Gayby Page #2

Synopsis: Jenn and Matt are best friends from college who are now in their thirties. Single by choice, Jenn spends her days teaching hot yoga and running errands for her boss. Matt suffers from comic-book writer's block and can't get over his ex-boyfriend. They decide to fulfill a promise to have a child together... the old fashioned way. Can they navigate the serious and unexpected snags they hit as they attempt to get their careers and dating lives back on track in preparation for parenthood? 'Gayboy' is an irreverent comedy about friendship, sex, loneliness, and the family you choose.

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

for you at the front desk.

Fine.

How do I always

get stuck doing this?.

Because I took on more classes

and more responsibility

and made her stop treating

me like an assistant.

Why are all

of his pictures shirtless?.

He gets hot easily.

I can't believe you

didn't tell me about Randall.

How is you knowing

who Tom's dating

gonna make

anybody's day better?.

Especially mine.

- What's he like?.

- Who cares?.

Why don't we keep

the focus on you.

When are you gonna

try dating again?.

Well, I joined one of those

websites and I had a date.

What kind of a date?.

Which website?.

I am familiar

with many websites.

I think it was

called Buddy Search.

Dude Hunt.

Yeah, that's it.

These sconces are so

whimsical and unique.

How much for the pair?.

Those actually

don't have a price.

If you're interested

you can leave a bid,

and we'll get back to you.

Unique whimsy

is very in...

right now.

What's with this beard?.

I'm becoming a bear.

I've decided to explore my

butch and masculine sides.

Aren't those...

kind of the same thing?.

I have no idea.
