MEMORABLE QUOTES
<><><><><><><>
Emma [to Sue]: Oh my gosh, Sue, did somebody finally punch you?

Figgins [to Will]: Now I suggest you select the good looking cheerleader -- not the pregnant one -- and the quarterback for the photo because their faces are less likely to be scratched out with safety pins.

Rachel [to self]: Make fun of me all you want, but sch photographs are everything to me. They're great practice for being photographed by the paparazzi.

Terri [to Will]: Will, that food goes right from my mouth into the baby's belly.

Emma [to Will]: Ken has a lot of flaws...he has 74 flaws as of yesterday.

Finn [to Rachel]: You know I love Glee Club. I just don't know why I have to represent it.

Rachel [to photographer]: I can cry on demand. It's one of my many talents. I'm very versatile and aside from nudity and the exploitation of animals, I'll pretty much do anything to break into the business.

Rachel [to club]: Hold on to your hats and get ready to sell...some mattresses.

Mattress guy [to club]: We hear at Mattress Land don't believe that mattresses aren't just for sleeping and fornicating anymore.

Terri [to Will]: Who are we kidding Will? This marriage works because you don't feel good about yourself.

Sue [to TV audience]: All I want is just one day a year where I'm not visually assaulted by uglies and fatties. Seriously Ohio, these retinas need a day off.

Sue [to journal]: Dear Journal, I finally got Will Schuester and Glee Club out of my hair. This is a day that will live in infamy.

Sue [to Quinn]: It's like looking at a porno star in a nun's habit.

Sue[toQuinn]: You know Q, I've forgotten just how ruthless you are. You're like a young Sue Sylvester. Now get out of my office if you can manage to squeeze through the door without your water breaking all over my new carpet.

BEHIND THE BLEACHERS
<><><><><><><><><>

The latest relationship drama at McKinley High:

Rachel convinces Finn to be co-captain of the Glee Club, but facing Gleek pressure from the football team, Finn intentionally misses the photo sitting.

Will discovers Terri's fake baby bump in her dresser and learns that her pregnancy was all a hoax. Will storms out and spends the night at McKinley high on mattresses that the Glee Club earned from performing in a commercial.

Emma and Ken plan a wedding date for the same day as Sectionals. Will suspects Ken did this on purpose while Emma expresses her conviction toward marrying Ken.

Quinn demands Sue Sylvester reinstate her on the Cheerios, but along the way, she changes her mind and stands up for the Glee Club, demonstrating tremendous personal growth.

Will "takes the bullet" for the Glee Club so they may compete in Sectionals, taking responsibility for accepting the mattresses.

Emma assumes that Will is getting a divorce, which he hadn't considered before. When he questions her, she admits that she can understand Terri's motivation--he is a lot to lose. Will doesn't believe Emma would ever lie about something so personal
