This week's assignment is easy.
Graduation is just a few days away.
There's nothing left to prepare for.
Our work here is done,
so there's only one thing left to do:
Say goodbye.
Underclassmen, pick some songs
to say goodbye to the seniors;
seniors, pick a song to say goodbye to us.
A part of me wants to lock these doors
and stay in here with everyone forever.
We can use the wastebasket for the toilet,
and then we could eat Joe for the food,
since she's been here the shortest,
so we know her the least.
I really hope you're about to rap.
(laughs) No such luck.
I'm leading by example here.
This one...
is for you guys.

When I first got to McKinley, I was afraid to make eye contact.
I didn't talk about my politics,
I didn't share what was in my heart
I... oh, let's just call the Cadillac pink
and be done with it.
I was in the closet.
And most days, I was also in the Dumpster.
But McKinley has made me a stronger,
more socially conscious, fashion-forward person.
And perhaps I played some small part
in making it possible for tadpole gays all over Lima
to be themselves in public.
Not a bad legacy for someone who once pretended
to be in lust with Rachel Berry
so I wouldn't have to date Mercedes Jones.
Now if can just get through the next few days
without turning into a hot mess teary train wreck.
(school bell rings)
(door opens) Ted...
why on earth did you want to meet me in here?
Oh, my God-- my NYDADA letter came, didn't it?
Not yet.
Sit down. I want to give you
your graduation present.
Is Elaine Stritch here?
I don't know who that is.
See, this is the problem with getting you gifts--
I can't make heads or tails about what it is your like.
Dad, I'm easy.
Just get me something from Tom Ford's Vanities in Vanity Fair.
Good to know.
So... somewhere around your seventh birthday,
I lost you.
Before that, you were a normal kid.
I mean, a kid who liked to dust, but...
You know, I read you to bed,
I put cartoons on TV when you were bored.
I taught you how to ride a bike...
the normal stuff.
And then you turned seven or eight,
and you start to become this.
And, uh, it was like I was living with an alien.
I mean, I tried to keep up, but, uh, you know,
once your mom passed, I... I really...
I didn't stand a chance.
You did good, Dad.
I am proud of what you and I did together.
I'm proud of us, too.
Do you remember when it started?
When we turned a corner
and started walking towards each other,
rather than in opposite directions?
Tell me.
Aw, screw that, I'm gonna show you.
It was in the basement of our old house.
You were wearing a unitard.
Oh, God, Dad, please don't do this--
Sit down and accept your present.
Hit it!

It was the best graduation gift ever.
What about those monogrammed towels I got for you?
Oh, you didn't have to get me a gift, silly.
Um... we've been putting this off for far too long,
but don't you think we should have the talk?
Can't we just have two final days of denial?
No, no, we cannot.
This is happening right now, Kurt.
It's not some far-off thing in the future.
You're graduating, I'm not.
You know how hard long-distance relationships can be.
We both saw The Notebook.
Do you want to know how I picture the end of my life?
Just like in The Notebook, I'm sitting in a nursing home,
talking endlessly about my high school sweetheart--
my first love--
going on and on about every little detail,
as if they matter.
Only, in my version, he's there with me,
telling me to shut up so he can finish watching
the American Cinematheque salute to J-Lo.
So... we're going to be all right?
Yes, we're gonna be all right.
I told you I'm never saying goodbye to you.
We'll figure out this whole long-distance relationship thing.
I promise.
Okay.
So have you decided how you're
going to say goodbye to everyone else?
(school bell rings)
I wanted to dedicate my goodbye song to all of you,
but I wanted to mostly thank the men in the room
who have truly inspired me
and never saw me for the things that made us different.
You only saw me for the ways that we're the same.
Because, in this room...
it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight...
what matters is that we're friends.

Hey.
Oh, thank goodness you guys are here.
Okay, so I called Pace and NYADA
and they sent out out acceptance letters this week.
Oh, my God, that's so exciting.
And, like, totally terrifying.
We need to make a pact.
When we get our letters,
we open them together,
in the choir room.
These letters, you know, they're, like our future
so I want to open mine
with my two most important people.
Deal? Deal.
Pinkie swear?
Yeah.
All right.

(school bell rings)
What is this crap? Oh, didn't you hear?
Mercedes got a recording contract.
She's moving to Hollywood and she's going to be
a superstar by Christmas, guaranteed.
MERCEDES: He's exaggerating.
You remember that video that
he posted of me on YouTube, singing "Disco Inferno"?
Well, this music producer in L.A. saw it
and he wants to sign her.
As a backup singer on an indie label.
I'm going to be taking extension classes at UCLA.
If this was happening to anyone else, I would be
extremely jealous.
This is really cool.
Congratulations. Thank you.
(grunts)
And I couldn't have done it without you.
Oh, did you hear about Mike?
I was all set to go to Alvin Ailey,
and then Joffrey in Chicago offered me a scholarship.
Oh, Mike, that's amazing.
Congratulations.
You must be so excited to ditch that Cheerios! uniform
and put on the one for University of Louisville.
Yeah, I... I can't wait.
SANTANA: This is embarrassing.
I'm a star, so what am I doing heading to Kentucky?
I'm just as talented as Mercedes,
Boy Chang, Berry or Lady Hummel.
Thank God for Mom.
She'll know what to do.
When Santana finally said, "Mami, papi, I'm gay,"
all I could think of was,
I should have known.
When she was eight, she went trick-or-treating
as Uncle Jesse on Full House.
Spent two years growing out that hair.
"Business in the front..."
BOTH: "Party in the back." Ew.
So, you just really didn't care?
I care that my baby's happy.
I wish abuela felt the same. I know.
It sucks, mija.
But you don't want a person in your life
that doesn't support your dreams.
I don't want to go to that cheerleading program
at the University of Louisville.
I want to go to New York.
Go to college, Santana.
Do what I never got the chance to do.
New York will still be there
after you've earned your college degree.
Brittany, I understand you got into Purdue University?
Not the university; the poultry farm.
Plucker is a steady profession.
But I can't go to either 'cause I'm not graduating.
What? Yeah.
I was kind of glad
when I found out that I was flunking
because it'll give me a chance
to do my senior year all over again.
And way better. I'll show up to my classes this time.
Plus, I'll get to be a two-term senior class president.
Why are you pretending that this is okay?
And why didn't you tell me?
What did you think was going to happen to me?
I have a 0.0 grade point average.
Well, maybe if Brittany's staying in Lima,
then I should stay, too.
And now the seniors of McKinley High School, class of 2012,
are going to sing for you.
This is your glee club. Take care of it.
It'll take care of you.
One! Two!
One, two, three, yeah!

I don't know. I mean, when you're looking at both of them,
it's really hard to not just want to go with the Chiavari.
There's $20 difference between each of those chairs.
That's, like, hundreds of dollars or something.
We can't afford that.
Look, I compromised on the food, I compromised on the location,
I compromised on the flowers.
Does my butt really have to compromise
on what it sits on?
Maybe what you're really upset about
is that you're compromising on your husband.
Please, that is the one thing
that I don't have any doubts about.
Really?
'Cause you've been kind of giving me a weird vibe lately.
No.
You're just projecting, all right?
You're nervous about finding out about school,
and you're putting it on me.
Besides, when did you become
the one that I was settling for?
Look, I don't care who gets in where, all right?
I'm marrying you, and nothing makes me happier.
Even if we have to sit in these ugly fold-out chairs.
Okay?
Okay.
+
: I remember the first day of school this year.
I had no idea what I wanted to do, who I was.
It wasn't the past I was scared of.
I'd call my high school career a total success.
I mean, not in terms of grades and stuff,
but I won a state title in football,
a national championship in Glee Club.
I never hurt anyone real bad, and it turns out I never
actually accidentally got anyone pregnant.
It was the future I was terrified of.
But not anymore.
I'm getting married to a great girl.
I'm moving to New York to chase my dreams
with her and my gay stepbrother.
And how do I know?
InsauditionActors Studio
with the main dude himself.
You're Finn Hudson, and you want to be an actor.
I was very moved
by your letter and application, Finn.
You're no doubt aware that you would be
an exceptional case, should we accept you.
Yes.
Why don't we start with your, uh,
dramatic monologue?
Okay.
Yep, fear is no longer in my vocabulary.
(school bell ringing)
Hey. Just finishing up.
Lay it on me.
"Dear Finn, great knowing you.
Will Schuester." Are you kidding me?
I'm, like, the best man at your wedding. It's not that bad.
And you can't dictate what I write in your yearbook.
Yes, I can. I want a little emotion in there.
Some "son I never had"
or "little brother" garbage or something.
Look, I-I wanted to. I...
I started ten times, and I couldn't get
two words out without falling apart.
Well, I don't need a bunch of "blah, blah" in a book
to remember you anyway.
Finn, wait.
I-I need to tell you something.
Something I would rather not have
written down anywhere.
Please, have a seat.
Um, when I first
took over the glee club, we needed a male lead.
I heard you singing in the shower in the locker room.
♪ I'm getting closer ♪
♪ Than I ever thought I might... ♪
WILL: REO Speedwagon.
Yeah, you were really good.
So I planted the pot in your locker
and blackmailed you into joining the glee club.
It was wrong.
Although I can't argue with the results,
I've always hated myself for doing it.
I'm very sorry, Finn.
But I-I wanted you to know the truth
before you left, so...
You are so much cooler than I ever thought you were.
Get out of here. I'm going to go.
(school bell ringing)
CAROLE: Your graduation gown with the extra long sleeves
just arrived.
You know, you can have that thing if you want.
It's probably the only thing that'll fit
in your tiny little New York apartment,
but it's yours to have.
I can't help thinking I let him down, you know?
I feel like I-I could have spent more time
writing that letter to the Army,
or I could have wrote 50 letters to the Army,
or I could have started one of those
letter-writing campaigns, like... like they had
for Friday Night Lights or something.
You did everything you could do.
Your dad made his choices, and the Army has rules,
and there's nothing you could have done
about either one of those things.
I can't help feeling like something's not right.
I did a lot of reseah,
trying to get that honorable discharge status,
and-and he did a lot
of really great things in Kuwait, you know?
He pulled two soldiers out of a burning truck.
He saved their lives.
They have kids now my age.
He's a hero.
And how is becoming an actor...
how is that redemption for a man who did all that?
(sighs)
Everything seems like it's fallen into place.
Everything but him.
Okay, seniors, the underclassmen
have something they'd like to say to you.
Come on.
ARTIE: With all the dedications
being thrown around McKinley this week,
there was one that we wanted to make sure didn't get missed.
Finn.
Right now, you're something I never thought possible
when I first rolled down these halls.
You're my friend-- our friend.
Even before Glee Club was kind of cool, you had our backs.
You were on the football team.
You were one of the most
popular kids in school.
You had a lot to lose,
and people forget the sacrifices you made.
We wanted to thank you.

Who would have thought
I'd end my McKinley days where I started... back on top?
I got into the school of my dreams and we won nationals.
Plus I'm feeling stronger every day.
Everyone else is so emotional.
But I don't feel that way.
I guess I've cried enough tears for three graduations.
Or maybe it's just hard
to feel weepy when I look at my friends.
They've grown into such incredible people.
Nothing's gonna stop any of them.
Well, maybe one of them.
Countries of Central America.
Uh, Costa Rica, Honduras...
Crap, I'm blanking. Come on!
This ain't beach towel night at Three Rivers.
This school has given us all so many gifts, me especially.
And I want my last week here to be about giving back
a little of what I got.
(bell ringing)
This freshman just gave me a hug
and told me to never change.
Poor thing is too young to realize
that change can be so good.
Think...
if we hadn't changed,
we would have never been friends.
Still so weird having you call me a friend.
There. What's this?
A Metro North pass from New York to New Haven.
I got one for me into New York.
Everybody keeps talking about staying in touch,
and I want to make sure that we do.
Thank you.
It's so sweet.
Although I'm still not 100% sure
that I'm for teen weddings,
I'm really happy that you and Finn are together.
You guys were meant to be.
Yeah.
Thank you.
You know, it's weird 'cause that's how
I always felt about you and Puck.
Ancient history.
But you know what I mean. When you two were together,
he was really at his best.
Indian Ocean, show me.
It's no use. My brain is like a Roach Motel,
once the info checks in, it never checks out.
I'm out of here.
Don't worry. You still get your Brownie patch
for trying to help a loser learn something.
I'm not here for a patch. I'm here because I love you.
You're my first.
I kind of screwed up that experience, huh?
No regrets.
Cool. 'Cause I always felt kind of bad about it.
Feel bad about a lot of things,
but I was an ass for most of high school.
I really care about you, Puck.
You know what? I know that after Beth was born,
we weren't really close.
But when two people go though what we've been through,
you're bonded for life.
If you ever need me, you know where to find me...
right here in Lima...
repeating my senior year forever.
I would have never given my virginity to this guy.
The Puck I fell in love with had swagger.
And you know what questions Miss Duesenberry's gonna ask you,
so you just need to get your confidence back
so you can get all that stuff out
of the Roach Motel.
And how am I supposed to do that?
Like this.
No, no, wait.
I'm not worth it.
Save it for some Yale guy
who deserves your help.
There's nobody that deserves it more.
You just have to remember
the guy you were when we first met.
You're the guy who caught the winning touchdown
the only game the football team won sophomore year.
You're the guy that ate
that shaker of pepper on a dare.
Didn't even puke.
Will you let me kiss you?
I guess I'd be kind of rude if I refused.

you got this.
♪ ♪
Funny thing about a kiss.
If it comes at the right time from the right girl,
it can be like magic.
It can bring you back to life

It can take away the doubt and the fear.

even if it's just back into what you always were:
an all-original, grade-A, badass.

Well, you stink of chlorine, Roz Washington,
which means one of two things:
either you just returned from the peroxide factory
where you spent the afternoon
having your hair helmet revarnished,
or you've given up trying to steal my Cheerios!
and you're back in the pool where you belong.
I got to hand it to you, Sue.
National championships for both the Glee Club
and the Cheerios!
That's quite an accomplishment
for a pregnant woman who's ass is so old
she went to high school with Moses.
Well, Roz, if you came here to find out once and for all
who the celebrity father of my unborn child is,
I'm afraid you're going to have to wait
for the graphic birth photos
that grace the cover of the People magazine
exclusive that hits newsstands in September.
You and I are never gonna like each other, Sue Sylvester,
but you and I, we got something in common.
We both hate the fact that this school has
an idiot for a principal.
That's why I propose we join forces and take him down.
Well, you think that over, Sue Sylvester, while you nurse your
thousand-year-old vampire baby.
You just be sure to bottle-feed it
because that baby's gonna use those sharp-ass teeth
to bite holes in those saggy old boobs.
Hey, Coach.
It's my Cheerios! uniform, dry-cleaned and pressed.
You were kind enough to let me wear it again,
and I figured it was only right to return it
in case you wanted to pass it on.
Maybe some underclassman
who's about to be the new team captain.
You keep it.
I'm retiring this uniform.
Sit.
You know, when I first laid eyes on you, Q,
I thought you reminded me of a young Sue Sylvester,
but looking at this amazing woman
sitting across from me right now,
I realize I was wrong.
You're nothing like me.
You're better.
Sure, I'm as smart as you are
and every bit as pretty,
but somehow you're slightly less evil.
And I admire that.
I admire you, Quinn Fabray.
I admire your perseverance.
You're gonna go so far, kiddo.
And I'm gonna have the best time
watching you do it.
And I'm gonna get to say,
"Hey, I remember her from way back when."
Way back when she was getting Ryan Seacrest tattoos
and lying about who the father of her unborn child was.
(sobs)
I'm gonna miss you!
(voice breaks): I don't see how that's possible,
but thank you. (chuckles)

What's going on?
Waiting for Mrs. Duesenberry
to finish grading my test.
If I don't pass, it's open season on all faculty tires!

Hi.
(chuckles)
Okay, so you have my dress and my shoes,
and I have my makeup and my epic love for you.
Let's get married. Okay.
RACHEL: My dads are still being
kind of weird about the wedding.
I brought it up last night and they were really quiet,
but it's fine.
Are you sure that we're going the right way?
We're here.
Are you joking?
'Cause it's not funny. We're gonna be late.
You're on the 4:25 to New York.
Your dads are gonna meet you there and they're gonna,
they're gonna help you look at dorms at the new school.
You're gonna spend four years of your life there
and you've never even set foot in the place, so...
But I... I have all year to go and look at it.
You're gonna go there in the fall.
All right? You're not deferring.
We're not getting married.
You don't want to marry me?
I want to marry you so badly I can't go through with it.
Yeah, but the thought of you being stuck here
for another year because of me, it makes me sick.
Then come with me. Okay?
We can get married in New York
and live in a little shoebox apartment together.
It'll be romantic.
Do you love me?
Of course I do.
Then tell me the truth and not just
something you think I want to hear.
Are you 100% sure you want to marry me?
N-No-no one is 100% sure of anything.
I am.
I am that sure you're something special.
That this is just the beginning for you.
Okay? Th-That you're gonna do amazing things.
But to get there,
you got to have these experiences on your own...
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Listen to me.
You got to have these experiences on your own. Wait a minute.
I can't have to be there with you.
Wait a minute. Are you breaking up with me?
I'm setting you free.
Oh, my God.
Look, d-do you know how hard this is for me?
How many times I've cried about this?
No, I'm not going.
I'm not going, not without you.
You don't have a choice; I can't come with you.
Well, then I'll stay here!
I'll go wherever it is that you're going!
Fort Benning, Georgia?
Look, I-I need a chance to try and redeem my father, okay?
I-I... Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, wait a minute.
You're joining the Army?
Are you insane?
(sobbing): I can't believe that this is happening right now.
It's also one of the places I knew you couldn't follow me.
Look, you're-you're gonna get on that train.
Okay?
And you're gonna go to New York,
and you're gonna be a star.
Without me.
That's how much I love you.
(sniffles)
You know what we're gonna do?
Surrender.
I know how hard that is for you
because of how hard you hold on to stuff.
But-but we're just gonna, we're gonna sit here
and we're just gonna let go.
Okay, and-and let the universe do it's thing.
And if we're meant to be together,
then we're gonna be together.
W-Whether it's in a little shoebox apartment in New York
or on the other side of the world.
Okay?
(sobbing)
Will you do that with me?
Will you surrender?
I love you so much.
I love you.
