Quotes
-
Brye Adler : [Talking about a woman looking over at Lenny, while she handed Brye a drink] I think she likes you.
Lenny Bruce : She's just never seen a circumcised schmeckle before.
[laughs]
Lenny Bruce : Uh, but actually, Brye, I'm here with someone special tonight. Someone I love dearly, almost as much as I love myself.
[Looks around in the direction of where Midge is sitting backstage]
Lenny Bruce : Uh... uh, sweetheart? Where are... Ah, there you are.
[Walks on over towards Midge]
Brye Adler : Lenny... Looks like we have a wandering Mr. Bruce.
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : What are you doing?
[She throws some donuts behind her quickly before she takes Lenny's outstretched hand]
Lenny Bruce : [For the cameras] Well, it's time everyone knows, don't you think?
[They begin to head over towards the cameras]
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : [Whispers] Uh, I need to powder things.
Lenny Bruce : What is on you hands?
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : Frosting.
Lenny Bruce : Other hand. Other hand.
Brye Adler : Oh, he's back. Well, who do we have here?
Lenny Bruce : Brye, I'd like you to meet my wife--or possibly my sister.
[Turns to Midge]
Lenny Bruce : What are you, my wife or my sister?
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : Depends on what state we're in.
Lenny Bruce : Let's go wife. What the hell?
Brye Adler : Well, it's nice to meet you, whoever you are.
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : It's nice to meet you too.
[They both sit down on the sofa]
Lenny Bruce : She's a very big fan. She called in sick to work tonight just to be here.
Brye Adler : Oh? What do you do?
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : I'm a Mountie.
Lenny Bruce : Yes, she's very good with horses.
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : And moose.
Lenny Bruce : [Turns to Midge] And squirrel.
Brye Adler : A female Mountie? I didn't know there were female Mounties.
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : Are you kidding? Have you seen the hats? There's only female Mounties.
Brye Adler : So, how long have you two been married and/or related?
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : [They both turn to one another] Oh, it's been six...
Lenny Bruce : Uh, seven. You forgot our time at sea.
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : Yes, lost at sea. I almost killed you and ate you.
Lenny Bruce : But then we remembered fish.
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : Seven fun-filled...
[At the same time]
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : years.
Lenny Bruce : [At the same time] Weeks.
[Chuckles]
Lenny Bruce : We got to rehearse this next time.
Brye Adler : Well, you make a very handsome couple.
Lenny Bruce : Oh, well, we get our looks from our mother.
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : Ooh! They just put out some new onion dip, and I heard Betty Bacall is a notorious double-dipper. I've got to go.
[She stands up]
Brye Adler : Well, it was nice to meet you...
Lenny Bruce : [At the same time] Rhoda.
[laughs]
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : [At the same time] Scheherazade.
[pause]
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : Scheherazade Rhoda Maisel. Quite a culturally confusing mouthful.
Brye Adler : [Both Brye and Lenny watch Midge walk away] Great girl.
Lenny Bruce : Well, you should see her rob a liquor store.
