1. Wow. They found a way to make
the human being even creepier.
Copy !req
2. Covering him in icicles.
Copy !req
3. I think it's festive.
Copy !req
4. Yeah, my favorite
Christmas tradition
Copy !req
5. is trimming the hellraiser.
Copy !req
6. Guys, I found something
we can watch together
Copy !req
7. for Christmas this year.
Copy !req
8. The long-lost 1981 Inspector
Spacetime Holiday Special.
Copy !req
9. Run time two and half hours
and so critically reviled
Copy !req
10. that after it aired, the creator
has his knighthood revoked.
Copy !req
11. That sounds terrible.
Copy !req
12. I want to watch it twice,
Copy !req
13. but I'm spending Christmas
with my relatives.
Copy !req
14. Or rather, I'm spending
the day with my relatives
Copy !req
15. while they refuse
to acknowledge Christmas.
Copy !req
16. You Jehovah's Witnesses—
so severe.
Copy !req
17. Andre and I will be spending
Christmas giving gifts
Copy !req
18. to the more persuadable
of our Jewish friends.
Copy !req
19. I wouldn't call an unannounced
visit from your pastor "a gift."
Copy !req
20. And don't bother this year.
Copy !req
21. I'll be at the movies
with my bubbe.
Copy !req
22. You're not taking both of them?
Copy !req
23. Well, one's dead.
Copy !req
24. - What?
- I was looking forward
Copy !req
25. to hanging out with you guys
this Christmas.
Copy !req
26. This semester has been so long
and dark and angry.
Copy !req
27. I was thinking we could have
Copy !req
28. some light-hearted fun
as a family.
Copy !req
29. I think what we've learned,
Abed,
Copy !req
30. is that attempts to make
the holidays brighter
Copy !req
31. tend to give them
a certain darkness.
Copy !req
32. Oh, I don't know
if I agree with that.
Copy !req
33. Actually, maybe I do.
Copy !req
34. Heads up.
Glee club.
Copy !req
35. Merry Christmas, Greendale.
Copy !req
36. Glee club here, reminding you
Copy !req
37. that our Christmas pageant
is coming.
Copy !req
38. Next stop, regionals!
Copy !req
39. What the hell
are "regionals?"
Copy !req
40. They never stop talking
about it.
Copy !req
41. Please tell me we were
not this obnoxious
Copy !req
42. the year we filled in for them.
Copy !req
43. T-minus five seconds
till hip-hop remix.
Copy !req
44. Four, three.
Copy !req
45. Come on!
Re-re-re-remix!
Copy !req
46. Re-re-re-remix!
Copy !req
47. You're awfully quiet, Jeff.
Copy !req
48. Nobody hates glee club
more than you.
Copy !req
49. Today I'm just content
to sit back and enjoy the show.
Copy !req
50. And now
our pop music mash-up!
Copy !req
51. Elton Lil' John Lennon!
Copy !req
52. Kick it!
Copy !req
53. Hey, tiny dancer!
Copy !req
54. Okay!
Copy !req
55. Stop!
Copy !req
56. Cease and desist.
Copy !req
57. Glee club, meet ASCAP,
Copy !req
58. protecting musical copyrights
since 1914.
Copy !req
59. It appears they have received
an anonymous tip
Copy !req
60. that unlicensed material
was being performed here
Copy !req
61. without the artists' permission.
Copy !req
62. Merry Christmas, everyone.
Copy !req
63. Glee club
just became history club.
Copy !req
64. My soul is dead!
Copy !req
65. Oh!
Copy !req
66. Okay, if anyone asks,
we were never here.
Copy !req
67. Why?
Copy !req
68. The glee club
is at Westside Hospital,
Copy !req
69. recuperating from
a collective nervous breakdown.
Copy !req
70. This is the second glee club
we've lost in two years.
Copy !req
71. We might have to cancel
the Christmas pageant.
Copy !req
72. And to think they were
this close to regionals.
Copy !req
73. What the hell are regionals?
Copy !req
74. They're this close, Pierce.
Copy !req
75. Anyway, an old friend
wants to talk to you.
Copy !req
76. Your favorite
glee club instructor,
Copy !req
77. the dreamy and boyish
Mr. Cory Radison!
Copy !req
78. Oh!
Copy !req
79. Uh, I thought I told you
to call me Mr. Rad.
Copy !req
80. Or Cory.
Copy !req
81. Just don't call me
"late to dinner."
Copy !req
82. Unless you're serving
brussels sprouts!
Copy !req
83. I won't, I promise!
Copy !req
84. This guy's like human froyo.
Copy !req
85. Look, when the last glee club
died in that bus crash,
Copy !req
86. you guys stepped up.
Copy !req
87. And you were the best gosh darn
emergency substitutes
Copy !req
88. I've ever worked with.
Copy !req
89. - Aw!
- Well, this time...
Copy !req
90. I'm not gonna kid you.
I won't be easy.
Copy !req
91. - Oh!
- Your best...
Copy !req
92. Won't be good enough.
Copy !req
93. And ten times your best
will be so bad,
Copy !req
94. I will yell at you.
Copy !req
95. But I promise,
if we dig down—
Copy !req
96. - Pass.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
97. Okay.
Copy !req
98. Whew.
Copy !req
99. Don't you hurt him.
Copy !req
100. Mr. Rad!
Copy !req
101. I feel like we let
Mr. Rad down.
Copy !req
102. No, he let himself down
when he left the house
Copy !req
103. this morning
wearing a sweater-vest.
Copy !req
104. I guess we did have fun
last time.
Copy !req
105. Did we?
I can hardly remember.
Copy !req
106. It's all a weird, happy,
musical fog.
Copy !req
107. Yeah, it was almost
like being on ecstasy,
Copy !req
108. only instead of having
pointless conversations
Copy !req
109. and dancing like idiots—
wait.
Copy !req
110. It was exactly
like being on ecstasy!
Copy !req
111. That's what worries me
about this guy.
Copy !req
112. He is equal parts hanson
and manson.
Copy !req
113. Nobody let him corner you until
he is out of recruitment mode,
Copy !req
114. or next thing you know,
Copy !req
115. we'll all be caring
about Christmas pageants and...
Copy !req
116. Regionals.
Copy !req
117. - You're right, deal.
- Ugh.
Copy !req
118. - Agreed.
- Got you.
Copy !req
119. What the hell are regionals?
Copy !req
120. What are you still doing here?
Copy !req
121. I thought I'd give her
one more tinkle
Copy !req
122. before I took down decorations.
Copy !req
123. No glee club means no pageant,
means no Christmas.
Copy !req
124. I'm sure trying
to make things brighter
Copy !req
125. just would've made
more darkness.
Copy !req
126. That sounds like
a certain ex-lawyer talking.
Copy !req
127. I see a lot of myself in you,
Abed.
Copy !req
128. You care about your friends,
and you wish they cared
Copy !req
129. more about each other.
Copy !req
130. That's not an easy position
to be in sometimes.
Copy !req
131. I just want my friends and I
Copy !req
132. to have
a merry Christmas together.
Copy !req
133. Well, maybe you could start
Copy !req
134. by giving them the greatest
Christmas gift of all.
Copy !req
135. What's that?
Copy !req
136. Glee!
Copy !req
137. Glee!
Copy !req
138. Thank you, Mr. Rad.
Copy !req
139. Don't break down the set yet.
Copy !req
140. I'm gonna try to get my friends
to be in the Christmas pageant.
Copy !req
141. Thank you, Abed!
Copy !req
142. Thank you.
Copy !req
143. Merry Christmas, Troy.
Copy !req
144. Abed, you look gleeful.
Copy !req
145. Troy, don't you think
it might actually be fun,
Copy !req
146. doing this Christmas pageant
for the glee club?
Copy !req
147. Abed, we hate the glee club.
Copy !req
148. Yeah.
Copy !req
149. I guess I just like
liking things.
Copy !req
150. Abed.
Copy !req
151. Look, you know I'd do anything
you did, but...
Copy !req
152. I'm a Jehovah's Witness.
Copy !req
153. We're not supposed
to celebrate Christmas.
Copy !req
154. I've been thinking about that.
Copy !req
155. I may have a loophole.
Copy !req
156. What if you were
a Jehovah's Witness
Copy !req
157. that was merely pretending
to be into Christmas,
Copy !req
158. gathering clues and blending in
Copy !req
159. to take down the holidays
from within?
Copy !req
160. You mean like a spy
investigating,
Copy !req
161. making it seem
like I'm celebrating,
Copy !req
162. when actually I'm infiltrating
Santa's operation?
Copy !req
163. Hey, guys.
Copy !req
164. Rapping?
Copy !req
165. - Yep, wanna join us?
- Totally!
Copy !req
166. Wait, you guys never
let me rap with you.
Copy !req
167. Well, we're gonna need
all hands on deck
Copy !req
168. if we're gonna go to regionals.
Copy !req
169. Cool.
Copy !req
170. I just need to...
Study...
Copy !req
171. Though... In my room.
Copy !req
172. So have fun!
Copy !req
173. And then, this morning,
Copy !req
174. I could hear them
in the bathroom,
Copy !req
175. doing
country Western mash-ups.
Copy !req
176. And they won't stop talking
about regionals!
Copy !req
177. Maybe it's nothing.
Copy !req
178. Yeah, if "nothing"
wears a sweater-vest
Copy !req
179. and seems aggressively asexual.
Copy !req
180. Come on, let's all study
for our biology final
Copy !req
181. in our old—
Copy !req
182. Where's our table?
Copy !req
183. Who's that guy?
Copy !req
184. You guys all see him too,
right?
Copy !req
185. - Hey, guys.
- Merry Christmas, y'all.
Copy !req
186. Sorry about the rearrangement.
Copy !req
187. We need this space to rehearse
for the pageant.
Copy !req
188. But we're not doing
the pageant.
Copy !req
189. Look, guys,
I hear your negativity,
Copy !req
190. but also,
can I counter with this?
Copy !req
191. Who hates glee?
Copy !req
192. Listen to how that sounds.
Copy !req
193. Glee literally
means "glee."
Copy !req
194. Oh, stop it!
Copy !req
195. Not liking glee club
doesn't make us bullies,
Copy !req
196. and implying that
is reverse bullying.
Copy !req
197. Good point.
Sing about it?
Copy !req
198. No!
Copy !req
199. I understand them,
but you, Pierce?
Copy !req
200. Your generation invented music!
Copy !req
201. I don't know
about "invented."
Copy !req
202. Perfected, maybe.
Pierce!
Copy !req
203. They're just trying to pander
to your demographics'
Copy !req
204. well-documented
historical vanity. Resist!
Copy !req
205. Abed,
wasn't Santa Claus himself
Copy !req
206. part of Pierce's peer group?
Copy !req
207. I believe so.
Copy !req
208. One, two,
three, four.
Copy !req
209. - Pierce is on board.
- That's great!
Copy !req
210. For the Christmas queen,
I'm hoping
Copy !req
211. we can get Shirley or Annie.
Copy !req
212. They both have
really strong voices
Copy !req
213. - There's also Britta.
- Britta's adorable!
Copy !req
214. So Shirley or Annie
for the Christmas queen.
Copy !req
215. There's a leaf
on Britta's head.
Copy !req
216. She's playing a tree!
Copy !req
217. And it's gonna be so fun!
Copy !req
218. Mr. Radison, who authorized
you to rearrange our study room,
Copy !req
219. and who do you think
you are anyway?
Copy !req
220. I'll tell you.
Copy !req
221. I'm scared to go
into the study room.
Copy !req
222. There are so many top hats
in there.
Copy !req
223. I wish there was a way
we could stop all this.
Copy !req
224. I mean, I realize the stakes
aren't actually that high,
Copy !req
225. but somehow, that just
makes it extra scary.
Copy !req
226. I know.
Copy !req
227. Jeff, I think I know
what Mr. Rad is up to.
Copy !req
228. There's something
you have to see.
Copy !req
229. Mr. Rad plans to get
every single member
Copy !req
230. of our study group
to join the glee club.
Copy !req
231. Well, I don't know how
he thinks that's gonna happen.
Copy !req
232. I'll show you.
Copy !req
233. Wha—?
Copy !req
234. This is just one
of the many costume changes
Copy !req
235. I'll be doing during the show.
Copy !req
236. We're a shoo-in for regionals,
right?
Copy !req
237. Annie, you too?
Copy !req
238. This is beneath you.
Copy !req
239. You are an intelligent woman.
Copy !req
240. Also, you're Jewish!
Copy !req
241. I guess
I have a lot to learn
Copy !req
242. about holiday tradition.
Copy !req
243. Is this a bit?
Copy !req
244. I can't see!
Copy !req
245. - Annie.
- Ooh!
Copy !req
246. Look, eventually, you hit
a point of diminishing returns
Copy !req
247. on the sexiness.
Copy !req
248. What's a dimin—?
Copy !req
249. - Stay back, old man.
- Don't even hum.
Copy !req
250. Shirley, Britta,
I have no intention of singing.
Copy !req
251. Good.
Copy !req
252. I can't speak
for these little angels though.
Copy !req
253. Oh!
Copy !req
254. Mm!
Copy !req
255. Shirley,
you need to get out of here!
Copy !req
256. They're not gonna tell you.
Copy !req
257. That's what they do.
That's what they do.
Copy !req
258. Oh, gotta tell the babies!
Copy !req
259. Oh, Jeff, thank God!
Copy !req
260. They got Shirley!
It's just you and me now.
Copy !req
261. Jeff?
Copy !req
262. Guys, I am swelling with pride!
Copy !req
263. You stepped up, and you saved
the Christmas pageant!
Copy !req
264. Whoo!
Copy !req
265. And it's all thanks to you,
Mr. Rad.
Copy !req
266. I just hope we can repay you
by making regionals.
Copy !req
267. Uh, I thought
this was regionals.
Copy !req
268. Don't let my confusion
undercut their importance.
Copy !req
269. Places, everyone!
Copy !req
270. Scooch, scooch, scooch,
scooch, scooch.
Copy !req
271. I could not have done this
Copy !req
272. without your
recruiting skills, Abed.
Copy !req
273. I was happy to do it.
For a while there, I thought
Copy !req
274. we were gonna end the semester
on a really dark note.
Copy !req
275. I'm glad we're singing
and dancing together instead.
Copy !req
276. This has been a good time.
Copy !req
277. And it's going to continue
to be a good time.
Copy !req
278. If we win regionals, then it's
straight on to sectionals.
Copy !req
279. And then a week later is semis.
Then semiregionals.
Copy !req
280. Then regional-semis.
Copy !req
281. Then national
lower-zone semis!
Copy !req
282. Oh.
Copy !req
283. But I kinda thought this was...
Copy !req
284. You know, just for Christmas.
Copy !req
285. No, no, no.
Copy !req
286. This is forever.
Copy !req
287. This is what we do now.
Copy !req
288. This is who we are.
Copy !req
289. Is this about regionals?
Copy !req
290. I just talked to Cory,
and he needs you to be
Copy !req
291. the mouse king instead of me.
Copy !req
292. Me? But I'm supposed
to be a mute tree.
Copy !req
293. - It's an emergency.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
294. This will help us
get to regionals!
Copy !req
295. I knew it!
Wait, what are the lyrics?
Copy !req
296. - They're in your heart, Britta.
- Right. Duh doy!
Copy !req
297. What the—?
Copy !req
298. Oh, Britta's in this?
Copy !req
299. No, stop, stop, stop, stop!
Copy !req
300. What are you doing?
Get off the stage!
Copy !req
301. I'm singing my heart's song.
Copy !req
302. Get off the stage,
and never sing again!
Copy !req
303. You are the worst!
Copy !req
304. Hey!
Copy !req
305. You do not get to call Britta
"the worst."
Copy !req
306. - Yeah!
- Let her finish!
Copy !req
307. Mr. Radison,
I think it's fine.
Copy !req
308. I know Greendale
is an all-inclusive school.
Copy !req
309. Why don't we let Britta
sing her awkward song?
Copy !req
310. Yeah!
Copy !req
311. No, no, no, no, no, no!
Copy !req
312. This show is supposed to be
gleeful and bright and fun,
Copy !req
313. and you can let me do that,
Copy !req
314. or there can be
another bus crash!
Copy !req
315. Well, figuratively.
Copy !req
316. I'm not saying,
Copy !req
317. "I killed
the last glee club."
Copy !req
318. I'm saying
you not listening to me
Copy !req
319. is like metaphorically cutting
the brake lines on your own—
Copy !req
320. look, kings of Leon!
Copy !req
321. What did he say?
Copy !req
322. Did Mr. Rad
kill the last glee club?
Copy !req
323. And to think
I trusted him enough
Copy !req
324. to captain a magic carpet
in that dream I had last night.
Copy !req
325. Maybe Jeff's right.
Copy !req
326. Maybe forcing things
to be bright just makes
Copy !req
327. the darkness underneath
even darker.
Copy !req
328. This was all my fault,
insisting we do the pageant.
Copy !req
329. Sorry.
Copy !req
330. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
331. I guess I'll just see you guys
after the holidays.
Copy !req
332. Happy time day, Reggie.
Copy !req
333. It is tradition to give
one's constable a gift
Copy !req
334. at the end
of each orbital cycle.
Copy !req
335. Oh, thank you, inspector!
Copy !req
336. - Blimey! A hologram?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
337. Let's activate it
and view the performance.
Copy !req
338. This is terrible.
Copy !req
339. We decided we wanted to spend
the holiday together.
Copy !req
340. It's been a dark semester.
Copy !req
341. I basically killed a guy.
Copy !req
342. And I kind of attacked you guys
with a fire axe.
Copy !req
343. Yeah.
Copy !req
344. I'm thinking about seeing
a new shrink.
Copy !req
345. - What?
- Don't.
Copy !req
346. Holy crap.
Copy !req
347. Look how terrible
this Christmas special is.
Copy !req
