Glee, Season 3

Rachel:
Hey! Look I need your advice, alright, about, about an adult problem.

Quinn:
Holy Crap! Are you pregnant?

Rachel:
No! Look I'm coming to you as a friend and, oddly because I also think you are the only person that will give me just a straightforward and a thoughtful answer about this.

Quinn:
You're right, I'm sorry. Yes, I can keep a secret.

Rachel:
Finn, asked me to marry him.

Quinn:
[gasps] Well, what did you say?

Rachel:
I said I needed to think about it.

Quinn:
Well, you can't.

Rachel:
Why? Plenty of people get married our age and I know he and I haven't lived together or anything but I love him and he's the one. I know it. [Quinn hands her a folded piece of paper] What's this? [opens it and reads it]

Quinn:
My ticket out of here. I got into Yale, early admissions. Turns out my essay about overcoming adversity while maintaining a straight A average during a teen pregnancy really turned on the admissions boards.

Rachel:
Quinn, that's amazing. [hugs Quinn] That's so great. [lets go] It's great.

Quinn:
I'm sure you'll get your NYADA one soon.

Rachel:
Oh. Yeah. I mean, New York mail is notoriously slow, so…

Quinn:
My point being is that I've dated Finn, Puck, Sam, even thought I loved some of them. But by the time the snow falls in New Haven next winter, I won't know why.

Rachel:
So are are you saying that Finn and I should break up?

Quinn:
I'm all for making the most of the next few months, but I'd hate the idea of dragging an anchor from my past into the bright lights of my future. Rachel, you have an amazing life ahead of you. As hard as it may be if you want what you ever dreamed of, you're gonna have to break up with him.

Rachel:
That's an awful thing to say.

Quinn:
Look, you wanted straight and thoughtful. I guess at one point it made sense to love somebody for your whole life, but it doesn't anymore. Women are finding themselves in their thirties now, every magazine says it. We hardly know what we're going to want in fifteen years.

Rachel:
But Finn and I…we can grow together.

Quinn:
Look Rachel, I…you and Finn are a lovely couple. But if you really want to be happy, you're going to have to say goodbye.
