Glee, Season 5

Sue:
I bet you're hoping for a last-minute reprieve and then I'll say something about how you plucky band of pinhead minstrels overcame so much to get where they did & how 2nd place is actually an achievement.

Will:
I can't say I wasn't secretly hoping you would consider it.

Sue:
Well, I have considered it. More than you know. But I just can't. In the words of Ex-Principal Figgins: "My hands are tied". I'm the principal now William & my job is concerned with the health of the entire school, not just the fiefdoms that I like. And I do like you, William. That being said, the Cheerios stay because they won. So does the debate team, the football team, the girls soccer team, & mock U.N. However, diving, academic decathlon, actual decathlon, & yes, the glee club need to go.

Will:
Should I fight? Should I make a speech about the arts or how much this club means to me personally?

Sue:
Save that for your wife. It would probably turn her on. That won't make any difference here.

Will:
So this is really it. What's gonna happen to the choir room?

Sue:
It's prime real estate. They'll probably turn it into 2 classrooms. And since we won't be needing the band anymore to play everything from obscure Broadway to Queen at a moment's notice, probably sell off their equipment & buy some computers. Butt-Chinn up, Schuester. Look where you were 4 years ago when you started this thing. You've got a national championship trophy from last year in that case, & a bunch of other loser trophies standing with it. You & your team have done phenomenally well, & you did it with the world's greatest nemesis playing her best game against you. You didn't lose, William. Game's just over.
