Episode Quotes
 
Sue: Gay parents encourage rebellion. There are studies on this.
 
Sue: We're gonna bring this club down!
Quinn: And I'm gonna get my boyfriend back!
Sue: I don't care so much about that.
 
Finn: I want to do glee. I'm really happy when I perform.
Quinn: People think you're gay now, Finn. And you know what that makes me? Your big, gay beard.
 
Sue: That was the most offensive thing I've seen in twenty years of teaching, and that includes an elementary school production of Hair.
 
Sue: Iron tablet, it keeps your strength up while you're menstruating.
Mr. Schuester: I don't menstruate.
Sue: Yeah, neither do I.
 
Mr. Shuester: My father always said you'd become a man when you bought your first house. I'm not sure what he meant though because he burned ours down during a drunken fight with mom.
 
Sue: I'm not sure there's anyone else who's going to swim over to your island of misfit toys.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Episode Title: Showmance

The term showmance refers to a relationship that two actors develop while working on a show together. Big Brother contestant Will claims to have coined the term after a showmance developed during his season of the reality series.
 
Sue: I'm not sure there's anyone else who's going to swim over to your island of misfit toys.

The Island of Misfit Toys is a reference to the Christmas classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
 
Sue: That was the most offensive thing I've seen in twenty years of teaching, and that includes an elementary school production of Hair.

Hair is a musical from the 1960s and 70s about hippie culture, and includes a large number of topics that would be particularly inappropriate for elementary school children, including LSD usage. It also has a substantial amount of full nudity from the cast, also rather inappropriate for young children. The various regional casts included a wide variety of performers who were or would later become of considerable note -- New York included Diane Keaton, Ben Vereen, Keith Carradine, and Meatloaf. Los Angeles included Jennifer Warnes, Ben Vereen, and Meatloaf. Joe Mantegna appeared in the Chicago version, and the West End (London) version included Melba Moore, Paul Korda, and eventual Rocky Horror Picture Show creator, Richard O'Brien, and Rocky Horror lead Tim Curry.
