Abed: Mariah, my name is Abed Nadir. My associate, Troy Barnes. Troy: Charmed, I'm sure. Mariah: Are you the guys that keep staring at me and intermittently yelling out 'books!'? Troy: The very same. We're both interested in taking you to the Valentines dance -- but, we are also best friends with each other. Abed: It is of utmost importance we protect that friendship from the stresses of courting you, so we're trying to be as direct and above-board about this as possible. Troy: Will you go to the dance with one of us -- and if so, which one? [Abed gestures in a 'your move' fashion to Mariah] Mariah: ... We need to get something straight here. This is the cutest thing that's ever happened to me. [Troy and Abed high five without making eye contact] But -- I don't know either one of you. Abed: Give us a moment. [Troy and Abed turn away from her and discuss amongst themselves briefly] New proposal -- get to know us at the dance and decide which of us you'd like to see again.
