Crystal POV
In the hallway
"I'm not breaking up with you. I'm just saying, please stop supersizing cause I don't dig on fat chicks." Puck said
"We're pregnant." Quinn said
"And that's my fault?" Puck asked
"Yes!" I said
In the choir room
Mr. Schuester draws a stick figure on whiteboard with speech bubble that says, "HELLO". Mr. Schuester points at the drawing.
"Hello." Mr. Schuester said
We all look at him confused.
"Helloooo?" Mr. Schuester said
"Hello." We all mumble, while Rachel said it loudly
"What do you guys say when you answer the phone?" Mr. Schuester asked
"What up?" Mercedes said
"Who dis be?" Artie said
"No, she's dead, this is her son." Kurt said
"Okay. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, liked to say, 'ahoy, ahoy' when he answered the phone. It was Edison who decided that 'hello' was a more appropriate greeting." Mr. Schuester said
We all stare at Mr. Schuester.
"Look. I am really proud of what you guys did at sectionals. But, as most of you have realized by now, it hasn't made a bit of difference in your day-to-day at school." Mr. Schuester said
"I have a slushie-stained training bra to prove it." Rachel said
"You still wear training bras?" I asked
"Yeah... so?" Rachel said
"Fact is, we're going to have to be better, even more spectacular at regionals. It's time for some reinvention, some new, New Directions. We need a new... hello. Here's your assignment for the week: Come up with a fresh number, but it has to have 'hello' in the song title. Alright?" Mr. Schuester said
Rachel smiles broadly at Finn, who smiles nervously back. The bell rings, signaling the end of the period.
In the hallway
Quinn and I are walking down the hall when we spot Puck flirting with a cheerleader. Quinn grabs Puck's arm and pulls him away, with me walking next to them. We stop at my locker and start arguing.
Later
Finn sings "Hello, I Love You" and we all cheer for him.
"And that, fellow glee clubbers, is how we say, 'hello'." Rachel said
Mr. Schuester smiles and Rachel walks toward him.
"Mr. Schuester, I'd like to run some of my hello ideas by you." Rachel; said
Brittany and Santana share a conspiratory look before linking pinkies and walking over to Finn Quinn and I notice and give each other nervous looks.
In the choir room
Rachel is sitting by herself in the back. Finn is sitting with Brittany and Santana.
"Well, obviously Hawaiian pizza is the best because it's got ham AND pineapple on it, right?" Finn said
"Mmhmm, oh god, both, it's so good." Santana and Brittany said
"So it's better than most pizzas." Finn said
Mr. Schuester enters the room.
"Alright, guys, we gotta get moving on those 'hello' numbers. Who has got something to show us? Volunteers?" Mr. Schuester asked
Rachel raises her hand.
"Mr. Schuster, I think I've found a song that sums up my feelings perfectly." Rachel said
"Fantastic, Rachel. Show us what you got." Mr. Schuester said
Rachel walks to the front of the choir room and nods to band. She starts singing "Gives You Hell".
Rachel:
I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Now where's your picket fence, love?
And where's that shiny car?
Did it ever get you far?
You never seem so tense, love
I never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?
And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying (New Directions: Ooooh!)
Rachel with New Directions (New Directions Girls):
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well (Treats you well)
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Rachel with New Directions harmonizing:
Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well
New Directions (New Directions Girls):
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well (Treats you well)
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Rachel with New Directions (New Directions):
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell I hope it gives you hell (Hope it gives you hell)
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell (Hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song
And you sing along well you'll never tell (You'll never tell)
Then you're the fool I've just as well
Hope it gives you hell (Gives you hell)
When you hear this song
I hope that it will give you hell (Give you hell)
You can sing along
I hope that he will treat you...
Rachel:
...Well
Rachel sings to Finn, eventually we all join Rachel in dancing, except for Finn and Kurt. Mr. Schuester rolls his eyes in the background.
"Guys." Mr. Schuester said
We all ignore him.
"Guys, guys, I don't want to be a buzzkill but the assignment was 'hello'." Mr. Schuester said
"I'm sorry, I was just focusing on the FIRST syllable." Rachel said
Rachel looks back at Finn.
"You know what? I don't think you guys understand the seriousness of what we're up against. While we were busy winning our sectional, Vocal Adrenaline was busy winning theirs. They're last year's national champions. They haven't lost a competition in three years. This is the big leagues, guys. If we don't place at Regionals, Glee Club is over." Mr. Schuester said
Rachel looks remorseful.
In the auditorium
We sing the song "Hello, Goodbye".
Finn (and Rachel):
You say yes
I say no
(You say stop)
(I say go, go, go!)
(Oh no!)
Finn and Rachel with New Directions:
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello!
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello, hello!
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Finn (New Directions):
You say yes (I say yes)
I say no (But I may mean no)
Finn and Rachel (New Directions):
You say stop (I can stay)
And I say go, go, go (Till it's time to go!)
Oh no!
Finn and Rachel with New Directions (New Directions):
You say goodbye and I say hello (Hello, goodbye! Hello, goodbye!)
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello (Hello, goodbye!)
(Hello) Hello, hello (Hello) (Hello, goodbye! Hello, goodbye!) (Rachel: Hello!)
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello (Hello, goodbye!)
(Hello) Hello, hello (Hello) (Hello, goodbye! Hello, goodbye!)
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello (Oh, oh)
Finn and Rachel:
Hello (New Directions: Oh, oh)
Hello...
Rachel walks off stage immediately after the song. Finn looks after her.
