somethin' stupid

rocky horror glee show 2x05

THE GLEE CLUB MEETING IS ABOUT TO BEGIN, ONLY WAITING FOR OUR TEACHER TO ACTUALLY SHOW UP ON TIME FOR ONCE

"brittany, what are you going to be for halloween?" Kurt asks and I look over at the blonde who just shrugs

"I'm going as a peanut allergy" she says

"iconic" i give her a high five

Kurt then moves to me "what about you dani? what are you going to be?"

I hesitate, thinking of what i've been brainstorming for a costume "I think I'm going to be The Rock or I might be that crazy fish killer little girl from Finding Nemo"

"hm, interesting choices ladies" Kurt says, turning back to the front of the classroom

Mr. Schue finally makes his entrance with tons of scripts stacked in his hands

"great news guys" he says walking over to the whiteboard "I've had a little inspiration. this week's musical lesson isn't really a lesson. It's a musical"

I hear Rachel manifesting with her witch powers in the front row "please be Evita please be Evita"

"Rocky Horror!" Mr. Schuester says with such enthusiasm for a middle aged glee club teacher who should be fired ASAP

"never seen it" Finn says and I nod "yeah, me neither"

"mr. Schue?" Rachel raises her hand

"uh, yeah?"

"While I admire your choice of a groundbreaking 70s musical, aren't you worried the adult themes might be a point of controversy?" She says, sounding like a more annoying, nasally siri

Kurt chimes in "seriously, a school in Texas couldn't even do Rent" he says "it caused an outrage and they had to cancel the show"

Mr. Schuester defends his actions "isn't that the whole point of the arts?" he says which Brittany nods intently to "pushing boundaries? doing things people say you can't for the sake of self expression?" he continues his motivational speech "Look I figured it all out. I cut out the more risque sections and I'm sending home permission slips to all your parents to make sure they're okay with it" He's not done "and we'll charge admission to pay for transportation to Nationals in New York. Now let's talk casting"

Rachel's hand shoots right up "Finn and I'll play Brad and Janet"

Artie looks up at Mr. Schue "I'm assuming I'll be playing that dude in the wheelchair?"

"that's sort of what I had in mind" Mr. Schuester says "and I thought Kurt would play the role of Frankenfurter"

"No there's no way I'm playing a transvestite in high heels and fishnets and wearing lipstick" Kurt shakes his head frantically

Santana peers over at him "why? because that look was last season?" she sneers, earning a soft tap from me

"i'l do it" Mike chang to the rescue "really?" Tina says "it's like the male lead" he puffs out his chest a little bit "I know, I've been feeling more confident about my singing voice after the duets project"

"okay no problem" mr. schue says "Now we're a little short on female roles so we'll have to double up on Columbia's and Magenta's"

Rachel of course has to chime in "it's standard practice on Broadway" she informs the whole class "it'll preserve your voices"

"i'd like to preserve you in a jar in my basement" Mercedes whispers causing everyone to laugh

"good one, good one" I give her a low five
