1. City college has a
space simulator.
Copy !req
2. We know. Close the door.
Copy !req
3. As I was saying...
Copy !req
4. On Monday, city college
will be unveiling,
Copy !req
5. the City College Cosmic Pioneer...
Copy !req
6. their very own orbital
launch simulator.
Copy !req
7. Pretty soon,
Copy !req
8. they will have an astronaut
on their brochure,
Copy !req
9. and we will still be bragging
about our foosball table.
Copy !req
10. What do you think happens
to enrollment then?
Copy !req
11. I don't know about you, gentlemen,
Copy !req
12. but I love my campus,
and I don't want to watch it
Copy !req
13. become a city college parking lot.
Copy !req
14. Well, what can we do?
Copy !req
15. We can launch our
own space simulator.
Copy !req
16. Before they simulate
their launch on Monday,
Copy !req
17. we simulate a launch this weekend.
Copy !req
18. We make Greendale,
not city college,
Copy !req
19. the first community college
Copy !req
20. to pretend to put a man in space.
Copy !req
21. Do we even have a simulator?
Copy !req
22. We can get one.
Copy !req
23. In 1980, the county museum
Copy !req
24. had a state-of-the-art
space mission simulator
Copy !req
25. sponsored by Kentucky
Fried Chicken
Copy !req
26. called the "Kentucky Fried Chicken
Copy !req
27. leven herbs & space experience".
Copy !req
28. Gentlemen...
Copy !req
29. Greendale's future!
Copy !req
30. Oh!
Copy !req
31. Actually, that photo's
from the past.
Copy !req
32. Here's one more current.
Copy !req
33. It's seen better days.
Copy !req
34. I admit... it could
use a good wash.
Copy !req
35. And I've got just the crew
Copy !req
36. to wash it.
Copy !req
37. Can we stop walking in slo-mo now?
Copy !req
38. 20 more yards.
Copy !req
39. You guys are walking in slo-mo?
Copy !req
40. Community 2x04 - Basic Rocket Science
Copy !req
41. I think you know the reason
Copy !req
42. this group has been
chosen for this job...
Copy !req
43. to atone.
Copy !req
44. For the obscene
entry you submitted
Copy !req
45. in the Greendale
school-flag contest.
Copy !req
46. That's right... I know
that this isn't a symbol
Copy !req
47. for the crossroads of ideas.
Copy !req
48. I now know it's a butt.
Copy !req
49. Yeah, keep snickering.
Copy !req
50. Pack yourselves with peanuts
and really be satisfied.
Copy !req
51. But guess what?
Copy !req
52. This won.
Copy !req
53. This is now our
school flag forever.
Copy !req
54. Proud of yourselves?
Copy !req
55. How do you know it was our design?
Copy !req
56. We submitted it anonymously.
Copy !req
57. Whoops.
Copy !req
58. One of you actually came forward.
Copy !req
59. What?
Copy !req
60. Now, somewhere beneath this dirt
Copy !req
61. is Greendale's newest pride.
Copy !req
62. And my hope is that
while you scrub it,
Copy !req
63. you will find the school
pride in your hearts.
Copy !req
64. After we clean it,
can we go inside?
Copy !req
65. No. That is a job for
some upstanding students
Copy !req
66. who are training right now
in the simulator simulator.
Copy !req
67. Great job on this.
Copy !req
68. Hard to believe I'm not
really not really in space.
Copy !req
69. I expect this craft
to be squeaky clean
Copy !req
70. in time for the pretend launch
Copy !req
71. in front of the press at 3:00.
Copy !req
72. Now, if you'll excuse me,
Copy !req
73. I have to make this
into a butt flag.
Copy !req
74. Man, I remember this
thing from High School.
Copy !req
75. During field trips,
Copy !req
76. we used to sneak inside and get...
Copy !req
77. to praying.
Copy !req
78. Oh, that's nice.
Copy !req
79. We should take a coffee break.
Copy !req
80. Let's all get coffee, okay?
Copy !req
81. Where are Troy and Abed?
Copy !req
82. I'm pretty sure they made
their way into that thing
Copy !req
83. five seconds after the Dean left.
Copy !req
84. What?
Copy !req
85. It's more beautiful
than I ever imagined.
Copy !req
86. - You've never been in it?
- My dad never let me.
Copy !req
87. He always had grudge against
fast-food restaurants.
Copy !req
88. They almost wiped out
his falafel stand.
Copy !req
89. But I memorized every
detail of this old girl
Copy !req
90. on the Internet.
Copy !req
91. Guys, we can't be in here.
Copy !req
92. Then get out.
Copy !req
93. Wow, it's pretty well preserved
Copy !req
94. for something that
survived the '80s...
Copy !req
95. And apparently a local transient
Copy !req
96. who liked to collect doll heads.
Copy !req
97. The '80s.
Copy !req
98. Our teen years, right, everybody?
Copy !req
99. I feel like I'm
underdressed for this.
Copy !req
100. I'm gonna get something
from the dorm.
Copy !req
101. Guys, seriously,
Copy !req
102. I have to ask that we
all step out of here.
Copy !req
103. Or what, you're gonna tattle on us
Copy !req
104. like you did with the flag?
Copy !req
105. I didn't tattle about the flag,
Copy !req
106. but you shouldn't have
made it in the first place.
Copy !req
107. If you love Greendale so much,
why don't you marry it?
Copy !req
108. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
109. I'm a little claustrophobic,
that's all.
Copy !req
110. It's no big deal, as long
as I'm standing near a door.
Copy !req
111. In close situations,
I get a little nuts,
Copy !req
112. and I don't know,
you know, what's...
Copy !req
113. - no, no, no!
- Hey, hey!
Copy !req
114. No!
Copy !req
115. - Hello?
- Oh!
Copy !req
116. Greetings.
Copy !req
117. I am Systematic Android Network
Diode Energy Rocket System.
Copy !req
118. But you may call me "Sanders".
Copy !req
119. Sanders. Sanders,
this is Pierce Hawthorne.
Copy !req
120. Can I get this door open, please?
Copy !req
121. Hey, look for the handle.
Copy !req
122. There's got to be a
handle on the door.
Copy !req
123. You don't know that.
It was the '80s.
Copy !req
124. Everybody who made
this was on cocaine.
Copy !req
125. We can't be in here.
Copy !req
126. Just as Kentucky fried chicken's
Copy !req
127. secret process seals
in the flavor,
Copy !req
128. I'm sealing the cabin's air
Copy !req
129. so you don't explode
on your journey.
Copy !req
130. - What?
- What does that mean?
Copy !req
131. Please find a seat,
strap yourself in,
Copy !req
132. and wait for mission control.
Copy !req
133. Okay, we got to find a
handle on this door!
Copy !req
134. Guys, guys, can we just
take a mental step backwards
Copy !req
135. and realize we are
simply in a winnebago
Copy !req
136. and we'll be fine.
Copy !req
137. Oh, God!
Copy !req
138. Please find a seat,
strap yourself in,
Copy !req
139. and wait for mission control.
Copy !req
140. I'm not strapping
myself into a coffin.
Copy !req
141. We got to get out of here!
I hope you found a seat.
Copy !req
142. I want you to be safe.
Did you just threaten me?
Copy !req
143. Pierce, you're talking
to an atari cartridge.
Copy !req
144. Sit down!
Copy !req
145. This is part of the
simulation, right?
Copy !req
146. I don't think this
is a simulation.
Copy !req
147. I think we're being towed.
Copy !req
148. - Come on!
- Hello?
Copy !req
149. Hey, guys, forget it.
Copy !req
150. Whosever towing us can't hear us.
Copy !req
151. You know, this is
classic Greendale.
Copy !req
152. That place deserves an anus flag.
Copy !req
153. Can anyone get a phone signal?
Copy !req
154. - No.
- No.
Copy !req
155. Mine's working,
but it's the black guy
Copy !req
156. with the wrong number again.
Copy !req
157. Pierce, I keep telling
you that that is an iPod
Copy !req
158. and you are listening to
Wesley Snipe's audiobook.
Copy !req
159. Well, he sure hates
the government.
Copy !req
160. This is a long shot.
Copy !req
161. But maybe if I do this,
it will solve everything.
Copy !req
162. Damn it!
Copy !req
163. This is all my fault.
Copy !req
164. - Very much so.
- Oh!
Copy !req
165. Hey, when you go fishing,
sometimes you catch a boot.
Copy !req
166. Where... Re... You...
Copy !req
167. Tel... Where... You are!
Copy !req
168. Hello?
Copy !req
169. Where are you hoodlums?
Bring my spaceship back!
Copy !req
170. Uh, we are...
Copy !req
171. 40 light years outside
of the buttermilk nebula,
Copy !req
172. although it is possible...
Copy !req
173. Yeah. It's a sticker.
Copy !req
174. Hey, terrible Dean.
Copy !req
175. This thing is being
towed with us in it.
Copy !req
176. Oh. Oh. Okay, wait.
Copy !req
177. So handicap spots
count on saturdays?
Copy !req
178. Assuming we don't wind
up in a compactor,
Copy !req
179. when we get back,
I'm going to step on you.
Copy !req
180. Okay, as much as I might
enjoy that, Jeffrey,
Copy !req
181. if you don't get back here
in time for the launch,
Copy !req
182. City College wins,
Copy !req
183. and Greendale becomes just
another school on my resume
Copy !req
184. that no one can call,
because it doesn't exist.
Copy !req
185. Now, tell me where you are!
Copy !req
186. In a moving canister
with no phone and no GPS,
Copy !req
187. because the only
window is sealed shut.
Copy !req
188. Hel... hello?
Copy !req
189. Jeffrey!
Copy !req
190. It isn't sealed shut.
Copy !req
191. Hmm?
Copy !req
192. The window isn't sealed shut.
Copy !req
193. It slides open when you
complete the simulation.
Copy !req
194. Well, can you talk
them through it?
Copy !req
195. Abed, if they can
open that window,
Copy !req
196. they can tell us where they are,
and we can find them.
Copy !req
197. I was supposed to
be on that thing.
Copy !req
198. I know how she works.
Copy !req
199. Hey. That's why they need
you to bring her home.
Copy !req
200. I'll get us some coffee.
Copy !req
201. - Troy.
- Abed?
Copy !req
202. You can get that window open
by doing the simulation.
Copy !req
203. Look at the panel on your right
Copy !req
204. - ... and tell me your recipe.
- Original.
Copy !req
205. - How many pieces?
- 6
Copy !req
206. - Flavor heading?
- Tasty.
Copy !req
207. We need to get it up to delicious.
Copy !req
208. That makes sense.
Copy !req
209. Excellent work, Captain.
Copy !req
210. Now keep your herbs
and spices balanced
Copy !req
211. while the crew helps
you with teamwork.
Copy !req
212. Guys, we can get the window open
Copy !req
213. if you man your terminals,
and we complete the simulation.
Copy !req
214. Yeah. I got a better idea.
Copy !req
215. - Oh!
- Jeffrey!
Copy !req
216. We're all dying.
Copy !req
217. We're all gonna die!
Copy !req
218. My readings indicate the
need for cooperation.
Copy !req
219. I hate to pull rank on you,
Copy !req
220. but I need you to man
your station now, Jeff.
Copy !req
221. I hate to pull reality on you,
Copy !req
222. but you got your rank, Captain,
Copy !req
223. by sitting in the chair
with the largest knobs!
Copy !req
224. My readings indicate Pierce...
Copy !req
225. - What?
- Pierce...
Copy !req
226. My readings indicate
Copy !req
227. you're going to die alone.
Copy !req
228. Why's he saying that?
Why's he...
Copy !req
229. why's he saying that to me?
Copy !req
230. Uh, he... he's getting worse.
Copy !req
231. Almost there.
Copy !req
232. Stop talking, old man.
Copy !req
233. You can't make me stop, Pierce,
Copy !req
234. because Troy is killing
your life force.
Copy !req
235. - I knew it!
- Oh!
Copy !req
236. I knew it!
Copy !req
237. Abed!
Copy !req
238. Kentucky one...
Copy !req
239. Do you read me?
Copy !req
240. Kentucky one, Kentucky one,
do you read me?
Copy !req
241. Kentucky one, copy.
Copy !req
242. Kentucky. Come in, Kentucky.
Copy !req
243. I've worked out a way for
them to reroute the power
Copy !req
244. from the auxiliary battery.
Reroute to what?
Copy !req
245. Everybody...
Copy !req
246. Here is the situation.
Copy !req
247. This is Greendale.
Copy !req
248. This is the maximum
distance from Greendale
Copy !req
249. we can drive to haul
them back up here in time
Copy !req
250. for the simulated launch.
Copy !req
251. And these are city impound lots...
Copy !req
252. Any of which might
be their destination.
Copy !req
253. What are these other circles?
Copy !req
254. What other circles?
Copy !req
255. Looks like you circled
public restrooms
Copy !req
256. and truck stops. Yeah.
Copy !req
257. There's another one. - Okay.
Copy !req
258. That is a different
side of the map,
Copy !req
259. and that is...
for a different project.
Copy !req
260. Why do they have star ratings?
Copy !req
261. - Let's get to work, people!
- Got it.
Copy !req
262. Talk to me, Buddy. Come on!
Copy !req
263. Uh, bro, we stopped moving.
Copy !req
264. Pierce has got space madness,
or he's just old or something.
Copy !req
265. They're locking him
up in the back.
Copy !req
266. - Argh!
- Run, Jeff!
Copy !req
267. You can't do this to me!
Copy !req
268. We just did!
Copy !req
269. Guys, please!
You're becoming animals!
Copy !req
270. Oh, shut up!
Copy !req
271. We wouldn't even be here
if it wasn't for you.
Copy !req
272. That's not true!
Copy !req
273. We weren't supposed to be
in here when it happened!
Copy !req
274. When what happened?
Copy !req
275. When we got towed?
Copy !req
276. How did you know we
were gonna get towed?
Copy !req
277. I set it up.
Copy !req
278. I called City College
about transferring,
Copy !req
279. and the Dean told me
that he would get me in
Copy !req
280. if I helped sabotage
Greendale's launch.
Copy !req
281. I was supposed to make
sure nobody was around
Copy !req
282. so that they could steal it.
Copy !req
283. And then you guys were late,
and then...
Copy !req
284. Wait, wait. You're transferring?
Copy !req
285. Why?
Copy !req
286. You guys thought that
butthole flag was so funny.
Copy !req
287. I mean, I respect you all enough
to let you hate yourselves,
Copy !req
288. but I respect myself too much
to let you hate my school.
Copy !req
289. Eh. I'm not buying it.
Copy !req
290. Yeah.
Copy !req
291. Let's kill her.
Copy !req
292. Wait! City College was behind this?
Copy !req
293. We have to get back in
time for that launch.
Copy !req
294. - Why?
- We earned the right
Copy !req
295. to pick on Greendale
every day by going there.
Copy !req
296. Our school may be a toilet,
but it's our toilet.
Copy !req
297. - Nobody craps in it but us.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
298. - Now, that was inspiring.
- Seriously?
Copy !req
299. Captain.
Copy !req
300. Get to your stations.
Copy !req
301. Okay.
Copy !req
302. - Thrusters.
- Full.
Copy !req
303. - Turbo shield.
- On.
Copy !req
304. - Navigation.
- Three.
Copy !req
305. - Chicken.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
306. - Ready?
- Ready.
Copy !req
307. Suppertime.
Copy !req
308. Hold it...
Copy !req
309. Congratulations, crew.
Copy !req
310. You've worked together.
Copy !req
311. Now feast your eyes on the
wonders of the cosmos.
Copy !req
312. Greendale. Greendale.
Copy !req
313. Everybody be quiet.
Everybody quiet down.
Copy !req
314. Quiet down.
Copy !req
315. Say again.
Stand by for location.
Copy !req
316. What do you see, gang?
Copy !req
317. We are in...
Copy !req
318. Coldwater.
Copy !req
319. Here...
Copy !req
320. Right next to the truck
stop with three thumbs.
Copy !req
321. Those aren't thumbs.
Copy !req
322. Greendale. Do you copy, Greendale?
Copy !req
323. I'm sorry, Jeff.
Copy !req
324. I'm afraid...
Copy !req
325. You're out of town.
Copy !req
326. I guess somebody'll
come get us eventually.
Copy !req
327. I really miss Greendale.
Copy !req
328. How many schools would let
you make a butt flag...
Copy !req
329. Then actually fly it?
Copy !req
330. How many schools would
let you get a degree
Copy !req
331. in theoretical phys ed?
Copy !req
332. Annie...
Copy !req
333. We owe you an apology.
Copy !req
334. Nobody should have to choose
Copy !req
335. between their friends
and their school.
Copy !req
336. Thanks.
Copy !req
337. But you shouldn't have
tattled about the flag.
Copy !req
338. I tattled.
Copy !req
339. I told the Dean it was our design.
Copy !req
340. And I told him it was a butt too.
Copy !req
341. - What?
- Why, Jeffrey?
Copy !req
342. He kept not seeing it.
I mean, it was driving me crazy.
Copy !req
343. It says "e pluribus anus".
Copy !req
344. I told you we should
have put cheeks on it.
Copy !req
345. There's a time and
place for subtlety,
Copy !req
346. and that time was
before Scary movie.
Copy !req
347. Hey, guys?
Copy !req
348. I'm feeling a lot better now.
Copy !req
349. Well, you... you sound good.
Copy !req
350. Yeah, you know, in a weird way,
Copy !req
351. being in a smaller
place like this,
Copy !req
352. I was able to work
through some things.
Copy !req
353. I think I'm ready to come out.
Copy !req
354. I'll kill you!
Copy !req
355. I will kill you, Sanders!
Copy !req
356. - Congratulations...
- Come on, man, come on.
Copy !req
357. Let go!
Copy !req
358. No!
Copy !req
359. Get off my mommy! I'm her man!
Copy !req
360. Pierce, stop! Stop it! Calm down!
Copy !req
361. Who's feeling skinny?
Copy !req
362. Dean? The press is here.
Copy !req
363. - Oh...
- I tried to buy us some time
Copy !req
364. with these double-icious
sandwiches,
Copy !req
365. but they thought I was doing
product integration for KFC.
Copy !req
366. This hawaiian bread
is so good, though.
Copy !req
367. Time to face the music.
Copy !req
368. Craig.
Copy !req
369. Stephen.
Copy !req
370. I'm surprised to see you here.
Copy !req
371. You don't think I'd miss your
moment of triumph, do you?
Copy !req
372. Greendale beating City College
into simulated space?
Copy !req
373. Unless...
Copy !req
374. You're having trouble
locating your ship.
Copy !req
375. You.
Copy !req
376. You were behind this?
Copy !req
377. The next time you
provoke City College,
Copy !req
378. you will lose more
than a winnebago.
Copy !req
379. Greendale. Come in, greendale.
Copy !req
380. Go ahead, Kentucky.
Copy !req
381. You can call off the rescue.
Copy !req
382. We're coming to save you.
Copy !req
383. Come on, you family-sized
bucket of bolts.
Copy !req
384. Abed, construction on spring road.
Copy !req
385. I see it. Left on apple valley.
Copy !req
386. Annie, left on apple.
Copy !req
387. Hold tight!
Copy !req
388. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
389. - Hi.
- Get off of me.
Copy !req
390. They'll never make it back, Craig.
Copy !req
391. That thing might as well be
on a simulation of the moon.
Copy !req
392. Oh, you know wha...
Copy !req
393. Ah, yes!
Copy !req
394. Hey, look out!
Copy !req
395. - Whoo!
- What just happened?
Copy !req
396. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
397. returning from their
maiden simulation,
Copy !req
398. the fabulous Greendale
greenstronauts!
Copy !req
