Kurt: Mr. Schue, you seem to be in a crisis.
Mr. Schue: I am. Sue's trying to cut the program for the 8th time.
Mercedes: What do you mean?
(There was a sudden flashback where Mr. Schue was in Principal Figgins's office with Sue Sylvester.)
Principal Figgins: It appears that some of your Glee club members have trashed Sylvester's office and sabotaged her car once again--
Sue: Let me just say that I'm glad that none of my Cheerios trophies were broken. You wanna know why, Will? If they were, I would've slammed your oversized, butt-chin head against the side of the school, scratching at your scalp and getting all of that nasty grease out of your hair!
Mr. Schue: None of the Glee club members did this. Don't do what you did when you tried to kick me out of sectionals, Sue.
Sue: Oh, don't even remind me--
Principal Figgins: Calm down! Now, whether they did it or not, I advise you to get your Glee club members to clean everything up and pay for any damaged items.
Sue: Tell them also to squeeze the jelly out of those curly locks as well. Every time I look at you, the poodle on your head is always shining.
(Will looked at Sue, disgusted, and walked out of the principal's office. The flashback cut back to today. Will was at his desk, and four of his students were standing before him.)
Blaine: How did she make up all of that anyway?
Mr. Schue: It doesn't matter. What do you guys need?
Blaine: For me, help with memorization. You know, for that assignment we're supposed to do.
Kurt: I just wanted to be next to him.
(Silence.)
Santana: Mr. Schue...we want back in New Directions.
Kurt and Blaine: What?
Mercedes: You heard her. (She turned towards Mr. Schue.)We both do, actually.
Mr. Schue: For what reason?
Mercedes: Well first of all, the majority of the Troubletones hardly show up for practice or anything. Secondly, I want at a shot with Sam. Apparently a couple of days ago, he and Quinn were singing a duet. And...you know, I want him to know that I want to be with him.
Kurt: What about Shane?
Mercedes: He's always busy with football and video games. Plus, he doesn't care for Sam. I do.
Blaine: And Santana is here because...
Santana: A, to complain about how many acapella crap jobs from Dalton are gonna come here. And B, I want to apologize to Brittany and...let us be friends again.
Kurt (teasing): Girlfriends.
Santana: Zip it, Lady Gaga!
Mercedes: So will you take us back, Mr. Schue?
Mr. Schue: I'll handle all of it later, guys. Right now, I have other problems I have to deal with. (He took the ring box out of his desk and opened it. The shiny ring was still inside.) I want to do something for someone special.
Santana: Swap jewelry for money?
Mr. Schue: No. All I want is to just get down on one knee right in front of Emma, and tell her, "Emma, will you marry me". I really hope she accepts my request.
(Suddenly there's a voice in the doorway.)
Emma: Will, yes!
Will (surprised): Emma?!
Santana, Mercedes, Kurt, and Blaine: Miss Pillsbury?!
Santana: At least it worked better with her than the other few times he proposed. You know, like with Terri, probably.
Mercedes: Santana.
Santana: What?
Emma (to Will): I'd be happy to marry you.
Will: Oh, I love you so much.
(The two of them started to kiss, and the students made their way out of the office and into the hallway.)
Mercedes (sighing): If only I can be like that.
Santana: Me too.
Sam (standing in front of Mercedes): Can we talk for a second?
Mercedes: Sure.
Kurt (excited): How outstanding!
Sam (to Kurt): I'm gonna need some time alone with Mercedes. So why don't you take yourself and your cutsy pants out of here, please?
Kurt (mumbling to himself): To think I thought he played for our team at the beginning of the school year last year.
Blaine: You still have me.
Kurt (smiling): True.
