Mercedes Jones : [Quinn offers her a snack] Thanks. I'm not hungry.
Quinn Fabray : Yes, you are. You're starving. I know. I've been there. Did all the other kids start looking like food right before you fainted?
Mercedes Jones : Yeah. How'd you know?
Quinn Fabray : Been there. Eat the granola bar.
Mercedes Jones : Why are you being so nice to me? I can't remember the last time you said two words to me that weren't "you" and "suck".
Quinn Fabray : 'Cause I was you; scared. Hating myself for eating a cookie. But I got over it.
Mercedes Jones : Yeah, well, of course you did, Miss Pretty Blonde with the white girl ass.
Quinn Fabray : When you start eating for somebody else, so that they can grow and be healthy, your relationship to food changes. What I realized is that if I'm so willing to eat right to take care of this baby, why am I not willing to do it for myself? You are so lucky. You've always been at home in your body. Don't let Ms. Sylvester take that away from you.
Mercedes Jones : I'm so embarrassed. This isn't me.
[crying]
Mercedes Jones : How did I become this person?
Quinn Fabray : You are beautiful. You know that. I'm gonna stay here with you until your mom comes, okay?

Tina Cohen-Chang : Do you want half of my peppermint patty?
Mercedes Jones : No. I don't put junk in my body.
Artie Abrams : Why are you doing this? We like you no matter how you look.
Tina Cohen-Chang : And those shake diets are really unhealthy.
Artie Abrams : They also don't really work. As soon as you go off them, you gain back the weight you lost.
Mercedes Jones : [standing up in anger] You know what? I don't want to hear it! You have no idea how much I'm sacrificing to be a Cheerio! To look fantastic. To finally fit in at this school.
Tina Cohen-Chang : [looking like an ice cream cone] We're just trying to look out for you.
Artie Abrams : [looking like a piece of cake] We just want you to be healthy.
Mercedes Jones : Stop getting all up in my face, telling me what I can and cannot do. And I'm really hungry, so stop trying to get me to eat you!
Artie Abrams : Hold up. Did she just say she wanted to eat us?
[as Mercedes turns to leave, she sees Rachel and Jesse, appearing as a cupcake and cheeseburger, respectively]
Rachel Berry : The point is that Fanny Brice is the most iconic work.
Mercedes Jones : Aw, damn.
[her eyes glaze over and she falls to the floor]

[first lines]
Sue Sylvester : Ladies, what we have here is a grade "A" dilemma. Mercedes, your vocal chords have had more fantastic runs than a Kenyan track team, but that look simply will not do. At first, I thought it was a subtle homage to yours truly, but now I fear it's some kind of ironic comment.
Mercedes Jones : Ms. Sylvester, I'm just not comfortable in those Cheerios skirts. They don't fit me right.
Kurt Hummel : Mercedes, you shouldn't be embarrassed about your body.
Mercedes Jones : Embarrassed? No, no. I'm worried about showing too much skin and causing a sex riot.
[they laugh and share a 'secret handshake']
Sue Sylvester : How do you two not have a show on Bravo?
