"Your lucky numbers are 46, 24, 11, 6, and 5." It's all how you read it.
You paid attention. To you? Always.
“a spotlight waits for you center stage, all you have to do is step up and claim it. once you do, everyone will know who you are. they will know your wit, your intellect, smile, great expressive eyes. they will be helpless to your charms. they will fall at your feet and worship at the altar of you and your show corset.”
Pairing: Lenny Bruce & Midge Maisel Rated T Warnings: Season 5 Spoilers
She starts awake with a gasp.
Clutching her chest, she tries to calm her racing heartbeat, but it’s harder than hell when everything felt...
God, it felt so real.
“Midge?”
“I...I had the strangest dream - nightmare, really,” she answers, looking over at him.
Lenny rolls onto his side, his hand sliding comfortingly over her waist. “Want to tell me about it?”
She tells him everything. About Esther’s therapy. Ethan going to Israel and not telling her about his fiancé. About her failed marriages and falling out with Susie. About his rapid descent and...his death.
“It all felt…so real. Down to the fabulous outfits I was wearing. The eighties are going to be great for my wardrobe.”
He chuckles and gazes at her for a long moment. “Well none of that is going to happen - aside from the fabulous wardrobe,” he promises, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. “You’re a great mother. I’ve been clean for two years, so no meltdown at Carnegie Hall is going to be necessary. And Susie is your best friend. She’s going to be your best friend until we’re all dead.”
“And four to six months after?”
“And four to six months after,” he confirms with a nod.
Midge blinks back tears and then holds his face in her hands, kissing him deeply.
When they part, he wipes a little of her face cream off of his cheek and smiles at her. “Now I need to get some sleep. I don’t know if you heard, but tomorrow I’m marrying the most incredible woman on the planet, and if I don’t get my beauty sleep, she might realize just how far out of my league she actually is.”
“Careful with that one. I hear she’s got three more divorces in her future.”
He sighs and props himself up on his elbow. “Sweetheart, if you think I’d ever let you divorce me, you’re out of your fucking mind.”
“That’s what I thought about Joel, too,” she reminds him.
“I’m not Joel,” he murmurs, dipping his head and looking at her a little more intently. “I know how lucky I am.”
“I’m the lucky one,” she whispers. “Really, Lenny, I…” She reaches up and caresses his jaw with her fingertips. “Do you know how much I love you?”
He smiles that wonderful smile she loves so much, and nods. “Almost as much as I love you.”
He kisses her deeply, and that horrible nightmare fades from her mind.
The Midge we know and love.
A quick theory about this pic here!
This is Lenny regressing or falling from grace as you could put it, getting heckled by the audience and blacklisted from clubs etc.
Midge and Lenny possibly haven’t seen each other for a while, but Midge (who’s now a big shot) hears about Lenny being blacklisted and decides to help him out the same way he helped her out in the beginning by either doing a gig or inviting him on to her show.
Because let’s face it - she would be such a crappy friend/lover if she didn’t.
I am still positive that we’re going to get at the very least a semi-happy conclusion to the Midge/Lenny story (especially since Kitty’s still around and wants Midge and Lenny to get together) and because Luke always says that everything they (ASP, Dan & co) did with Lenny Bruce had to be respectfully done.
So maybe he will finally allow himself to get rescued by out main girl or at the very least open up to the possibility of having some sort of happiness (with Midge ((and Abe lol))?
The pics and the creators make it sound like everything’s going to be so fucking serious in the last season and I’m over here like: It’s still a fucking comedy though?? Like I’m here to laugh and cry and get hyped about clothes and female power in a buisness dominated by men, not to get heartbroken af.
what killed me hurted me most was seeing lenny’s hint of a cry after the whole speech he gave midge at the end of the episode. “….you will break my fucking heart” will be a mantra in my mind. i will never forget it, just like the final exchange at 3x05. he thinks she’s so good and is so determined to see her thrive it’s RIDICULOUS to think she would sabotage it herself. he’s looking out for her in ways we don’t even know.
if something happens to susie or midge before they can reconcile, i will never forgive amy sherman-palladino
