  Tina Cohen-Chang : Am I in trouble?

  Will Schuester : Come on. You've got more self-esteem than that. I think this might have to do with your perfect attendance last semester.

  Principal Figgins : No. Ms. Cohen-Chang is in trouble. It has come to my attention that the look you sport is what is known as goth. American teens are coming down with a serious case of "Twilight" fever, transformed from normal children into vampires obsessed with the occult. And only yesterday, this dark specter reared its head at McKinley High.

• Will Schuester : I don't mean to state the obvious, but you do know that vampires aren't real, right? They don't exist.

  Principal Figgins : William, denial will not make this problem go away!

  Tina Cohen-Chang : My parents won't even let me watch "Twilight". My mom says she thinks Kristen Stewart seems like a bitch.

  Principal Figgins : This is a serious problem! Ms. Cohen-Chang, you've got to find yourself another style of dress!

  Will Schuester : Hold on a second. Tina is shy, and one way she's found to express herself is through her clothes. High school is an incredibly important time when kids get to explore who they are. When I was in high school, I had a whole year where I dressed exactly like Kurt Cobain. I mean, come on. There has to be someone who you used to dress like.

  Principal Figgins : Yes. For several years in my early twenties, I dressed up as Elvis. But he was a Christian, Will! And he did not possess the ability to transform into a bat!

  Tina Cohen-Chang : [quietly]  I think he thinks vampires are real.

  Will Schuester : [just as quietly]  I think you're right.
