phoebe is so good at giving anecdotes that jimmy didn't talk over her for nearly the entire story. she probably set some sort of record or something.

[Scyrx]

The moment when PWB talks about the breaking-the-fourth-wall-idea and jimmy's response was: "LOL THERE'S ALSO A CGI FOX" was such a Fleabag-moment. I expected her to look right into the camera and say something like "gosh, american TV shows are stupid".

[Technofire]

I'm happy there are still showrunners out there who favor quality over the constant need of making a new season.

[Walls]

A fox that only works to Coldplay has to be the most Fleabag thing ever.

[meitalpo]

Thank god there was a second season because Her and Andrew Scott RUINED ME FOREVER

[Aloizza]

Imagine living in a world where Fleabag season 2 and the Hot Priest didn't happen. Don't even want to think about that dark place. Andrew Scott was a revelation and I'll be forever grateful to the genius that is PWB for writing this amazing character for Andrew.

Both Phoebe and Andrew Scott KILLED it this season🖤

[FreakieFan]

Please justify a season 3 Phoebe. It's one of my favorite shows EVER

[theKocka]

She deserves to get all the Emmys. She deserves the world. GIVE. IT. TO. HER.

[marissasmith]

Andrew Scott should have gotten an Emmy nomination too!

[Pr_Bh]

Never seen 1. Jimmy LISTEN without interrupting and 2. Genuinely be in awe of the story being told! Phoebe should be given another award for this achievement!

[shervintennakoon]

She's a genius. Her work is ahead of time for most people. A masterpiece.

[TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

Fleabag was perfect! No flaw at all. Phoebe is such a great actress. Not just in the comedic scenes but specially in the drama scenes. It will make you laugh and sob.

Fallon: Fake laughs.
Godmother: Let's put your fake laugh... right... there.

[landonbecker]

The most quiet jimmy has ever been in an interview

[wubranch]

Love when she doesn’t cover up her birthmark.

[elvarieH]

Love, love, love her! She is so creative and has a magnificent sense of humour. She deserves all those awards! Fleabag and Killing Eve are my favourite shows.

[TinaTr]

Phoebe is fabulous. I admire her so much.

[myran]

Its not an easy job upstaging a season 2 from 1 when it comes to ANY show. Especially if the first season is a major success. But Fleabag, for me, is one of those shows that succeed with that.

[pkzetiu]

I finished season 2 and realised it just now that we never knew her character’s name..
