Joe (kneeling down to her): Quinn! Are 당신 okay?
Quinn (shrugs): I could be better.
Joe: What's wrong? I thought 당신 were getting a little better with your walking.
Quinn (let down): It's not my walking.
(Joe rubs her shoulder in remorse. Quinn sits up on the floor, feeling down about the prom 퀸 royalty being announced.)
Joe: It's about prom queen, isn't it?
Quinn: Yeah.
Joe: It really meant that much to you?
Quinn: I never won prom 퀸 all the time I've been here at McKinley. Kurt won last 년 because of some stupid, late April Fool's joke 또는 something. And Rachel wins this year...out of nowhere. I mean, she never ran herself.
Joe: From what I heard from Finn and Kurt, 당신 two seem like really great friends. And Rachel has had it very hard lately. Don't 당신 think that she kinda deserves that glory?
Quinn (thinking it over): True...
(Joe nods. Quinn looks down at her legs.)
Quinn's Thoughts: I'm still pissed off at her, though.
Joe: Do 당신 want me to 옮기기 your legs a little more? To help 당신 with your walking?
Quinn: Yeah.
(Quinn lays on the floor with a 베개 under her head. Joe picks up her right leg and moves it a little for her.)
Joe: 당신 know, I don't know much about prom. It seemed like a popularity contest from what I heard from other students.
Quinn: Mostly for the seniors.
Joe: Honestly, Quinn...no matter how 인기 any of 당신 girls were on the stage--and that Rachel won this year--
Quinn: My head's still aching.
Joe (chuckles, bends her right leg): 당신 still seemed like a prom 퀸 in my eyes.
Quinn: Really?
Joe: Exactly.
(At that moment when Joe's moving her leg, Quinn feels something when he straightens it. She makes a startled face.)
Quinn (chuckles): Joe...are you...
Joe (confused): What?
(He then suddenly realizes that he's on Quinn's leg, and gets embarrassed.)
Joe: Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
Quinn: It's okay. I witnessed it before. It doesn't really bother me.
(There was a sudden silence as Quinn thinks about Joe.)
Quinn: So...why this then?
Joe (a little ashamed): Well...it's an issue that I've been dealing with lately. All of these physical therapy sessions, I come here to help 당신 heal. But every time I'm with you...I get a little...
Quinn (smiling, somewhat suspicious): So 당신 do like me?
Joe (nodding): And I would like to spend 더 많이 time with you, but I have to stick with my beliefs. So...I don't really know.
Quinn: I wouldn't want 당신 to give up your religion.
Joe: 당신 don't like me that way. I understand.
Quinn: No. Because it's one of the things in the world that can't be lost...and I know people out there who don't follow their religion. It gets crazy.
Joe: Really?
Quinn: Addicts, killers, prostitutes--
Joe (surprised): 당신 know them?
Quinn: Not personally, but...I know those kinds of people are out there, and I don't want 당신 like them. Do 당신 want to know why, Joe? You're special just the way 당신 are.
(They smile at each other. Joe tries to wipe his left eye.)
Quinn: What's wrong?
Joe: Nothing. It's just...I'm going to miss 당신 when 당신 leave. You, Mercedes, Sam, and every other friend I met at McKinley made a difference in my life.
(Quinn smiles at him. Joe gets up and rushes to his guitar, and starts playing the song link 의해 Dakota Moon. Quinn grins from ear to ear as she watches Joe strum his 기타 strings.)
Joe (singing):
Girl, you're every breath I take
Oh baby,
Your 사랑 rules every 옮기기 I make
Oh baby,
And I know that 당신 can't read my mind
And baby, maybe I
(At this point in the song, Quinn is calmed down 의해 Joe's voice and joins in with him.)
Joe and Quinn (singing):
Don't say it as often as I should
But I really want it to be heard
When I say I 사랑 당신 that's for good
당신 have my word
That 일 after 일 after all
I will always be true
That's a promise I make to you
(Joe continues to play the guitar, insisting on Quinn to sing a solo part. He listens as her angelic voice fills the room.)
Quinn (singing):
You, 당신 take this 심장 of mine
And make it better
I need 당신 to
Come and walk with me through this life
Forever
And I know these words are long over due
And baby, maybe I
Quinn and Joe (singing):
Don't say it as often as I should
But I really want it to be heard
When I say I 사랑 당신 that's for good
당신 have my word
That 일 after 일 after all
I will always be true
That's a promise I make to you
A promise I make to you
A promise I make to you
(When they end their song, they're looking at each other and smiling. Quinn feels encouraged.)
Quinn: Thank 당신 so much for helping me, Joe.
Joe: Not a problem at all.
(Off the set, Ryan and Ian are watching the chemistry between Dianna and Samuel's characters.)
Ian (whispering to Ryan): I 사랑 how we set this up.
Ryan (whispering back): Just wait until Dianna finds out about Quinn at the end of the season.
Ian (whispering): Won't Quinn 팬 be confused? And what about Quoe fans? And the two actors?
Ryan (whispering): Well, they just can't handle my creativity, that's all.
Ian's Thoughts: God, he's weird.
Well, what did 당신 think? I hope 당신 liked it.
