Abed Nadir : I was looking for you.
Señor Chang : What? I...
Abed Nadir : We discovered you're the reason we all went to Greendale. You linked all our stories, like how the Cosmic Cube assembled the Avengers. That, and the four billion dollar deal with Disney. Turns out you were always one of us. So I came to see if you wanted to get some frozen yogurt.
Señor Chang : Really? That's... That's all I ever wanted. But it's too late.
Abed Nadir : Here's another thing I realised. Because of you, we got to reinvent ourselves at Greendale. Everyone should have the same chance, don't you think, Chang?
Señor Chang : It's not Chang. It's Kevin.
[Abed just looks at him]
Señor Chang : How long have you known?
Abed Nadir : Known what? Only you know who you really are. Also, you may have experimental monkey fever. You coming?
Señor Chang : [pauses] Yeah.

Abed Nadir : But, Jeff, it's a graduation gift. You see, on the surface we seem like just a group of people from diverse backgrounds who have become unlikely friends. But according to my research, our paths have crossed many times. We were destined to meet, like a team of superheroes. This is our origin story.
Jeff Winger : And here... we... go. Abed, we don't have origin stories. We have lives. Well, at least...
[looks around the table, everyone is excited with Abed's suggestion]
Jeff Winger : Yep, just me.
-
Britta Perry : So you're saying we're all connected, like the classic French film trilogy "Bleu", "Blanc", "Rouge."
Abed Nadir : No, like something more accessible. Like "Unbreakable."

Jeff Winger : Abed, it's amazing. I mean, yes, 2008 was the height of the slightly sour frozen yogurt craze, but... that still doesn't explain it. Maybe we really were all meant to be together. I'm not sure I understand it, but maybe we don't have to. What I do know is that the ways our paths crossed, even when they were bad, all led us to this point. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Abed Nadir : So what you're saying is that we're all each other's Uncle Ben's murder.
Troy Barnes : And we're all Spider-Men.
Jeff Winger : Yeah. Let's say I'm saying that.
-
Abed Nadir : You have to look deeper. Here. Take this, for example. It's a receipt I found in the back of Shirley's sock drawer on Thanksgiving.
Shirley Bennett : You went in my bedroom for some comic book thing?
Abed Nadir : Oh, no, my feet were cold. Ah, here.
[Takes out a pair of socks and tosses them to her]
Abed Nadir : You should probably wash those.
-
Britta Perry : Where's Pierce on this chart?
Abed Nadir : His contribution to the group has already been noted.
[Passes sticky note]
Britta Perry : [Reads] "Pierce Hawthorne. Fixture at Greendale. Unavoidable". Hey, is that a sad face?
Abed Nadir : I wouldn't know.
-
Abed Nadir : All this time, I wondered what it was that brought our group together. But I forgot one thing all heroes need. They need an enemy. Batman has the Joker, the Justice League has the Legion of Doom, and this study group... has me. I'm the supervillain. Why didn't I see it before? I'm emotionless, logical, smarter than everybody else...
-
Abed Nadir : I wanted to make a prequel and I ruined everything. I guess it could happen to anyone. I should probably write George Lucas a note of apology.
Jeff Winger : Okay, let's not get crazy.
