          INT. DEAN'S OFFICE

          DEAN PELTON looks up from a book and addresses camera.

                              DEAN PELTON
                    Hi. Dean Pelton here. Due to a
                    teensy little attendance problem -
                    and a rather tenacious grease fire
                    - Greendale has to close its doors
                    for a few months.

          The Dean stands up. 

                              DEAN PELTON
                    However, while we're away, we hope
                    you don't forget all the great
                    things Greendale has to offer.

          INT. LIBRARY

          JEFF stands in front of the stacks.

                              JEFF
                    Greendale provides valuable
                    services to the community. Such as:
                    Overflow parking for the White
                    Castle next door. 

          BULLET POINT GRAPHIC: -OVERFLOW PARKING FOR THE WHITE CASTLE NEXT
          DOOR. A short beat.

          INT. STUDY ROOM

          ANNIE and TROY address camera.

                              ANNIE
                    Sure, some people call Greendale a 
                    "fifth-rate safety school."
                         (laughs)
                    What, would you rather go to a
                    "danger school?"

                              TROY
                         (clearly lying)
                    That doesn't sound cool to me at
                    all!

          INT. CLASSROOM

          BRITTA sits on a desk next to a box of SOGGY MAGAZINES.

                              BRITTA
                    Greendale currently maintains the
                    world's largest collection of water
                    damaged National Geographics.
                         (smug)
                    Beat that, Dartmouth.

          EXT. CAMPUS

          ABED walks toward camera.

                              ABED
                    Wi-fi enabled. Handicap accessible.
                    Raccoon free. With your support,
                    Greendale could be all of these
                    things by the end of 2014.

          INT. HALLWAY

          STARBURNS walks down the hallway.

                              STARBURNS
                    If Greendale doesn't reopen, you'll
                    miss our Spring Spectacular,
                    featuring appearances by this
                    picture of Luis Guzman and this
                    cease and desist from [CENSORED].

          He holds up a picture of Luis Guzman and a framed cease and desist.
          The cease and desist is blurred out.

          EXT. CAMPUS

          The Dean gestures to the school behind him.

                              DEAN PELTON
                    It would actually cost the city
                    more to tear Greendale down then to
                    keep it running.
                         (beat)
                    Is a fact that, if true, would
                    really help us out.

          INT. CAFETERIA

          PIERCE sits at a table and talks to not-quite camera.

                              PIERCE
                    I met Ted Danson in a Chili's once.
                         (beat)
                    He was unpleasant.

          EXT. CAMPUS 

          SHIRLEY sits on a bench.

                              SHIRLEY
                    Greendale has a long tradition of
                    sheltering the homeless!
                         (beat)
                    We're too scared to ask them to go
                    anywhere else.

          REVEAL: Two scary BUMS sleeping next to her. One YAWNS, unintentionally
          grazing Shirley. She jumps a bit.

                              SHIRLEY
                         (to bum, nervously)
                    Oh, hello.

          EXT. CAMPUS

          Dean Pelton stands with a number of students.

                              DEAN PELTON
                    So come back and see us soon! We
                    know the Greendale Experience is
                    one you'll never forget.
                         (beat)
                    The Greendale Experience. Because
                    we're not legally allowed to call
                    it an education.

          In the background, a SCREAMING STUDENT runs by, trying to pull
          a raccoon off his neck. SAVE GREENDALE comes up.

          END.
