Britta Perry : [mocking Annie] I don't know anything. I need boys. Saving the planet makes my back hurt.
Annie Edison : [mocking Britta] Oh, I obviously don't need boys for anything. That's why I wear stripper boots during the day and eat only celery and mustard for lunch.
Britta Perry : [mocking Annie] I never stop smiling.
Annie Edison : [mocking Britta] I never start.
Britta Perry : [mocking Annie] My sweaters keep shrinking.
Annie Edison : [mocking Britta] I get up an hour early to ever so slightly curl my hair.
Shirley Bennett : Yeah, you're both so different. Skinny bitches.

Jeff Winger : Guys, guys, guys. Did we learn nothing from last Christmas? I don't see much difference between Pierce's religion and anybody else's.
Annie Edison : Well, then you're not listening, because his has lasers!
Jeff Winger : Look, you guys make fun of me for not caring about religion. But at least I'm dedicated enough to not caring to let you have your own beliefs. Can't Pierce have his? Can't you be cool like me?
[picks up his phone]
Jeff Winger : Hello?
Troy Barnes : He ends so many of his speeches that way.

Professor Ian Duncan : Greetings, class. I am Dr. Ian Duncan. Now, I don't normally teach Anthropology, but apparently, Professor Bauer tried to strangle Mr. Winger and has been put on administrative leave with pay. So, what is anthropology?
[pauses]
Professor Ian Duncan : Seriously, does anyone know? You, in the boobs.
Annie Edison : It's the study of humanity.
Professor Ian Duncan : Wow. Wow, I thought Psychology was a racket.
Ben Chang : Well, well. I heard there was a drunk limey teaching this class.
Professor Ian Duncan : I'm not actually drunk and I can prove it. I blew beneath the legal limit just this morning.
Jeff Winger : That's reassuring.
Professor Ian Duncan : Also I would like everyone here to know that this man assaulted me last year. And I have a restraining order, so I can have him expelled if he comes within...
Ben Chang : [holding up a tape measure] Twenty-five feet. Abed.
Abed Nadir : Yep.
[Abed pulls the tape from Chang twenty-five feet to Duncan]
Ben Chang : Proceed, Dr. Teeth.
-
Abed Nadir : [about Pierce's non-reaction to his mother's death] He hasn't cried yet. I'm told that's not normal.
Jeff Winger : Who's normal, Abed?
Shirley Bennett : Baptists are, but that's beside the point. Everybody has some service for the departed. Eskimos, witch doctors, Jewish people.
Annie Edison : Cool, we made the list.

Troy Barnes : I just saw a dead body.
Shirley Bennett : Told you not to use the east stairwell. My pastor said it's meth season.
Troy Barnes : You know I'm living with Pierce now, so this morning I went to do laundry in the garage and I found his mom, dead.
Shirley Bennett , Britta Perry : Oh.
Annie Edison : Troy, that's terrible.
Troy Barnes : Well, she had been in bad shape for a while, so I guess she crawled out there to die like a cat. I've never been close to a dead body.
Annie Edison , Britta Perry : Oh.
Shirley Bennett : Oh, pumpkin.
[Annie, Britta and Shirley console Troy]
Troy Barnes : She was so cold and grey. I saw her underwear.
Pierce Hawthorne : [enters room whistling] Jeez, who died?
Britta Perry : Pierce, we're so sorry to hear about your mom.
Pierce Hawthorne : Why?
Annie Edison : Losing a loved one is always difficult.
Pierce Hawthorne : What? My mom isn't dead.
Shirley Bennett : But when Troy found her, he said...
Pierce Hawthorne : Well her heart, lungs, kidneys and brain have stopped working.
Jeff Winger : And another way of saying that would be?
Pierce Hawthorne : She used up her organic body.
Britta Perry : By... dying in it.
Pierce Hawthorne : Wrong. She's alive. Mom was a part of my Buddhist church. She's a Level Five Laser Lotus, same as me. When a Level Five's body stops functioning, it's vaporized in the Temple of Renewal and stored in an energon pod. In a few years, when our technology advances, they'll extract her body vapors, re-condense it to a solid. Before you know it, Mom will be back in the kitchen making Troy and me sandwiches.
[pats Troy on the shoulder]
Pierce Hawthorne : Heh.
[Troy starts sobbing]
Shirley Bennett , Annie Edison , Britta Perry : Oh!
Shirley Bennett : Pumpkin. It's okay. Oh, sweetie.

Annie Edison : Greendale cares about this issue.
Britta Perry : Yeah, I don't think that's it.
Annie Edison : What do you mean?
Britta Perry : Come on, Annie. Guys are giving you money because of the sexy schoolgirl routine.
Annie Edison : I have a routine?
Britta Perry : Yeah. The one where you use posture as an excuse to stick out your chest and you laugh at guys' unfunny jokes, pretending not to know that they have a sock at home with your name on it.
Annie Edison : Umm... that's me. And if a guy wants to make a puppet of me, that's hardly your concern.
