"It's the old, old story: Droid meets Droid, Droid becomes Chameleon, Droid loses Chameleon, Chameleon turns into Blob, Droid gets Blob back again, Blob meets Blob, Blob goes off with Blob, and Droid loses Blob, Chameleon, and Droid. How many times have we seen that story?"

A one-woman man's what I wanna be Stay by her side so faithfully I would if I could But it's just no good 'Cause there's two perfect girls for me!

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] 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. Mariah: Okay. Deal.
