TV Trope: I Always Wanted To Say That

Britta: The only thing keeping [Jeff & Slater] going was the thrill of the secrecy and now that it is out, it’s over. Believe me.
Shirley: Can I just ask as a divorced, black housewife, what part of being a single, white slacker makes you people so jaded?
Britta: Ooh! You people? What do you mean ‘you people’? [grins] I cannot believe I got to say that.
Shirley: … It’s the little things isn’t it.

Slater: Why are they looking at me like I’m a zoo animal?
Abed: Well Jeff acts as sort of the dad of the group, so emotionally this is kind of like being told that you’re our new mom.
Slater: But you know it’s nothing like that… right?
Abed: Absolutely. Do you cook macaroni?
Slater: I have.
Abed: Macaroni’s my favorite.

Britta: Oh my God, how can you do this to me? I’m so disappointed in you.
Troy: Hey, you don’t get to talk to me like that. You are not Shirley! … And Shirley’s not my mom.
