- Sue Sylvester: If students wish to mourn Finn's passing, they're free to visit the memorial that I erected. I planted a tree in the exact location where I caught Finn and Quinn Fabray fondling each other's breasts.
- Will Schuester: Come on, Sue.
- Shannon Beiste: How can you even joke at a time like this?
- Sue Sylvester: Ah, take it easy post-op Michael Chiklis. I'm grieving. And I grieve by insulting those who mean the most to me. It's just a coincidence that's also what I do when I'm not grieving.
- 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.
- Carole Hudson-Hummel: I always thought that when I, uh... How do parents go on when they lose a child? You know, when I would see that stuff on the news, I'd shut it off 'cause it was just too horrible to think, but I would always think... How do they wake up every day? I mean... h-h-how do they breathe, honey?
- [gasps]
- Carole Hudson-Hummel: But you do wake up. And for just a second, you forget. And then... oh you remember. And it's like getting that call again, and again, every time. You don't get to stop waking up. You have to keep on being a parent, even though you don't get to have a child anymore.
- [breaks down; Burt and Kurt hug her]
- 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.
