She looks just like you.
Kind of, right?.
Sure...in the cheekbones.
Shut up.
- No, she's perfect.
- lsn't she?.
It better go through.
It will. The adoption people
are gonna love you.
So, what do you wanna do?.
Well, this is nice...
what we're doing.
We could talk.
I like talking.
Yeah... I'm not
that big on talking.
Right.
And...I'm not that into nice.
Right.
Wow, I just never thought you'd
be the first one to have a kid.
Why?. 'Cause I'm barren?.
Are you ever gonna let that go?.
I said like three years ago.
Loudly...
At my birthday party.
I just thought it
was the correct term.
I meant that
when we were younger,
you never wanted
to have kids, and I always did.
You'd have to date a guy
longer than five minutes
if you wanna have
a kid with one.
It was five months. Okay?.
The last three,
lasted five to six months.
So, yeah, let that sit.
I'll be right back.
?
[phone beeps]
Do you mind
if I take this text?.
It's my best friend, Jenn.
She just asked me
something really crazy.
Yeah...
I don't really care.
Should we just...
should we just get right to it?.
That's cool. Okay.
You know that thing
when you're looking
for sex on a hook-up site,
and you run into someone who's
looking for something more,
and you're like...
this really
isn't the place for this.
Are we having that moment?.
No, it's just that I haven't
done this since my break-up.
Oh...
This isn't gonna work.
I'm gonna go.
I'm sorry.
It really has just been a while.
Yeah, me too.
Not since Friday.
But I have a backup so I might
still be able to catch him.
Good.
So, yeah...
Good luck.
Well, it was nice to meet you.
And...be safe.
- Hey.
- Hey!.
You look really great!
Oh, shut up.
I've gained like four pounds
since you saw me last.
No, you look good.
Thanks.
It's all muscle.
How's the yoga studio?.
Oh, it's good.
We're doing Bikram now.
Unofficially.
Bikram...
Is that the yoga
where they cook you?.
It's hot yoga.
Oh, yeah...
You don't like it?.
I took a class once;,
I didn't like it.
For some people it's
a very spiritual experience.
Yeah, because they're
dying of thirst.
- I missed you.
- I missed you too.
It's been a month.
That's too long.
Well, you moved to Brooklyn.
Yeah, well--
But I check your
status updates every day.
You know Brooklyn
isn't really that far.
And I have an entire floor
for my comic book collection,
so it's actually really cool.
So, what do you think?.
Well, I'm thinking about it.
That's why I'm here.
Thank you.
We've been talking
about it forever.
Yeah, I know.
(both)
Since college, yeah.
Were you thinking that you'd
just want it for yourself,
or do you wanna share it?.
I wanna share it.
You want to share
the responsibility?.
- It's a lot of responsibility.
- Yeah, I want to share it.
And then we'll get to see
each other more often.
You're sure you don't wanna...
I don't know...
wait around for the
right guy to come along?.
Wait around for the right
straight guy in New York City?.
- I don't know, get married?.
- Married?. Please.
What about you?.
Have you been dating again?.
No...
No, not since Tom.
Yeah, he wasn't right for you.
Well, it took me about
Takes time.
If we did this...
should we just call a doctor,
and make an appointment
or something?.
No, I don't want
to do fertility specialists.
I watched my sister
go through that.
Oh, yeah, poor Kelly.
It's so expensive, and I don't
even really trust those doctors.
They get things mixed up
like you wind up with...
someone else's baby,
someone else's sperm.
I can't...
I can't deal with that.
So then should I just
go in the bathroom,
jerk off into a cup,
put it in a turkey baster
or something?.
No!
I don't even have
a turkey baster.
Well, how do you wanna do this?.
I wanna do it
the old fashioned way.
Surprise...
Whoa! What?.
Are you just trying to get some?.
Gross! What?. No!
Come on, we did this in college.
Yeah, we did it in college,
but we were really
drunk when we did it.
Do you want to get really drunk?.
And you stopped
talking to me
for like a whole month
afterwards, remember?.
You showed up at my
and you ruined it.
For the millionth time,
I am sorry.
And I did not stop talking
to you because we had sex.
Well, then why did you?.
Who remembers?.
I certainly don't.
Hey, do you think that you can?.
Can what?.
Have sex with me?.
What is this - a dare?.
Yes, I can have sex with you.
You can do it?.
Yes, I can.
I'm a guy,
I can put it in anything.
Okay, then I'll get
an ovulation kit,
which tells you
when you're ready.
But according to my
lunar calendar,
I'm about a week.
And then I'll just...
come over.
You agreeing to this?.
I think I am.
Yeah, then you're just
gonna come on over,
and we're gonna make a baby.
I stopped reading Spider-Man
ever since he made
that deal with the devil.
I was such
a huge Mary Jane fan.
I don't know why
they screwed that up.
I'm sticking to the X Books.
At least when Cyclops
psychically cheated
with Emma Frost on Jean Grey,
who we all know
is the love of his life,
at least there was
a little build up.
It didn't happen overnight.
And they didn't need the
devil to magically swoop in
and say, oh,
suddenly you're not--
Hey, Tom.
Hey, Matt.
- Hi.
- Hey.
It's Thursday.
What are you doing here?.
You're supposed to
come in on Wednesdays.
I know, I'm sorry.
I gave up my shift
on Wednesdays,
so you could come in
on new book day.
It's cool because, you know,
we have a deal, so...
So why are you here?.
Randall's parents are in town.
And you know how they
re-opened the crown
over at the Statue of Liberty?.
You can go up there now.
You should go it's great.
Who's Randall?.
Oh, I thought Nelson
maybe would have told you.
No.
I met a new guy.
Oh.
- He's Randall.
- Oh, cool.
He's really nice.
It's been like a month.
We met at the gym.
Yeah, Nelson didn't tell me.
Did the new
Wonder Woman come out?.
It comes out next week...
On Wednesday.
Would you hold
a copy for me?.
Well, there'll be
plenty of copies.
Only gay guys
read Wonder Woman.
I read it sometimes.
Okay, I'll come back on
Wednesday and I'll pick that up.
Yeah, great.
Hey, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I came in
on the wrong day.
Is he your Jean Grey?.
I can't believe
you didn't ask me.
Our child would be gaymazing.
I know, but Matt's
my best friend.
I thought I was.
You are my best friend...
from work.
Can he compete with this?.
Who could?.
Show me a picture.
Jenn, Linda wants you to run
this bill to the post office.
She said it needs
to go out ASAP.
Why can't you do it?.
I'm the receptionist.
I have to sit at the
front desk and receive.
I have a master's degree.
Why would I want to
be a messenger too?.
Can't you get
someone else to do it?.
Linda feels that hierarchy
isn't what we're about here,
so everyone has to chip in.
This will be waiting
