03x05 - The First Time Season 3 / Episode 5: - The First Time

Rachel Berry: I don't understand what any of this means...
Finn Hudson: It means I suck! It means I'm gonna be stuck here forever! Recruiter's not gonna recruit me. They said I-I'd reached my ceiling.
Rachel Berry: There are other colleges...
Finn Hudson: Are there other schools for you besides NYADA? I'm not good enough! I'm not a good enough quarterback to get a scholarship, I'm not a good enough singer to get into NYADA, it's all over for me!
Rachel Berry: Stop it! Finn, look at me. Your dreams are not dead, okay? You've just grown out of them. You have to find new ones now.
Finn Hudson: I don't know how.
Rachel Berry: Then we'll figure it out together! You're special. You know how I know that? 'Cause I am gonna give you something that's no one else is ever gonna get.
Finn Hudson: You don't have to do this. The play's over, there's no point...
Rachel Berry: No, the point is that I was wrong, and stupid, and immature, and probably not for the last time lost in my ambition, and...
Finn Hudson: And now?
Rachel Berry: Now I'm just a girl, here with the boy that she loves, and wanting to remember this moment for the rest of her life.
03x01 - The Purple Piano Project Season 3 / Episode 1: - The Purple Piano Project

Rachel Berry: High school is where you learn, it's survival of the fittest. She's gonna drag the New Directions down and that's not fair for those of us who don't wanna spend our lives rotting in this insignificant town! You said that you'd do anything to get us to Nationals. She is gonna keep us from winning that elusive crown, if anything, she's gonna kill all of our chances!

Finn Hudson: It's, uh, a work date. Totally professional.
02x22 - New York Season 2 / Episode 22: - New York

Rachel Berry: Being in New York is like falling in love. Over and over again, every minute. Tonight felt like one of those awesome nights that you see in those amazing romantic comedies. All we need now is some street singers to senerade behind us to make it perfect.

02x22 - New York Season 2 / Episode 22: - New York

Rachel Berry: Where have you been?
Finn Hudson: Hiding out. Everyone hates me.
Rachel Berry: No, they don't. Ant that doesn't explain why you haven't said a word to me since we've been back.
Finn Hudson: You should be more pissed at me than anyone else! I screwed up. I'm humiliated! And we worked so hard for everything, and I was supposed to be this big shot leader holding everyone together, and... I blew it. It cost us the championship.
Rachel Berry: Look, being an artist is about expressing your true feelings in the moment, no matter what the consequences. What were your feeling in that moment?
Finn Hudson: That I loved you. And I would've done or given anything to kiss you one more time.
Rachel Berry: So you did. You know, you gave it all up for one kiss. Was it worth it?
Finn Hudson: [pauses] Yeah. What about you? Was it worth it for you?
Rachel Berry: [also pauses] Yeah. 'Cause I know in my heart we'll have another shot at Nationals. You have to know that I'm... I'm leaving, Finn. I'm going to New York and I'm never coming back.
Finn Hudson: Graduation is a year away. You got any plans 'til then? [they kiss]
Rachel Berry: Okay. Let's go!
Finn Hudson: Where are we going?
Rachel Berry: Final Glee club meeting of the year.
02x21 - Funeral Season 2 / Episode 21: - Funeral

02x18 - Born This Way Season 2 / Episode 18: - Born This Way

Rachel Berry: Why did you bring me here? Is there a sale at Claire's?
Noah 'Puck' Puckerman: I brought you here to knock some sense into you. You won't listen to me, you won't listen to Finn...
Kurt Hummel: But you will listen to Barbra Streisand. Thanks Puck, I'll take it from here. Nice effort, but only I can lead this Barbravention.
Rachel Berry: Is she here?
Kurt Hummel: No, this is the mall in Ohio.
02x17 - A Night of Neglect Season 2 / Episode 17: - A Night of Neglect

Will Schuester: We're only gonna do songs by neglected artists! [the members looks confused] Because it's a night of... neglect.

Will Schuester: Eh... Someone whose brilliance isn't always appreciated.
Rachel Berry: Oh, so you mean like me?
02x17 - A Night of Neglect Season 2 / Episode 17: - A Night of Neglect

Noah 'Puck' Puckerman: I say we blow this thing up into the arcade.
Finn Hudson: No, no! Screw that! These people paid to see us sing. What's that saying, 'the show must go all over the place', or something.
Rachel Berry: You mean 'the show must go on'.
Finn Hudson: Yeah.
02x14 - Blame It on the Alcohol Season 2 / Episode 14: - Blame It on the Alcohol

Rachel Berry: Blaine Warbler, I'm gonna... Rock. Your. World.
02x14 - Blame It on the Alcohol Season 2 / Episode 14: - Blame It on the Alcohol

Rachel Berry: Your face tastes awesome.
02x14 - Blame It on the Alcohol Season 2 / Episode 14: - Blame It on the Alcohol

Rachel Berry: Mr. Schue? First of all that vest is very cute; you are all kinds of awesome.
02x14 - Blame It on the Alcohol Season 2 / Episode 14: - Blame It on the Alcohol

Rachel Berry: [to Blaine] You're such a cutie pie with your blazer and your pants.
02x14 - Blame It on the Alcohol Season 2 / Episode 14: - Blame It on the Alcohol

Rachel Berry: Thanks for helping with the party clean up, especially since you didn't even drink.
Kurt Hummel: I was in the neighborhood.
Rachel Berry: At 10 o'clock? Are you sure you're not here just to find out how my date with Blaine went?
Kurt Hummel: Oh, that was tonight?
Rachel Berry: Look, we're friends, so I'm gonna be honest with you... the date was lovely. We saw Love Story at the Revival Theater. We even dressed up as the characters.
Kurt Hummel: [Sarcastically] That's not gay at all. Did you kiss?
Rachel Berry: No, or lips spent the evening mouthing Ali MacGraw's dialogue. Frankly, I did expect a little snog as the date drew to a close, but I guess the timing just wasn't right.
Kurt Hummel: Or the blood alcohol level.
Rachel Berry: Look, I know that you have feelings for him and I'm sure you think I'm crazy for asking him out, but Blaine is obviously conflicted and if he turns out not to be gay, well then, I guess I will have done you a favor.
Kurt Hummel: And I'm doing you a favor by telling you that Blaine is the first in a long line of conflicted men that you will date that will later turn out to be only the most flaming of homosexuals.
Rachel Berry: Blaine and I have a lot in common.
Kurt Hummel: A sentiment expressed by many a hag about many a gay. Look, I don't doubt that you and Blaine would have a jolly good time shopping at Burberry and arguing who would make the better Rum Tum Tugger. I don't dispute that, but there's something that you and Blaine will never have and that's chemistry.
Rachel Berry: Fine. Then I'm gonna prove you wrong. I'm gonna take the beer goggles off and I'm gonna kiss him sober. And if the spark is still there, then I am taking you to your bakery of choice for a piping hot slice of humble pie.
02x14 - Blame It on the Alcohol Season 2 / Episode 14: - Blame It on the Alcohol

Rachel Berry: So you said he comes this way at 3:30?
Kurt Hummel: Like clockwork for his post rehearsal medium drip.
Rachel Berry: I just can't wait to lay one on him.
Kurt Hummel: I've got a bad feeling about this Rachel. I mean, I don't mean to be so cold, but I don't want you to get hurt either. There's no victory in this for me either way.
Rachel Berry: Who cares about you buddy, I may get a new boyfriend out of this who can keep up with me vocally and in the future give me vaguely Eurasian looking children.
Kurt Hummel: There he is
Blaine Anderson: [walks in to the coffee shop]
Kurt Hummel: dreamy as ever.
Rachel Berry: Okay, wish me luck.
Rachel Berry: [Gets up and walks over to Blaine]
Blaine Anderson: Hey Rachel, what's going on?


Blaine Anderson: Huh, yep, I'm gay. 100% gay. Thank you so much for clearing that up for me Rachel. Listen, save my space in line, will ya? I gotta go to the bathroom.
Kurt Hummel: [Walks up to Rachel] That was hard wasn't it?
Rachel Berry: Are you kidding? That was amazing, I'm speechless. I just had a relationship with a guy who turned out to be gay. That is songwriting gold. Okay, I have to go compose, but thank you. Thank you!
Kurt Hummel: [Stands there watching her leave in stunned silence]
02x14 - Blame It on the Alcohol Season 2 / Episode 14: - Blame It on the Alcohol

Finn Hudson: [interrupts in the middle of Rachel's song] Eh... Hold on! Hold on. Is this song about your headband?
Rachel Berry: Yes. It's called "My Headband".
Finn Hudson: Right.
Rachel Berry: They say you should write about what you know.
Finn Hudson: Well, it's really... interesting! But it's not... emotional. Or, like... good.
Rachel Berry: It sucks.
Finn Hudson: Yeah.
02x14 - Blame It on the Alcohol Season 2 / Episode 14: - Blame It on the Alcohol

Rachel Berry: Welcome! Kurt, Blaine... Wasn't expecting you guys.

Rachel Berry: She's prettier than me.
Finn Hudson: Would you stop?... You're beautiful.
02x12 - Silly Love Songs Season 2 / Episode 12: - Silly Love Songs

Rachel Berry: Now I'm free to pursue my dreams without anything holding me back.
02x04 - Duets Season 2 / Episode 4: - Duets

Rachel Berry: I'm not really a nice person. I'm selfish. The fact is, I'm only really generous if there's something in it for me.
Finn Hudson: Yeah, but I still like you.
Rachel Berry: But you, you're so... kind, and open. Well, it's made me wanna be a better person. We have to throw the competition.
Finn Hudson: I love Breadstix.
Rachel Berry: No, if we wanna win at Nationals, then Sam has to win this contest. Okay? He has to feel like he belongs and the team has to believe in him.
Finn Hudson: Wow, Rachel... I've never seen you like this. I'm kind of impressed.
Rachel Berry: Well, like I said, you inspired me.
Finn Hudson: But technically, you're doing this because it'll help us win Nationals, which means there's something in it for you, so it doesn't really count as you doing something nice.
