KURT:
Look at her.
This class is supposed to be
Free Sing for everyone
but Rachel
hasn't stopped screeching
like a third-rate Maria Callas
since the bell rang.
Because I'm her best friend,
I can say this
Rachel's always been
a little insufferable,
but ever since she won
Winter Showcase,
her ego and behavior
are out of control.
At home she uses up
all the hot water,
leaves rings in the tub,
and don't get me started
on the hair extensions
clogging the sink.
At school
she eschews my company
and instead surrounds herself
with easily awed sycophants.
Oh, my God, Rachel.
BroadwayWorld.
com is saying
that the long-rumored revival
of Funny Girl is finally
happening this season.
You have to audition.
I couldn't.
Okay, there is only
one *** Brice,
and that is
the Ms.
Barbra Streisand.
But you're
Barbra's heir apparent.
(phone ringing)
You gonna get that?
On some level.
I always knew
this would happen
that, as Rachel's star rose,
so, too, would her prima donna-
like tendencies.
(cheering)
Yes, it's become clear to me:
This Sarah Brightman
in training
needs to be knocked down
a few pegs,
and I'm the only one
who can do it.
I can't do this,
I can't do this.
There's ten days to
the wedding, and I have
all these choices
to make by myself.
I mean, I know Will trusts me,
but I'm a Libra
I can't do this.
Well, when does he get back?
End of the week,
but it was a big success.
Will said that they got
Congress to agree to cut
federal arts funding
in schools by 35% instead of 50.
Pretty amazing.
Yeah.
So, are you guys going
on a honeymoon
or something?
Um, I'm sure we will.
Will keeps suggesting
Costa Rica, but,
I mean, us gingers can't be
that close to the equator.
Why are you asking?
I just assumed
that Mr.
Shue is going
to want his glee club back.
Well, look, I-I don't think
you need to worry
about Will kicking you
out on the street,
especially not after you did
such an extraordinary job
while he was gone.
I mean, you coached a
really inexperienced team
all the way to regionals.
I think
that's pretty impressive.
Regionals is
a different ball game.
You need these big,
brassy voices
to bully the competition
Rachel, Santana, Mercedes,
even Kurt.
Blaine can do that.
Yeah, but it's, it's about more
than just being able to sing.
It's about the attitude,
you know?
Yeah.
Those kids didn't
just want to win,
they wanted to crush
the competition.
Well, maybe you should have
a lesson that toughens 'em up.
You know, I mean,
weren't there weeks
where Will had you guys
competing against each other?
That's the perfect idea,
Miss Pillsbury, thank you.
Very welcome.
And you can be
our special celebrity
guest judge to help decide
who wins.
(bell ringing) Diva.
FINN: So, now that we're
back in the game,
we've got to come strong.
Diva Week is all about finding
your inner powerhouse.
Miss Pillsbury.
That's right.
The Online Urban Dictionary
defines a diva as
"a fierce, often temperamental
singer who comes correct.
"She is not a trick-*** ho
and she does not
sweat da haterz.
"
JAKE:
Great, so I guess the guys
are screwed this week.
Um
(clears throat)
Guys can be divas.
EMMA: That's right, we
all have inner divas.
I myself have been considered
quite a diva
at many a local restaurant
because I know what I want
and I will send a dish back.
You all might as well just quit while
you're ahead because there are only
two ways to spell Unique,
and one of them is.
D-I-V-A Diva.
M'kay? Shanté, I stay,
and it will be brought, dished
out, and served and mopped up
by the time you
even pick out a wig.
Looking at you,
clocking that sadness.
I have more diva in my little
finger than you have
in your whole angry inch, Wade-Unique.
(laughs)
Tina, you've kind of been
talking some ridiculous trash
for months, unchallenged,
and that stops now.
Use that finger, use that snap.
Listen, guys can be divas.
You guys, I'm going
to win Diva Week.
And do you know how I know
that? It's because

And that
is how I made the manager cry
at the Cheesecake Factory
by being a diva.
(bell ringing) Yay, divas.
(performing vocal exercises)
Oh, hey, you're awake.
An hour before my alarm clock.
Oh, when you're in there,
can you make me a little
tea, please, with some honey
and lemon? You know, it's
really good for my throat.
Sure, I'll just run down
to the store and get you some.
I'll take that as a no.
An incredibly rude no
that deserves an explanation.
Okay, Rachel, truth time.
You have been a nightmare
ever since the Winter Showcase.
I knew it it was only
a matter of time
before you became jealous
of all of my success.
And just when we were
getting inseparable.
Oh we became close
because you became tolerable,
but now you've got that weird
naked boyfriend and that
weird Legion of Sycophants.
Now you are like,
you're like an annoying,
self-righteous Lima Rachel
on steroids.
You know what? Let me give you
a little bit of truth, Kurt.
Okay, the only reason
why Carmen Tibideaux
even let you sing at
the Winter Showcase
was because she knew that
you and I were friends.
You might have won the showcase,
but my performance
was the one
that everyone was talking about
because I blew you away
and I can do it again.
Midnight Madness
you and me,
head-to-head.
I wouldn't do that
if I were you, babe.
Oh, why not?
'Cause I already beat you once.
Diva-Off sophomore year.
Remember?
Only because I threw it.
That high "F"
in "Defying Gravity"?
I can hit that baby
in my sleep.
I tanked the note on purpose.
Okay, why would you do that?
'Cause I didn't want to win.
I wanted to save my dad
the embarrassment
of having his son sing
a song written for a woman.
I don't believe you.
Take that back.
I can't it's truth time.
That was my first big win.
That was the foundation
that I built
all of my confidence on
for the past two years.
Aw, consider it cracked.
Get ready
for Diva-Off Part Two,
and this time
I'm not throwing anything.
Enjoy your tea.
(bell ringing)
(grunts)
(inhales)
(coughs)
Here, I put together a
little cold buster kit
for you.
Cool, uh, how did you know?
Your nose was red yesterday.
Start off with cough drops,
then two packs of vitamin C,
a cup of my homemade
Chinese chicken soup,
and finish
with my secret weapon
nighttime cold medicine.
Aw, thank you.
I really appreciate
this.
It's gonna
have me feeling
better in no time,
except for maybe the
nighttime cold medicine.
Why? It's amazing.
Just makes me really sleepy
and woozy, which is something
I can't afford to be right now,
not with Diva Week
in full swing.
(clears throat)
I want to be able to prove
that men can be divas, too,
which is why I'm
gonna give them
a full dose of some
Freddie Mercury
just to show how the
boys can really bring
some diva attitude.
Mr.
Anderson, you find new
ways to inspire me every day.
Aw.
(Sniffs)
Thanks, Tina.

(cheering and applause)

They say that true divas
aren't really mortal.
They're more like the Loch
Ness Monster or, or Smeagol.
EMMA:
Divas walk
Yeah and they talk and
they breathe brilliance,
so here to demonstrate
that elusive brilliance
is a very special guest diva.
Raven-Symoné.

Santana, that was simply
the greatest moment
in show business history.
But how come you didn't tell me
you were coming to town?
You know, I think that
the better question is,
why didn't you tell me
that you were dating Sam?
I had just left a comment on
my favorite Rizzoli & Isles
lesbian subtext blog
when I heard the news.
One word: Bram.
Gotta go, hon.
Oh, and before I forget,
allow me to introduce
my backup, and my girlfriend,
Elaine.
And by girlfriend,
I mean out and proud,
lipstick-loving,
AfterEllen-reading
girlfriend.
(bell rings) GLEE CLUB
MEMBERS: That was so good.
Okay, so if I'm gonna win
this Midnight Madness thing,
which I am, then I'm gonna need
to know exactly what it is.
NYADA's fight club,
but singing instead of punching.
Twice a year,
we break into a classroom
for a no-holds-barred
sing-off to the death.
Winner gets ultimate
bragging rights
for the rest of the time
that they're at NYADA,
loser gets
shamed and humiliated.
Hm.
Well, then I guess
I'm gonna have to beat Kurt.
Oh, don't worry, you will.
Hmm.
We all heard about Taylor the
Latte Boy challenging you,
and it's a joke.
MAN 2:
Like those outfits of his?
Now, everyone knows
the only reason
Hummel got in is 'cause
he's Carmen's
pet turtle-face.
And signing up for
Adam's Apples?
He might as well
wear a sign around his neck
that says, "I am pathetic",
please club me to death.
"
Okay,
Kurt earned his place here
at NYADA same as you two.
Excuse me?
It's okay, Rachel.
I've dealt with a lot worse
than *** gossip.
However I got here,
the point is, I'm here.
And me, my outfits,
and my turtle-face
aren't going anywhere.
We'll see about that
at Midnight Madness.
(school bell rings)
EMMA:
So, how did you find out?
She changed her Facebook
relationship status
to "Shacked up.
"
Mine's still
"Heartbroken.
"
I haven't been interested
in other women since
Rachel and I broke up.
Well, maybe it's time to be.
There's a great new math sub.
I know she's a little
but She's like 26.
What do what
do I have to offer
a grown woman like that?
I'm just a man-boy.
I get what it feels like
to be lonely.
I haven't really
felt like myself
since Will's been away,
and it's kind of scary.
You know, sometimes
you feel like
it's the only feeling
you're ever
gonna have in the world.
(bell rings)
And it will be,
until you get back
in the saddle.
Thanks, Miss Pillsbury.
Honestly, you're
the only person here
who can always cheer me up.
Mr.
Shue's a lucky guy.
He really is.
Oh, um, but don't just thank me.
You can pay me back by, um,
helping me pick
a centerpiece arrangement.
Sure.
Yeah?
Option number one,
or
option number two.
I'd go with the white one,
because blue
is like the color of sad,
and white
is the color of pure, like you.
That's exactly what I thought.
I'm gonna mark this
off my list.
(bell rings)
And I didn't even have to
lay out a line of cereal
for you to find me.
I thought you loved Brittany.
I mean, I can't
believe you're making
what's going on
with me and her about you.
You're naive to think
that this isn't about me.
I broke up with Brittany.
This is just her revenge.
She could have
dated anyone, boy or girl.
But no.
She chose you.
The one person she
knew would send.
Okay, you know what?
Brittany doesn't
understand revenge.
Brittany is love.
Listen up, Lipsy McChapstick.
This is going to end.
Soon as Brittany
realizes that you are
the most boring human being
on the planet,
and that your impressions suck.
And then what?
You're you're going
to date her again?
Long distance?
It didn't work, you
said it yourself.
One step at a time.
First, I'm gonna
cut off the Sam-sized tumor
on her heart,
and then we can begin
the long, slow process
of cleaning the stink
of your mediocrity off of her.
I'm not letting her go
without a fight.
What do you think
we're here for?
To fight?
I'm not hitting a girl.
Who said anything about hitting?
("Make No Mistake, She's Mine"

You can't sing like that
about somebody you don't love.
But she's with me now,
and you know that's
the best thing for her.
Just let it go.
Never.
(bell rings)
TINA:
In honor of Diva Week,
let's just cut the crap
and keep it real.
Tina Cohen-Chang
deserves better.
I got upstaged yet again
by Santana.
She doesn't even
go to school here.
Look at him.
He's like a precious.
Tiger Beat Shrinky ***
with his dark pound-puppy
eyes and his
What am I doing?
Mike would totally laugh.
I should call Mike.
No.
I shouldn't.
Divas don't call
ex-boyfriends, Tina.
Stop being afraid
of going after what you want.
Hey, Bling-bling.
Feeling better? Hey, X-Tina.
No, I am not.
It's worse.
My whole head feels like it's
a shrink-wrapped
fist of ham.
Here, I got you this.
It's VapoRub.
My nana swears by it.
Aw, thanks, lady.
(chuckles) You're so sweet.
What, what'd I say?
I don't want to be sweet.
I want to be the girl
that kicks in the door
and makes demands
and gets what she wants.
But let's be honest:
No one thinks "diva"
and pictures me.
What are you talking about?
There are tons of
badass Asian divas.
Look at Lucy Liu,
Bai Ling, B.
D.
Wong.
(sniffles) Okay, (coughs)
you're coming to my house
after school tonight,
and we're gonna find
you the right song.
We're gonna bring out your
inner diva if it kills me.
Aw, Blainey Days.
(music playing softly)
(Blaine coughs)
Have you ever been with a girl?
No.
Perfect gold star gay.
Except for that one time
where I kissed Rachel Berry.
That doesn't count.
Well, it's not that
I don't like girls.
I love them.
They're very kind
and sensitive,
and their bodies are beautiful.
Thank you.
You know,
on behalf of girls everywhere.
But loving them that way
it's not who I am.
We're young.
We still have time
to find ourselves.
Exactly.
Which is why,
Ms.
Tina Cohen-Chang,
you are about to find
your inner diva.
I took the liberty
of making you a little
playlist of some
of the classic diva songs
for you to go through,
but you should open the laptop
I don't want to give you
my germs.
Wow.
I can't believe
you went old-school diva.
Cher, Aretha, Madonna.
Do you really think
I can pull this off?
I don't even know
what I would wear.
Are you kidding me?
You would kill it.
I was thinking
that we could use
(yawning):
One of those
dresses from Sectionals.
I'm sorry,
that-that cold medicine
is really very strong.
Why don't you lie down?
Okay.
It's a good idea.
(sighs)
You know, I've been reading
a lot about divas.
Mm-hmm.
And the biggest thing is
that they're brutally honest.
And if I'm
going to be a diva, then
I have to be honest, too.
Totally.
Blaine
I'm falling in love with you.
And I realize that this
could be a tragic,
one-way thing.
But even if we end up
having just
a sexless relationship,
which many Asian girls
and gay men do
(laughs)
it'd be worth it.
So please say something here
before I die.
(laughs)
Blaine?
(snoring softly)
(snoring softly)
(sniffles)
MAN:
Right over there.
Guys, gather some chairs up.
Make a semicircle.
Oh, we have five minutes.
Welcome to Midnight Madness.
We all know the rules.
One song at a time, two singers
per song.
If you
go flat, you lose.
Now, the playing space
has been split into two.
One side per competitor.
After the song,
I will give you the signal,
and you stand
with whoever you think won.
Majority rules.
The group's decision
is final.
No appeal.
No mercy,
and only silent applause.
This is not a performance.
This is a blood sport.
First up:
Rachel Berry versus Kurt Hummel.
Now, the song
you will be competing with
is "Bring Him Home,"
from Les Miz.
You guys know it?
Mm-hmm.
Per Midnight Madness protocol,
since Kurt challenged Rachel,
he will be going first.
("Bring Him Home" begins)

Okay, make your choice.
All right.
And the winner
by the closest margin
in Midnight Madness history
is Mr.
Kurt Hummel.
(laughs)
(laughs)
(school bell rings) What is
with you Glee Club ex-pats?
Don't any of you have jobs?
You have to have some source
of income
so you can pay the
staff of scientists
who service your teleporters
that you all clearly own,
since you're constantly
showing up here.
I have a light schedule
this semester.
Do you not remember
who got you that scholarship
to Louisville?
Your coach is
sending me weekly reports,
and you dropped out a month ago.
I'm sorry.
I hated it there.
Everyone thought
that I was being a ***
when all I was doing
was being brutally honest
with people.
Look,
please don't tell my mom.
Oh, I can't.
I don't speak Spanish.
Let's face facts.
I need an heir apparent,
and I need someone
as mean as I am.
Wait.
So,
are you offering me a job?
Finn Hudson took over
the Glee Club.
Why can't you take over
my Cheerios!?
Besides, you've always been
my favorite.
This is an amazing offer.
And with the money
that my mom gave me
for New York, I could buy
a McMansion in Lima Heights.
And plus,
I'd be close to Brittany.
Well, why don't you let me
know by the end of the week?
I have Paula Abdul coming in
to interview as a backup,
and whenever I cancel
too late with her,
she tends to hit the pills.
(bell ringing)
(quiet, indistinct voices,
distorted sound)
Amazing.
Tay-tay,
I was just telling Artie
how awesome I thought
Would you excuse us, please, Artie?
But, uh
Oh.
Is everything okay?
Oh, the chicken soup
you made me magic.
I feel great today!
You want to know why?
Because of me.
Because I took care of you.
Oh, and I guess
I used most of this.
I don't know how that happened,
but it's all gone.
Sorry.
Wait.
Are you mad?
Look,
I give you all
of my heart, gladly.
And I love hanging
out with you, Blaine.
I love
It's sad because you don't see
that it's me that
gives you that support.
Why are you acting
so pissed off?
Because I get it now.
A diva doesn't settle for less
than what she wants,
and she won't apologize
for wanting it.
And I can't get that here,
so next time,
don't come crawling back to me.
I'm all out of soup.
That seems a little crazy.
No.
That seems a little

Wh
Tina.
FINN:
Tina.
EMMA: Wow.
FINN: Wow.
(cheering, whooping) I just
I can't even
That was the most
Don't even worry about it.
FINN (laughs):
Okay.
Feel that fire.
I've been singing
the Les Miz score
since I was in second grade.
Literally the entire score.
It was just dumb luck that that
was the song that got chosen.
I know you feel conflicted
about winning,
but you won because
you're an incredible singer.
Oh, my God, Kurt.
Everyone is buzzing about your
triumph at Midnight Madness.
Not since Judy played the
Palace, they're saying.
A bunch of us are signing up
for the Funny Girl open call,
then getting rush tickets
to see Mamma Mia!
You have to come with.
I don't think so.
I think you both
are shallow and obnoxious.
And I think the only reason
why you run around
kissing everyone's ***
is because you know
you'll never make it
on your own.
And another thing.
If you say one more nasty thing
about Adam's Apples,
I will challenge you
to the next Midnight Madness,
and we all know how that ends.
That's very impressive.
Um, give me a second.
Hey, Rachel.
I don't know if you heard,
but apparently the revival
of Funny Girl is having
open auditions.
Do you want to go with me?
You should try out, Kurt.
You'd be an amazing
*** Brice.
(sighs)
Winning dinner for two
at Red Rooster Express Suites
FINN: The First Annual William
McKinley High School.
Diva Award goes to
If it's Santana, I swear
(drumroll)
BOTH:
Tina Cohen-Chang!
(cheering, whooping)
(excited chattering)
She never wins anything.
(cheering continues)
(whooping) Tina!
Tina!
Tina!
(whooping, cheering)
(bell ringing)
(clears throat)
Uh, no diva performance
is complete without flowers.
Oh, how sweet.
Literally.
Well, no one deserved to win
this week more than you.
I've been waiting
for people to finally see
the epic diva that
is Ms.
Tina Cohen-Chang.
(chuckles softly)
I also owe you an apology.
I'm sorry if I've been
ungrateful this week.
The truth is, I wouldn't have
survived it without you.
That little
cold buster kit you made me,
it not only annihilated my cold,
but it made me realize
that you are
the most important person to me
at this school right now.
And I haven't felt this close
to anyone in a long time.
You have no idea how long I've
waited to hear you say that.
I have a proposition for you.
Will you be my date to
Mr.
Shue's wedding next week?
Yes.
(laughs) Of course.
(bell ringing)
Shiva is officially over.
You have an audition
for Funny Girl
three weeks from today.
I went down to the open call
and got us the last slots.
I'm not trying out.
Why, because I won
Midnight Madness?
Rachel, it doesn't mean anything
it just means that we're even.
You won with an Elphaba song,
I won with a Jean Valjean song.
None of which changes the fact
that Funny Girl
is your favorite musical,
and that you were born
to play *** Brice.
This is a once-in-a lifetime
opportunity.
Let's say by some crazy
extraordinary chance I get it.
Then what?
I become even more of a diva
nightmare than I already am now?
I can't handle the
pressures of stardom,
not without losing my
best friend and making
every single person hate me.
So I'm not going to try out.
You are a diva,
and you have been a nightmare,
but you're not a diva
because you've been a nightmare.
You're a diva because
you're talented and ambitious
and because no one else
in the world
can do what you, Rachel Berry,
can do.
That's what being
a diva's all about.
Being an original,
one-of-a-kind.
So hold the nightmare,
but bring the diva.
You don't need any of that.
Your work speaks for itself.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
I hate fighting with you.
Eh, a little catfight
is good for friends.
You know,
keeps the relationship fresh.
(bell ringing)
I thought we already
checked this box.
Will said the white centerpiece
arrangements we picked were fine.
Which means
he doesn't like them.
And he'd like to veto them,
but he's just being polite.
Um, "fine" doesn't mean
that he didn't like
the centerpieces.
I need things to be more
than fine.
Okay, I-I need them
to be perfect.
They have to be perfect
and I need them to be perfect.
Look, I think you're just
putting too much into this.
No, I'm not, because the last
time, with Carl, I let go.
I did that already, you know,
I said that details
wouldn't matter,
that my-my OCD
wouldn't get in the way,
that whatever would happen
would happen,
and that marriage was completely
ruined before it even began.
Maybe Carl just wasn't the right guy.
This isn't right.
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
I can't get married again.
I can't do it again
if it's not right.
Miss Pillsbury, please.
What about the color white? What
if Will hates the color white?
Then he's going
to hate my dress.
Of course he's not going
to hate your dress, okay?
What about the cake? Not
even tried the cake yet.
Okay, we make a great team.
We can figure
this out together.
Emma, stop.
Stop.
Stop.
(shuttered gasps)
(bell ringing)
I knew you'd come
around eventually.
I mean, Sam's most
redeeming quality
is that he can
bore you to sleep
and then you can use his lips
as ginormous pillows.
I'm not breaking up with Sam.
I really like him.
And he makes me feel
really smart
and think about things,
like where air comes from,
and how come in every movie
about Jesus he dies at the end.
Well, look, I'm not expecting
you to start dating me again.
I'm I'm taken.
I just want you to aim higher.
I know that
you're not dating Elaine.
She told me that you paid
her with scratcher tickets
and an Ani DiFranco T-shirt to
pretend to be your girlfriend.
And I also know that you
dropped out of school.
Well, I'm moving on up.
Sue offered me a job to train
to take over the Cheerios
after she dies.
You can't do that.
Why? I mean, it's not like
I'd have to wait that long.
I'm totally going to ricin her
protein shakes
in a couple years.
I think you need to be somewhere
that's as big
and as hot as you are.
It's okay to follow
your dreams.
No, Brittany, you
you have no idea
what it's like out there
in the real world.
No one gives a damn about you.
Rachel found a new guy.
And I hear Kurt did, too.
Why shouldn't you get the
chance to be around people
who are like you,
who appreciate you?
Be a part of a community?
Why can't you have
a real girlfriend?
But not a best friend 'cause
that part's already taken.
You really are genius,
Brittany.
(chuckles) Duh.
And you're my best friend.
Sam and I are going
to Breadstix tonight
to pretend to be British.
Do you want to come?
No, thanks.
I think I'm going to hang around
here a minute more.
