The Back-up Plan Page #2

when we don't have a penis partner.

-That's right.

-So let's hear about you.

Oh, okay. Let's see.

Well, l own a pet store.

Yeah. l used to work in the corporate

world, which was great for a while...

...but it just didn't feel like the life

that I wanted to live.

So now l'm happy on the work front,

but you know.

I don't know.

Even though l have more balance...

...it's personal.

I still haven't found "the one,"

so that's why l'm....

Well, the elusive one.

-Good luck.

-Yeah, right.

If l had a dollar for every time

I heard that.

I thought I'd be married with kids

by now...

...but that's just not happening...

...so l guess it's time for

my backup plan. So....

Well, Zoe, listen.

If you really want a baby...

...we here at

Single Mothers and Proud...

...can be your partners.

From inception to graduation,

everything in between.

We can be here for you.

Great.

Thank you.

Dakota was born right here.

In this very room.

-Right where you're sitting, actually.

-Really?

Right here?

Imagine that. Funny.

So how old is your baby now?

I'm 3.

So cute.

Why do you need a support group?

-You're not very supportive.

-What?

You just told me that if

I breast-feed...

...my girls are gonna wind up

looking like empty tube socks.

Hey, I'm just being honest.

Don't even get me started on

what childbirth does to your bladder.

What does it do to your bladder?

I think I just peed a little bit.

I don't think l'm pregnant anyway.

Doctor says it takes a few tries.

Something about frozen sperm

being lazy.

Oh, come with me for a minute.

I have to make some muffins for some

bullshit teacher-appreciation day.

-You're gonna make muffins?

-Oh, hell, no.

But there's a place here

that sells them.

I pick out the worst ones

and l pretend I made them.

Come on.

Okay, which is the ugliest?

Seems like a lot of trouble

for something trivial.

Welcome to motherhood.

-There's that guy.

-What guy?

The one selling cheese. l know him.

He's hot.

-He sells cheese?

-You sell hamsters.

-Can l help you ladies?

-No. We're good, thank you.

Like what you see?

-What?

-Just talking about the muffins.

-Hey, you.

-Hey.

Hi. What a nice surprise.

How did you know l worked here?

I didn't.

Oh, okay.

Did you follow me here?

Follow you?

To the farmers' market?

Are you kidding me?

No, we came to buy muffins.

You were here. Tell him.

You better buy something.

You ate all my samples.

Well, it's really nice to see you,

but I never got your name. l'm Stan.

-Oh, Zoe.

-Zoe.

I'm Mona. So how do you two

not know each other?

-He stole my cab.

-She stole my cab.

Okay.

We should go.

-We should?

-Yeah, we have that important thing.
