CATHERINE [thinking to herself]
I have a mom blog, someone to help me out with it, a guy who likes it, even though it's because he thinks it's bad, and the guy likes me too. Connecticut is awesome.
CATHERINE gets a call.
CATHERINE [answering it]
Hello?
NATE
Hey it's me, my mom is in for this whole mom blog thing.
CATHERINE
Awesome!
NATE
She knows I like laughing at this kind of stuff, this'll be great for everyone.
CATHERINE
Does she know that I'm the person who called her from your phone? She probably thinks I'm crazy.
NATE
I'm sure she's fine with it. Oh and I gave her your number.
CATHERINE
Actually I'm getting a call right now...Hello?
MEG
Hey, this Catherine?
CATHERINE
Depends who this is.
MEG
Meg, Nate's mom.
CATHERINE
Nate McButchinson or whatever?
MEG
Close enough. As crazy as this sounds, I'm going to help you out with catherinesmomblog.com. This site has potential.
CATHERINE
You don't actually take it seriously, right?
MEG
No, but you know Nate likes this kind of stuff. We're his two favorite women, nothing could go wrong.
CATHERINE
You really think I'm his second-favorite woman? He likes me that much?
MEG
Oh I have no clue if he likes you or not, you're number two of two. But that kid needs some girl to talk to other than me.
CATHERINE
Don't even tell me you're moving to Poland.
MEG
No, why?
CATHERINE
Long story. You don't want to hear it. So how are we going to improve mymomblog.com? I mean, catherinesmomblog.com?
MEG
Easy, you do the picture posting and I do the writing.
CATHERINE
And how will this make sure Nate likes me? Also, are we sure I want Nate to like me?
MEG
I don't know if you're sure you should like him, but I am. For my own sake. Come on, put a couple pictures in a draft and I'll come up with something.
CATHERINE uploads a couple pictures of her "kids as animated people" to a draft, and MEG writes things about them. They continue to do this for several days, totaling 20 posts and 38 page views.
CATHERINE [getting a call]
Hello?
NATE
Your mom blog with my mom is genius. I've laughed so much.
CATHERINE
Thanks! I'm thinking of taking a break from it though. I can only find so many fake kids.
NATE
Use your real kids.
CATHERINE
I've gone through those pictures a long time ago.
NATE
Oh, then I can't blame you.
CATHERINE
Also I have to come clean: your mom is only doing this because she wants to make sure you like me.
NATE [smiling]
I know. That's why I got her attached to this in the first place.
CATHERINE
Not sure if that's creepy or cute.
NATE
Probably both.
CATHERINE
Creepily cute?
NATE
Sure...wait, do I hear my mom in the background?
CATHERINE
Oh, yeah. She's making herself a coffee.
NATE
OK...why?
CATHERINE
I'm not really sure, I think we're roommates now though. I won't complain because apparently I still have to pay rent on this place and God knows I have no money. Found out a little too late all the family's money was in my ex-husband's bank account.
NATE
Oof. I'll let you deal with my mom now. Good luck. [hangs up]
MEG
Hey, you have cream and sugar?
CATHERINE
Look under the cupboards, maybe the guys who used to live here had some.
MEG
Wow you really are poor.
CATHERINE
Yep.
MEG
You know Nate has a good deal of money, right?
CATHERINE
Oh yeah. And I promise I didn't learn that at the very beginning.
MEG
Whatever. Do me a favor, will you? [long pause]
CATHERINE
Are you waiting for me to say 'what' or did you forget what you were going to say?
MEG
Say what.
CATHERINE
What?
MEG
Marry him.
CATHERINE [laughing]
We haven't even talked about if we're girlfriend/boyfriend yet, and more importantly, who gets to be the girlfriend.
MEG
Huh?
CATHERINE
Nevermind.
MEG
You don't have a job, you don't have money, and I heard you talking to yourself when I was opening the door, don't pretend like your life is all together.
CATHERING
No, my life isn't all together. I'm not gonna propose to him.
MEG
At least establish yourself as the girlfriend. I have to leave now.
CATHERINE [to herself]
Wow, am I in way over my head? Nah. I might marry rich! Actually, we might not even be dating yet.
CATHERINE
Am I dating his mom?
CATHERINE [to herself]
I need to figure out if we're dating, and then I'll finally have my life together.
