"BASIC ROCKET SCIENCE: EXTRA"
INT. GREENDALE STUDY ROOM
Annie Edison, Abed Nadir, Troy Barnes, Jeff Winger, Shirley Bennett, and Pierce Hawthorne are all holding plastic glasses filled with sparkling grape juice. They are celebrating their recent victory over City College and their escape from the Kentucky Fried Chicken Space Simulator.
JEFF
To Greendale: It may not be the best or the brightest and it may have a crass school flag, but it's the school that brought our study group together and that is a beautiful thing. Cheers.
ALL
Cheers!
They click their plastic glasses together and drink. The door to the study room is thrown open and Ivy Reed storms in.
IVY
I spent two weeks making a custom space suit for Leonard with a stupid butthole patch because you submitted a dumb flag and we didn't even get to use it because you all stole got the stupid fake chicken rocket towed!
The group looks at itself, scolded.
BRITTA
(loudly whispering)
Is that the comic book girl?
IVY
Someone is wearing my costume.
The group looks amongst itself. No one says anything. Slowly, Troy brings his finger to his nose. Everyone's fingers shoot up, but Jeff's.
JEFF
Oh, come on.
EXT. GREENDALE QUAD
Jeff is standing by the foundation, wearing the space suit. It is too short for him and his ankles are exposed. The shoulders are tight as well. The group laughs. Britta takes pictures with her phone.
JEFF
I look ridiculous.
IVY
You're taller than Leonard...and broader.
ABED
It's good craftsmanship.
IVY
Thank you. I did a lot of cosplay when I worked at the comic shop.
ABED
Cool. Cool cool cool.
ANNIE
Aw, Jeff. It's not that bad.
Dean Craig Pelton approaches. He stops when he sees Jeff.
DEAN
Jeffrey, you're looking - well, it's a little tight, but tight isn't a bad look for you.
JEFF
I'm taking this off.
Jeff storms off.
BRITTA
(calling after him)
I've got pictures!
DEAN
Can you send those to me?
"MESSIANIC MYTHS AND ANCIENT PEOPLE - CONTINUED"
INT. GREENDDALE LUNCHROOM
Abed Nadir is dressed in his "Son of God" persona, including a wing of long black hair, leather pants, and a shirt that is button very very low.
Ivy Reed is watching in the crowd, looking skeptical. Ben Chang approaches her.
CHANG
Hey, you're that music student, right?
IVY
You used to be a professor, right?
There is a long uncomfortable silence.
CHANG
Your presence is requested by Abed. The head of the music department recommended you to write a score for this movie.
IVY
Seriously?
CHANG
Come with me.
Reluctantly, Ivy follows Chang. He leads her to Abed.
CHANG (CONT'D)
She's the one, Abed.
ABED
You are the piano player - the master of the keys.
IVY
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
ABED
My film about us and about life needs a score. For the credits only. For the scenes, life is it's own score.
IVY
Yeah, whatever.
ABED
So you will do as I ask?
IVY
Stop talking like that.
Ivy walks off. She runs into Annie Edison.
ANNIE
You're Ivy. From Anthropology.
IVY
What happened to Abed?
ANNIE
Oh, he's doing a movie thing. He does this sometimes.
IVY
Sometimes?
ANNIE
Kind of a lot actually, but he'll be on to the next thing soon. Pretty cool, right?
IVY
I'm not sure how I feel about this piece it's a little...I don't know.
ANNIE
Yeah, but he's got a good sense for these things. Just wait.
INT. GREENDALE HALLWAY
The Anthropology class has ended and students are pouring into the hallway. Ivy calls out to Abed.
IVY
Abed! Wait up.
Abed steps to the side. Ivy joins him. They walk together.
IVY (CONT'D)
So, I guess that movie's off.
ABED
Yeah, I won't be finishing it.
IVY
Guess I won't be scoring the credits then.
ABED
I guess not, but thanks for agreeing to do it. I didn't know you were interested in scoring films.
IVY
Yeah. It's something I'm trying out while I'm here. I tried to convince the Dean to build an elevator just so I could make the music. I'm sorry you didn't get to finish your movie.
ABED
It's okay.
IVY
It's probably for the best though.
ABED
What do you mean?
IVY
I just...it wasn't my favorite. I didn't like the long hair.
ABED
Me either. The movie was a mess.
IVY
You should keep the leather pants though.
Ivy bumps her shoulder against his and walks off.
INT. GREENDALE STUDY ROOM
The whole gang, minus Pierce and Annie, is sitting in their respective seats. Jeff is on his phone, Britta is doodling, Shirley is studying, and Troy and Abed are reading a comic. Annie comes running into the study room, flushed and excited.
ANNIE
You'll never believe who's on campus?
TROY
John F. Kennedy?
ANNIE
Troy, Elvis is dead.
TROY
That's why I wouldn't believe it.
ANNIE
Stanley Winters is on campus.
TROY
Who?
ANNIE
Don't you guys watch the news? He's the weather guy.
BRITTA
Which one?
ANNIE
The young one. With the dimples.
SHIRLEY
Ohh! I do like dimples.
JEFF
(to Britta)
You know the weatherman?
BRITTA
I watch the news. I keep up with the world, Jeff.
ANNIE
Guys! This is serious. He's practically a celebrity.
TROY
Is he though?
Ivy enters the study room. She takes Pierce's seat and turns to Shirley.
IVY
I am in desperate need of your help.
SHIRLEY
Me?
IVY
The drama club has mysteriously lost some costumes despite the room being locked and only myself and the dean having keys.
SHIRLEY
That's terrible.
JEFF
The Dean took them.
SHIRLEY
But how can I help?
IVY
We're having a bake sale -
SHIRLEY
I do love baking!
IVY
No one is coming to our bake sale if we don't have your brownies. Please please say -
Just then, Stanley Winters enters in an expensive looking suit. Annie squeals and Britta fixes her hair.
ANNIE
You're on TV! I mean, welcome to Greendale.
STANLEY
It's good to be here. Always nice to meet a fan.
BRITTA
What are you doing on campus? Not that we aren't happy to have you. We are.
STANLEY
Well, I'm looking for a girl.
BRITTA
What kind of girl.
Stanley laughs. He points to Ivy.
STANLEY
That one.
IVY
I told you not to come here.
STANLEY
Your Dean invited me to teach a class.
IVY
In weathermanning?
STANLEY
He didn't say. Just asked me to lunch to talk about it.
IVY
You couldn't just call me back?
STANLEY
You weren't answering my calls. You're avoiding me.
IVY
Shouldn't that tell you something?
STANLEY
Come on.
IVY
Fine. Hallway.
STANLEY
But I didn't catch these lovely ladies' names.
BRITTA
I'm Britta! Like the water filter.
Ivy gets up and pulls Stanley out of the room.
JEFF
Like the water filter?
BRITTA
Shut up.
ANNIE
Are you seriously interested in the weather man?
BRITTA
You are.
ANNIE
Yeah, but he's twenty-five.
BRITTA
How do you know that?
ANNIE
I did my research.
BRITTA
And so what? I can't date a slightly younger man?
ANNIE
Depends on what you mean by slightly.
BRITTA
He can't even take you to a bar.
JEFF
Ladies, please. He's clearly dating Ivy.
BRITTA
She didn't seem to happy with him.
ANNIE
Besides...Abed likes.
TROY
What? Abed, you didn't tell me that.
ABED
I never said that. I don't know what you mean. Annie is making assumptions.
SHIRLEY
Well, I certainly think Ivy is a nice girl.
JEFF
You just like her because she likes your baking.
SHIRLEY
Everyone likes my baking.
ABED
I have said nothing about romantic interest. Nothing at all.
ANNIE
Well, I think she likes you.
TROY
He can't date a girl who doesn't like the Crimson Comet.
JEFF
That doesn't leave a lot of options.
BRITTA
I bet I could land the weatherman.
ANNIE
The fact that you said "land" shows how out of touch you are with the times. Besides, he's not the type you just land. He's the real deal type.
BRITTA
You want to marry the weatherman?
ANNIE
I didn't say that, but it's an option. If we dated for two to three years, then maybe.
JEFF
Are we seriously fighting over the weatherman? Come on. Look at him.
The group all looks to the window. Ivy has her fingers in her ears so that she can't hear Stanley. Stanley pulls a hand out of her ear and she blows a raspberry at him, spitting in his face. He ruffles her hair. Ivy goes to return to the study room and the group looks away. She opens the door.
IVY
(over her shoulder; to Stanley)
I'll call you later!
The group pretends they weren't watching. Ivy returns to sits beside Shirley.
IVY (CONT'D)
So about the bakesa-
ANNIE
(interrupting)
Are you dating the weatherman?
IVY
No!
ANNIE
Did you ever?
IVY
Absolutely not.
BRITTA
Is he dating anyone?
IVY
I don't think so.
SHIRLEY
You can't blame the girls. He has nice dimples and a firm - personality.
IVY
Gross.
ANNIE
If you didn't date, how do you know him?
IVY
He's my brother.
BRITTA
Oh.
ANNIE
I didn't think -
ABED
There were no real signs of dating. She did spit on him.
TROY
Can he help Abed and I produce a talk show?
IVY
(to Shirley)
So you'll help with the bake sale?
SHIRLEY
I've love to.
IVY
You are a lifesaver. I'll e-mail you the details.
INT. GREENDALE HALLWAY - BY THE LOCKERS
Abed Nadir and Troy Barnes are walking by the lockers. Down the hall, Ivy Reed is putting books into her locker.
TROY
Hey, the others were wrong, right?
ABED
Usually, but wrong about what?
TROY
Ivy. And you. Liking each other.
ABED
Oh. That.
TROY
I mean, it's fine. I just can't believe you wouldn't tell me.
ABED
I never thought about it. I don't think I like her. Romantically, anyway.
TROY
And you'd tell me if you did?
ABED
Probably not. I don't really know.
TROY
Oh.
ABED
I mean, I wouldn't tell anyone. I don't think I'd tell myself.
TROY
Okay...
ABED
We cool?
TROY
Yeah, I think so.
ABED
Cool. Cool cool cool.
EXT. GREENDALE QUAD: AERODYNAMICS OF GENDER CONTINUED
Ivy Reed sits behind a table with a hand decorated sign "Drama Club Bake Sale!". Her curly brown hair is in two braided pigtails. She has a cash box and a notebook that she is doodling in. Abed Nadir approaches. Ivy slams the notebook shut.
IVY
Hungry?
ABED
Do you draw?
IVY
No. I'm actually really terrible at it.
ABED
Oh. How's the bake sale coming?
IVY
We ran out of Shirley's brownies an hour ago and it's been slow since then. Everything else is store bought...or Leonard's homemade rice crispy treats.
There is a half-empty plate of messy and gooey looking rice crispy treats. Some have sprinkles. None look appealing.
ABED
They seem to be selling.
IVY
Every twenty minutes I throw one out. Leonard keeps coming to check. Last time no one bought one and he flipped the table over.
ABED
Ah. I see. One rice crispy treat, please.
Ivy places the desert on a napkin. Abed gives her fifty cents.
IVY
You're a brave soul, Abed Nadir.
ABED
My friends think I like you.
IVY
Oh.
ABED
I don't think I do. Do you like me?
IVY
What?
ABED
We haven't had a lot of development. Maybe in two seasons.
IVY
Did you come over here to tell me that you don't like me?
ABED
And tell you that your pigtails make you look like a high schooler.
And support the drama club. Even though their shows are bad.
IVY
Thank you for your support. Goodbye.
ABED
You seem angry.
IVY
Leave, Abed.
Abed Nadir exits. Pierce Hawthorne comes up to the table.
PIERCE
My study group is talking about you.
IVY
Would you like to buy a cookie?
PIERCE
No.
IVY
Rice crispy treat?
PIERCE
Gross.
IVY
Chocolate covered pretzels?
PIERCE
No.
IVY
Then leave.
PIERCE
You're Abed's friend.
IVY
I most certainly am not.
PIERCE
You look familiar.
IVY
We go to Greendale together.
PIERCE
No...that's not it.
IVY
Garrett! Take over the table.
Ivy grabs her notebook and backpack and storms off. Garrett takes her seat.
GARRETT
Would you like to buy a rice crispy treat made by Leonard?
PIERCE
Buzz off, nerd.
Pierce leaves the table.
INT. GREENDALE GIRLS WASHROOM
Ivy is standing at the sink, looking at herself in the mirror. Her mascara is smudge and her face is pink. She pulls out one braid. Annie enters. She stops.
ANNIE
Hey.
IVY
Hi.
ANNIE
Are you okay?
IVY
I'm fine.
Ivy turns to Annie.
IVY (CONT'D)
Do braids make me look like a child?
ANNIE
Well, I think you'd look better with two.
Ivy pulls out the other braid.
ANNIE (CONT'D)
Let me guess. Abed?
IVY
Why does everyone think I like him?
ANNIE
Britta and I actually turned him into a mean robot. This girl was being really mean and...Well, you don't need the whole story.
IVY
Whatever. It's stupid.
ANNIE
I like braids. Don't let Abed change your mind.
IVY
He came up to the table at the bake sale to tell me that he doesn't like me.
ANNIE
Oh!
IVY
I'm being dumb.
ANNIE
You're not. That's really mean.
IVY
I don't even - I never said -
Her phone rings. She pulls it out of her pocket.
IVY (CONT'D)
It's my brother.
ANNIE
The weatherman?
IVY
I have to take this.
Ivy starts to leave, but then turns around.
IVY (CONT'D)
Hey Annie?
ANNIE
Yeah?
IVY
Thanks.
Ivy exits. Annie smiles at herself in the mirror.
INT. GREENDALE HALLWAY
Ivy is walking out of a classroom. Abed joins her.
ABED
I owe you an apology.
IVY
I hear you owe a lot of people apologies.
ABED
I do, but mostly you. So, I'm sorry.
IVY
Why'd you even do it?
ABED
I got worried. About liking a girl. Potentially.
IVY
So you do like me?
ABED
I'm not sure. I would need to do a further study.
IVY
Well, you can make it up to me.
ABED
How?
IVY
It's chicken nugget day in the cafeteria. I'll let you buy me some.
ABED
Cool. Cool cool cool.
