a suitcase, Jenn?.

You didn't get my email?.

No, when did you send it?.

Like twenty minutes ago.

Oh, I didn't get it cause

I had turned my phone off,

so I could give

my full attention to...

Adrian.

Matt always forgets names

when he first meets people.

His mom smoked

when she was pregnant.

- Jenn.

- What?. It's true.

Oh, and I'm having my

apartment painted,

and it's not good for me

to be around the fumes

when we're trying

to have a baby.

Jenn and I are

trying to have a baby.

Oh, the city needs

more children.

So, can I stay for a few days?.

Yeah, sure.

Oh, and I think

today is day one.

I thought it was

gonna be tomorrow,

but the thermometer

says that it's today.

That is so my cue to leave.

Thanks for getting him ready.

Sure.

Have fun breeding.

I'm sorry.

It was really good to meet you.

[sighs]

Sorry I chased away Adrian.

He was cute.

Oh, it's okay.

I have a date

every night this week.

It's getting hard to schedule

because of all the responses.

I have a date with

one of my two responses.

Well, you have him

meet you here, missy,

because my baby mama

doesn't go out with anyone

unless I meet him first,

you understand me?.

Yes, daddy.

Just before our date

he should meet my gay lover.

That's right.

Wait, were you gonna

have sex with Adrian?.

No...

God, I just kissed him

so he'd shut up.

You're the only man for me.

- Aw.

- It's true.

- Let's spoon.

- Okay.

Okay.

I mean...

Just a little tighter.

[door squeaks open]

Wow, that's...

that's, really good.

- Hey.

- Hey.

How did Parker like the books?.

Good memory.

He sent me back for more.

I think he's hooked.

- That's great.

- Yeah.

I'm gonna be closing soon,

so feel free to look around.

- Sure.

- I'll just lock up.

Okay.

This is the best out of what

we have that's age appropriate.

Wow, that's great.

Thank you so much.

Anything good come out

this week for adults?.

- The new FF is really great.

- Yeah?.

Susan is totally

flirting with Namor,

who I always thought

was a lot cooler than Reed.

Oh, come on!

I mean sure,

Mr. Fantastic is nerdy,

but he can stretch any part

of his body any way he wants.

So, I mean how could she

not be satisfied at home?.

That's true.

I always kinda had

a thing for Johnny.

- Oh, yeah, he's hot.

- Right?.

I mean he is the Human Torch.

So, is he your favorite?.

Yeah...

I like the way

Derington draws his ass.

Are you flirting with me?.

What made you think that?.

Oh... I'm sorry.

I feel dumb.

I always think it's

happening when it's not,

and then when it actually is

happening, I have no idea.

It's okay.

It's happening.

What does the Human Torch say?.

He says, "Flame on."

?

I'm sorry--

You have a wife and a son.

I don't go down low.

I think it's...

I don't do down low.

I don't...

I don't do that either.

Yeah, I'm divorced.

And my son's with

his mom so I'm...

Are you out?.

I... I am now.

?

I can't do this here.

It's just too weird.

You wanna go back to my place?.

- Yeah, where's your place?.

- Like ten blocks away.

Okay. Wait, that sounds

like kind of far.

Yeah.

Can we just

keep it above the waist?.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

No down low...

Either way.

[doorbell chimes]

Please tell me

you're here for me.

I'm here for you.

You're not here for me,

are you?.

And you're not Matt, are you?.

- No, I'm Jenn.

- I'm Daniel.

- Hello, Daniel.

- Hi.

Matt's still at work,

he'll be back home soon.

You want to go and sit down?.

Yeah, sure. Thanks.

I gotta finish my makeup -

for my date.

- You look great to me.

- Thank you.

I might have to switch teams.

Story of my life.

Aw.

We'll see about that.

[doorbell chimes]

Daniel! Can you get that?.

Sure.

Hi...

Jenn?.

How'd you guess?.

Be right out!

- Do you wanna sit down?.

- Sure.

Things are looking up.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom...

Unless you need to.

No, I did already...

In the hallway.

Okay.

Daniel...

No. I'm Adam.

Dan's in the bathroom.

I'm here for Jenn.

Dan's a looker though.

Score.

- So he is here?.

- Yes, he is.

Damn.

You're late.

I totally forgot I had a date.

How could you

forget you have a date?.

You have a date every night.

Who forgets that?.

Date... Every... Night.

You look really pretty.

Thanks.

I met Adam.

He seems nice and cute.

Oh, I haven't seen him yet.

But I saw Daniel.

He's adorable.

You wanna trade?.

I think I'm tired of dating.

Your life is hard.

Oh, I should probably

have sex tonight.

You're gonna have sex with

that guy on the first date?.

You better use a condom.

Thanks, dad.

I meant us.

Oh, right.

Yeah, just text me and let me

know how your date is going,

and then I'll end mine

around the same time.

- Okay?.

- Okay.

Well, let's go meet

our gentlemen callers.

Okay.

?

Well, you're welcome

to come in if you want,

but I have to let you go

when my friend comes home.

Well, we could always go

back to my place in Astoria.

I mean, if you want.

As tempting as that sounds,

I can't.

Astoria is very tempting.

I told my friend Jenn that

I'd be here when she gets home.

Well, maybe we can

meet up again sometime?.

Yeah.

Hi, guys!

How was your date?.

It was nice.

It was really nice.

How was your date?.

What did you guys do?.

We had Moroccan.

- Date... You get it?.

- Stuffed dates.

Oh.

Did you get stuffed...

Date?.

You know, you're funny.

I... You're funny.

Yeah, but you're more funny.

I'm funny.

You know what you are?.

- What?.

- You're Moroccan.

- Ah...

- Mo' rockin.

- You're Mo' rockin.

- I like that.

- Show 'em the feet.

- All right.

- Do the feet.

- Ready?.

[soft-shoe tapping]

- Yeah, I wanna see you again.

- I wanna see you again.

We're going on a second date.

You going on a second date?.

Okay, Jenn, I think

you should get to bed.

No, you go to the bed

and I'll be in in a minute.

I wanna make out

with the Adam.

Ooh...

- Okay.

- Here.

Well...

It was nice to meet you.

Yes, it was nice

to meet you too.

This way.

Should l?.

No, no it's fine.

I'll email you sometime, okay?.

Woo...

Oh...

It helps to have someone get

you all revved up before that.

Daniel didn't rev me up.

How could you not like Daniel?.

I thought he was

really cute and really fun.

Didn't you think

he was cute, fun?.

Yeah, he was nice.

Adam wasn't so nice.

That's why I liked him.

I think I like someone else.

The guy from last night?.

No...from today.

There was another one

from today?.

He came into the store.

A comic geek,

like nerdy sexy?.

Yeah, kinda.

At first I thought

he was straight,

but then it turned out

he was bi or gay.

I actually don't even

know what he was.

Maybe he was A...

whatever that means.

A?. A is for ally.

I'm A.

I'm ally. I earned that.

Don't give that to him.

Adam begins with an A.

He gets an A in tongue.

Yeah, so does Scott.

He graduates Magna Cum Hot-tay.

Jenn, your sister's here.

I put her in Studio B.

Hurry it up.

My sister's here?.

Oh, that's never a good thing.
