Shirley and Abed in “Introduction to Teaching”

Shirley

You're throwing away all your little movies. Why?

Abed

They have no value anymore.

Shirley

Well, if you're looking for something to believe in, I know a skinny little Hebrew handyman you can meet.

Abed

I'm not going to become Christian, Shirley, or a better Muslim. This was my religion. I thought the meaning of people was somewhere in here. Then I looked inside Nicolas Cage, and I found a secret. People are random and pointless.

Shirley

Well, in my religion, the whole point is that you can't understand every little thing, and you know, there's a word for people who remind you that you're not God, and invite you try a little harder. Prophets, messiahs, Kung-Fu-Pandas...

Abed

So Nicolas Cage is Jesus?

Shirley

Uh, no, but he clearly works in mysterious ways, and maybe that's just his job. And that's why critics can call him a genius or an idiot, and be right no matter what. A demon to some, and an angel to others, like a Cenobite.

Abed

Excuse me, did you just say "Cenobite"?

Shirley

Yeah, you know, Cenobite - like, from Hellraiser.

Abed

You like Hellraiser? You know the word "Hellraiser"?

Shirley

I thought Pinhead in Space was a bit of a letdown, but I'm in for the ride.
