Mr. Schue: Okay, guys. Who wants to go first for their assignment?
(Rory is sitting between Artie and a Cheerio, Tammy McGee, who he was assigned to work with. He turned towards Tammy and tried getting her attention.)
Rory: Do te want go, Tammy?
Santana (putting her hand on Tammy's shoulder): Excuse me, Irish. No one from New Directions is allowed to fool around with a Troubletone, especially one that smells like shamrocks and dog food.
Mr. Schue: Santana, don't.
Kurt: I elect to go last.
Tammy (to Kurt): I think not, Spongeface Gaypants. I dibs last before te did.
Blaine: I'm starting to forget the lyrics.
Rachel (complaining): Finn would kick your culo in memorizing lyrics.
Blaine: And I care because...
Finn: I should shove a calzino in your mouth!
Mr. Schue: Guys, that's enough!
Artie (raising his hand): Mr. Schue, I say that Mercedes and I go next, since the rest of the people in this room refuse.
Mercedes: Let's go, Artie. We're gonna tear this room up.
(Artie and Mercedes went up to the Pianoforte and turned towards New Directions and the Troubletones.)
Artie: Today, we're doing a mash-up of "Beautiful Soul" da my man, J-McCartney...
Mercedes: And "Always Be My Baby" da my girl, Mariah Carey.
Mr. Schue: Alright then. mostra us what te got.
(Mercedes pointed to the band behind them, signaling them to start the music. The musicians started playing their instruments, and Artie and Mercedes started their link/link mash-up.)
Artie (singing):
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my Amore to go to waste
I want te and your beautiful soul
Mercedes (singing):
We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That te would always be mine
Now te want to be free
So I'm letting te fly
'Cause I know in my cuore babe
Our Amore will never die, no
Artie (singing):
I know that te are something special
To te I'd be always faithful
I want to be what te always needed
Then I hope you'll see the cuore in me
Artie and Mercedes (singing together):
I don't want another pretty face (Mercedes: You'll always be a part of me)
I don't want just anyone to hold (Mercedes: I'm a part of te indefinitely)
I don't want my Amore to go to waste (Mercedes: Boy, te can't escape me)
I want te and your beautiful soul (Mercedes: You'll always be my baby)
You're the one I wanna chase (Mercedes: And we'll linger on and on)
You're the one I wanna hold (Mercedes: Can't erase a feeling this strong)
I won't let another minuto go to waste (Mercedes: You're never gonna shake me)
I want te and your beautiful soul (Mercedes: You'll always be my baby)
Beautiful soul, beautiful soul (Mercedes: You'll always be my baby...)
(Everyone in the room applauded. Even Tina and Brittany stood up and gave them a standing ovation.)
Mr. Schue: Fantastic, te guys.
Mercedes: Always a pleasure to raise the roof, Mr. Schue.
Artie (whispering to Mercedes): Think that will impress Sam for te enough?
Mercedes (whispering back): I hope it did.
(At that moment, Becky walked in the room.)
Becky: Mr. Schuester, the principal needs te in his office. And Coach Sylvester wants to see Tammy, Santana, and Brittany.
Santana (mumbling to herself): Annoying child.
(The three Cheerios left out the door. Becky gazed at Artie and smiled.)
Becky: Are we still on for our date, Artie?
Artie: What?
(Mike and Puck started chuckling in the background.)
Artie: I'm sorry, Becky. We ended our relationship, remember? Besides, I have a test to study for anyways.
Becky (rolling her eyes, mumbling to herself): I was going to dump him anyway.
(Becky left out of the choir room, along with Mr. Schuester.)
Quinn: Well, she took it better than Rachel did.
(Rachel started screaming and sobbing out of the choir room into the girls' bathroom.)
Quinn: Told you.
So, what do te think?
