BURT: You live a few years, you start seeing the hate in people’s hearts. Even the best people. You use the “N-Word”?
FINN: Of course not…
BURT: Yeah how about “retard”? You call that nice girl in Cheerios with Kurt, you call her a retard?
FINN: Becky? No she’s my friend, she’s got Down Syndrome. I’d never call her that, that’s cruel.
BURT: But you think it’s okay to come into my house and say “faggy”?
FINN: That’s not what I meant…
BURT: I know what you meant! What, you think I didn’t use that word when I was your age? You know, some kid gets clocked at practice, we’ll tell him stop being such a fag. Shake it off. We meant it exactly the way you meant it. That being gay is wrong. That it’s some kind of punishable offense. I really thought you were different, Finn. You know, I thought that being in Glee Club and being raised by your mom meant that you were some, you know, new generation of dude who saw things differently. Who just kind of, you know, came into the world knowing what has taken me years of struggling to figure out. I guess I was wrong.
