The Power of Madonna (2010)

Jonathan Groff: Jesse St. James

Quotes 

• 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 : What the hell? It seems like now everybody's doing things just to hurt my feelings.

  Jesse St. James : I thought you all would take this news a little better. I'm a star. You can learn from me.

  Kurt Hummel : We were already fighting for second leads. And now that you've shown up, I've lost all hope of ever getting a solo.

• Santana Lopez : He's a spy, Mr. Schuester. I would know.

  Will Schuester : Whoa, whoa, whoa, guys. I saw all the paperwork, I spoke with his parents.

  Jesse St. James : They winter in Bali. It's a very expensive phone call.

  Will Schuester : Jesse just moved in with his uncle, which is in our school district. It's all above board, guys. He goes to this school now.

  Artie Abrams : But this isn't fair.

  Will Schuester : Guys! Everyone who's ever auditioned for this group has gotten in. That's how we do things here. Okay? To suddenly change the rules now, that would be unfair.
