she always talks to the girls that way, and aggressive is right. It's called "crooked" speaking in some mental health descriptions. Just so funny to catch on and see it.
And Olivia's character is so well written I know someone like that! And that scene where priest starts talking to phoebe and Olivia just doesnt like phoebe is getting the attention from priest so she interrupts them and start conversing about how she and priest met. She just want everyone to talk about her and listen to her. Poor dad didnt let him talk. So well written the whole show.
Wot the geezer means iz dat its the creme de la creme of literacy, cogency. Or put another way it is great dialogue that rings true and is appropriate to the speaker, and is what that person would say in those circumstances, while also furthering either the plot or your knowledge of the characters, or both; while at the same time not being tedious. It's , also , brilliantly acted by the gathered ensemble...
pretty late but in hindsight, this sort of foreshadows his relationship with alcohol, which is never discussed in the show but is obviously alluded to for the rest of the season
@@ninjasaurxd I thought about this too and the fact that he still drinks despite the fact that it’s implied he may have had an alcohol or substance abuse problem…is a little worrisome? Not sure what the writers were going for there exactly.
@@Vashtibucket i think a lot of people with dependence on substances are aware that they have said dependences - it’s up to their choice whether or not they want to do something about it - in this case, he seems pretty functional throughout the season, so maybe he just lives with it?
he's not particular verbal is he ! LOL At times when he speaks to Fleabag or Claire, he can't finish a thought, that's how uncomfortable he is with intimacy. Well played !
rewatching this scene after finishing the season...like the fact that he asks her right after she mentions to us that no one's asked her anything in 45 minutes. like he ALWAYS saw her, from the very start
I love that in this dinner scene she could have been talking to anyone that's why he didn't think it weird... Just like well yeah he should probably be nice and involve her in the conversation... But when they are alone together it's harder to hide the fact that she is talking to us 😂
Fleabag's dad randomly touching his chest not even knowing where his heart is is the physical equivalent of how uncomfortable he is with intimacy and expression of one's feelings and I think Phoebe is a genius for this
in this scene phoebe' keep breaking the 4th wall, intensely. that later i realized it means she was really not into her surroundings. it's so contrast with the scene she had with successful-lady-of-the-year, that didn't have any the 4th wall breakage.
I loved that in this scene Fleabag told “us” that the cafe was going well bc she knew the audience would believe she was lying about the success of the cafe until we actually saw it. This is as people have said a masterclass in dialog.
I love how hot priest makes out of focus eye contact with the camera while fleabag criticizes him to us, amazing foreshadowing. Can’t get over this show and really bummed it’s over:(
2:05 The "needy waitress" is Maddie Rice, the star of the original Fleabag play after PWB stepped away to make the show. She's a fantastic actress, and it's cool she got a little cameo here
Sycamore I don’t think he can actually hear her except for the “his neck” bit. I think we kind of represent her inner monologue as well as an emotional barrier she hides behind when people are trying to connect with her on more than a surface level. Also, I would pay obscene amounts of money to have the hot priest see me at all lol
@@bink6778 As I recall there are few more times when he hears her inner monologue, indicating he can hear her. Also, I think som1 pointed out that when she connects with someone she doesn't do her monologue... it opossess your opinion, but I think there are quize few examples, like when she is having a drink with the woman in buisness...
@@sycamore2656 Well, given its her inner monologue to begin with, its almost like he understands her that, he's basically hearing her inner thoughts. She doesn't need to 'be' someone else, she can actually dialogue without holding back or withholding information to herself; to us, the audience.
Alex Cook I love that the key people involved in the play were involved in the series - none of this burning bridges, leaving people behind, everyone comes along for the ride - it’s so honourable and beautiful ❤️
the line "no one has asked me a question in 45 minutes" then immediately almost answered by the hot priest kinda foreshadows their relationship and how he is the only one who actually wants to get to know her and later on we see him seeing fleabga break the fourth wall which shows how he is really paying attention to her and I think that's beautiful. also how fleabag delays her response almost in shock of how he seemed to read her mind and she is not the kind of character to get often surprised by things.
she takes thinks so far, is amazing. The fact that we never know some characters name, the dad that can't finish a sentence EVER. Is so clever, I love it
It does! I don't think this show is politically correct... Why is this generation filled with snowflakes who just have to make tv shows about being politically correct?
@@drkatier Yes, the way the Emmys work is that shows submit a single episode for each of the award categories (with a few exceptions). I like looking at which episodes were submitted to see what the filmmakers consider their best examples of writing, acting, directing, etc.
The first season was good but the second season is better. In fact, this scene sold me the second season. This and the last scene. Utterly, brilliantly amazing.
I knew it! I knew Claire was aware of the audience too, but didn't want to ruin things for her sister. Or just didn't want to take responsibility for Fleabag's feelings after messing with eehhh whatever we have with Fleabag while watching her
@@catrein4687 But was it like she knew about Fleabag talking to the audience, or did she have an audience of her own? Like how many times could Claire have been breaking the 4th wall but we don't know because we usually see from Fleabag's perspective.
Fleabag's stepmother saying "Oh darling" after his husband-to-be's speech of random words and silence sends me every time, as if he said the most profound thing ever I'm rolling on the floor
This is the most perfectly written 5 mins of television! So relatable. The way fleabag smokes outside with such relish and relief brings me back to most family dinners. And "no one's asked me a question in 45 mins" kills me every time, its just too accurate
So so good! Brilliant writing and acting. Attended too many of these "passive aggressive" dinners! Ahhhh family (extended) can't live with them can't live without them.
Last night I accidentally binged all of season 2 without having watched season 1 first. And not only was it easy to follow for a first-time viewer, but it was absolutely original, hilarious, and the ending made me cry BUCKETS. Dunno how well season 1 is, but season 2 is practically perfect.
Never seen the show before but now I’m interested. It’s funny how in just these 5 minutes I was able to get a grasp of every characters personality, and their dynamic with each other. Pretty good writing
the writing, acting, THE ACTING and delivery from each actor, the directing, the editing... everyone in this scene, even Maddie the server, was impeccable. We are lucky to have such an incredible show like Fleabag. I recommend it to every person I know.
My favorite scene and my favorite episode! There is just something about that initial attraction, you know. That special attention one gives to another. The way he steals glances and looks at her. 😍
And filming The Crown too. That's why I was surprised when she says she has botox when nothing on as that's at least 3 months of frozen face. Don't know where she'd get time!
Well I do; it’s simply criminal. Joking aside, she is certainly ubiquitous at the moment - she even cropped-up in the latest British Airways ad. Glad she brings you joy, though.
Matthew Winfield she hardly brings me joy. I didn't even know who she was last year. I take it you do not like overrated actors because of their smugness but she is hardly Jen Aniston.
acLewBert I don’t think it was intentional either but I like to see it as breaking the fourth wall regardless. Like Claire’s superpower that we never found out about
I just finished watching this episode. This is peak dialogue, peak passive-aggressivism, it's peak comedy&drama really. S1 was overall enjoyable, but this episode was an absolute masterpiece. I'm in for one hell of a ride if the rest of the season is this good.
I just watched this episode, and I don't think I've ever watched a better episode of television. Laughed until I cried. I'm still replaying the writing in my head
I’m actually obsessed with Pheobe and Olivia, they’re two on the funniest, most talented women in the industry. Please, please give us another season of Fleabag!
The thing I love the most about the dinner scene is how the moments inside the restaurant have a lot of audiovisual stimulation: the scenes editing is very fast, with a lot of camera angles going back and forth, a lot of characters, a lot going on with the dialogs (which brilliantly show the worst of each character from the family covered in by the social context, a lot is said even without a commentary), background noise, lights and colors, and how it is abruptly changed into fleabag on the outside smoking to calm down: only a few camera angles, switched very rarely, just one character or two for scene, almost no sound, less colors and dark. It is the environment telling us how being with her family in that moment was stressing and exhausting for Fleabag and it makes us automatically connected with her feelings immersed in the storyline, almost as if we needed that moment to take a break as well.
i like to think fleabag disassociates alot when dad speaks cause he's always fumbling for words and create really incoherent string of words BUT everyone else seems to understand full on sentences. also there are the times where dad speaks to fleabag directly and he's able to make more articulate sentences.
Okay I love every second of this scene but Olivia’s passive aggressive “sorry darling” done twice in a row is absolutely perfect characterization
she always talks to the girls that way, and aggressive is right. It's called "crooked" speaking in some mental health descriptions. Just so funny to catch on and see it.
And Olivia's character is so well written I know someone like that! And that scene where priest starts talking to phoebe and Olivia just doesnt like phoebe is getting the attention from priest so she interrupts them and start conversing about how she and priest met.

Nobody but Olivia Colman could have played that part. She is truly glorious
It's funny how she interrupted Claire right after asking her a question. Then she gets passive aggressive when the dad interrupts her...
This is like a masterclass in dialogue writing

Well it must be the best show I have watched n almost 66 years to beat this whole Double Series...
@Om Patel even Donald Glover said he was jealous of not writing fleabag...

Her dad's speech in the beginning kills me every-time.
he's not particular verbal is he ! LOL At times when he speaks to Fleabag or Claire, he can't finish a thought, that's how uncomfortable he is with intimacy. Well played !
.......very much!
I like how his only full sentence ends with "family gang bang"
the priest's reaction too
I wish I could forget it and listen to it without the video just once

@@joannadechenne6368 You can get excellent new UK comedy when you get rid of Trump.

it's amazing how much she makes you LOATHE her but then in the crown you LOVE her from second 1
she reminds me of prof. umbridge from harry potter
“Well, you just seem a little…🥴” it kills me EVERYYYYY TIME
I actually like the step mom
rewatching this scene after finishing the season...like the fact that he asks her right after she mentions to us that no one's asked her anything in 45 minutes. like he ALWAYS saw her, from the very start

Dont mind me as someone is cutting onions here
This is so aggressively middle-class and English it just turned my living room into a Waitrose organic section.

She owns the “breaking the forth wall” crown. The queen and master of 4th wall laughter and facial expressions

They’re indeed sisters
I like how claire makes a small interaction with the camera at 3:48. Its like lowkey but shows she IS fleabag's sister
omg I just realized that at 3:49 Claire looks at the camera after being interrupted, this show really gets better every time
This feels like 380 degrees of relatable, realistic awkwardness.

She's been busy. Les Miserables, this show and the favourite. Olivia Colman has been on a lot of things this year.

This whole scene is a masterpiece. Well done to everyone who was involved with this, it’s so funny and entertaining.
One of the best new season opening in tv history
Successfully replaced my obsession with the writing of game of thrones with that of fleabag. I did not see this happiness coming.
This series is a national treasure. WE NEED MORE OF IT
The thing I love the most about the dinner scene is how the moments inside the restaurant have a lot of audiovisual stimulation: the scenes editing is very fast, with a lot of camera angles going back and forth, a lot of characters, a lot going on with the dialogs (which brilliantly show the worst of each character from the family covered in by the social context, a lot is said even without a commentary), background noise, lights and colors, and how it is abruptly changed into fleabag on the outside smoking to calm down: only a few camera angles, switched very rarely, just one character or two for scene, almost no sound, less colors and dark. It is the environment telling us how being with her family in that moment was stressing and exhausting for Fleabag and it makes us automatically connected with her feelings immersed in the storyline, almost as if we needed that moment to take a break as well.
One of the best edited shows I've ever seen. Hands down
