( rewatching. i am weak. )

Yeah, what a fantastic idea! Remember how great it wound up last time you tried? I do. You're even worse than I am when it comes to getting overwhelmed and stressing out — and trust me, that's bad. Really bad.

Let me save you the time and effort and just stop this before it even starts, okay? Before we both get into some kind of trouble. I really can't afford something like that right now, you know.

Oh, you can't? You should consider it. It's pretty cool to be free of the weight of the fourth wall all the time out here. I don't have to be the only one running a commentary on our character development now. It's all out there.

Not everybody is as good at breaking the fourth wall as you are, Abed. You've had plenty of practice. This is still new for the rest of us.

I really like yours aslkdfj

Hm. [ He will consider this for a moment. ] You've got a point. It gets pretty Finding Nemo for a guy like me: out of the fish tank and into the ocean. It's different, but it's still water. I think you guys could all pick up on it pretty fast, though.

Finding.. Nemo... [ Annie stares at him in confusion for a moment, mulling over his words. ] Right. You know what's not Finding Nemo, Abed? Having your routine taken away from you out of the blue and having everyone expect that you're just going to be ... [ She desperately looks for some comparison he'll understand, flailing her arms into the air in exasperation. ] Big Lebowski about it!

[ A pause before, tentatively: ]

... did I get that right?

[ He stops to consider this. ]

It's not bad. But it's not too late for you to turn this around, Annie. You can still be Elle Woods. [ He thinks that's in her range. Pop culturing with Annie has a way of being pretty hit or miss sometimes. He'll get the patterns down eventually. ]
