I love how genuine they make Lenny Bruce. He was a real, genuine person. That’s why he said what he said on stage under constant threat of arrest. And he truly sees Midge as a comedian that he wants to succeed.
Meaning...this isn't about me burning some of my career currency for you only to get embarrassed. Lenny owns it saying, it's fine, I did that and you never asked me to. It's him saying PAY ATTENTION, because what I'm about to say next is REALLY IMPORTANT, and not just a bruised ego talking!
I agree with what other people are saying that Lenny speech it's something we could all learn from and need to hear from her friends or family. I've watched this scene like a dozen times because it's so powerful and I love the part where Lennie says don't plan work and as a professional musician I've learned that myself and that you just need to keep working. You understand that this is a business? Awesome line. He does deserve an Emmy for this. Best scene of season 4 for sure which was by far the worst season so I hope the final season is better
Speaking about everything you want with family support (althoug they may not like your job) and without it - is a different thing. Family support gave her the ability to choose where to perform and where not. Letting her live in appartment and pay parts whenever she can is a kind of family support too. He want all the way to success by himself and could not miss any opportunity. He did not have a wife or parents paying for him.
He’s right, from what I’ve seen if midge wants to do and get her own act she has to throw her name out there more cause shy Baldwin opening acts and the acts on TV a few times aren’t enough. She’s gotta get out there and constantly show her name and show what she can do till a company says “She’s got the whole crowd rolling in just 5 minutes, just imagine what she can do if we sponsored her own special” Cause she’s from my perspective most famous for opening for shy Baldwin so of course she’s gonna GET opening gigs most of the time. She’s not at the level yet where she can do her own acts the way she wants to yet.
-And the Emmy goes to...
he was snubbed :(

it's probably my favorite scene of his. it's the most real he has ever felt, past his cool facade. it felt so real I just loved it.
Lenny's speech is something we could all learn from tbh
It's completely accurate and cripplingly depressing
"You never compromise!" Midge, do you not remember when he went on the Steve Allen show to prove he could 'play nice? You were there!
Thanks to writer to see inside Lenny Bruce heart. Great acting job.
"you never compromise" lol midge he played *the gaslight* to dig *you* out of your *last* irrational choice to bury your own career prematurely.
0:34 “Let’s put aside for a moment that I went to bat for you on that job!”

You can hear the magic sound of the place. The way the background audio hums, the way their voices echo
Her dress is awesome
The season was so short, I want more!!! 🥺🥺
It was too short
It was filmed during the Pandemic,
Quality over quantity…
POWERFUL SCENE!!!!

Best character on the show. I watch episodes with Lenny first.
this scene es amazing!
too bad it was cut to the best part
Go to part 37
Best season outside of 1&2. Season 3 was not good. But season 4 delivered really well.

Midge was so irritating this season.
