Episode 22 Announcements, Costumes and a Scarecrow

Winston and Ally's
Schmidt and Cece walk in.
Schmidt: Okay, what is so all fired important, that I had to drop what I was doing and come right over?
Winston: Oh, come on, we all know you were just shopping for new pants, online.
Schmidt: You don't know that.
Cece: Babe, come on. The new fall fashions are out.
Ally: We know.
Winston: Besides we have to wait for everyone to arrive.
Cece: For what?
Winston: For our big announcement.
Schmidt: Big?
Winston: The biggest!
Schmidt: Well, I am not waiting for everyone to get here to.........
Cece: Schmidt!
Schmidt: I'll just be over there. (He points to the couch)
Cece: So when is everyone else coming?
Ally: Jess, just left the school and should be here soon. Reagan well, she will fit us in soon.....
Winston: And Nick will be here, as soon as he can.
Schmidt: So you just want us to sit here waiting? Like the fat kid, waiting for someone to call on a Friday night!
Cece: Schmidt, calm down. They can't possibly expect us to wait here for an indefinite amount of time.
They just stare at them.
Cece: Are you kidding me Bishop?
Winston has a sorta, what look on his face.
Schmidt: We are leaving.
Cece: Uh huh....
They get up and start to leave.
Winston: Okay, okay....
Ally: Come on back guys.
Winston: Come on, sit down.
He takes a deep breath.
Cece: Come on, out with it.
Winston: Okay, well Halloween is coming up and.......
Ally: We want to throw the Halloween party this year.
Schmidt: Big?! That's not big!
Cece: That's your big announcement? I thought you were going to say that Ally is pregnant.
Winston: No. (He looks at her, she shakes her head no.) No! Look I know you guys, usually host but this year, we want to host the party.
Cece: Inviting a bunch of people into your home....
Schmidt: Trampling your brand new carpet in shoes, that you told them to remove....
Cece: I think we are fine with it.
Winston: That's good, cause we really want to do it up right this year.
Cece and Schmidt: Hey!
Ally: I think what Winston means to say, is that he is just excited to throw our first party as a married couple.
Winston: Yeah, yeah.

Later
Jess, talking to Winston and Ally
Jess: I would love to come. I have a new Madame Curie costume, I am dying to wear. (She chuckles a bit)
They both look confused.
Jess: Well, it's just that she died from exposure to radiation........you know, that would have killed at school. (She laughs again)

Moments later
Winston and Ally are talking to Nick and Reagan
Reagan: I don't know, a party on Halloween?
Nick: Yeah, the bar is bound to be busy.
Reagan: Yeah and isn't dressing up a bit childish?
Winston: I just dressed up last week.
They just look at each other.
Ally: Look, you two are coming. (Ally shoots them a look, as to say she is serious)
Winston: Yeah, and you better dress up. Oh, and no coming as outside Dave.
Ally: Again.

Halloween
Winston and Ally's
Ally is in the living room and Winston is in the bedroom. Ally is dressed as
Pocahontas.
Ally: My love, you just about ready? It's almost 7:00.
Winston: Perfection takes time. Don't rush me woman!
Ally: What was that?
Winston: Ah, I will be out soon and I love you.
Ally: That's what I thought.
Winston comes out dressed as the Marvel character Falcon. He looks great.
Jess walks in, just after Winston comes out.
Jess: Wow!
Ally: Yeah babe, you really out did yourself.
Winston is all embarrassed.
Winston: Ah, yeah...........you guys look great, too. Ally, that is the best Pocahontas I have ever seen. And believe me, I have seen a lot of Pocahontas.
Ally: I believe you.
Jess: Ah, so....do you need any help?
Ally: Yeah, can you just help with the veggie plate while I work on this? (She points to something else in the kitchen)
Jess: Absolutely. So Winston, you ready for the party?
Winston: You know it. And the party doesn't just start in here.
Jess: Ah, what does that mean?
Winston laughs.
Schmidt and Cece are in the elevator and there is a skeleton in the corner. Schmidt is clearly annoyed.
Cece: Babe, come on. It's Halloween.
Schmidt: I know it's Halloween.
Cece: Is it because of that high pitched scream you let out? Cause I thought it was cute.
Schmidt: I didn't scream.
She stares at him.
Schmidt: If anything, it was a manly shriek.
She is still staring at him, smiling and stifling a giggle.
Schmidt: I am so glad that my discomfort amuses you.
She kisses him on the cheek as the elevator opens. They knock on the door.
Ally: Hey!
Schmidt and Cece are dressed as Popeye and Olive Oyl and Winnie is Swee'Pea.
Ally: You guys look great.
Cece: You too, I love that costume.
She turns to Winston.
Cece: Winston, you did a great job setting the mood.
Winston: You liked the hallway?
The hallway is decorated for fall.
Cece: I did and Schmidt had quite the reaction to the elevator.
Winston: Really?
Schmidt: Wha, I don't know what you are talking about. Oh, I mean, when I was a little ah, protective.
Winston: Protective?
Schmidt: Yeah, as a father, I am always in a protective mode. You'll see.
Cece: So cute.
She kisses his cheek again. Then walks further into the loft.

Later
The party is in full swing, but Reagan and Nick have yet to show.
Jess: They said they would be over here by 8:00.
Cece: It's 8:15.
Ally: Excuse me!
She turns to leave.
Winston: Where are you going?
Ally: To teach your friends a lesson.
Moments later they all come walking in.
Nick: It just took us a while to get ready.
Reagan: Our costumes took time.
Nick is wearing a red flannel shirt and dark jeans. Reagan is wearing her work clothes.
Ally: Costumes?
Nick: Yeah, Reagan worked hard to look like a Pharmacy rep.
Winston: She is a Pharmacy rep.
Reagan points to her name tag.
Reagan: Pharmacy rep, Debbie.
Cece: Pharmacy reps don't wear name tags.
Jess: Did you take that from someone at the hospital?
Reagan: That's not the point.
Nick: Yeah, the point is, she is wearing a costume.
Schmidt: And who are you supposed to be? Future Nick?
Nick looks impressed with the idea.
Reagan: No! He is the Brawny guy. Just look.
She points to the paper towels in his hand.
Jess: Uh, that's not Brawny paper towels.
Nick: Well, it would have been, if you didn't need to save ten cents on these off brand paper towels.
Jess: It's ten cents per paper towel, and with the amount of paper towels you go through, you should thank me.
Nick: Well, I wouldn't go through as many, if they worked better.
Reagan: We are not going to do this, we aren't going to go through this again.
She is clearly annoyed with their arguments over paper towels and other paper products.

Jess: You guys look great.
Ally: You really do.
Jess: Who's idea was Popeye and Olive Oyl?
Cece: Schmidt. I barley got the words Halloween out of my mouth, before he said Popeye and Olive Oyl.
Jess: He is so cute.
Cece: He really is.
She walks over and kisses him on the cheek again.
Schmidt: What's that for?
Cece: No reason.
Schmidt: Was I cute again?
Cece: Adorable.

Later
Everyone is having a good time. Schmidt goes to the bathroom and sees a scarecrow in the bathroom. He screams. He comes out and goes to Winston.
Schmidt: What is this, freakin Hee Haw?
Winston: Hey, Hee Haw was a wonderful and dare I say, groundbreaking show.
Schmidt: Wha, some white guys with banjos?
Winston: In overalls!
Schmidt walks away in frustration. Cece just looks amused at her husband.

Reagan is talking to someone.
Reagan: I am pharmacy rep, Debbie.
Cut to
Nick is talking to someone else.
Nick: The paper towel guy.
The other guy looks confused.
Cut to
Another guy: I know, a lumber Jack!
Nick: Sure.
Cut to
Reagan: Next year.
Nick: Real costumes?
Reagan: Absolutly.

Everyone is having a great time, Schmidt is a little annoyed with bobbing for apples inside a very luxurious, albeit rather uniquely decorated loft.

Later
Schmidt sees the scarecrow again and screams. Again!
Schmidt: Winston! Scarecrows don't work inside?
Winston: Were you scared?
Schmidt: (Clearly annoyed) Yes!
Winston: Well, then I would say that it does work, inside.
Schmidt walks away annoyed.
