So I admittedly get a bit teary when I watch this. I think as a woman, we get older with this learned fear of social irrelevance, of biological irrelevance. But this scene is of a successful older woman reassuring a younger woman that getting older is actually magnificent and freeing. And holy shit, it's totally reassuring to me too.

I feel like for women, getting older is a LOT harder than it is for men. Women always are appreciated for big parts because of their looks. As a result, a few wrinkles on your face means that your social value is falling. This scene, however, provided a different insight- finally you aren't valued as an object and fully become a human being in other's eyes.

We're raised to believe that our youth is our prime. It takes a lot to unlearn that. No one is in their prime in their youth. Everyone I've ever met has gotten slightly happier each year of their lives.

Having children is not for everyone and it won't make every woman happy with their lives or unhappy if they don't have them.

Being a woman is trauma. The transition to girlhood to womanhood is paved with physical and emotional trauma. From grey area sex and rape, abortion, miscarriage, your vagina ripping open from childbirth, cervical smears, and post-partum depression. There is so much trauma and we are expected to deal with it silently and quietly, not making a scene. We barely acknowledge it.

Whenever I get bad period cramps, I tell my mom that I can't wait to get menopause, and I'm only 21 years old

My period pain went away forever at 30 when I got my first pregnancy

belinda actually told her the things she's been looking for... she asked the therapist what she should do and she confessed to hot priest that she just wanted someone to tell her what to do, what to wear, etc. and belinda assured her here that it will get better, she's doing okay at living life, what she should do at present time (flirt more, don't take the present for granted), she should look forward to the future.

I haven't found menopause to be horrendous at all but alot has happened in my life since and now there's no pain for 'dramatic effects'...

GOD DAMN this is one of the greatest bits of television I’ve ever seen. The subject matter, the acting, the simplicity of it all makes it so poignant UGH I LOVE IT

These four minutes make up one of the most enchanting, hilarious, wonderful moments of television I've ever seen.

I loved this scene so much! Brilliant acting and writing

For me, Phoebe's most magnificent moment

There should be an entire book written about this scene. I’d buy it.

I LOVE this scene SO much because it feels so comfortable and nice.

Oh Phoebe Waller-Bridge brilliant creator, writer, producer & actress. Between your other show Killing Eve and Fleabag you are soaring to new heights. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to upload this. I really appreciate it. Cheers

My mother was so horrified by menopause she spiraled into a self-destructive mid-life crisis that lasted several years, harmed her family in numerous ways, and eventually ended with her being artificially inseminated with twins she's way too old to appropriately care for. She's never been abusive to them, but she's clearly way out of her depth and too old to keep up with their needs. No one was directly influencing her choices, but society as a whole making girls think their worth is tied up in being sexually available and fertile, to the point menopause is a horror, is fucked up.

This is genuinely genius 👏🏼👏🏼

This scene was so honnest, raw and full of wisdom.... I wish it was nominated for it's writing & acting..

Men seriously never ever get touched. Unless it’s by their girlfriend or wife. The pressure of “being a man” can get very lonely. This scene is just as important for men as it is for the women.

I'm happy that there are men who can learn and enjoy women point of view. As a woman who was too observant of her dad, rather focusing on her mum, I can agree. My dad treated my mum like enemy, just because she was gentle and caring person. I never understood, until it was too late that being nice is not a weakness, as my father tried to convince himself. Too late because my mum isn't here anymore to see that at the end I choosed her, her school of thoughts is more enjoyable and fulfilling that prison of self restriction my father live in.

amit nagpal yeah I'm glad society is slowly moving away from that, guys should be allowed to hug or lean on eachother without hearing no homo, allowed to cry and he emotional and not told to man up, as if they would be less because they expressed pain.

Well the thing is that no woman can cure this for you. You have to be emotionally available and open yourself to get a partner who is equally emotionally available. I feel sorry you had to grow up in such a formal family but you can change that. You can start by telling your parents you love them and eventually they'll say it too. You can start by asking your mother/father for a hug and sooner or later they'll do it without asking. You can start it by doing it with your siblings too. I started that in my family openly telling them that I love them and now it's become a norm in our family. And the best thing you can do is make this a norm in your family when you eventually have kids. Get yourself a partner who understands how much emotional vulnerability means to you. How "touch starved" can be a thing. Because if men can't convey their emotions properly, I am sorry to say nobody can read their minds. Take it little by little and reduce the formality if you can.

This show is filled with characters which I swear had a three episode arc but turns out were only onscreen for 10mins. Absolutely mind-blowing

Such a thoughtful and well-acted scene.. magnificent 💖

This may be my most favourite conversation in tv history! Can't believe it took KZread this long to recommend it to me.

Weirdly the woman who finally makes me feel a okay with growing old is miranda priestly from the devil wears prada. Looking at her make me feel like, oh yes, okay, i am pumped with having silver hair, wrinkles, and all that entails

I f***ing love this show. I just binged all episodes of this a few days ago and now I’m dying to see more. Absolutely the funniest and most hilarious show I’ve seen in a very long time. Laughed so much I hope my neighbors didn’t think I was going nuts.😂 Please tell me there are plans for seasons. Please! 🥺

It can't have any more seasons. In the last episode fleabag has grown and healed enough that she doesn't need us/audience to cope anymore. She wants to be present in her own life. So unless PWB gave up on being brilliant and true to her art, more seasons ain't happening.

This scene is so important to me. I watch it whenever I feel like giving up.

The "People are all we've got" line is a good slap in the face. I love this scene.

I love the initial kiss. Timidness.... and then the 2nd endearing kiss. That's so beautiful because they had the mutual understanding. Majority of men can't do this.

Somehow to me the kiss spoils everything. Like the whole conversation was so beautifully written, absolutely immaculate, but the kiss spoilt everything. I couldn't understand why it took place.

This scene is so great

Still the best 5 minutes in television history.

You see the men’s reaction in the background when they kissed 🤣 3:50

Sensational women, sensational and honest writing. This is so wonderful.

They’re amazing

Of all the moments in FLEABAG that made me weepy, this scene made me burst into tears. "No longer a machine with parts. Just a person."
