Shirley: Isn't Abed's dad a hardcore Muslim? They're not as understanding as Christians, you could get your head cut off with a salami sword.
Annie: Shirley! That's the most racist thing I've ever heard.
Shirley: Was I racist?
Jeff: Pierce will beat that in one minute.

Britta: Hey, how's it going? How's your film class, buddy?

Professor Whitman: What do you mean, Jeff? What does your life mean? How long does it take you in the morning to-- to make it look like you have bed head? How many sweat-pants-sport-jacket combos did you try before you found the one that said 'I don't care'? Seize the day, Jeff, for real. Go running naked in a hailstorm, kiss a girl in the middle of the day, fly a kite, but do it for yourself. Or you won't just fail my class. You'll fail life.
