Endless love (Schmidt)

Pilot- part two

Ramona woke to the sound of the dirty dancing movie again and groaned, "Not again." She quickly got dressed and walked out. "Jess, sweetie-" she paused when she noticed Jess was on the phone

"Hey, are you gonna murder me 'cause you're a stranger I met on the internet?" Jess asked

Ramona went to answer, but Nick walked past her and answered instead, "Yes, I am."

Ramona rolled her eyes and followed him into the kitchen

Schmidt ran up to Nick and Ramona with coach trailing behind

"So the wild west party's on Saturday. I'm trying to get us in, but you may need to call Caroline." Schmidt informed, which made Ramona's head snap toward him

"He shouldn't do that," Ramona told him

"I'm not calling Caroline," Nick told him

"Nick, hear me out..."

Ramona rolled her eyes. "Are you not hearing yourself right now?"

Nick pointed to Jess, who happened to be singing, "We are in this situation because of you."

Ramona watched her punch a pillow. "We'll work you up to the real thing later!" she called out to Jess.

"It has been a week of this madness. I'm going crazy, Schmidt. I can't take it." Nick continued

"Know what? I got this." Coach told us confidently

"Oh, I'd love to see this." Ramona crossed her arms

Coach got up and sat by her. "Stop it. Stop." He pointed at her

"I swear." Ramona muttered to herself before she went over to her; by the time she made it to Jess, she was sobbing, "Ignore him; he doesn't know how to talk to people."

Coach put his hands up defensively and walked away

Schmidt came over. "Jess, I'm gonna take the remote." He took the remote and turned the movie off. He sat where coach was seated. "Hey, Jess, how you doing? You look fantastic. Listen, what if you came out with us tonight? You know, after work. You know, we'll fix you up, we'll take you out, we'll get you a rebound."

Ramona scoffed. "Schmidt..."

Jess perked up. "A rebound?"

"Yeah." Schmidt ignored me and focused on Jess

"I don't know if I'm ready," Jess told him

"You're totally ready for it. I'll take you through the whole thing. You know, I'll... I'll be like your guide."

"Like Gandalf through middle-earth?" Jess asked

"A girl after my own heart." Ramona joked

"Shhh." He silenced her. "Probably not like... okay. First of all, let's take the Lord of the Rings references; let's put them in a deep dark cave, okay, where no one's going to find them." Schmidt told her

"Except for Smeagol." She told him before she whispered, "He lives in a cave."

 Schmidt sighed. "You know what, Jess? Let's just take the head off... Off the couch."

Jess slowly sat up and gave them a smile that looked fake

"Look at that, doesn't that feel good? Doesn't that feel good? There we go." Schmidt looked at Ramona. "Why don't you go pick something out for tonight? I got this."

Ramona rolled her eyes. "Tight purple dress on my hanger. I'm not going anywhere."

Schmidt watched her for a second before he looked at Jess, who finally spoke up. "I think that sounds nice." she sniffled before she sang out. "She's going out to find a rebound; who's that girl? It's Jess."
