00:01 My bridesmaid entrances are the stuff of legends.
00:04 Ever the bridesmaid, that is my badge of honor.
00:08 You feel me?
00:08 I feel you.
00:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:11 I go to weddings and baby showers every damn weekend.
00:14 When are you going to give me grandkids?
00:15 Talk to your first born about grandchildren.
00:17 I don't want him procreating.
00:18 No.
00:19 That's terrifying.
00:20 Yeah.
00:20 Nobody wants that.
00:21 Nobody wants that.
00:22 I don't have a man or any legit prospects.
00:24 What have I ever done?
00:25 Am I not suitable for life?
00:26 You are very suitable for life.
00:29 I feel like I'm running out of time.
00:30 Are you seeing anyone now?
00:34 I'm seeing everyone now.
00:35 It's sort of an all you can eat buffet.
00:37 How old are you?
00:37 Please say 32 or 33.
00:40 Nelly?
00:41 I'm 34.
00:43 Stupid.
00:44 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:47 I want you to remember, they can be a never neverland.
00:50 Never growing up, never aging.
00:52 But those eggs, they are.
00:56 If I don't spend $13,000 to freeze my eggs,
00:58 I might never be able to have kids.
01:00 Meanwhile, you're going to wait till you're 70 to have
01:02 a baby with an influencer.
01:05 That is accurate, and I'm not embarrassed about it.
01:09 What's new with you, Nelly?
01:11 I'm thinking about getting my eggs frozen.
01:13 That's amazing.
01:14 Maybe I should have a baby shower.
01:16 But you're not having a baby.
01:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:20 What if I screw this up?
01:21 I don't even know if I want kids.
01:23 I've seen euphoria.
01:24 You're not going to screw this up.
01:26 Woo!
01:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:30 You're buying time.
01:31 Someone who's good enough for you is hard to come by.
01:35 I'm either going through a renaissance
01:37 or amidst the worst crisis of my lifetime.
01:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:45 Here we go.
01:45 Down here, you look like I'd say--
01:49 Virgin?
01:50 Definitely not.
01:51 OK.
