Rachel Brosnahan is amazing. I was a part of the background for this scene. There were several takes and with each one she always landed it as emotionally fresh as the first. It’s a privilege to see an actor of her caliber at work up close.
Not the point of this scene I know but so impressive how much classier the club has become since she started working here - not only is it packed but now there are more tables and each table has a tablecloth and a little lamp.
@@agenttheater5 no no.. I mean that she can afford Dior yet works in a department store.. one outfit would probably cost her annual salary.. also that her agent got 10% how could she live?
@@lisetteem3054 good point. maybe it's a Dior imitation. Either way her clothes are fantastic. And it was a fantastic routine in this scene. Funny but sad as well - and the perfect ending as well
@@agenttheater5 she said it was Dior.. I guess mummy paid.. but it didn't make sense.. and the dress maker is amazing.. perfect ending as in the gay guy telling her he had on Dior or the ep? I reckon if they dont make another series it was a good end for it on the 4th at Carnegie. x
Oh honey, we've always been in charge. Just don't tell them that because they'll have a conniption. Even back in they day when they went off to war, we'd be home taking care of the farm and the tenants to make sure they had a home to come back to.
Absolutely true. Women have always been the caretakers. The ones doing the emotional heavy lifting. It was a saying that behind every strong man is a good woman holding him up. Or something like that. A man will have a wife at home who dotes on him. Cooks his meals, washes and irons his clothes, keeps the house, looks after the children, and adores him more than anything in the world and the husband will still believe he’s more important than her. But the thing is, she can hold herself up. Can he?
This is my favorite monologue ever, not just in this masterpiece of a show, but of all shows. My dad's battling through cancer and i cry everytime i watch this scene. I'm going trough everything she described, this show and every single detail just hits different when you're a woman.
The day I watched this was after a shift where we lost a 23 week fetus/baby. The mother had religiously stayed on bed rest for weeks because she knew she could lose her baby, and I was so touched by her motherhood and determination. This was what I needed when I came home after that horrible day. I hope I am half the mother she is.
Im a medic and my partner is a nurse and what is said here is so true. They often make more of a difference than we do. Guérir parfois, soulager souvent, consoler toujours..
Honestly i kinda wished this was the way her story went. Like yes I want her to perform huge venues but there was something natural about her kinda being the behind the scenes driving force, she got the band to play on time, she made sure the stage manager respected the girls privacy more, it kinda felt like her club in the way Cher's club did in Burlesque. I'll be really sad if they just forget this storyline like they forget B Altman's
I'm big on that era of stand up comedians, and was a huge fan of the real lenny bruce. So was excited by the show. But by the second season was disappointed,even though I'm still watching it. I think the acting great, and dialogue. But it's like they didn't know where to go with the show anymore. The mother goes to France, then a few episodes were in France. What was that about??? And Maisel shot up the ranks too fast. I know that era of comedians, and especially the female comediennes rusty warren, jean carroll, totie fields, joan rivers, phyliss diller, bette bart......... we all know joan rivers, and phyliss diller, but because they were female comedians they went through years of being in the back of the bus(sort to speak) and harassed. Joan Rivers didn't make it over night. It's only the storylines, where it's going that I don't care for everything else about it I love
@@johnmarengo3988 I was a preteen/young teenager during the late 1950's and early 1960's, the period this takes place. I saw my dad scared, making a change from a glamorous career as a musician to the business world, and drinking too much. It was an extremely painful time. This monologue hits home in several ways. I also remember Lenny Bruce, done in by his addictions, personal demons and relentless harassment by the U.S. government. He should've lived another 40 years. I will always admire him as a champion of freedom of speech. Especially since we've moved into a new era of censorship. As Mort Sahl stated, "Ask yourself who are you not allowed to criticize." I will not be watching this series, but I find this clip especially moving. I feel a sadness every time I see this era represented in a series and find it hard to watch. Also, depicting Lenny Bruce as a dreamboat is a huge stretch. I also remember Rusty Warren. I never thought I'd see her name in print again!
Part of me always wishes they'd cut to Lenny during this scene. I know we're not supposed to know he's there until after but I just would really love to see the look on his face during this particular set. I'm sure Luke Kirby would've given us something amazing.
Babyyyyy she spoke a WORD!!!! THIS IS WHY AMERICA IS THE WAY IT IS NOW SO MANY PEOPLE FROM GROUPS WHO WERE USED TO BEING IN THE BACKGROUND ARE REALIZING THEIR WORTH. The main group is so UPSET now.
If I''m feeling overwhelmed and stressed, I can always rely on this video to make me cry and help release all tension off my mind. It's so good, so emotional and true. Great speech.
Before I actually listen to this, I just realized that Amy Sherman Palladino probably did this show to force her audience to be ready for the Gilmore Girls revival, and my inner Paris Geller Rejoices, brutally bringing people into enlightenment kicking and screaming, Guess that puts the G in Genius I hope it is as painful as possible

How does one become part of the background?? I’m curious. Do you have to audition? 😂
Set up a profile at the link I provided and apply for the listed castings@@ettoresotsass
Which one are you???

I thought it was aa bit at odds with her day job that she was apparently wearing Dior..

The sign of a true comic: can talk about a dying man in a hospital and still make it funny and heartfelt

i really loved this season
Fantastic show. The Ferris wheel scene in episode 2 last season was beyond brilliant
The Coney Island scene, yeah. I hope they get the Emmy for that one.
This brought TEARS to my eyes!!
We don't like seeing our loved ones in a hospital room not sure if there ever going to make it.
If I''m feeling overwhelmed and stressed, I can always rely on this video to make me cry and help release all tension off my mind. It's so good, so emotional and true. Great speech.
This will always be one of my favourite of her sets
Thank you! We need more !
All the Emmys aren't enough for her
Brilliant ❤️
This is how you done girl power❤
2022 and this is true now . We are equal
