Then they mixed their sperm together and used a turkey blaster. To this day we don't know which one is my real dad, which I think is pretty amazing.
| Rachel: I know I'm only a sophomore but I hear the clock ticking away.
| Rachel: Mr. Schuester, do you have any idea how ridiculous it is to give the lead solo in "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat" to a boy in a wheelchair?
Arty: I think Mr. Shoe's using irony to enhance the performance.
Rachel: There's nothing ironic about show choir!
| Sue: Your resentment is delicious.
