"Uhh, what are you doing Abed?" The Dean asked as he looked up at his desk at Abed, who was pointing a large video camera at his face; if he knew that he was going to be on film today, he wouldn't have worn his least-favorite tie to work...hindsight's 20-20.

"I'm shooting a movie." Abed said in his usual cold and detatched tone.

"Well I can see that, but I didn't give permission for you to put me in it."

"Don't worry, you'll like it. It's a high-school caper and I just need a few reaction shots from you. It'll only take a few minutes."

"Oh, what kind of reaction shots?" Dean Pelton questioned, beginning to become intrigued. Fun fact: Fast Times at Ridgemont High is one of the Dean's favorite movies.

"Well, the character I have you playing is the strict but oblivious Principal, mostly an off-screen role. Troy is playing the part of the likable slacker who tries to pull one over on the system...classic Ferris Bueller scenario."

"Oh..." The Dean stiffened his face and put his hand on his chest, "That sounds like a lot of fun, what kind of reactions do you need?"

"Anger."

The Dean scrunched up his nose, narrowed his eyes and balled his fists...

"Cool...now shock..."

The Dean opened his mouth wide and placed his hands on the side of his face.

"Now pick up your phone and shout 'I don't care how much an investigation is going to cost! Mr. Glover will NOT get away with this!' and slam it down."

The Dean followed his instructions to the letter, earning an approving thumbs up from Abed.

"Will there be anything else?" The Dean asked, now fully intrigued.

"Well the Principal isn't a big part, but if you want I have some lines you can run, if you have the time." Abed replied.

"Well sure Abed, this is gonna be fun!"

Abed lowered the camera and engaged the Dean with his eyes; the Dean often found his cold intensity hard to match, but the reaction shots and the chance to be a minor movie star had him too excited to care, "Cool...I'll go get them from my dorm."

Just as Abed turned to leave, the Dean called out to him, causing him to turn around with a start.

"You're a talented filmmaker...Greendale needs to make a new video promoting the school for our website. It pays, but not much." Pelton paused, "Would you like to help out with it?"

Abed tilted his head and looked up for a second, "Sure..."

The Dean's smile couldn't be scrubbed away, "Well that's terrific! We'll talk about it after I read my lines!"

"Cool...cool cool cool..."

The Dean remembers that day; Mr. Glover, You Ridiculous Man! is the third-most uploaded video on the Film Department's website, and the crisp, informative video Abed made for the school was streets ahead of the old, grainy 80's-era one that only made mention of half of the school's programs. Sighing fondly he put Abed's bio page face down and grabbed the next one, seeing as another new face clocked in at #9...
