The Running Man

[woman] Danny, Sandy.
Classic. Timeless.

Oh.

- You know it.
- I don't think that I do.

Quit messing around, man.

I'm just saying
it's the hand jive, sure.

- But my eyes know it,

- Mm, don't ruin this

- It's Conor.

My bridesmaid entrances
are the stuff of legends.

Ever the bridesmaid.
That is my essence.

- My badge of honor.
You feel me?
- I feel you.

- Do you want this for me?
- I want this for you.

Don't leave me
out there to die, man.

I won't leave you
out there to die.

[MC] Alright, everybody,
the bridal party...

- Okay.
- I'm your boy.

Yeah, you are. Going again.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Excuse me. Does anyone
know who Nellie is?

- Does it matter

- Right on top.

- Nellie? Nellie?
- Nellie, Nellie.

- Hi. Fantastic.
Can you come with me?
- Oh, yes!

Okay. Please excuse us,

Hey, boo.
What's going on?

I-I'm good. I'm good.
Uh, yeah, I'm just, uh...

Yeah. Um, b-bye. Bye, Matilda.

- I wonder if we could
just take--
- Yeah, bye.

Okay.

- You're married. [laughs]

Would you fuck Ron
for the rest of your life?

Oh. W-what?

[stammers] Would you like
to have Ron penetrate you

for the rest of your days
on Earth?

Abso-fucking-lutely.

- Really?
- I should be so lucky.

You're such a good friend.
Do you have anything else?

- Anything...?
- [sniffs]

- I don't have any on me.
- Okay, okay.
But where's your purse?

- Matilda! Matilda!
- [door opens]

Find Nellie's purse.

- We need Nellie's purse.
- Okay, okay. Yep, yep, yep.

- [Sheila sighs]
- [door closes]

- Nellie, it's me. Sheila!
- Yes.

- Yeah, look at me.
- I'm looking at you, babe.

- Look at me.
- I'm looking at you.

We hate these things.

We normally hate these things.
We love these things
when it's you.

Oh, shut up! We fucking
hate these people.

Brides, fucking grooms,
creepy uncles.

Hey, look at you.

You look tragic, bitch.

The fuck are you wearing?

- The dress you chose?
- It's trash! It's trash.

And everyone getting married...
Oh, my God.

It's like they're being inducted
into some sort of cult
of matrimony.

Like they're off
to the mainland,

far from the island
of misfit singles.

I know you have coke, Nell.

Hand it over.

- I didn't bring any.
- Do not lie to me, Nellie!

- Okay, we've got purse.
We really...
- Okay, thank you.

- Thank you, thank you, Matilda.
- ...need to get you
to your reception, Sheila.

- Okay. Fuck off!
- It's just that I can't,
because we have four...

[footsteps tapping]

- Babe? Babe...
- [door creaks, closes]

Babe, I know
you're mad at me.

We were gonna be
the last single bitches
at the end of the Earth.

- I'm not mad at you.
- We still are!

Me and you, baby.

Single bitches for life.

I still don't have coke.

- Goddamn it, I think
I have Molly. Fuck!
- That's my girl!

- That's my girl.
I know my girl.
- I think I only have two pills.

Should I grab Ron?
You guys can do it together.

- Your first role
as a married couple.
- Oh, my God, fuck Ron.

- Okay, okay. Yeah, fuck Ron.
- Fuck Ron. I'm not a wife.

- No.
- I'm not a fucking wife.

- Like, what the fuck?
- No, you're not.

I-- Like, you technically are,
but you're not. I hear you.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Okay.

You know, you--
you have always just stayed.

- You, you,
you don't age one bit.
- Mm-hmm.

You won't be defined
by some dude

- or some baby on your tit.
- Yeah, fuck, no. Hell, no.

You're like, "Fuck it.
I'll put Molly in my clutch
and carry it to a wedding."

- Yes, I will.
- "Fuck everyone!"

- Mm-hmm.
- "Dress slutty if I wanna.
I'll fuck your husband

- if I wanna."
- That was once,
and I'm not proud of it.

To you, Nell. What the fuck
would I do without you?

- [chuckles]
- I'd be stuck
with this clown show

of fucking bridesmaids
and fucking Patricia.

Why the fuck did I make her
a bridesmaid?

- She's Ron's sister.
- She's the fucking worst.

- She's not the best.
- We're gonna stay
like this forever.

- Right? Yeah?
- Let's take this,

- so that we can go
to your wedding, huh?
- Hmm.

- See you later.
- [glasses clink]

Where did you get this?

I think just at the CVS.

How old were you

- Forty.

Forty. Fucking legend.

It was actually the most painful

- No.
- Did IVF for one year,

Not gonna report it, but 50K.

Not gonna happen!

And if you could, you'd be

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

All my single ladies,

Welcome to Reproductive Dreams.

[doctor] Know what
we're looking at?

A baby?

Not yet.

I was testing you
and you passed.

Hmm. Those are your follicles.

And down here,
you look like, I'd say...

- A virgin?
- [doctor chuckles]

Definitely not. Okay.

Now let's, uh,
let's go talk in the room.

Diminished ovarian what?

Diminished ovarian reserve.

Like I said, very common,
but it does compromise
fertility.

I'm 34.

Don't I have another few years

before I start... diminishing?

I don't even know
if I want kids.

- I've seen Euphoria.
- Totally understandable.

But you're telling me
that if I decide
that I do want kids

and I don't do something
about it right now,

then I'll be diminished.

- Well, not necessarily.
- Or I could give you my eggs

and you could freeze them
and then I can thaw them out
someday.

Well, it's not guaranteed,
but it's a pretty good option
to have.

I like options.

And this might not be
the only one.

Plus, there are many ways
to be a mom.

You can adopt, for example.

- There are donor eggs.
- Hmm.

It's kind of like
Russian roulette,
wouldn't you say?

Get like a Jack the Ripper egg.

An incel egg?

That could be one
of your eggs too.

[Nellie] Dare I ask? Ballpark?
What am I looking at?

Give it to me. Just hit me.

- Alright.
- No.

- [paper thuds]
- Just write it down.

Write it down and then just, um,
pass it across the table
like they do in the movies.

And I'll just read it.
I'm gonna read it...

and cry. [sighs]

It was just a joke.

- Exactly.

Yeah, last week

I sent an unsolicited photo
of my vagina

to a guy who ghosted me
six months ago,

and I got no response,
so, I don't know that I'm Heidi.

Egg freezing
is super expensive, right?

- Didn't I hear it causes
early menopause?
- [Jen] Mmm.

And doesn't each frozen egg
have, like, a 5% chance
of becoming an actual baby?

Oh, I don't--
I don't know the stats.

Yeah, that's why
you gotta get, like, 20 eggs.

Most of 'em won't be viable,
and then some
won't survive freezing,

and then thawing
is like a whole other...

- Claire.
- [guests exclaim]

She had to do it,
like, three times.

I mean, the first time around,

she took the wrong, like,
trigger shot or whatever

and then she ovulated
like 12 preemies.

And then she had to do it
all over again,

pay for the drugs
all over again.

And then she only got,
like, seven eggs

and then she had to do it
a third time

just to even have a shot
at getting a baby out of it.

Yeah.

But, hey, I am
so super stoked for you.

[indistinct chatter]

- Do you still talk to Shawn?
- Yeah, yeah.

I-I mean, not so much lately,

I never ask you for anything.

Why would I buy you gifts?

Because you're the man

That is bleak.
That's like so sad.

It's not funny.
Don't smile at that.

That's yucky.

You wanna talk bleak?

If I don't spend 13K
to freeze my eggs,

I might never be able
to have kids.

Meanwhile, you're gonna wait
till you're 70

with your old oatmeal balls
to have a baby
with an influencer.

That is so-- That is-- Okay.

That is accurate
and I'm not embarrassed
about it.

Okay, I'm trolling

- I'll pay you back.

- How?
- Well, I was hoping

that we could talk
specifics later.

Okay. I want interest.

Of course, you do.

And I want half.

Half?

- Oh, you want half.
You want half of my eggs.
- Okay, that's my counter.

- Oh, so here's the thing.
- So take it or fuck off.

You don't get to own
half of my eggs,

because this isn't the fucking

Dude, you are so immature.

You're so fucking immature.

Okay, you know what?
8K. You're gonna get 8K.

And you're gonna have two months
to pay me back with 1K interest.

And if that folds,
you owe me all the eggs.

They're mine, free and clear.

What the fuck are you gonna do
with my eggs, you sicko?

I don't know.
But I'll be able to do
whatever I want with them

and I don't have to tell you,
because they're
my fucking eggs then.

You know what's guaranteed?
Eviction, when you can't pay
your rent.

Well, the universe provides.

Who did--

Don't ever say that again.
Don't ever say that again.

The universe does not provide.

But a husband will.
Go get one of those.

Oh, my God, Dad. A husband.

Yes, I'll just get married,
so that I too can have
a ginger son and a divorce

- by the time I'm 30.
- [Richard] Well, you missed
that boat, didn't you?

You don't get the luxury
of a practice marriage
when you're 33.

I'm 34. You don't even know
how old I am.

Because you were born
so goddamn long ago, I forgot.

You know what?
You should feel guilty.
You should.

- This is your doing,
both of you.
- Yo?

- [Richard] What?
- Actually, the sex talk
you gave me was,

"Don't do it ever,

because you will get pregnant
and your life will be trash."

And then one day I woke up
and you were like,

"Where are my grandkids?
Why aren't you pregnant?

Your life is trash."

That is so false.

You gave me baby shoes
for Christmas.

- It's true, you did.
- They were little moccasins.

Why are you buying me
baby moccasins?
I regifted that shit.

- Why would you do that?
- Uh, because we're not
Native American.

And one more time
for the cheap seats,

I am without child.

They were motivational, Nell.

You're 34 years old.

Well, I'm still
on your Verizon plan.

- Is that true?
- Oh, yeah, we all are.

The family plan. I'm part
of this family, am I not?

Get off the Verizon plan!

What's the matter with you?
Grow up!

Being a woman
is like being an avocado.

You're ripe
for a millisecond,

and then, whoops,
you're brown, geriatric guck.

- No, she's bugging me now.
- You're bugging me now.

- I can't eat.
- Cállate, Richard.

[door opens, closes]

Ma.

- [speaks Spanish]
- Mm-hmm.

Last hurrah.

Mom, I'm gonna sleep here
tonight, okay?

[Sonja] Okay, Anita.

[magical music plays]

["Candy" by Mandy Moore playing]

- Thank you, Phinneas.
- [song ends]

["Dust" by Annie Bosko playing]

Hi. Double vodka soda, please.

Nellie.

[gasps] Oh, my God, Preston!

- Holy shit.
- [chuckles]

You still hang out here?

Ugh. Look who's talking, dick.

- [Nellie chuckles]
- ["Dust" plays]

I haven't been here
since senior year.

- I know that. I'm here a lot.
- [chuckles]

Damn it, I didn't know you came
to the Valley anymore.

I was just looking
for a throwback, I guess.

Who are you with?

Just me.

[Preston]
So what else is going on?

- Oh, you know.
- No, I don't know.

I mean, I know what's going on
on Instagram.

I'll bet you do, stalker.

- You wish.
- You wish I wished.

[Preston chuckles]

- How's work?
- It's fine.

Working with my dad.

- [dart thuds]
- He's still a piece of work.

Dads ain't it, man?

Dads ain't it.

I was sorry to hear
about you and Ember.

Were you?

Yes, I was.

- I want you to be happy.
- Okay.

You should appreciate me
saying that.

- That's very big of me.
- That is big of you.

Considering you cheated on me
at homecoming.

- Yep.
- Mmm.

- I still remember that.
- Very sorry about that.

I was a real piece of shit.

You were, thank you.

Nellie Robinson. Fuck.

- [clicks tongue]
- I always thought you'd be off

- in New York by now.
- New York?

Yeah, didn't you always
use to say that?

That you're gonna
move to New York?

- I said a lot
of things, didn't I?
- Mm-hmm.

- A lot of things.
I was gonna go to UCLA.
- [laughs] It was a reach.

That was a reach.
It was a reach.

Um, I was gonna spend
a few years

- in Paris, right?
- Mmm.

Be a celebrity jewelry designer.

Marry Lance Bass.

Ugh, so close.

- So close.
- [Preston chuckles]

Wait, you are a jewelry designer
though, right?

Not a celebrity one,
no, no, but thank you.

Well, it's never too late.

Now, I was gonna play
for the Niners.

It's never too late.

- Oh, fuck you.
- [laughs]

You know, this place,
not as fun getting in
with a real ID.

Yeah, on most nights.
Wish they would just
tell me to fuck off.

- [laughs]
- Go back to drinking at Lena's,

hooking up in the car.

But only second base.

- Only second base.
- That's right.

I miss those blue balls.

Me too.

Is that your prom dress?

You know it.

[smooches] Finally.

[both moaning]

God, you smell so good.

- I smell good?
- Yeah.

- What do I smell like?
- Oh, like vanilla, cupcakes.

- Cupcakes.
- [moans]

- [both chuckle]
- At the fucking cafeteria.

[Nellie] Cafeteria.

God, remember the time
in the car?

- [exhales deeply]
- [moans] Uh-huh. What time?

- You were wearing
those panties.
- What panties?

Mm, the ones with the...
the Wednesday on the ass.

- [groans]
- Oh.

- Wednesday.
- Mm-hmm. [kisses]

But it was not--
[heavy breathing]

Oh, God, it was a Monday.

[groaning]

[grunts, breathes heavily]

[Preston chuckles, sighs]

Time to pee-pee.

["Dust" resumes playing]

- [music stops]
- [Preston snoring]

[chuckles]

- Well... Oh.
- Mmm.

- [smooches]
- Get home safe.

Yeah.

Hey, I know I don't have
to tell you this,

but let's not talk
about this, right?

- Oh, shit,
I already tweeted it.
- Ha-ha.

Yeah, no, it's just Ember and I
are working on our trust,

- so if she thinks--
- Wait, what?

What?

What about Ember?

We're, you know,
working on stuff. [scoffs]

I thought you got divorced.

We were separated.

Oh, my God, oh, my God.

That was like six months ago.

You're not wearing a ring.

We're getting new ones.
Ember wanted an upgrade.

Oh, fuck me.

Okay. It's okay. Look,

I think this was just
building up for a while, okay?

- And we just--
We needed to do it.
- No, no, no.

I don't know that we did, nope.

Let's just relax and...

I will see you soon.

Cool, see you never.

[door slams]

[slurping]

Ugh.

- Shut up.
- [slurping]

No drinking, not even rosé.

No smoking, not even weed.

One coffee a day.

Yeah. Rough.

How do we feel...
about shrooms?

- [laughs]
- [slight chuckle]

No exercise.

Finally, some good news.

Does that include sex?

Like if I just lied there,
a beached whale.

Honey, you are gonna be
so bloated,

you are not even gonna want to.

But like if I did want to?

Ali, I'm a single
Etsy seller in my 30s.

My vices are kind of
a lifestyle.

No whale sex, copy that.

And you are done.

Last question.

What if I screw this up?

You're not gonna screw this up,
you're gonna do great.

- I flipped a boat.
- There's a boat?

In high school,
on my marine biology trip
to the wetlands.

My teacher said
it would never happen.

It hadn't happened
in 20 years of teaching,

but I was just trying to put
the mud on my face.

She said it was good
for your skin

and I must have
leaned too far over,

because I capsized the canoe.

And my whole boat had to spend
the rest of the day in the van

and everybody
was super pissed at me.

So what if I flip the boat...

- again?
- Okay.

You are not a boat.

I'm not a boat.

You got this.

["Someone Tell the Boys"

[fridge door opens]

Ugh.

[grunts]

Hi, Parveen.

Let's go through the steps
to help you inject Menopur
with confidence.

Place the tip of the Q-cap...

- Oh.
- ...over the top of the vial.

Do not shake the vial
as this will cause air bubbles.

[clacks]

Do not remove the needle cap

until you're ready
for your injection.

Push the plunger down

to empty any remaining air
from the syringe

and tap the barrel
of the syringe,

- so that any air bubbles
rise to the top.
- Right.

This is Nellie Robinson.
Um, I'm trying to reach
somebody, a nurse or anyone.

Uh, I just have a--
a quick question. I'm, um...

I'm doing my first, um,
round of injections

and I just wanted to know,
if I inject an air bubble,
if I die.

Looks like a good spot.

One, two, three.

- [music begins]
- [singer vocalizing]

[sighs]

That was fine. That was fine.
That didn't hurt.

- That didn't hurt.
- [syringe thuds]

That was fine.

- One more.

- [sighs]
- [auto-injector thuds]

Whoo! [heavy breathing]

I'm okay. I'm okay.

[sighs]

[soft music playing]

You know, the size of the eggs
that I'm gonna freeze?

Like the size
of a strand of hair.

- Damn.
- Something the size

of a strand of hair

can change the course
of your entire life.

[Sheila] Girl, one ejaculation
can change the course
of your life.

A single "Hey, stranger" text.
Yeah.

What I did with Preston
could have produced a child.

A bastard child.

Thank God we're in California.

Hey, that just wasn't
your fault.

Oh, I am aware.

I did the ring check,
I brought up the wife,
I was bamboozled.

- Hoodwinked, even.
- Thank you.

That man is so 2000 and late.

- Oh!
- Yeah! Had to bring

- the Black Eyed Peas
into it. Yeah.
- Black Eyed Peas.

He peaked in high school.

- Damn.
- Mm-hmm.

Maybe I peaked in high school.

Girl, you haven't peaked yet.

Yeah, you're right.
I'm like J.Lo. I'm gonna peak

when I'm, like, 80.

- That's the spirit.
- But if I'm like J.Lo,

then why am I borrowing
8K from my brother
to freeze my eggs?

Because you're buying time.

Someone who's good
enough for you
is hard to come by.

I have had sex
with a lot of men, She.

- And I am aware.
- And you're telling me
that none of them

were suitable
for procreation or life?

Am I not suitable for life?

You are very suitable for life.

My mom moved to America,
learned English,

went to college
and grad school in English,

met my dad, fell in love,
got married, had me,

all by the time
she was, like, 27.

She's legit the American dream.
What have I ever done?

You're a legend, that's what.
Do not listen to the hormones.

The hormones are lying to you.

How are you handling
these fuckers so well?

Hmm. [in British accent]
I can, I guess.

You know, in high school,
after we would hook up,
he'd be like...

- "Time to pee-pee."
- "Time to pee-pee." [laughs]

You remember.
She, he still says it.

- No.
- Yes.

Can I help you ladies
with anything?

- Oh, we're good.
Thank you. So much.
- I'm good. Thanks.

Ember married
the "time to pee-pee" guy.

The bar is subterranean.

But you know what,
to be fair to her,
she was a freshman.

She's got on, like,
high school goggles.

I am in no position
to judge, believe me.

- You know what
my biggest pet peeve is?
- Hmm?

"When you're not
looking, Nellie,
that's when you'll find him."

Ugh, I hate that shit so much.

"When you're whole, Nellie,
that's when he'll appear."

Like, okay, Brinley, who was
on every dating app invented,
including Jdate,

- even though she's Catholic?
- Mm-hmm.

- Swiped right on every dude
within a 90-mile radius.
- True.

Told everyone that
if she wasn't engaged by 30,
she'd slit her wrists.

- She did say that. Mm-mm.
- She said that,
remember that shit?

- That was sad.
- Mazel, Brinley.

I guess that's what
wholeness looks like.

Nellie, you could be married
tomorrow if you wanted.

- Just hasn't been a priority.
- Should have been.

You dated a bunch of losers.
And then there was Shawn.

Ooh, I'm sorry to bring him up.

You're telling me the only guy
that I have ever dated

that was worthy of procreation
was Shawn?

- Correct.
- I find that statistically
hard to believe.

Mm, yes.

- [door opens]
- [bell rings]

One of the guys from the pile

- has to be worth a second shot.
- Do they?

Yes! I mean, think about it.
Finally over his ex.

Over his Peter Pan syndrome.
Over the apps.

Over living
with three roommates,

eating Chipotle every night
like an animal.

Maybe it's time
to get proactive.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

- I have to fart.
- Throwback to...

- I have to fart
and I'm gonna fart.
- Okay.

- Might wanna...
tsk, head that way.
- Yeah, I'm gonna...

- Ma'am, hold your nose.
- Okay.

- Which sort of feels
like punishment

for not finding my person.

And honestly, maybe,
maybe I'm the problem.

Everybody else seems
to have figured it out.
Maybe I lack maturity.

Maybe I didn't see this through.

And I wanna be someone
that sees things through. So...

So you're in this,
like, existential quest
to find your person right now?

That's one way of putting it.
I feel dumb. That was a lot.

- Are you ready
to leave? [laughs]
- No, yeah, yeah.

- Bye.
- Bye. See ya.

- [Nellie laughs]
- No. Actually, no, I-I, uh...

I wanted to thank you,
Nellie. I-I learned a lot
from our relationship.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I learned that I can
just be me, you know?

The-the nice guy.
That-that-that's enough.

Of course, it's enough.
I love a nice guy.

"Love a nice guy."

That's interesting.

My therapist explained to me
that some people,

they don't know how to love.

That they're broken.

They wouldn't know love
if it was sitting
right in front of them.

Staring them in the eyes,
drinking a PBR.

- [can thuds]
- [smacks lips]

- Uh...
- I would have
given you everything.

I would have given you
a kid, naturally.

Instead, you're off
freezing your eggs
like it's frozen fruit.

Like you're making smoothies.

Ugh, I don't wanna cry.

- Don't cry.
- I remember you telling me,

"Oh, you wanna just be friends.
Let's just be friends."

Well, friends
don't treat each other

like cold, heartless bitches.

I'm sorry for calling you
a "bitch." You're not one.

I'm just vulnerable as shit.

- I'm sorry. Women, they--
- Oh, yeah.

They say they like that stuff,
but they don't like that stuff.

- They pretend.
- Oh, right.

They wanna be friends,
they wanna be friends, whatnot.

- No, no, no, no.

we break bread,

we dream. We dream together.

- No.

I don't remember that.
I remember being kind of bummed.

Totally. You just only
wanted to hang out
once every three weeks

at 2:00 a.m.

Naked.

I'm sorry if I hurt you, Nellie.
That wasn't my intention.

Ugh. You were honest.

You were not looking
for anything serious.

And I was doing
the girl thing,

trying to make it
into something it wasn't,

trying to change you,

Yes.

Yes, we did.

- [chuckles]

What's new?

Not much. Well, I,
I got engaged.

What? Wait.

- Ella. She's amazing.
- Um...

We met at a Halloween party
last year.

She was dressed as a loofah
and I was dressed
as a bar of soap.

You dressed as a bar of soap
for Halloween?

We were dancing
to Michael Jackson.
"Thriller," obviously.

And-and-and what does she do?

She's a nurse.

Like a real nurse? Like, um...

Not like a nurse
on Grey's Anatomy?

[laughs] No,
like a real nurse, yeah.

She went to Stanford
and then she modeled
for a little while after.

- As one does.
- But she didn't
find it fulfilling.

- Right, right, right, right.
- And so she...

went to nursing school
and joined the Peace Corps.

- Mmm.
- [glass thuds]

Naturally. And-and you?

- Are you still working
at the restaurant?
- At the restaurant, yeah.

Yeah, we both work nights
so it's perfect.

Sounds really compatible.

- Are you gonna drink
your water?
- It really is.

I mean, I wish forever
would start yesterday.

- [glass thuds]
- Oh, wow.

- Yeah.
- Wow, Sterling.

You're getting married.

- I did not see that coming.
- [laughs]

And to a nurse, a real nurse.

- Look at you.
- I overachieved.

You know, I didn't think
you were the marrying type.

Why? Why-why do you think that?

Maybe because when we dated--

- Hung out.
- You were 40,

had never had a relationship
past three months,

and worked in a restaurant
where you had fucked

every other server and hostess
and gave me chlamydia.

Okay, well,
how does that make me
not the marrying type?

I really am sorry
that I wasn't your person.

- I'm not. Believe me.
- But you were crazy.

- Excuse me?
- After nine months
of hanging out,

you come to me with this,
"W-what are we doing?"

Calm down, huh?
I mean, you said it yourself.

You were trying to turn me
into something
that I wasn't. Okay?

At least, not for you.

You're right.

I was trying to turn a hoe
into a housewife.

- Nice. That's-that's
slut shaming.
- [sighs]

This is the problem with dating.

Etsy thing. Yep.

of excommunicated singles.

- Shut up.
- Stop being invited
to the couple shit

when you're no longer a couple.

Nell, you're always invited.

You say that now,
it's not long till you're off
to the world of parents.

Fuck.

Yikes. Been nice knowing ya.

- [Ryan chuckles] Yeah.
- Mmm.

Hey, how's Shawn? Or--

I'm sorry. Well, I don't know.
I mean, do you guys still talk?

No, um, not so much
lately. He's...

He's got a new girlfriend.

Wish them all the best.

May peace be with them.

Insert whatever it is
that grown-ups say.

Poor guy. I mean...

It's gotta suck to lose
someone like you, Nell.

[inhales deeply]

Sucks losing someone like him.

Tell me to fuck off if this is,
like, the stupidest question
ever, okay? But...

what happened between you guys?

Nellie! Hi! Wait, sorry.
I just heard about Shawn.

- Heard what?
- Oh, shit, I thought you
would've seen on the socials.

No, we're not--

- Um, he didn't do anything.
- Oh.

It was more for me,
so that I wouldn't...

Anyway, what,
what-what happened?

His new girlfriend.
She's so pretty.
What is her name?

Michelle.

- [snaps fingers]
- She's pregnant.

Wow.

[soft music playing]

[sighs]

Peace be with them.

- Hey, why don't you... Come on.
- Yeah.

[Hilary] Everyone!
Everyone! Circle up!

Come on, guys.
Every one of you have been
a part of our love story.

- [Ryan] No, really like--
- I want you to remember this,
you know?

- This is for you guys,
seriously.
- [guests cheering]

- You know, I mean,
we'll have ours.
- Yeah.

But this is-- This day,
we wanted this for you.

- Oh, and Jim and Diane, please.
- Jim, yes.

- Thank you so much.
- Please, thank you so much.

I'm so sorry. I did not mean
to drop that bomb on you.

- It's fine, Jen.
Don't worry about it.
- I thought you guys

- were still friends.
- Fuck off, Jen.

- Fuck off.
- I feel really bad.

You don't need
to feel bad for me.

[Hilary] So, you guys
are newer friends,

and love that we have
our old friends here.

- Not everyone knows how we met.
- Oh, my God.

So, Ryan's really good
at telling this story.

Okay, does anyone
really not know
how we met at this point?

- Yeah, whoo!
- ...that's how
we introduce ourselves.

- Okay? Uh...
- He's so good
at telling the story.

But...

I fucking love you.

There's a support group

pregnancy loss.

Whenever you're ready.

I wrote mine on... [sighs]

"Dear Winnie. I've lived
most of my life without you.

But from the moment
I found out you were here,
everything changed.

I started planning immediately.

The tea parties we'd have,
the playgrounds I'd take you to,

driving you to your first dance,

trying to talk you out
of plucking your eyebrows."

[sniffles]

"Teaching you how to drive,
how to cook a chicken,

how to chase your dreams.

It kills me that we never
got to do any of these things.

I'm so sorry, Winnie."
[sniffles]

"But...

we are so lucky that
you chose us to be your moms.

You weren't here very long,

but you have
Mommy's heart forever."

Beautiful, Nora.

[therapist] Anybody else?

Yes.

- Hi.
- Oh, hi.

No, I'm so sorry. I'm-I'm--

I'm not actually
going through a--

I was here for my friend
and-and she's not coming
now, sorry.

Um, I'm actually...
[light chuckle]

I'm going through the process
of freezing my eggs right now

in the hopes that someday I too
can know the joy of miscarriage.

No, no, no, sorry.

As soon as it was
coming out of my mouth,
I was like, "Abort!"

Fuck. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.

[snorts, chuckles]

[breathes heavily]

[chuckles]
How has it been so far?

Freezing your eggs?

Yeah, good, good, good,
good. Yeah. Um...

I guess it's just like
bringing up some stuff.

I'm either going through
a renaissance

or amidst the worst crisis
of my lifetime.

I feel really fucking stupid
talking about this here
when all--

Nothing is stupid
to talk about here.

- Mmm.
- Sit down, please.

Stay.

Oh.

[chuckles]

Okay.

Um...

my ex and I broke up a year ago.

He wanted kids.

He's a bit older than me
and he was tired of waiting.

[clicks tongue]

But I wasn't ready.
I'm not ready.

So I left.

I didn't wanna leave.
I really, really
didn't wanna leave.

But he would have never left me.

And I couldn't hold him back.

He's the most amazing human.
Like, the best human.

He's everything. He's grown-up.

[smacks lips] He bought his mom
a MacBook Pro for Christmas.

And he knows how to fold that,
the stretchy sheet with the--

with the waistband.

- [women] Fitted sheet.
- The fitted sheet.

He knows how to fold that
without even YouTubing it.

He's gonna be
the most epic dad ever.

Like a dad
from a minivan commercial.

Ah, his grilled cheese
is always that perfect
golden color.

It tastes like home.

He tastes like home.

So, yeah.

The past year,
I've sort of been a little...

homeless.

My grilled cheese
is always burnt.

Or cold, unmelted.

I'm wearing swimsuit bottoms,
'cause I haven't done
my laundry in weeks.

I did Molly at a wedding
last month.

Alone.

I don't really know
what kind of mom I'd be.

But I'm freezing my eggs.

Because...

procreation.

[chuckles]

Creating life.

What? That's...

That's pretty epic, right?

A baby is like
the physical manifestation of...

teamwork.

Partnership.

Seems like something
worth fighting for.

The irony is,

I don't know
if I've ever felt so...

alone.

Just today. One day.

Can you pretend to be
a loving, supportive father
just for a day?

How have I not been supportive?

How have you been supportive?
All you've done is tell me

that my egg freezing is voodoo
and I should get back
with Shawn.

- She's right.
- All I said

was that this new-age technology
is grotesquely expensive

- and you don't have the money.
- Accurate.

- But you do have Shawn.
- Drop it, Richard.

- I don't have Shawn.
- She doesn't have Shawn.

All she needs to do
is write him a text
with one of those,

- the faces thing. What is that?
- Emoji.

- With an emoji.
- His girlfriend's pregnant.

¿Qué?

- What?
- Fuck.

- [Richard] Is it serious?
- What do you mean
"is it serious"?

Sounds pretty
fucking serious, Pop.

- No, I'm okay.
- Yes, she's crying.

Of course, she's crying.
Hell, I'm about to cry.
No, that--

that could be you.

Don't you think
I wanted it to work out?

Oh, I don't know. Did you?

No, no, you're right, actually.
I-I really enjoy

being alone and heartbroken,
and told that my eggs are dying

while I go to weddings
and baby showers
every goddamn weekend.

- You enjoy that?
- No, Dad!

No. I don't enjoy spending $70
to go to fucking stork parties

where I shower pregnant bitches
with gifts while they act like
they cured cancer.

"You did it! You had sex
without a condom!"

I can do that. I do do that.

- Jesus Christ.
- ¡Ay, Dios mío!

Where's my party, huh?
I want a party.

I want a fucking stork party!

You're on your own, Pop.

I'm the one shooting myself up
with hormones,

mixing my meds
like I'm Dr. fucking Fauci,

growing 20 eggs at once
like I'm Octomom.

Can your body do that?
Can your body grow eggs? Huh?

- No.
- No? It can't? Can your body?

- No.
- What was that?

- No.
- No, it can't.

You know why?

'Cause this shit ain't easy.

Getting knocked up? That!
That is the easy shit.

Well, then why have you had
so much trouble?

- Ya, cállate.
- I'm just saying.

- [speaks Spanish]
- Dad, shut up.

I haven't had that much
trouble, actually.

I have the old receipt
from Planned Parenthood
to prove it.

- [chair scrapes]
- Nellie.

What does that mean?

- It's time to shut up.

It's okay.

Okay. Yeah.

You fucking serious?

Are you fuck-- Fucking Parveen!

Fucking... [mumbles]

Parveen, I don't know
anything about you.

Except that you
probably consider me
a common street whore.

Well, I prefer the term
"sexually empowered."

A 21st century woman. Yeah.

And not that it's any
of your business,

but I had a boyfriend.

Yeah, I did. For a long time.

But it didn't work out.

And it wasn't my fault.

I tried very hard. We both did.

Now it's just me.

It's just me.

And life isn't a Taylor Swift
song, okay?

There's no scarves.

There's no lakes.

There's no Wednesdays in a cafe.

Life is actually like
you're dancing,

you're having a good time,

and then suddenly
the music stops.

And everyone grabs a chair.

And you're just standing there
with your dick in your hand.

'Cause this whole time
you thought it was
a dance party? No.

It's not a dance party.

It's one long game
of musical chairs, Parveen.

Well, I may not have
a chair/man,

or a baby, or a house,

or fancy health insurance,
or my own Verizon plan,

but I have science.

Yup. I have enough.
I am enough.

And I'm not gonna let you,
or my dad, or Ember,

or any of these dudes
make me feel like I failed,

because I am doing my best

to take care of me.

And right now, that means
sticking this needle
in my stomach.

And I don't know
how junkies do it,
because it hurts, and I'm tired.

And my stomach is covered
in little holes
and bruises. But this is it.

This is the last one,
and I've done it.

and hot cocoa,
and sweater weather.

you're more than that to me.

You've given me

Peace.

Time.

And who knows,
maybe one day you'll join us
in this warm world.

You'll be a real boy.

Or girl.

Or they.

Or maybe not.

Either way, there's something
I want you to know.

You were no accident.

You were one

that I have ever done.

And I'm proud...

of us.

So, thank you...

for everything.
