Kurt’s Dad’s (Burt Hummel) Speech GLEE (via ezramedic)
BURT HUMMEL FTW.
——
Burt: Hey! What did you just call him?
Finn: Oh, no, no. I, I didn’t call him anything. I was talking to the blanket.
Burt: If you use that word, you’re talking about him.
Kurt: Relax, Dad. I didn’t take it that way.
Burt: Yeah, that’s because you’re 16 and you still assume the best in people. 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: How about “retard”? You call that nice girl in the 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 the word when I was your age? You know, some kid gets clocked in practice, we tell him to 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. …I’m sorry Finn, but you can’t… you can’t stay here.
Kurt: Dad.
Burt: I love your mom. And maybe this is going to cost me her. But my family comes first. I can’t have that kind of poison around. (Turns to Kurt.) This is our home, Kurt. (Turns to Finn.) He is my son. Out in the world you do what you want, but not under my roof.
Burt: I knew it. I knew when I started in on the football with Finn you’d take it personal.
Kurt: How could I not, Dad? When was the last time you were that engaged in a conversation with me?
Burt: I’m sorry, I don’t know what you want here.
Kurt: What I want is you to appreciate how hard it is for me to watch you bond with a son that you’ve obviously always wanted.
Burt: What, suddenly I’m not the guy who sat through Riverdance three years in a row? Look, Kurt, I love you. And I’m sympathetic to all your stuff but come on, buddy, we got a deal here. Right? I don’t try to change you. You don’t try to change me. You are my son, and a little guy talk with some other kid isn’t gonna change that.
Kurt: Guy talk? I’m a guy.
Burt: Come on, you know what I mean.
Kurt: Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it is too soon for you to start getting serious with someone.
Burt: Your mom’s been dead 8 years, you know that. Why’d you fix me up with Carole, huh? Wasn’t it to make me happy? ‘Cause that’s what you told me.
Kurt: Can you go now? I’m a half an hour behind on my moisturizing routine and I need to get up early.
Great act, Chris!!!!!!
