sam: i thought so too sam: jesse... be nice, my man. everyone is trying 🤷 sam: love can make ppl soft - might need some love. sam: i mean, u can for sure. but u don't wanna be me, dude. u wanna be u, but maybe just a little softer at certain times.

jesse: maybe so, but would it kill them to try a little harder? jesse: that's really flattering, but i'm not so sure you're my type. sorry. jesse: well, obviously i want to be myself. but i think seeing it in action could help me really get the idea. similar processes are done by the greats, when researching a role. this would just be for the role of life. ...the role of a lifetime, if you will.

jesse: you don't owe me anything. i wanted this just like you did. and the idea of contacting the jimmy awards team was all you. jesse: i think, if anything, it's safe to say we make a good team. jesse: i'm honored to be your costar. your audition was inspiring, and the role of jack couldn't have gone to a more deserving person.

lizzie: be sure to make that clear. you wouldn't want to give the wrong impression. lizzie: healthy. not overdone.

jesse: do i give off the impression of a criminal? jesse: that's a hard subject to measure though, i think. it really depends on the person. some people should have bigger egos than others.

taylor: i got ya taylor: yeah well hopefully that rise will be soon. and it'll be good taylor: you deserve it

jesse: i think i might have just reached it, actually. jesse: i'm giving credit to the positive energy you've been sending my way. i think it really helped.

sam: yea. did u know the word egregious?? sam: tru ppl do say honesty is the best policy sam: but sometimes the honesty needs to come a little... softer y'know? so that ppl don't get hurt.

jesse: i did, yes. it's a good one. jesse: aptly describes the vocal range of some of our teammates, i'd say. jesse: i guess i just need to find that softer side in me. jesse: maybe i can shadow you for a day, see how you do it. you seem to be really good with people.

puck: yeah man you do so people don't like that shit puck: if you care about the team you'll figure it out or else people're gonna keep leaving puck: florida's got a couple of good baseball schools so hopefully i can get a full ride to one of those schools

jesse: clearly not. jesse: i do care. i'm not the one with issue when it comes to lack of caring about this team. how can i make everyone else care? jesse: florida? that's your goal? jesse: too sticky for me. but i could see it being a good fit for you.

sam: oh! ur probably right lol. but hunter's been helping me with that stuff so i should be getting better soon sam: is different bad? do u feel like it's bad?

jesse: with words? jesse: i don't think so. i think it's better, to be honest. jesse: but having that opinion doesn't really help in the making friends department.

jesse: a what fan? jesse: i hadn't. i wasn't even aware they were going on.

lizzie: so you are saying we should we worried that you will turn into a criminal too? lizzie: right, sure. it's good to have a healthy level of ego.

jesse: i meant the desire to feel special. not specifically the criminal element. jesse: i agree.

Rachel: Are you saying what I think you’re saying? Rachel: I’m not saying ‘no’. I just want to make sure I’m clear on what you’re saying.

jesse: that would depend on what you think i'm saying. jesse: but i would assume yes? jesse: unless we're on entirely different pages. ... jesse: can i see you? maybe this would be more easily discussed in person. jesse: i have a free period next, during your lunch block.

taylor: eleven, that's a very specific numeber taylor: oh wait, is that because we need twelve people to compete? taylor: preach. but if life was easy it would be boring

jesse: exactly. jesse: good point. i guess i'm just waiting for rise after the fall.

puck: it's the approach or whatever people say puck: you got other plans not everyone needs school to make it puck: i'm not the college type but i'm also not gonna stick around here. i already got some apps halfway filled out

jesse: and i come off abrasively, don't i? jesse: i guess i can see that. jesse: i was trying to be helpful, but maybe i just need to find a better approach in getting my points across. jesse: i'll ask mr. schuester for some advice on that. jesse: thanks. jesse: huh. good for you. i think having a goal and sticking to it is an admirable thing. jesse: where are you thinking?
