OPEN: CATHERINE and NATE in their bedroom.
NATE
I had the craziest idea.
CATHERINE
Probably not. I’m sure I heard crazier.
NATE
What if we adopt the kids?
CATHERINE
Did you think I wanted to adopt a 40-year-old man?
NATE
I don’t think you understand what I mean. I mean Mary and David’s kids.
CATHERINE
You mean...adopt my nephews who I barely ever see or talk to?
NATE
Yeah. Especially if they’ll have a part on your blog.
CATHERINE
That’s not happening. Can you even adopt your own family members?
NATE
I have no clue. Maybe if you’re their godmother?
CATHERINE
Mary and David aren’t that stupid.
NATE
So you’re not their godmother?
CATHERINE
Nope. And you know what? I really don’t know what I want. Maybe adopt. Maybe conceive. Maybe kidnap.
NATE
Kidnap?!?!?
CATHERINE
It’s taking a random kid and raising them as your own.
NATE
That’s illegal and you’d get a really long sentence for it. Not to mention how immoral it is.
CATHERINE
I’m just messing with you!
NATE
You better be!
CATHERINE
This adoption thing just sounds...not for me now that you bring up adopting family members.
NATE
So, you want to conceive?
CATHERINE
Why not?
NATE
Just making sure you do.
CATHERINE
I do.
NATE
Now?
CATHERINE
Why not?
FAST FORWARD 30 MINUTES.
NATE
That was awesome!!!!!!
CATHERINE
Uh...yeah.
NATE
Something wrong?
CATHERINE
Sarcasm, Nate.
NATE
Better or worse than Will?
CATHERINE
Well I divorced Will so there’s your answer.
NATE
How many people have success their first try?
CATHERINE
I don’t know, but honestly, hopefully soon because I don’t want to become a mother too much later than I become a grandmother.
NATE
Britney’s kid might have an aunt or uncle younger than them?
CATHERINE
OK, I know the timing of everything is weird but it’s just the way it worked out.
NATE
And you want this kid for more than just your mom blog, right?
CATHERINE
Of course! I kind of feel like I screwed up with William. Don’t get me wrong, one of them turned out like me, but do I really want that?
NATE
I have no way of answering that. You’re definitely mature now.
CATHERINE
Yeah but I just made some mistakes in my lifestyle when I was younger. This is my chance to start over.
NATE
I’m glad I can be of help.
CATHERINE
While we’re on the topic of the mom blog though...maybe we should try to promote it?
NATE
How would we do that?
CATHERINE
Spread the word somehow.
NATE
That’s not very helpful, Catherine.
CATHERINE
I know. I’m the one who comes up with ideas, I have no idea how to execute this.
NATE
How about we partner with Shut This Off You Idiot?
CATHERINE
That might work. It’d be odd, but it’s something to try.
NATE
I’ll call Chris, Julian, and...what’s the third one’s name?
CATHERINE
I forget. But yeah, call them up.
