lily-white, gay-hating, obama-bashing clubbers anyway.

Nope.

I will be taking these.

Yeah.

And you know what?

Quinn once had sex with a latina lesbian.

Ooh.

(grunts)

Learned that in glee club.

My bad.

(laughing)

(gavel banging) order.

Order!

Order.

(school bell ringing)

The warbler council voted against you.

They saw how talented you are,

But they're a brotherhood, and they voted to keep it that way.

What am i gonna tell my dad?

You are gonna tell him that we are not giving up on you,

Because i am going straight to the dalton board of directors

And telling them that i am not interested

In coaching the warblers if you're not one of them.

So you're going to thr*aten to resign

So i can join a club where nobody wants me?

Yeah.

Yeah, because this is wrong.

This is wrong.

And sometimes, if you want to make change,

You-you got to make a little noise.

I can fix this.

I just need a little time.

Okay, just remember, sex sells.

That's true, that's how lady tubbington got

Lord tubbington caught up in a ponzi scheme.

(cheering)

You guys got some great moves.

We could really use some of that in the glee club.

Yeah, you could.

Oh, hi, artie.

Kitty, wh-where have you been?

I thought sue made all the new directions! Transfer

Out of mckinley. We need you back.

You really think i'm gonna come back

And help you and your stupid glee club

After the way you treated all of us?

The way you treated me when you went away to college?

Sue didn't make me transfer

Because she's smart enough to recognize

A star player when she sees one.

Unlike rachel berry, who never even knew any of our names.

(scoffs) i know your name, it's quinn.

(scoffs) i'm quinn.

Liar.

Listen, don't you guys want to do more

Than just get sh*t out of cannons?

Don't you want to be a star?

Oh, that is rich coming from you,

Pathetically stuffed back into your cheerios! Uniforms again.

Both: Can two people try out together?

Yes. Yep. Yeah, i don't see why not.

The three of us tried out together.

Of course the incest twins want in.

Let's go, ladies.

We have to explain to these two again

Why flowers in the attic is not a love story to aspire to.

(school bell ringing) if you really want to get blaine back,

Here's what you do.

First, promise him you're gonna burn all your clothing,

And then tell him

You're gonna start dressing like a normal person.

Then i think you should really start getting honest with him

About following your life's ambition,

Which is becoming america's top barbara bush impersonator.

That's not my life's ambition.

(laughing): That's hilarious.

Rachel: Okay, guys, progress report.

How's it going with the new recruits?

Horrible.

It ain't working.

Mercedes: It's not good, rachel.

Glee club has fallen so far at this school,

We're not gonna be able to get anyone to join.

Male voice: ♪ i'm singing out... ♪

There's the voice again.

♪ am i loud enough? ♪

♪ oh... ♪

Dudes, he's in the showers in the locker room.

They're always in the showers.

All: Shh!

♪ oh... ♪

♪ can you hear me now, can you hear me now? ♪

♪ i'm singing out as loud as i know how ♪

♪ am i loud enough? ♪

♪ o-oh... Oh... ♪

(music playing faintly over headphones)

Oh, god.

Are you guys gonna b*at me up?

'cause i just need a second to get in the fetal position...

No, no, we... We heard you singing.

Yeah, you're amazing.

Dude, you've got to audition for the glee club.

So people can make fun of me more than they already do?

Even the principal calls me white precious.

(chuckles)

Come here, you are precious.

Well, all anybody cares about in glee club is the way you sing.

Look, no one has signed up for your club yet, right?

Okay. Well, having me as your first member

Is just gonna drive kids away even more.

I have designed my entire life around people not noticing me.

Look, no one has wanted to feel more invisible

Than i have over the past couple of months.

But when i'm with these people,

They remind me of the best parts of myself.

And they would never make fun of me.

Mm, not to her face, no way.

You're the poster child for glee club.

You're why mr. Shue started the club in the first place.

It's a place where misfits can fit in.

Will you please try out?

I'm really sorry that i came on so strong.

But you can sing whatever you want.

Yeah, i guarantee you're gonna get in.

Quinn: Look at all of us.

We're all so different, and yet there's nothing

That we wouldn't do for each other.

We're all just a phone call away.

And that is because we took a chance on glee club.

And that's something that you deserve as well.

Sue: Dear journal,

I am living a nightmare.

Just when i thought

I had finally k*lled my white whale,

Vanquished the tone-deaf pansexual leviathan

That is the mckinley high glee club,

It returns...

To defile the great musical heritage of this nation

One execrable mash-up at a time.

So forlorn am i

That my pakistani doctor has informed me

That i, sue sylvester, have developed a duodenal ulcer.

(sighs loudly)

And now i've taken to drinking a mixture

Of motor oil, bloody mary mix and bat guano,

Just so i can bleed out and die.

There must be some way i can get at that glee club,

Some naive unsuspecting pawn i can bend to my will

To dismantle that glee club once and for all.

Wait a minute.

That's it.

Oh, journal, once again, you've given me reason to go on.

Sue sylvester knows who her shiny new plaything will be.

So let me get this straight, sue.

Uh, principal sylvester.

You want me to infiltrate the glee club

And be terrible on purpose

So that everybody gets demoralized and quits.

It works every time. (chuckles)

And i'll make it worth your while.

What's that?

This is a one-of-a-kind,

Custom-molded tom brady fleshlight.

Um, no, thank you.

Okay, well...

How about i hook up with my friends at pfizer

To supply me with enough antinausea pills

So i can stomach a conversation

With the lovably hideous coach beiste

And force her to make you the starting quarterback.

I'm gonna have to be really honest with you, sue.

It's, uh, principal sylvester.

First of all, i'm not for sale.

And secondly, if you want to get rid of the glee club,

You're gonna have to get better items than that.

Touché, postmodern gay.

(school bell ringing, students chattering)

(music playing faintly over headphones)

Hey, uh, can you... Can you take your headphones off?

It's distracting me.

Uh, actually, i kind of need...

No, it's fine.

It's okay. You can keep them on.

We get it.

Everyone has their own security blanket.

We just want to hear you sing.

But that was really amazing, roderick.

Thank you.

Why don't we just let him in?

Okay, you're in!

(cheering) thank you.

Loyal subjects,

Homecoming day is upon us,

And i am pleased to welcome back

One of mckinley high's most distinguished graduates,

Who will serve as grand marshal

For tonight's activities.

Becky jackson, i hand it over to you.

Becky.

Listen up, b*tches.

Tonight, becky jackson's in charge.

Rule number one: I'm bringing my taser.

I am going to drop anyone who is not dressed in school colors.

Rule number two:

No making out under the bleachers.

That's where i'm gonna make out.

Rule number three:

Every student must bring two books to burn

At the bonfire.

Rule number four...

Okay, that's enough. Give me the microphone. Give me the microphone.

Becky: The losing team will be sacrificed.

Sue: Okay, that's enough.

Let go of the microphone.

Honey, i'm gonna peel your fingers off one by one.

Give me the microphone!

Give it to me! (groans)

Oh, there she is.

Come on. You don't want to be late

For the first official glee club meeting.

You okay?

Yeah, i was just... Thinking about mr. Shue.

About how he did it.

About how he turned nothing into what we became.

As individuals and a team, as friends.

Well, we can't recreate what we had,

But we have to be open to finding something new

Or different or better. Yes.

So, why don't we just have the meeting in here?

I mean, since i am the only member.

First of all, we have to have the first meeting

In the choir room; it's tradition.

And second of all, you're not the only member.

Someone new joined yesterday. Wait, who?

(door opens)

I cannot believe you did this!

We sat down, we made rules.

No poaching.

It's not poaching.

She came to me.

I don't feel comfortable with this.

Even if they let me on the warblers,

I'll be fighting for every vocal breakout.

Yeah, you'll be fighting that fight anywhere.

Yeah, but at least here, it'll be a fair fight.

With the changes principal sylvester

Has made to the school, it's academically on par

With any private school in the state.

My parents are willing to let me transfer here

If it's what i want.

And besides, what did you expect me to do?

I mean, say no?

Jane asked me not to say anything

Until the transfer papers were through.

I just spent the last two days threatening to quit my job

In order to convince everyone to let her in,

And as soon as i did,

She tells me she's leaving to join your team?

I was humiliated.

Blaine, you have a full team and god knows how many

Other students at dalton that would k*ll to join.

Don't act all cool and loving about this, kurt.

I'm sure you're very happy

About all of this. I wouldn't be surprised

If you made this all happen after seeing you with dave.

Uh, maybe i should just go.

No, it's okay. No, stay. No, no, stay.

You're fine. You should stay and see what kind of people

Your coaches are.

This whole friendly competition thing...

It's over.

(school bell ringing)

The new and improved glee club

Has officially begun.

Introducing our first two members,

Jane and roderick.

(applause)

(deep voice): If you build it, they will come.

Well, they'd better come fast.

I mean, i'm sorry, but two people?

Santana: Shut up, tina.

There's actually four.

As per usual, my undeniable sexual magnetism

Has worked yet again.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is mason and madison

Mccarthy.

(applause)

Hey, g*ng.

We're super pumped there's a glee club again.

Now, i know what you're thinking.

They can obviously log roll and kick toss,

But can they sing?

Well, not to toot our own horns... Toot!

But we've won karaoke night

At the wapakoneta summer cheer camp

Every year since we were three. It's in our blood.

Our parents met while touring

With the inspirational, world-famous singing group,

Up with people.

Oh, no, no, no, no. I think i've made a mistake.

Rachel: No, it's okay. You're welcome.

I mean, you're gonna have to audition.

We have a very rigorous process.

I mean, not really. Sugar motta was literally tone-deaf.

Yeah, but she was hot.

I'm actually really happy.

This is the start

Of something really special.

And i know that most of you came home just for homecoming

And not for me and kurt,

But we can't tell you how grateful we are for your help.

Get over here. (laughs) let's hug.

Bring it in. Get in for this.

Come on, bring it in!

Start getting comfortable with group hugs.

(whistling)
