Great reaction! Here's the deal on the movies they kept mentioning. Apocalypse Now is a film (set in Vietnam, actually filmed in the Philippines) directed by Francis Ford Coppola; its filming in 1976-77 famously went way over budget and over schedule, due to illness, natural disasters, personal crises, and much more. In 1990-91, a documentary, Hearts of Darkness, was created using footage that Coppola's wife Eleanor shot behind the scenes, along with new interviews. Some do indeed consider it the better movie of the two, as Abed and Luis both say.

Another point you were curious about: Pretty much throughout the history of movies, it has been found necessary to have someone on set, usually sitting right by the director, keeping track of "continuity" -- not just whether positions, props, etc., are consistent between different shots in a scene, but keeping track of the script -- whether lines were said correctly, guarding against a scene being accidentally left out, all that sort of thing. Historically, the person in this position was most often a woman (in line with the historical attitude that women were good at picky detail work which men didn't want to bother with). These days, the person will be identified in credits as "script supervisor" or "continuity," but in earlier times the title was "script clerk" or, in fact, "script girl" (whatever her age). Naturally the dean thinks in such terms and makes Annie his Script Girl, and when she points out that it's an outdated term and these days "supervisor" is preferred, he corrects the wrong part and addresses her as "supervisor girl."
