Scene 1
(Mr Schuester stands with one foot on a stool in the auditorium, much as he did when he sang leaving on a jet plane in season 1, and starts to play his guitar)
~Our last summer by ABBA, sung by Will Schuester, Puck Pukerman, Kurt Hummel, Rachel Berry and Santana Lopez~
Will: I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the seine, laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
(Rachel walks out from the stage left wing and Mr Schue turns round, smiles and hugs her)
Rachel: We made our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass
By the eiffel tower
(Santana comes out from stage right wing and does the same)
Santana: I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh yes
(Puck comes out from stage left wing and does the same)
Puck: Those crazy years, that was the time
Of the flower-power
(Kurt does the same except from stage right wing)
Kurt: But underneath we had a fear of flying
Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying
Puck:We took the chance
Rachel, Will, Santana and Kurt: Like we were dancing our last dance
(Puck plays his guitar and they all hold hands, hugging eachother round the shoulders)
All: I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam, round the notre dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Living for the day, worries far away
Our last summer
Memories that remain
glee
(The bell rings as Mr Schue comes in, all fired up, and pulls the cap off his pen lid. Everyone's in there seats. He scribbles 'Abba' on the whiteboard and there are some 'yes!'s in the group)
Will: Abba. One of the biggest bands of their time. They were seen as a joke, entering the Eurovision song contest in 1974, but then went on to win, champions. In their time, the had nine number one uk hits and four top ten singles in the us. So, in short, Abba rock. Now I know we're all going through a rough time at the moment, but we need to start becoming ourselves again. Which is why, we're gonna spend this week singing these songs. But we need a little help, which is why it's great that four awesome singers happen to be in Lima right here, right now. I present, all the way from NYC, Santana, Rachel, Puck and Kurt!
(The four enter from the door and everyone claps and cheers. Jake gets up and hugs his brother and Puck and Sam fist bump. Tina goes and hugs Rachel, Kurt goes over to Blaine and they hug, and everyone starts to chat excitedly)
Jake: Good to have you back buddy.
Puck: (sighs) it's good to be back.
Scene 3
(Bell rings as Kitty and Unique walk out of glee club)
Unique: I am so excited for Abba week, can't wait to get those heels on, my hair up and my dancing down
Kitty: (laughs) Right, okay, gonna stop you right there. Never, say that again.
(The pair laugh)
So, what do you say you and I do a little du-
(Sugar comes up behind them, sighing melodramatically)
Kitty: (after a moment rolls her eyes and turns to face her) Can I help you?
Sugar: Actually no, but I can help YOU. As you obviously know, I have been in and out of the glee club for some few days now
Unique: (aside) more like months
Sugar: And I've decided to make my comeback. (Squeals exciedly)
Kitty: What does this have to do with us?
Sugar: Okay, this is the best part: you can be my back-ups!
Kitty: You have seriously got to be kidding me.
Unique: Worse thing is, I don't think she is
Sugar: Eek! I knew you'd do it as you're too scared to sing a solo. Don't worry, I have GREAT stage skills.
Kitty: Woah, hold the hell up. What song?
Sugar: Well, as we're all single, I think we should sing 'Take a Chance on me'
Kitty: Okay, I'm down with that.
Unique: Wait, what about Amy and Tina; they're single too.
Sugar: Yay! More back up for me!
Kitty: Oh no no no, you misunderstand. I'm not playing second best to a tone-deaf daddies little girl who has more pairs of shoes than boyfriends, if we're gonna sing with you, we do it as a group.
Sugar: (slightly hurt) uh... okay.
Unique: We'll see you at seven, bring ice cream.
(Intro to 'Money Money Money' begins to play)
Scene 4
(In the Choir room the next day)
Will: (Talking over the music) Ladies and gentleman, here to kick off Abba week, give it up for Santana Lopez!
(Everyone cheers and Santana stands in the doorway in a slightly revealing black and red cropped top and skirt)
~Money Money Money by Abba, covered by Santana Lopez with advanced choreography, especially in the chorus. A lot of the time, she is flirting with the male members of the group, which makes the gf's (Marley) give their boyfriend's dirty looks~
I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world
(Everyone cheers and Santana bows slightly, smirking)
Will: Santana, that was brilliant!
Santana: Thanks Mr Schue.
Will: So who's up next?
(Marley tentatively puts up her hand)
Okay Marley, the floor is yours.
Marley: (exhales deeply)So, this is my one of my favourite ABBA songs, and I couldn't let this week go by without getting a chance to sing it.
(She smiles at Unique who gives her a thumbs-up, then starts)
~I have a dream by ABBA, sung by Marley with the New Directions, Will, Puck, Kurt, Santana and Rachel~
(A-Capella)
Marley:I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
(Music starts)
I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
All with Marley:I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream -
Marley (A-Capella): I have a ... dream
(Everyone claps and embraces her in a hug as she laughs and the bell rings)
Scene 5
(Sue sits in her office chair, back to the door. Mr Schue enters and, instinctively, she speaks up, not turning round)
Sue: Ah, William, I've been expecting you.
Will: (Taken aback) Sue, how did you kn-
Sue: I knew you were coming from a mile away buddy, the smell of your over-priced hair gel just wafted right to me, making me almost throw up... (Spins round to face him) in my shoe.
Will: Right... well. I, um, wanted to talk to you about how you are; you seemed pretty shaken up at the funeral, you were crying.
Sue: I wasn't crying Will, I was laughing at the sheer fact that you somehow squeezed Frankentein's out of preportioned body into such a tiny casket, and chuckled to myself as I thought about how in pain he would've been if he were buried alive.
Will: Sue... Finn was cremated, his body wasn't in there.
Sue: (Awkwardly purses her lips together, forming a thin line) Oh, well that's awkward then.
Will: Well, it looks like you're okay then, no need for me to waste anymore of time.
Sue: Don't you see dear Buttchin Timberlake, you already have. I now have to spend exactly 47 minutes dis-infecting my office and everything within a ten metre radius to clear away the stench of your mediocrity, in case I catch something nasty.
(Will rolls his eyes and leaves, closing the door behind him. Sue chuckles very slightly, but sadly, then looking down at a picture of Finn which is hidden in her desk drawer. She shakes her head and closes it)
Scene 6
~The winner takes it all, sung by Kurt and Rachel. Starts on the auditorium stage where they both sit on stools~
Kurt: I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
Rachel: I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
(In the choir room, which is empty. The camera flicks between the pair of them, who are both doing the same actions)
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
Rachel: I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Kurt: Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
Rachel:The gods may throw the dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain?
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
(Walking down the empty hallway in slow motion)
Rachel:I don't wanna talk
Kurt: If it makes you feel sad
Rachel: And I understand
Kurt:You've come to shake my hand
Kurt: I apologize
Rachel: If it makes you feel bad
Kurt: Seeing me so tense
Rachel: No self-confidence
Kurt:But you see
Rachel: The winner takes it all
Kurt: The winner takes it all...
Rachel: The winner takes it
(Kurt Alone on the stage with one single spotlight, Rachel leaning against the locker)
Kurt: all.
(Everyone claps and the feedback from the sound system squeaks)
Sue: Kitty Wilde, my office. Now!
(Kitty stands up, clapping the pair as she leaves)
Scene 7
(The girls bathroom. Kitty is in a stall, crying. The door opens and Unique and Marley come in, chatting. They go quiet.)
Marley: (tentatively) Kitty?
(Kitty inhales a sharp breath)
Is that you?
(Kitty whimpers slightly)
Unique: What did Coach Sue wanna talk to you about?
(Silence)
Kitty?
Marley: I know what to do. (Whisper)Get down on your hands and knees.
Unique: Look hun, I love Kitty Kat and all, but I'm not gonna get down and grovel for her to talk. And this dress is new so..
Marley: Just do it!
Unique: Okay, okay! Wow, someone's on their monthly god.
(Unique gets down on all fours and Marley gets ready to climb on her back. She outstretches her leg)
Oh hell no! Get that foot away from me.
(Marley shakes her head and gets on Unique's back)
Marley:Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes
(She wobbles and falls off Unique's back)
there is no hope for tomorrow
(Unique lies on the floor, face pressed against the floor and staring at Kitty's shoes under the cubicle.)
How I hate to see you like... this
There is no way you can deny it
(She starts to get to her feet)
I can see that you're oh so sad,
so quiet
(They move to the cubicles on either side of Kitty's and climb on the toilet seats)
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
(Marley and Unique peer over the wall)Sing a new son-
(A complete stranger is in the toilet (Kitty left when they were standing on the loos) and the bathroom door swings shut)
Stranger: OH MY GOD YOU PERVS!
Marley: Sorry!
(They jump off the loos and quickly leave the bathroom, following Kitty who runs down the corridor)
Unique: So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Marley: Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
(It's pouring with rain. Kitty runs into her car and slams the drivers door shut. Someone taps her on the back; it's Unique)
Kitty: Oh my god, how did you get in my car?
Unique: (Matter of factly) You left the door open.
Kitty (aside): Damn.
Marley: Come on Kitty, what's wrong? We're your friends, you can tell us.
Kitty: Well, you know that I got called to Sue's office
~Flashback~
Kitty: You wanted to see me coach?
Sue: Aah Kitty, take a seat.
(She moves to one of the two chairs)
Not that one.
(Kitty rolls her eyes and sits on the other chair)
Sue: You know, when I appointed you as head cheerio at the beginning of the year, I did it because you were strong and fearless. However, since you joined glee, I feel as though you've... lost your fire. So I'm demoting you to the bottom of the pyramid, and Amanda will be taking your place.
Kitty: What?! This is bullcrap! Lost my fire? Who do you think you are?
Sue: Listen to me-
Kitty: NO! (Slams hands on desk) I'm done taking orders, I'm done. You here me? DONE! (Throws objects and Sue watches in shock. Kitty storms out and Sue stands up, calling after her)
~End of flashback~
Kitty: (sadly) She's taken everything. That bitch has taken everything from me.
Marley: Not EVERYTHING. You still have us, and that'll never change.
~Chiquitita sung by Marley and Unique, acoustic piano version~
Marley:Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Unique: Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Unique:Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Marley: Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Kitty:Try once more like I did before
Unique:Sing a new song,
All: Chiquitita
(The trio hug)
Scene 8
(The cafeteria. All the glee girls sit on one table and Marley can't help looking over at the table where Jake, Ryder and the other guys sit)
Kitty: (grabs her arm) Stop it.
Marley: (blinks a few times, looking at her, shocked) Stop what?
Unique: Come on girl, we can see that you keep looking over at Jake.
Marley: (trying to deny it over the top) Pfft, what? Pfft- okay, I know. (wining) I just can't help it. We've been together for ages and now it's really hard and-
Kitty: Look, I'm gonna give you a big serving of this is how it'z gon' b. Jake cheated on you and you don't need him in your life. He's just trouble.
(The other girls nod, except Amy)
Amy: Are you sure he cheated? He seemed pretty stubborn about it.
Kitty: 'Course he was! He wanted to be playing the victim like he used to.
Tina: We told you, he's just a womanizer.
Marley: No. We're not breaking into song in the middle of the cafeteria.
Unique: (sighs) Fine.
Kitty: I gotta go, I've got cheerios.
Tina: Look, I know it's hard, but please don't hit Amanda in the face!
Unique: Yeah, I wanna be able to film it when you do and I ain't finished so,
Kitty: Fine, have it your way. As hard as it'll be. See ya later.
(The girls wave her off and Tina and Sugar leave, chatting quietly)
Marley: (Puts her head on the table) Ugh, I'm so depressed!
Unique: Don't worry girl, we'll sort it out. How about a sleepover?
Amy: Ooh! (excited) I love sleepovers!
Unique: We'll have it at yours tonight, k amy?
Amy: (as if she's trying to cover up something) No! I mean... no, we can't. My parents have relatives round and... ugh... yeah.
Unique: (taken aback) okay... Marley, would your mum mind?
Marley: Nah, she'll be cool with it. So... seven o'clock?
Unique: Sure, (to Amy) bring ice cream.
Scene 10
Will: Right, now the girls have a song they'd like to share.
(The girls all jump up and walk to the centre of the room)
Sugar: As you know, I have been bunking glee as it's super boring when you know you're the best in the room, but, I have decided to come back as you need me to help you win regionals. (aside) I know, I'm such a team player, you can thank me later.
Kitty: ANYWAY, (frustrated) hit it
~Take a chance on me sung by the New Directions girls (Sugar, Kitty, Unique, Tina, Marley and Amy). During the performance, as well as a dance in the chorus, the girls are singing to the guys and playing up the concept of the song~
Sugar: If you change your mind,
Kitty: I'm the first in line
Unique:Honey... (spoken) I'm still free
Amy: (tentatively) Take a chance on me
Marley: If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

Tina: We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together
Sugar: Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
Marley: 'Cos you know I've got
So much that I wanna do,
Amy: when I dream I'm alone with you
All:It's magic
Unique: You want me to leave it there,
Kitty: afraid of a love affair
All: But I think you know That I can't let go
All:(A-cappella)If you change your mind,
(With music)I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
Take a chance on me!
(Everyone bursts into applause, boys mouths wide open)
Will: (laughs) Wow guys, that was really great; a contender for Nationals even! Great job!
Santana: You know what? I'd like to take this moment to congratulate Sugar for not actually making my ears bleed quite as much as they did two years ago, meaning you didn't sound like a dying pensioner who is gagged being torchered by a fat policeman. (claps mockingly) yay.
(Kitty scoffs, trying to hold back a laugh)
(The bell rings)
Will: Great job today guys
(Rachel leaves promptly, followed by Puck)
Scene 9
(The Auditorium. Rachel sits, feet dangling over the edge of the stage, staring out into the empty space. Puck walks in from the wings)
Puck: You okay? You seemed pretty bummed out in there.
Rachel: (Without turning round) It's just... weird I guess. Seeing people in exactly the place we were two years ago. We used to feel so... safe here, ya know?
(Puck nods)
But all that's gone now. All that security just burns away, and we're left to sweep the ashes.
(Pause)
You know, I thought that coming back here, staying at the school for a week, would make me feel better. But really?It's just made me feel more lost than ever.
(Intro to SOS begins)
~S.O.S sung by Puck, Rachel, Kitty, Unique, Amanda, Ryder, Sam, Brittany, Marley, Jake, Kurt and Blaine~

Scene 10
(Puck is sitting on the side of the pavement outside the school, and Jake sees him as he leaves.)
Jake: Hey.
Puck: 'ey
(There is silence as Jake sits down next to him)
Jake: I heard.
(Puck shakes his head)
Puck: I feel like such an idiot, and a traitor. I mean, I kissed Rachel. I'd done it before, and I probably would've done it again if he was still here... but he's not. I basically just pissed on a dead guys grave.
(Jake gives Puck a questioning look)
Not literally
(The pair laugh)
So... how's you and Marley goin'?
Jake: Ah... I think we've broken up.
Puck: THINK? Why?
Jake: She thinks I cheated, but I didn't and she doesn't believe me.
Puck: Did you?
Jake: No! I'd never do that. (Sighs) It's Ryder's girlfriend, and I love Marley, I really think this is going somewhere. And Kitty's gone and screwed it up.
Puck: I never liked that girl, she reminded me of loopy Quinn... but worse.
Jake: If you don't mind, I really need some help from my big brother.
Puck: Sure buddy, we'll get through this... together.
Scene 11
Kurt: I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
Santana: But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
Rachel:I'm so grateful and proud
Puck: All I want is to sing it out loud
Puck, Kurt, Rachel and Santana: So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
Rachel:For giving it to me
Tina: Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk

(As outro fades)
Tina: (on the phone) Mike... I love you.
