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 anda 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 anda did.
Blaine: I'm starting to forget the lyrics.
Rachel (complaining): Finn would kick your pantat, keledai in memorizing lyrics.
Blaine: And I care because...
Finn: I should shove a kaus kaki 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 piano and turned towards New Directions and the Troubletones.)
Artie: Today, we're doing a mash-up of "Beautiful Soul" oleh my man, J-McCartney...
Mercedes: And "Always Be My Baby" oleh my girl, Mariah Carey.
Mr. Schue: Alright then. tampil us what anda 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 cinta to go to waste
I want anda and your beautiful soul
Mercedes (singing):
We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That anda would always be mine
Now anda want to be free
So I'm letting anda fly
'Cause I know in my jantung babe
Our cinta will never die, no
Artie (singing):
I know that anda are something special
To anda I'd be always faithful
I want to be what anda always needed
Then I hope you'll see the jantung 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 anda indefinitely)
I don't want my cinta to go to waste (Mercedes: Boy, anda can't escape me)
I want anda 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 menit go to waste (Mercedes: You're never gonna shake me)
I want anda 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, anda guys.
Mercedes: Always a pleasure to raise the roof, Mr. Schue.
Artie (whispering to Mercedes): Think that will impress Sam for anda enough?
Mercedes (whispering back): I hope it did.
(At that moment, Becky walked in the room.)
Becky: Mr. Schuester, the principal needs anda 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.
