Glee (TV Series)

Bad Reputation (2010)

Mark Salling: Noah 'Puck' Puckerman

Quotes 

• Rachel Berry : Do you know that when we dated, the rest of the school gave us a nickname? Puckleberry.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : That's humiliating.

  Rachel Berry : The fact is that slumming it with me actually improved your reputation. It gave you a sense of humanity.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : Wait. Do you want to date again? I was wondering why you invited me here.

  Rachel Berry : As you know, I'm taken. But I can be of some assistance. Help me with my song for Glee Club. I... I might be the last chance you have to salvage what's left of your reputation, and stay in Glee. Besides, you need a song that's going to help you express your inner pain.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : So what song do you want to do for your assignment?

  Rachel Berry : I've chosen David Geddes' fantastically terrible '70s top ten hit "Run Joey Run". It's a story song. So we get to play parts. I'm going to play the role of the tragic heroine who dies in the end, a la Nicole Kidman in "Moulin Rouge". And you can be the hunky, heroic male lead.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : Do I get to kill you?

  Rachel Berry : Actually, my dad shoots me with a shotgun.

• Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : Do you think I made that Glist? Honestly.

  Rachel Berry : Well, it does sound like something that you would do.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : God, I'm so tired of people judging me for a few mistakes I've made. I try to be a good guy. I go to school and I say "Be cool, Puck. Be nice." But by second period, I've got a fire extinguisher in my hands and I'm spraying some dweeb with it and I don't know how I got there.

  Rachel Berry : I understand. Yeah. I sit in Glee Club and I watch a couple of imperfect performances and a litany of criticisms just start building up inside of me like a volcano and I keep telling myself to hold it in and then it just comes bursting out. Granted, generally I'm right, but doesn't do much for my reputation.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : It does suck when you do that.

  Rachel Berry : So, uh, how do you think we can get people to see us differently?

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : I don't know.

  Rachel Berry : [he leans in to kiss her, but she pulls back]  I can't... I can't do this.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : You know, whoever made that Glist is going to put you at number one when they find out you cheated on that Jesse kid with me. Besides, Jesse will never fully understand what it means to be a Jew.

  Rachel Berry : [he leans in again, but she stops him]  Noah... I'm ironically turned on by your bad boy image, but I think we should just keep this professional.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : All right, I'm out. Why stay if there's no chance of us making out?

• Will Schuester : Who did it? This is serious. Principal Figgins is threatening to disband the club.

  Santana Lopez : Why are we playing this game? We all know it was Puck.

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : Back off. I didn't do squat.

  Tina Cohen-Chang : Then why is your girlfriend first on the Glist?

  Rachel Berry : And why am I last? Aside from the fact that I refused to put out for you.

  Will Schuester : Okay, enough! No one is accusing anyone of anything. Puck, seriously, did you do it?

  Noah 'Puck' Puckerman : I said no. I'm a delinquent, sure. I like setting stuff on fire and beating up people I don't know. I own that. But I'm not a liar.
