ShirleyCongratulations, Jeffrey. You worked hard not to work hard to earn that degree.
ShirleyYou have been sexually harassing me since the very first day of class.
Sexually harassing? That makes no sense to me. Why would I harass someone who turns me on?
ShirleyCan we have a protest? I want to protest the hell out of something.
We can have a candlelight vigil, like lesbians have on the news!
And, I hate you. And, I want to have your children.
ShirleyDamn, I picked the wrong couple to follow out of class this morning.
Where's Abed? I need to talk to him about his films.
ShirleyThat boy is flat out prescient! He can read our minds!
[Abed walks in and everyone stares at him]
I know what you're going to say. You watched my movies on the website.
ShirleyHe's a witch!
Get him!
That's my newspaper.
Shirley[hysterical] What do you need a paper for? You knew what was going to happen yesterday, you Middle Eastern magic eight ball! Pierce hurt his leg, Britta made Troy cry, what's my destiny? Am I going to die in a car? Is it going to happen soon?
Wow, this is a real barn burner! Oh god, did I say cross burner?
ShirleyNo, you did not!
Oh, good.
ShirleyPierce has got a girlfriend!
That's great. What's she do?
She's an escort.
ShirleyOh...
Some mysteries solve themselves, don't they?
ShirleyI'm so sick of the dean jamming his PC-ness down my throat.
Pierce, I'd like to commend you for letting that one go.
ShirleyYou don't see me saying anything crazy about Abed and Troy's weird relationship.
[to each other] They're just jealous.
ShirleyDoes anybody get specific about me?
Check your e-mail.
ShirleyI'll mark you as spam.
Who the hell's Pam?
[Abed is being a "different version of himself"; Annie is standing in as the girl]
What are you reading?
Pride and Prejudice.
So you're familiar with two sins... how about a third?
ShirleyOoh! [Everyone leans in closer as Abed pulls out a cigarette case.]
I don't think we're allowed to smoke in here.
Well, then you picked the wrong outfit, didn't you.
[Abed leans in for a kiss and is interrupted at the last second.]
ShirleyAbed, what are you doing?!
Don Draper from Mad Men. What did you think?
Weird.
Awesome.
Put your tongue in her ear.
I liked it.
[In his office, the Dean is talking to Annie and Shirley about their bad job as on-campus security guards. Abed watches while eating popcorn]
I see how that would be frustrating, but the fact is-
[Suggesting the lines to the Dean] Your ass is on the line.
My ass is on the line!
You just got off the phone with the mayor.
I just got off the phone with the- what, the mayor?! Stop doing that!
I'm trying to help. You're not doing this right.
[sarcastically] Well, maybe you should do it.
[Abed hands the Dean his bag of popcorn, then slams a hand on the table and starts speaking to Annie and Shirley in an African-American accent]
I'm sick and tired of making excuses for you two! You're an embarrassment to the department! You're off the case and off the force! Your badges and your windbreakers now! [Annie and Shirley hesitate] Now! I ain't got all day! Agitating my sciatica... I'm too old for this! Now, get out of my sight! Thought you were badasses, huh? Real badasses work together. All I see is a housewife and a girl scout.
[offended] Hey!
ShirleyAbed!
I said get out! And don't ever think about getting near this case, huh!
[Annie and Shirley exit the Dean's office]
Pretty harsh.
[Talking normally] Whatever, that's what they needed.
ShirleyCome on, everybody, let's not make fun of Annie.
No, no, I don't want anybody's pity. You know, come to think of it, after Pierce, you're the most bigoted.
ShirleyWhat?
When you found out I was Jewish, you invited me into a "pool party" that turned out to be a baptism.
ShirleyWell, excuse me for trying to sneak you into heaven!
