Kevin McHale nel ruolo di...
Artie Abrams
- Tina Cohen-Chang: I have to tell you something. I've... been faking it.
- Artie Abrams: Faking what?
- Tina Cohen-Chang: I don't have a stutter. I pretended to have one in sixth grade because I didn't want to give a speech on the Missouri Compromise. I was really shy, and it made people think I was weird, so they left me alone. And it wasn't until I joined Glee Club that I realized how much I was missing. I don't want to push people away anymore. You understand what that's like, don't you?
- Artie Abrams: No. I don't. I would never try to push people away, 'cause being in a chair kind of does that for you.
- [sadly]
- Artie Abrams: I really thought we had something really important in common.
- Tina Cohen-Chang: [he starts to roll away] Wait, Artie. I'm sorry.
- Artie Abrams: [stopping] I am, too. I'm sorry now you get to be normal and I'm gonna be stuck in this chair the rest of my life. And that's not something I can fake.
- Will Schuester: I'm very proud of you guys. Artie... why don't you bring this to Principal Figgins yourself?
- Finn Hudson: [seeing Artie's expression] What's wrong, dude?
- Artie Abrams: I really appreciate what you guys did for me, but I'm not the only kid in a wheelchair at this school. And I'm sure there will be others after I graduate. And I know how important it is for all of us to go to sectionals together, but I think I'd rather just get a ride from my dad and use this for a handicapped ramp in the auditorium.
- Will Schuester: Any objections?
- Finn Hudson: Well, it sure beats having to carry him in every day.
- Will Schuester: I don't know if you guys really understand how much harder Artie has to work to keep up.
- Artie Abrams: Preach!
