Quotes 

  • Shirley : Uh, quick question. Are you all coming to my Christmas party right after the final, or are you stopping home to change into your Christmas outfits?

    Annie : [Breaking the silence]  I guess I could wear one of my Hanukkah sweaters.

    Shirley : Uh, Annie.

    [Uncomfortable] 

    Shirley : I didn't know you weren't, uh, Christian.

    Annie : Yep. One might even say I'm Jewish.

    Shirley : [Faking tolerance]  Oh, tha-that's good for you. Tha-that's wonderful. I respect all religions of the world.

    Abed : I'm Muslim.

    Troy : Jehovah's Witness.

    Britta : Atheist.

    Shirley : [With raised eyebrows]  The Lord is testing me.

  • Shirley : Oh, look. Britta brought what she believes in: nothing.

  • Shirley : You realize there's no other way for me to take this than as a giant middle finger to the most important day of the year.

    Jeff Winger : December 10?

  • Shirley : I did my best to create a special Christmas for my *one* intact family... and this is the thanks I get.

    Annie : Shirley, you are a guilt machine.

    Pierce Hawthorne : And Annie knows a thing or two about guilt. Am I right, Jew?

    Annie : Say the whole word!

    Pierce Hawthorne : ...Jewie?

    Troy : You would never catch a Jehovah's Witness saying "Jewie."

    Pierce Hawthorne : Tell it to the birthday cake you never got. You know, there's an old Buddhist saying...

    Britta : You are not a Buddhist, you are in a cult.

    Pierce Hawthorne : Suck it, Nietzsche.

    Annie : Guys, everyone's faith is weird. Let's just not talk about it.

    [all speaking indistinctly] 

  • Shirley : I'm not mad. I'm dissapointed.

    Jeff Winger : That's mom for mad.

  • Pierce Hawthorne : I'm born-again.

    Shirley : [Perks up]  Oh!

    Pierce Hawthorne : We had a re-birthing ritual in my friend's hot tub. I'm now a level five Laser Lotus in my Buddhist community.

    Britta : That does not sound like Buddhism. You sure you're not in a cult?

    Pierce Hawthorne : Just by asking me that question, you put me back down to a level four. You now owe me 2000 Energon cubes.

  • Shirley : It stands for "What would baby Jesus do? " And it's to remind us that the real meaning of this season is Christmas.

    Britta : Oh, well, thank you, Shirley. I'm gonna put that in the pocket closest to my heart.

    [Drops it down her shirt] 

  • Shirley : Jehovah's Witnesses are a type of Christian, right, Troy?

    Troy : Yeah, but we don't celebrate birthdays or Christmas, and we can't drink. But it helps.

    Abed : You're like Muslim. Assalamu alaikum.

    Troy : [with emphasis]  Shama-lama-ding-don

  • Shirley : I am so sick of the dean jamming his PCness down my throat.

    Jeff Winger : Pierce, I'd like to commend you for letting that one go.

    Pierce Hawthorne : [chuckling]  PCness. Now I get it.

    Troy : It sounds like penis. I just got it, too.

  • Shirley : Well, don't we have a diverse little family. I say we open up this party to all faiths. I brought my Star of Bethlehem, which led the wise men to the savior of all mankind. And you guys can bring a little trinket or doodad from your philosophies. Sounds good?

    Jeff Winger : As an agnostic, I'm gonna bring my winning smile.

  • Shirley : Jeffrey, I have two boys. And when we have a serious discussion, I find that a brownie helps them to relax.

    [gives Jeff a brownie] 

    Shirley : So why do you hate me and Jesus?

    Jeff Winger : I don't think my brownie's working.

  • Shirley : Jeffrey. Kick his ass.

    Mike : Cavalry's here. Shirts off, boys.

    Britta : Come on, I'm being punk'd, right?

  • Shirley : So I can't believe I never knew you were a Jew.

    Annie : I'd say the whole word next time.

  • Shirley : What is going on?

    Troy : We're trying to get Jeff ready for the fiiiiiiiiiiiii... iight.

    [whispers to Jeff] 

    Troy : I couldn't think of another word.

    Jeff Winger : [to Troy]  Idiot.

    [to Shirley] 

    Jeff Winger : He meant we were figh... ting.

    [to Troy] 

    Jeff Winger : It is hard to think of another word.
