History Awesome / Fleabag

--> '''Fleabag''': I'm happy for you. I'm happy you've found a way to deflect from your pitiful, self-sabotaging, ego-driven, masturbatory - [[AsideComment I cannot ''believe'' how well this is coming out]] - pawing, insidious - [[AsideComment ''insidious'']] - overwhelming mediocrity, only to finally figure out that, at your very core, you are a...w-weaky. [[AsideComment Damn!]]

* Fleabag and the Priest finally giving in to their attraction to each other and having sex.

** Claire tells Martin several times point-blank that she wants him to leave her, after which he makes a manipulative speech trying to convince her she's still in love with him, ending with saying he won't leave until she's on her knees ''begging'' him to go. Claire [[NoSell gets on the kitchen floor within seconds]] and firmly repeats herself, more exhausted and annoyed with him than desperate.
* In a meta sense, the show stunning many by pulling off wins at the 2019 Emmy Awards for Best Comedy, Best Writing for a Comedy and, biggest of all, Phoebe Waller-Bridge upsetting Julia Louis-Dreyfus (who hadn't lost for any of the previous six seasons of ''Series/{{Veep}}'') for Best Actress.

* Claire stealing back the woman torso statue (which she previously pressured Fleabag in putting it at its place) from Dad's house after an entire lunch of bullying from Godmother.
* In episode one of season two, Fleabag punching Martin in the face in the restaurant for being an unredeemable and complete asshole. He then punches her back, causing her to bump into the Priest, who staggers back and accidentally smacks the waitress in the face with the back of his hand.
* Kristin Scott Thomas' speech in season two episode three, about the difference between men and women:
-->'''Belinda''': Listen, I was in an aeroplane the other day and I realised... Well, I mean, I've been longing to say this out loud. Women are born with pain built in. It's our physical destiny. Period pains, sore boobs, childbirth, you know. We carry it within ourselves throughout our lives. Men don't. They have to seek it out. They invent all these gods and demons and things just so they can feel guilty about things, which is something we also do very well on our own. And then they create wars, so they can feel things and touch each other, and when there aren't any wars they can play rugby. And we have it all going on in here, inside. We have pain on a cycle for years and years and years and then, just when you feel you are making peace with it all, what happens? The menopause comes. The ''fucking menopause'' comes, and it is the most most wonderful fucking thing in the world! And, yes, your entire pelvic floor crumbles and you get fucking hot and no-one cares, but then you're free! No longer a slave, no longer a machine, with parts. You're just a person. "In business."[[note]]Belinda has just been given a "Women in Business" award, which she regards as "infantilising bollocks".[[/note]]
-->'''Fleabag''': Oh. ...I was told it was horrendous.

** Claire defends Fleabag from Godmother's harassment by drunkenly admitting that ''she'' was the one who had a miscarriage, that Fleabag was just covering for her... and then proudly tells Martin with a smirk, "I guess it was the baby's way of saying it didn't want you as its father, '[[IronicEcho Like a goldfish out of the bowl sort of thing.]]'[[note]]This is what Martin told Fleabag when she claimed Claire's miscarriage in Episode 1.[[/note]] Fleabag's face says it all, and she promptly [[ThickerThanWater refuses to leave Claire's side]] for the rest of the ensuing argument, [[PassThePopcorn throwing back martinis all the while.]]
