Glee: Theatricality
November 22nd 2010 21:42
When Rachel finds out that Vocal Adrenaline are planning on doing Lady Gaga, and when Tina is brought into Principal Figgins’s office and told she can’t wear anything remotely vampire Will suggests they kill two birds with one stone. They’ll help Tina find a new look, and their assignment this week? “Gaga”.
The girls plus Kurt are ecstatic and go all out with their costumes. Since Rachel’s dad’s can’t sew, she ends up having to staple a bunch of beanie babies and small stuffed animals onto her costume, depressed after finding out that Shelby, the Vocal Adrenaline coach is her mom. (She, Quinn, and Mercedes snuck in to watch a practice, and Rachel recognized her voice).
Rachel enlists the help of her mom for a better costume and they all perform an awesome rendition of “Bad Romance”. When Will sees how excited Rachel is for finding her mom, he goes and talks to Shelby, who he has a feeling isn’t quite as enthusiastic about it. He’s right. Shelby wanted her little girl back. Rachel’s all grown up, she doesn’t need her. Shelby tells Rachel that trying to contact her was a mistake, and Rachel sadly lets her go, but not after they sing a duet (“Poker Face”), and Shelby gives Rachel a gold star glass, hoping that whenever she gets sad (when Rachel was little, her dads would give her a glass of water so she came to not know if she was sad or just thirsty), she’ll take a drink out of that glass and remember her. Rachel accepts.
When Finn comes to Will asking if the boys can do something else, Will gives in. They have been doing a lot of what the girls want lately. The boys get costumed out as Kiss and sing “Shout it Out Loud”. Puck, who originally thought “Jack Daniels” (or Jackie for a girl) would be an awesome baby name, realizes it’s not, and gets his fellow Glee Club guys to help him sing a better choice: Beth.
Meanwhile, Kurt is teased mercifully for his Lady Gaga outfit, Finn is uncomfortable moving in with Kurt and his dad and having to share a room with Kurt, but comes through in the end. Will is proud of his kids for sticking up for each other and being themselves.
Tina realizes that she knows who she is, and not even Principal Figgins is going to change that. Taking a page out of this week’s assignment book, she dresses up like a vampire and corners Figgins in the hallway. “My dad?” she warns. “He’s the king of the vampires and Asian vampires are the most vicious of all the vampires.” Now he doesn’t want her dad to come into his room in the middle of the night and get him, does he? No! Figgins agrees to let her wear her regular clothes. The whole Glee Club has a great laugh at this, and order is restored.
Principal Figgins: American teens are coming down with an enormous case of Twilight fever.
~*~*~
Tina: I think he thinks vampires are real.
Will: I think you’re right.
~*~*~
Tina: I know who I am and I'm not allowed to show it. It's like Communism.
~*~*~
Brittany: A Happy Meal, no onions. Or a chicken.
~*~*~
Tina: I love wearing champagne bubbles — I get to express a whole different side of myself. Because even though I'm painfully shy and obsessed with death, I'm a really effervescent person.
~*~*~
Shelby: Theatricality isn’t about crazy outfits. It’s not enough to douse yourself in gasoline – you have to light yourselves on fire to make it work! Being theatrical doesn’t mean you have to be a nuclear explosion. It can be like a quiet storm. You just have to express what’s deep inside you. That’s what theatricality is all about
~*~*~
Shelby: Ladies, I don't wanna hear about chafing just because you're wearing metal underwear. Not my problem.
~*~*~
Puck{/b]: Wait, where’s Rachel? I only noticed that like 5 minutes have gone by without her singing something totally obnoxious.
~*~*~
[B]Brittany: You look terrible. I look awesome.
~*~*~
Finn: We live in Ohio, not New York... or some other city where people eat vegetables that aren't fried
~*~*~
Kurt: What is your problem? It's just a moist towelette!
~*~*~
Quinn: You wanna name our daughter Jack Daniels? It's a girl.
Puck: Okay, fine. Jackie Daniels.
~*~*~
Puck: While Jackie Daniels is a great name for a power boat or something, it's not great for a baby girl.
~*~*~
Rachel: When I was little and I was sad, my dads would bring me a glass of water. It got to a point where I didn't know if I was sad or thirsty.
~*~*~
Tina: So here’s what’s gonna happen. My dad? He’s the king of the vampires and Asian vampires are the most vicious of all the vampires. You’re gonna let me wear my lady goth clothes or my dad is going to fly into your bedroom and bite your face off. He’s really pissed. Is that what you want?
Principal Figgins: I don’t want that, I’m afraid.
Tina: Good. Now I’m glad we had this talk. Now I’ve got to go back to my coffin because the light is burning my eyes!
