00:07Did they send you out here to be mean to me, too?
00:12No.
00:13Good, because I can't cry anymore unless someone brings me a Pedialyte.
00:27Yeah.
00:30Here.
00:39Pretty comforting, huh?
00:41We could have put it outside the art department.
00:43Or biology. Or woodworking if we removed one of the fingers.
00:47You don't belong up here. It's not right that you're up here.
00:49You get it, don't you, Ahmed?
00:52You know what's important about the hand.
00:54No, I know what's important about story, and I know we're structurally overdue for a disaster.
00:57Oh, great. Figures the one person on my side is the one playing people chess.
01:04Don't move, don't move.
01:05What the hell else are we supposed to do?
01:07Flashback with me.
01:08What?
01:09Just trust me. I said a flashback three weeks earlier, it's how this story begins. Close your eyes and concentrate.
01:18And that solves the matter of the giant hand if there's no other business.
01:22Oh, there's some business.
01:23Yeah, there's business. When we tie the hand to the roof, we'd like you to use extra thick straps, please.
01:28Extra thick.
01:29Extra thick straps?
01:30Reinforced.
01:31Alright, meeting adjourned. Great.
01:34Extra thick straps? Extra thick straps? Extra thick straps? Extra thick straps?
01:42There, that should do it.
01:43What should do it?
01:45We made sure the straps were extra thick, remember?
01:46No, I don't remember because it didn't happen.
01:48You didn't?
01:52What?
01:54Did something just fall off the roof?
01:56That's a really stupid question, Annie. Obviously something fell off the roof. The question is what?
02:10Op-Ed, where's the Dean?
02:12Oh, damn. Come on.
02:16Okay, one, two, three.
02:18Carefully, carefully.
02:20I don't know what's a giant hand off a person haphazardly.
02:23You know what, Ian?
02:24Dean, hang on.
02:26Dean, we're so sorry. We love you.
02:31Screw you.
02:32What?
02:33Hey, that's my house.
02:34We are not sorry. We hate you.
02:37Are we gonna freeze to death?
02:38I call the hand.
02:41The fiberglass will preserve body heat.
02:47What's wrong with me if that's hot?
02:53Dean, these temperatures are lowering our immune systems in a world that's swarming with weird people's unvaccinated toddlers.
03:00Deal with it.
03:02I'm gonna go around to the other side to see if he's locked that door, too.
03:05It probably undercuts my goals to announce them out loud, but I'm a verbal thinker. I'm not even sure I
03:10have an idea until I say it.
03:13They should make hiking boots with a compass in the toe.
03:16Go!
03:18Dean, we're sorry and we love you?
03:23Nice uncontrollable question mark, Britta. You can't even fake it!
03:27Dean, we're sorry and we love you.
03:30Super realistic, Annie. You're a real sociopath. I saw all your true colors when the chips were down.
03:37Abed's the only human among you, and I think we all know how ironic that is. No offense, Abed.
03:42None possible.
03:43Abed, you bonded with him. Talked to him. You're alone in the end zone. This bowl is yours or nobody's.
03:49I appreciate your appeal to my well-known passion for athletics and sarcasm, but I didn't actually bond with him.
03:54I almost killed him.
03:55My naive obsession with contrived flashback technique has kept me from being invested in any of this actual story.
04:00I mean, what was it even? A bunch of people in an RV? And I had to Christopher Nolan it?
04:04Well, there you go. Now you can forget all about stupid three weeks earlier flashbacks and be a hero
04:10by joining us here in the moment and talking to the Dean like a human.
04:15That's my arc.
04:16That's your arc.
04:19Okay, here we go.
04:23There's no other business.
04:25I'd like to propose a heavy use of flashback in this episode. No, Abed, don't do it.
04:28Thanks, Abed!
04:30Stop that! Get your head out of your ass!
04:32I don't know how. I'm over-centrated with the gimmick. I-I-I don't know what's real. I don't-
04:35You are lying. You have to be lying. You enjoy this.
04:37Stop it! What has gotten into you? Why are you shocked that he's alienated?
04:41You get him to do something normal without abusing him.
04:45Abed, listen. This is a flashback, remember? The real story is happening in the future.
04:50You actually flashed back to now to help us.
04:55Okay, that was pretty good.
