DAD: I think you know how to love better than any of us. That's why you find it all so painful.

FLEABAG: I don't know what to do with it-
BOO: With what?
FLEABAG: With all the love I have for her. I don't know... where to - put it now.
(Pause.)
BOO (matter of fact): I'll take it.

saw someone suggested that at her mum's funeral when people are telling fleabag she looks beautiful it's actually them telling her she looks like her mum and the reason the script relays it the way it does is because it's all from fleabag's perspective 🤸‍♀️🚊

BELINDA: ...Do not take that for granted. There is nothing more exciting than a room full of people.
FLEABAG: Except most people are-
BELINDA: What?
FLEABAG: Shit.
BELINDA: Look at me. (BEAT.) Listen. (BEAT.) People are all we've got.

BELINDA: Women are born with pain built in. It's our physical destiny. Period pains, sore boobs, child birth, you know. We carry it within ourselves throughout our lives. Men don't. They have to seek it out. They invent all sorts of gods and demons and things so they can feel guilty about things, which is something we do very well on our own. ... We already have it all going on in here, inside.

BOO: And anyway. That’s the very reason why they put rubbers on the end of pencils. ... because people make mistakes.
