And it's like the fog has lifted and at last I see the light and it's like the sky is new and its warm and real and bright and the world has somehow shifted all at once everything is different, now that I see you.
Mike- All those days chasing down a daydream all those years living in a blur All that time never truly seeing things the way they were. Now she's here shining in the star light. Now she's here suddenly I know if she's here its crystal clear I'm where I'm meant to go.

Mike: So you move in with me,
Rachel: What, no Finn?
Mike: Finn might be moving on and out too; didn't you hear about his offer to go to Europe?
Rachel: He's taking that?
Mike: Yes he is, and when he gets back he'll be so home sick for Lilly that he wouldn't want to be away again which drives a move out of him and straight into her arms.
Rachel: Which leaves you and me to frolic in his apartment alone.
Mike: Just you and I.
Rachel smiled at the thought.
Rachel: Only if Finn accepts, I don't want to make him feel awkward, when we're around him. I love you but we have three years' worth of memories.
Mike: Of course.

Goolsby: I appreciate the coffee.
Finn: 15% off with employee discount so.
Goolsby: But this sort of new mentor relationship we are starting is not my kind of thing.
Finn: Trust me Goolsby I want to be nothing like you.
Goolsby: Harsh.
Finn: Mr. Schue isn't going to be able to listen to all my problems and Burt's busy being a congressman trying to legalize gay marriage and marijuana.
Goolsby nodded approvingly.
Finn: I need a father figure. I've gone through most of my life without one already.
Goolsby: Alright, alright, clean up your baby tears I'll be your father whatever.
Finn: I need help; I don't really know what to do.
Goolsby: I can't say.
Finn: Fathers are supposed to be helpful.
Goolsby: Even if I wanted to Finn, which I really don't. I couldn't legally. There's nothing I'm supposed to say to persuade you. Besides as a father I would imagine I'd say something like, you have to decide this on your own Finn. I can't make it for you.
Finn: I really like Lilly, I, I love her but I'm allowed to make a selfish decision. I'm allowed to get up and be myself without worrying about what anyone else thinks. For the first time in my life I'm not tied down by anyone.
Goolsby: Maybe, but ask yourself Finn, if you're ready to be selfish. Why are you questioning your decision?
Finn furrowed his eye brows and bit his lip.

Lilly: I thought Finn made up his mind.
James: Apparently not.

James took a seat: What's wrong Lilly?
Lilly: I can't trust him I love him I do but I feel him slipping away. Looking at others girls when he thinks I'm not looking at him. If he leaves James, I'll lose him, I know it.
