Sam: Listen, I understand that you're upset about me and Quinn getting...closer when working on the duet for the assignment.
Mercedes: I'm 100% positive that Ryan Murphy's bald eagle-looking trash face is gonna ruin it and have you guys hook up or something.
Sam: Could be a possibility. How'd you know?
Mercedes: I consider myself as a psychic spy half of the time--
(Ryan Murphy runs on the set to yell at Amber Riley. Chord Overstreet stands there, blindly listening to everything he said to her.)
Ryan: That wasn't a part of the script!
Amber: Maybe not, but it's the truth.
Chord: Not to mention your continuity issues and Lea taking over the--
Lea (from backstage): Hey!
Ryan: Just do what I say or you're fired.
Amber's Thoughts: Like rumours say what you're gonna do to Dianna. Not.
(Ryan runs offstage, and Amber and Chord get back into character.)
Mercedes: Okay, what did you want to say to me?
Sam: Oh yeah, right. Listen...I really care about you, Mercedes. I've gone through a lot of crap throughout my years at William McKinley. But with you, nothing's messed up. Everything feels right.
Mercedes: It does?
Sam: Yes. Quinn is in the past now. You're my future. I really like you. I want you to be my girlfriend.
Mercedes (nervous): You know I really like you, Sam, but...Shane is still in my life--
Shane (from behind Mercedes): Just like I'm still standing behind you. (Mercedes turned towards him.) What are you doing talking to him? I planned our encontro, data for tonight.
Mercedes: We were just talking.
Shane: Oh really? It looked mais like you were longing for a kiss from each other. It's not gonna happen with me around.
Sam: I wasn't going to kiss her. I just wanted to speak with her. Is that a problem?
Shane: Well it is if you're trying to get with my girlfriend! I give her everything. You can't even provide because you're poor.
Sam: Maybe I am, but I can still show her love.
Shane: In what way? Making a ring out of paper clips or something?
Sam: No...like this.
(Sam took a few steps back and played the song link por Enrique Iglesias on his guitar.)
Sam (singing):
Would you dance, if I asked you to dance?
Would you run, and never look back?
(As she watched Sam perform, Mercedes felt captivated por his singing. Shane still stood behind her, wondering if she was going to mover in to kiss him. Mercedes cared less about what he thought, and joined in with Sam.)
Mercedes (singing):
Would you cry, if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?
Sam (singing):
Would you tremble, if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh? Oh please tell me this
(Mercedes walks up closer to Sam and gazes in his eyes.)
Mercedes (singing):
Now would you die, for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms, tonight
Sam and Mercedes (singing together):
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand por you forever
You can take my breath away
I can be your hero, I can kiss away the pain (Mercedes: I can be your hero, baby)
And I will stand por you forever (Mercedes: I will stand por you forever)
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away
An' I can be your hero
(At the end of the song, Mercedes and Sam look back at Shane. He seemed to be annoyed.)
Shane: Mercedes, great. Buddy boy, out.
Mercedes: It's official, Shane. I'm dumping you. You didn't treat him well. I don't like boys that don't treat other people right.
(Shane rolled his eyes and walked away, leaving Sam and Mercedes alone.)
Sam: So...what do you say?
Mercedes: I say yes.
Sam: I'm really glad we spend time together, Mercedes.
Mercedes: Me too.
(The two of them hold hands and walk down the hallway. Quinn can be seen standing por some lockers, eyeing them as they walked away.)
Quinn: You said it right. I can always come back later on to screw it all up.
So, what did you guys think?
