W: Well, I need more kids-- performers-- and all the best ones are in the Cheerios, so I figured some of them might want to double up.
S: Okay, so what you're doing right now is called blurring the lines. High school is a caste system. Kids fall into certain slots. Your jocks and your popular kids up in the penthouse. The invisibles and the kids playing live-action : druids & trolls out in the forest: bottom floor.
W: And where do the Glee kids lie?
S: Sub-basement.
E: Sue's not wrong, but I don't think anything is set in stone.
I mean, you know, kids are going to do what they think is cool, which is not always who they are.
You just need to find a way to get them out of their boxes.
W: Well, how do I do that? They follow the leader.
E: You know, if you can get a couple of the popular kids to sign up, the rest will fall right in line.
