"It sucks!" Quinn replies after a quick wipe that drags us all into the hallway immediately prior to the Glee Club rehearsal we'd been watching. "It's completely unoriginal!" Quinion Number One agrees. (And many thanks to D291173 for providing me with that nickname for Quinn's minions, though apparently Quinion Number One is actually named "Santana Lopez," and Quinion Number Two is, of course, "Britney.") Both Quinn and The Quinion are speaking directly into the camera, for they've cornered Rachel outside of the rehearsal room and are in fact hurling their unsolicited professional opinions directly into Rachel's face. "Aren't you guys gonna get shunned for talking to me?" Rachel asks, hiding just a tiny bit behind her books. "Sweetie," Quinn croons, a dazzling conspiratorial smile suddenly stretching from ear to ear, "we're a team now!" Rachel, for whatever reason, looks like she's buying that crap, and oh, Rachel, but we haven't time to weep over her gullibility right now, because that quick wipe...
...drags us back into present-time rehearsal, where Rachel -- obviously having been fed this solid argument by The Cheerios -- correctly points out, "We can't compete with Vocal Adrenaline with these steps. You're a great vocal coach, but you're not a trained choreographer, and that's what we need to be the best." "We need Dakota Stanley," Rachel smiles, and that quick wipe...
...smears us back into the immediate past again, where Quinn and Santana exposit that Dakota Stanley -- who "was the understudy to the candelabra in Beauty And The Beast on Broadway" -- is not only the best show choir choreographer in the Midwest, but also the legend behind Vocal Adrenaline's repeated success at Regionals, and with another frigging smear it's...
...back to the present, where Will pissily snipes that just because the guy was an understudy doesn't mean he actually understands performance, which gives crafty Quinn the opening she needs to cut him to the quick: "Did you ever perform, Mr. Schuester?" "After high school," she specifies. "Did you even try?"
