Navy Blue: Finn & Rachel
"You shot yourself in the leg, Finn."
"That was four years ago, Rach. The Navy's different, I'm different."
"But it's still the military and four years and thousands of miles and you being away from me."
"And it's me finishing something that my dad started and achieving a goal I set for myself. It's me figuring out a way to provide for a future, our future, without just having to rely on you and your career. I need to know that I can do this."
"You got through college and have a teaching career. You can do anything!"
"I know that you believe in me, but for once, Rach, this isn't about you. It's about me doing something for myself. I need to do this. I need to find out who I am without Lima and my friends and my mom around all the time. I need to know that I can be on my own."
"You mean you need to know if you can do this without me."
"No, that's not what I meant. I know that I can be without you. We were apart for two years, and you landed Fanny all on your own. You grew into this amazing woman, and you've gone places that you always wanted to go. My dream was never to end up back at McKinley helping Mr. Schue. I wanted to make something of myself. I know that you don't agree with me, but I think I can do that with this."
"Finn, I want to start a life with you…"
"That's all I've ever wanted, baby, and I still believe that we'll get that. You needed to do New York. You told me once how you had this whole plan worked out. You'd do what you wanted to do here and then walk into the choir room and tell me that you're home. I waited for four years for you, Rach, and God knows that I'd wait for you forever. I just think that maybe we can wait for each other this way. I don't know if our future is in New York or Ohio or Bangalore. I just don't think it's here, not right now."
"I love you."
"I know, Rach, I love you too but…"
"It's not about that, I know. It's hard, but I am proud of you, Finn. You're going to look good in your dress blues. You have to promise you'll come home to me, alright? That's the only way any of this will be okay. Please say you'll promise."
"I promise, baby, I promise."
