IN SUE'S OFFICE – DAY
School bell rings.
WILL opens the door.
WILL says to Sue "Hey, Sue. You want to see me?"
SUE says to Will "Hey, buddy. Come on in."
SUE, dismounting the elliptical she had been using, wipes her face with a towel.
SUE groans
Sue says to Will "I just blasted my hammies."
WILL says to Sue "Oh."
SUE laughs
Sue says to Will "Iron tablet?"
SUE tosses a bottle of pills to WILL.
WILL says to Sue "Uh..."
SUE says to Will "Keeps your strength up while you're menstruating."
WILL says to Sue "I don't menstruate."
SUE says to Will "Yeah? Neither do I. So, I had a little chat with Principle Figgins and he said that if your group doesn't place at regionals, he's cutting the program."
Sue says to Will (sarcastically) "Ouch."
WILL says to Sue "You know, you don't have to worry about Glee Club. We're gonna be fine."
SUE says to Will "Really? 'Cause I was at the local library, where I read Cheerleading Today aloud to blind geriatrics, and I came across this little page-turner."
SUE walks over to her desk and retrieves a book, displaying the cover to WILL.
SUE says to Will "Show Choir Rule Book. And it turns out, you need 12 kids to qualify for regionals. Last time I looked, you only had five and a half. Here."
SUE hands WILL the book.
SUE explaining her earlier comment
Sue says to Will "Cripple in the wheelchair. I also took the liberty of highlighting some special ed classes for you. Maybe you could find some recruits."
SUE hands WILL a slip of paper and picks up a pair of hand weights. Sue lifts them into the air repeatedly while continuing the conversation.
SUE says to Will "Cause I'm not sure there's anybody else who's gonna wanna swim over to your island of misfit toys."
WILL says to Sue "Are you threatening me, Sue?"
SUE says to Will "Threatening you? Oh, no, no, no. Presenting you with an opportunity to compromise yourself? You betcha."
SUE sets the weights down.
SUE says to Will "Let's break it down. You want to be creative. You want to be in the spotlight. Face it. You want to be me."
WILL stifles a chuckle.
SUE says to Will "So here's the deal. You do with your depressing little group of kids what I did with my wealthy, elderly mother. Euthanize it. It's time. And then I'll be happy to offer you a job as my second assistant on Cheerios. You can fetch me Gatorade and launder my soiled delicates. It'll be very rewarding work for you."
WILL says to Sue "You know what, Sue? I politely decline your offer. Glee Club is here to stay. I believe in my kids. I know you're used to be the cock of the walk around here."
SUE says to Will "Offensive."
WILL says to Sue "But it looks like your Cheerios are gonna have some competition. We're gonna show at regionals. You have my word on that."
WILL tosses the pills back to Sue and opens the door.
WILL says to Sue "Have a good day."
WILL exits. SUE smiles to herself.
