Chris Colfer: Kurt Hummel

Quotes 

• Kurt Hummel : [voiceover]  Three weeks to the day since his funeral and it's the first time I've had the courage to even look at the suit I wore to it. And now back to Lima for a special memorial. Mr. Shue is planning. We're all going back everyone who can. Being together is hard it makes it more real but I also need my friends right now. People keep asking me, "How are you feeling? What are you feeling?" I have no answers. Honestly, what can you say about a 19-year-old who dies? Everyone wants to talk about how he died, too, but who cares? One moment in his whole life. I care more about how he lived. And anyone who has a problem with that should remember that he was my brother. I only keep that out when I know she won't come in.

  [normal voice] 

  Kurt Hummel : Rachel? I'm going now.

  [voiceover] 

  Kurt Hummel : This isn't real. I'm not going home for this. He's going to be there. I'm going to spend my entire life missing him.

• Kurt Hummel : Look, it's the "faggy lamp" from my Marlene Dietrich basement redecoration.

  Carole Hudson-Hummel : I think he kept it in here to prove a point to Burt.

  Burt Hummel : You know, if it's okay with everyone, I think I'd like to keep that lamp.

  Carole Hudson-Hummel : No, it's not okay with me. That thing is awful.

  Burt Hummel : I need a lamp in my office at the shop.

  [pause] 

  Burt Hummel : I tore into him about this lamp. You know, I was right in principle, but you know, come on. The kid didn't a prejudiced bone in his body. I knew what he meant when he was calling it "faggy." I wasn't teaching him a lesson in tolerance, I was teaching myself one, and he was just unlucky enough to be there for it.

  Carole Hudson-Hummel : Finn knew how you felt about him, honey. He kind of liked it when you yelled at him.

  Burt Hummel : Should've hugged him more, you know? No, it was always... you know, we'd fist-bump or we'd high-five, but... I should've given him more hugs. You know, the last time I saw him, he was so bummed out about some test at school, and I just, you know, told him to get back at it. He was worth it.

  [Voice breaking] 

  Burt Hummel : It was the perfect time for a hug. But for whatever reason, I just... I gave him a pat on the back, and that's that. Now he's gone.

• Kurt Hummel : [about Finn's letterman jacket]  Oh, d-don't. Don't donate that. I want it. Seeing him come down the hallway wearing this... It was like Superman had arrived.

  [Puts it on] 

  Kurt Hummel : God his arms were long.
