Everything. My body, my popularity, my reputation... yeah. Everything.

But I gave the baby to Ms. Corcoran, I worked my butt off all summer to get back in shape... I'll get everything back.

Come on now. You've still gotta shape. Round's a shape. *Chuckles and puts up his hands defensively in case she gets violent.* I'm kiddin'. I'm kiddin'. Don't hurt me.

You sure that's all you want? The best thing about hittin' bottom is that you get to start over fresh. You can be whoever you want now. A whole new Quinn.

You better be kidding. I'm almost back down to Cheerio weight again.

I just... don't want to be the same person I was before. I just want back what I had. I want to be a Cheerio and I want to be in glee. I want to make captain again. And I might not ever be as popular as I was before, but that's okay too.

*Gives her a look* Of course, I'm kiddin'. You know you look great.

Just be the kinda person you want to be. The rest will come in it's own time.

Ugh. No I don't. There's no way Coach Sylvester will take me back unless I'm like, lower than Cheerio weight.

You're full of words of wisdom, aren't you?

There ain't nothin' wrong with a few well placed curves and if your coach has a problem with it you can tell her to come talk to me.

I'm a senior. Older and wiser is part of the territory.

You obviously haven't met Coach Sylvester yet.

[Laughs] Please. Older and wiser by a year!

Wait. Sylvester is your coach? *Frowns* I have met her and I take it back. The less contact with that woman the better.

A WHOLE year. 365 days of genius here, baby. Don't knock it.

Yeah. She's the Cheerios coach. [Looks a little amused] Exactly. So now you know what I mean.

I'm knocking it. Just because you took the SATs doesn't mean you're wiser. It probably just means you fried more brain cells.

That woman is a pill.

Oh it definitely means I've fried more brain cells. Just not on wine coolers. *Grins* It means I've lived a little longer. Lived through a few more things. I've never had a baby and I'm hopin' I can put off that particular blessing for a few more years but that don't mean I haven't hit some rough patches along the way.

She's like a dragon or something.

Shut up. [Laughs a little.] Yeah, I wouldn't recommend the whole teenage pregnancy thing. That might've made me even wiser than you, though, Mr. Senior.

She does kinda look like a dragon.

Maybe. Doubtful because I'm just that awesome but it's possible. *He teased*

I'm pretty sure she is a dragon, by this point.

Try having a baby and then get back to me.

I wouldn't be surprised.

*Gets a little serious* Darlin', in no way do I mean to belittle the experience you had getting pregnant then givin' up your child. I don't know that I could have done it but it's not the only experience a person could have and come away a little wiser.

*There was a story there. Something personal most likely to do with his own broken home he really doesn't want to get into a battle of who had the worst life with this girl*
