Rachel: The classic chicken noddle.
Mike: You faced chicken for me?
Rachel: Trust me, I didn't cook this unscathed, tons of nightmares came flowing back, but I realized I would face down that chicken if it meant I could make you feel better.
Mike smiled.
Rachel: Plus I feel guilty; you were dancing with me, how long are you going to be off?
Mike: Just a few days, long enough for me to milk it out of you.
Rachel: I will attend to your every need.
Mike: Oh really,
Rachel: Every need Michael not every want.
Mike: Ooo, I love it when you call me by my first name.

Lilly: Finn, why would I leave you?
Finn: Ever since Ian, I've been really cautious about everything, and everyone around me.
Lilly: Finn, don't live like that, I am going to be right here for you.
Finn brought his hands to his face.
Finn: I'm sorry.

Scene 14
Bernard: Come on Kurt, you have to give your brother some credit here, I mean look at everything that happened to us today.
Kurt: Benny, just cause, we had bad luck today, doesn't make this day cursed. It's just a strange coincidence that's all it is.
Bernard: Coincidence, really?
Kurt: Do you know why I have no faith put in to what Finn said. Because if today was cursed I'd have nothing, but I still have you.

Bernard: Right behind you.
Scene 15

Finn: We completely underestimated today.
Mercedes: Excuse me?
Finn: There was no hiding from Friday the Thirteenth, it still got us.
Mercedes: No way, we got away totally unscarred.
Finn: I cried in front of my girlfriend and you have to spend one more day away from your "man".
Mercedes: So do we just let it hit us next time, and home and pray it's not deathly painful or embarrassing.
Finn: No way, next time we fight harder and we send it straight to hell.
Mercedes laughed: Finn, why didn't we sing together more.
Finn: I don't know, I guess my go to partner has always been Rachel.
Mercedes: Well let's make a promise to hang more, we're going to get busy, and I don't want to lose touch with my friends.
