"Glee: Silly Love Songs (#2.12)" (2011) Santana Lopez: Please. I've had mono so many times it turned into stereo. Santana Lopez: I've kissed Finn, and can I just say: NOT worth a buck. I would, however, pay $100 to jiggle one of his man boobs. Santana Lopez: Finn only wears that gassy infant look when he feels guilty about something. Santana Lopez: I'll just marry an NFL player. They're super reliable. Santana Lopez: I just try to be really, really honest with people when I think that they suck. Santana Lopez: That's how we do it in Lima Heights. "Glee: Sectionals (#1.13)" (2009) Mercedes Jones: I thought you and Puck were dating? Santana Lopez: Sex is not dating. Brittany: Yeah, if it was, Santana and I would be dating. Santana Lopez: Look, we may still be Cheerios, but neither of us ever gave Sue the set list. Brittany: Well... I did. But I didn't know what she was gonna do with it. Santana Lopez: Okay, look... believe what you want, but no one's forcing me to be here. And if you tell anyone this, I'll deny it - but I like being in Glee Club. It's the best part of my day, okay? I wasn't gonna go and mess it up. Rachel Berry: I believe you. Santana Lopez: Sex is not dating. Brittany: If it was, Santana and I would be dating. Santana Lopez: Sex is not dating. Brittany Pierce: If it were, Santana and I would be dating. "Glee: Mash Off (#3.6)" (2011) Santana Lopez: [to Finn] Hey Tubs! Can I talk to you for a second? Rory Flanagan: Hey, listen here. You can't make fun of Finn anymore. Santana Lopez: [to Rory] Shut your potato hole, I'm here to apologize. [to Finn] Santana Lopez: Rachel's right, I haven't been fair to you. You're not fat. I should know, I slept with you. I mean, at some point I must have liked that you look like a taco addict who's had one too many back alley liposuctions. Rory Flanagan: Whoa. Santana Lopez: [to Rory] Please stick a sock in it or ship yourself back to Scotland. I'm trying to apologize to Lumps The Clown. [to Finn] Santana Lopez: I am sorry, Finn. I mean, really, I'm sorry that the New Directions are gonna get crushed by the Troubletones. And also sorry that you have no talent. Sorry that you sing like you're getting your prostate checked, and you dance like you've been asleep for years and someone just woke you up. Have fun riding on Rachel's coattails for the rest of your life, although, you know what, I would just watch out for her come holiday time if I were him, because if I were her, I'd stick a stent in one of those boobs and let the Finn blubber light the Hanukkah lamp for eight magical nights. Santana Lopez: You seriously think you can out-insult me? I'm from Lima Heights, I was raised on insults. It's how my abuela puts me to sleep at night, and she was not a nice lady. Did you know she tried to sell me once? And it wasn't until I got to kindergarten that I learned my name wasn't Garbage Face. Rachel Berry: Okay, you know what, Santana? Finn is in great shape and your meanness only highlights your own insecurities. Santana Lopez: Rachel, your mustache is thicker than a Middle Eastern dictator. Santana Lopez: [to Finn] What did you just say to her? [points at Rachel] Finn Hudson: I said I thought you were great. Santana Lopez: No, you're lying. Rachel Berry: No. He literally just said that. Santana Lopez: [to Finn] You told her too? Will Schuester: [stands up] Santana. Santana Lopez: [to Finn] Everyone's gonna know now, because of you. Finn Hudson: The whole school already knows. And you know what? They don't care. Santana Lopez: Not just the school, you idiot. Everyone! Finn Hudson: What are you talking abo... [Santana slaps Finn and there's silence] "Glee: Pot O' Gold (#3.4)" (2011) Santana Lopez: [to Rory] Here's the deal, pixie-boy. You've got a crush on my girl, Brittany. I understand. She's beautiful, she's innocent, she's everything that's good in this miserable, stinking world. Sugar Motta: Awesome! More back up for me. Santana Lopez: Ok, you know what? I did not just leave one diva-driven glee club to join another, so let me write you a reality check, richy bitch. I've seen what you can do, and what you can do is stand in the back, sway, and sing very, very quietly. Sugar Motta: I, erm... I just... wanted to be on the winning team for once? Mercedes Jones: Then turn down the 'tude and you will be Santana Lopez: You are such a bacon-wrapped bug-eyed hypocrite. It's freaking hilarious how jealous of Blaine you are. Every time he opens his dreamboat a-capella mouth, you're just itching to kick him right in the Warblers. "Glee: The Purple Piano Project (#3.1)" (2011) Brittany Pierce: I have pepperoni in my bra. Santana Lopez: Those are your nipples! Quinn Fabray: [to Santana & Brittany] You guys are such suckers for going back to Sue Sylvester. Santana Lopez: Come on, screw her. This is for us. We can win two National championships this year. We joined Cheerios together, we joined Glee club together, we all slept with Puckerman the same year. We're like besties for life. Brittany Pierce: Yeah, come on, Quinn. We used to be the Three Musketeers. Now Santana and I are like Almond Joy and you're like a Jolly Rancher that fell in the ashtray. Santana Lopez: When I look at someone, I don't see someone who looks a certain way or has this or that amount of chromosomes. I just see someone I may or may not have to destroy. "Glee: Born This Way (#2.18)" (2011) Santana Lopez: The only straight I am is straight-up bitch. Santana Lopez: I have an awesome gaydar. Santana Lopez: [to Karofsky] Why don't you just settle down and let Auntie Tana here tell you a little story. It's about you. You're what we call a "late in life" gay. You're going to stay in the closet, get married, get drunk to have relations with your wife, have a couple kids, maybe become a state senator or a deacon, and then get caught in the men's room tapping your foot with some paige. And you know what? I accept that about you. "Glee: Sexy (#2.15)" (2011) Santana Lopez: Hey Britt-Britt. So listen. How about you and I pop in some Sweet Valley High this evening and get our cuddle on? Brittany Pierce: Look. I'd really like to get my sweet lady kisses on, but I haven't been feeling very sexy lately. [whispers] Brittany Pierce: I think I have a bun in the oven. Please don't tell anyone, okay? Especially Artie. Santana Lopez: Yea, sure, your secret is safe with [cuts self off] Santana Lopez: Oh my God Brittany's pregnant. Tina Cohen-Chang: Oh my God Brittany's pregnant! Noah 'Puck' Puckerman: It was only a matter of time. Lauren Zizes: For what? Noah 'Puck' Puckerman: Brittany to get pregnant. Lauren Zizes: Congratulations! Artie Abrams: For what? Lauren Zizes: Oh you didn't hear? Your girlfriend's preggo! You're gonna be a baby daddy! Santana Lopez: Hi. Brittany Pierce: Hey. Santana Lopez: Can we talk? Brittany Pierce: But we never do that. Santana Lopez: Yea I know, but I wanted to thank you for performing that song with me in glee club. Because it's made me do a lot of thinking. And what I realized is why I'm such a bitch all the time. I'm a bitch because I'm angry. I'm angry because I have all of these feelings, feelings for you, that I'm afraid of dealing with because I'm afraid of dealing with the consequences. And Brittany, I can't go to an Indigo Girls concert. I just can't. Brittany Pierce: I understand that. Santana Lopez: Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Brittany Pierce: No, not really. Santana Lopez: I want to be with you, but I'm afraid of the talks and the looks. I mean, you know what happened to Kurt at this school. Brittany Pierce: But, honey, if anybody were to ever make fun of you, you would either kick their ass or slash them with your vicious, vicious words. Santana Lopez: Yea, I know, but I'm so afraid of what everyone will say behind my back. Still, I have to accept that I love you. I love *you*, and I don't want to be with Sam, or Finn, or any of those other guys. I just want you. Please say you love me back. Please. Brittany Pierce: Of course I love you! I do! And I would totally be with you if it wasn't for Artie. Santana Lopez: [confused] Artie? Brittany Pierce: I love him, too. I don't want to hurt him, that's not right. I can't break up with him. Santana Lopez: Yes, you can! He's just a stupid boy! Brittany Pierce: But it wouldn't be right.

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

  • Brick Pollitt
    THE ESTATE OF MENDACITY: AN INTERPRETATION OF WILLIAMS’S MOST AMBIGUOUS CHARACTER by CREED BOWLEN B.A. University of Alabama at Birmingham, 2002 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in the Department of Theatre in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2010 © 2008 Daniel Creed Bowlen ii ABSTRACT I performed the role of Brick Pollitt at Lake Mirror Theatre in Lakeland, Florida from April 20- April 30 2006. The role of Brick Pollitt provided me with several acting challenges as well as multiple subjects to research. The most challenging aspects of portraying the character of Brick Pollitt are his alcoholism, issues of sexuality, and tormented familial relationships. Brick Pollitt journeys in the period of one day through major challenges in two key relationships. He moves from dominance in his relationship with Maggie to capitulation and from isolation in his relationship with Big Daddy to mutual understanding. Brick’s relationships are further complicated by questions surrounding his recently deceased best friend Skipper and drives (alcoholism) that may be perceived as self destructive. My preliminary work has led me to believe Brick is in search of peace (‘the click’) in a tormented life (Williams, Cat 2.47). The nature of the torment needs further research for definition. Some critics argue Brick’s sexuality is ambivalent, and he is repressing homosexual drives. Equally possible is arguing the homosexuality was restricted to Skipper. Making a decision about the definition of this relationship is key to making choices within the play because the friendship was so important to Brick’s perception of himself.

  • As Heard on TV
    Hugvísindasvið As Heard on TV A Study of Common Breaches of Prescriptive Grammar Rules on American Television Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Ragna Þorsteinsdóttir Janúar 2013 2 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enska As Heard on TV A Study of Common Breaches of Prescriptive Grammar Rules on American Television Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Ragna Þorsteinsdóttir Kt.: 080288-3369 Leiðbeinandi: Pétur Knútsson Janúar 2013 3 Abstract In this paper I research four grammar variables by watching three seasons of American television programs, aired during the winter of 2010-2011: How I Met Your Mother, Glee, and Grey’s Anatomy. For background on the history of prescriptive grammar, I discuss the grammarian Robert Lowth and his views on the English language in the 18th century in relation to the status of the language today. Some of the rules he described have become obsolete or were even considered more of a stylistic choice during the writing and editing of his book, A Short Introduction to English Grammar, so reviewing and revising prescriptive grammar is something that should be done regularly. The goal of this paper is to discover the status of the variables ―to lay‖ versus ―to lie,‖ ―who‖ versus ―whom,‖ ―X and I‖ versus ―X and me,‖ and ―may‖ versus ―might‖ in contemporary popular media, and thereby discern the validity of the prescriptive rules in everyday language. Every instance of each variable in the three programs was documented and attempted to be determined as correct or incorrect based on various rules. Based on the numbers gathered, the usage of three of the variables still conforms to prescriptive rules for the most part, while the word ―whom‖ has almost entirely yielded to ―who‖ when the objective is called for.
