Joe (kneeling down to her): Quinn! Are 你 okay?
Quinn (shrugs): I could be better.
Joe: What's wrong? I thought 你 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 皇后乐队 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 皇后乐队 all the time I've been here at McKinley. Kurt won last 年 because of some stupid, late April Fool's joke 或者 something. And Rachel wins this year...out of nowhere. I mean, she never ran herself.
Joe: From what I heard from Finn and Kurt, 你 two seem like really great friends. And Rachel has had it very hard lately. Don't 你 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 你 want me to 移动 your legs a little more? To help 你 with your walking?
Quinn: Yeah.
(Quinn lays on the floor with a 枕头 under her head. Joe picks up her right leg and moves it a little for her.)
Joe: 你 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 流行的 any of 你 girls were on the stage--and that Rachel won this year--
Quinn: My head's still aching.
Joe (chuckles, bends her right leg): 你 still seemed like a prom 皇后乐队 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 你 heal. But every time I'm with you...I get a little...
Quinn (smiling, somewhat suspicious): So 你 do like me?
Joe (nodding): And I would like to spend 更多 time with you, but I have to stick with my beliefs. So...I don't really know.
Quinn: I wouldn't want 你 to give up your religion.
Joe: 你 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): 你 know them?
Quinn: Not personally, but...I know those kinds of people are out there, and I don't want 你 like them. Do 你 want to know why, Joe? You're special just the way 你 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 你 when 你 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 由 Dakota Moon. Quinn grins from ear to ear as she watches Joe strum his 吉他 strings.)
Joe (singing):
Girl, you're every breath I take
Oh baby,
Your 爱情 rules every 移动 I make
Oh baby,
And I know that 你 can't read my mind
And baby, maybe I
(At this point in the song, Quinn is calmed down 由 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 爱情 你 that's for good
你 have my word
That 日 after 日 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, 你 take this 心 of mine
And make it better
I need 你 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 爱情 你 that's for good
你 have my word
That 日 after 日 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 你 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 爱情 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 粉丝 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 你 think? I hope 你 liked it.
