Will looks to the glee club. "Everybody loves movies. They don't just tell stories... they transport us to other worlds. They are inspirational. They provide comfort, and they help us escape from our day-to-day anxieties."
"Like getting left at the altar?" Kitty comments.
"Too soon." Angie warns.
Will nods to Kitty. "Exactly. Or in your guys' case, studying for exams or... worrying about regionals. In any case, for this week's assignment, I want you to pick your favorite songs from your favorite movies."
There's cheers and applause.
Will smiles. "Okay, it's not that simple, guys. This is a group competition... boys against girls and we are doing mash-ups." He announces.
The new kids are excited.
Angie and Finn look at each other.
What mash-ups will these kids think of?

The next day is the day the boys perform their movie mash-up.
"I hope they mash-up "Batdance" with 'Howard the Duck.'" Sugar states.
"Shh." Brittany says.
The boys perform a mash-up of 'Danger Zone/Old Time Rock 'n Roll' from two Tom Cruise cinematic masterpieces: Top Gun and Risky Business.

Blaine, Artie and Joe are dressed as Maverick from Top Gun.
Sam, Jake and Ryder are dressed as Joel Goodsen from Risky Business.
The girls, Will, Angie and Finn cheer for their performance.
"Wow! Wow. Okay. That was awesome. Where'd you come up with the inspiration for that?" Finn asks.
"Well, it's our tribute to the early macho cinema of one Mr. Tom Cruise." Artie explains.
"You can't handle the truth." Joe says.
"That's actually Jack Nicholson, not Tom Cruise." Jake says to Joe quietly.
Will smiles. "Girls. You're up." He tells his female students.

Angie, Finn and Will cheer for the girls.
"Wow, come on, you guys. Let's give it up for girls..." Will cheers.
The boys clap for the girls.

"Girls rule, as usual." Sugar says the best day.
"And we should win for these sweet glasses alone." Unique states.
Will smiles. "Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for the announcement of this year's mash-off winner."
There's whooping from the other students.
"Who of course, will be starring in my senior film project... Hollywood Hootenanny, a tribute to dance on film." Artie interjects.
"And the winner is... everyone." Will announces.
"What?" Kitty asks.
"Why do you always do this?" Tina demands.
"That's insane." Ryder claims.
"This is a sham." Sugar states.
"In reality, what you're saying is, we're all losers. Why did we bother having a competition in the first place?" Blaine asks.
Artie wheels to the front of the room. "Calm down, y'all. Calm down. After exhaustive storyboarding and pre-production, I realized that I needed a lot of talented bodies to make this film great. So, choosing one winner was just simply impossible."
"That is exactly right." Will says.

Angie sees Finn is visibly distraught when they return home from glee club that afternoon.
"Babe, are you okay? You look a little pale." Angie says in concern.
Finn's practically shaking.
"Finn? Do you need to go lie down?" Angie asks, wondering what could have her husband shaking like a leaf.
Finn looks at her with big brown eyes.
"I told Mr. Shue that I kissed Emma."

The New Directions perform Kenny Loggins's 'Footloose,' the same titular song from the titular movie of the same title.
