Quotes 

• [Will writes the name 'Madonna' on the white board] 

  Will Schuester : What comes to mind when you see that name?

  Rachel Berry : Genius.

  Kurt Hummel : Icon.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : Hall of fame MILF.

• Rachel Berry : I don't understand why you're doing this.

  Jesse St. James : Because when you love something, you've got to go for it. You'd never be with me completely if I was on the opposing team and I care about you more than winning another national title. So I left Vocal Adrenaline for you.

• Jesse St. James : [flashback, making out with Rachel]  We should do it.

  Rachel Berry : It?

  Jesse St. James : Totally. Haven't you ever done it before?

  Rachel Berry : No. Have you?

  Jesse St. James : [chuckles]  What do you think? It's no big deal.

  Rachel Berry : It is for a girl!

• Rachel Berry : If you're gonna criticize and mock me again about Jesse, you can can it.

  Finn Hudson : I wanted to apologize. The only reason you were even open to dating Jesse was because I was such an ass. Mr. Tough Guy and all that. I really liked you. And I could have had you, but I blew it.

  Rachel Berry : [touched]  You really liked me?

  Jesse St. James : [entering]  Okay, Finn. I know we have a big showdown coming, so let's just decide on the arena. Sing-off, the parking lot, 5:00. Be there.

  Rachel Berry : [worried]  No.

  Finn Hudson : [offering a handshake]  Welcome to New Directions. Frankly, I need you. I'm tired of carrying the male vocals all by myself.

  [he and Jesse shake hands] 

  Finn Hudson : I'll do my best to stay away from your girl.

  Jesse St. James : I appreciate that. She's a keeper.

• Finn Hudson : Look, are you still dating that Jesse kid?

  Rachel Berry : No. No. Who... who told you that?

  Finn Hudson : Look, I know things have been weird between us, but I never thought you'd lie to me.

  Rachel Berry : Look, please just don't tell anyone.

  Finn Hudson : Unbelievable.

  Rachel Berry : We may not be together the way that Jesse and I are, but we can still be friends. I... I'm asking you as my friend to trust me.

  Finn Hudson : Fine. But if this leads to something bad for all of us, don't expect any more friendship from me.

• Will Schuester : Hey, guys. I'm sorry to interrupt your little sorority, but I couldn't help overhearing. Are you really having that much boy trouble?

  Quinn Fabray : You wouldn't understand, Mr. Schue. You're a guy.

  Will Schuester : Well, then maybe you should talk to someone else about it. Like Ms. Pillsbury.

  Rachel Berry : I tried that.

  [cut to Emma's office] 

  Emma Pillsbury : [flustered]  Oh, um, that's a hot-button topic, isn't it? I mean, when to do that. This is the perfect chat to have with your mom.

  Rachel Berry : I have two gay dads.

  Emma Pillsbury : Right. Right. You, um... how about your rabbi?

  Rachel Berry : I really don't feel comfortable talking about this with Rabbi Greenberg. Aren't you a guidance counselor?

  Emma Pillsbury : [lost for words]  Uh...

  [back to the choir room] 

  Quinn Fabray : [as the dismissal bell rings]  The fact is that women still earn seventy cents to every dollar that a man does for doing the same job. That attitude starts in high school.
