#i felt for midge here bc i too would b devastated

[atlasshrugd]

ok im gonna put aside my ‘luke kirby’s lenny bruce can do no wrong’ hat for a second. bc I need to talk abt this.

mans let midge walk home during a BLIZZARD. like, he knew after he yelled at her she would not be coming back to his hotel and she did not come w anyone, + u can’t get a cab in that weather. so she came down there for him, got yelled at, then had to WALK HER ASS HOME in a snowstorm at night? ofc she got hypothermia! i rly want to know what he was thinking here. 😭

and after all that, he doesn’t even call her to make sure she’s okay?? not to check if she got home ok?? like, they DID sleep together. midge is the kind of woman who likes a follow-up and he knows her well enough to know that. sure, he doesn’t want to lead her on during his financial/legal troubles, but come on. y’all were friends first. at this point it’s just disrespectful!

(ik midge was a stubborn ass who should have apologised for turning down the bennet gig. but it’s the 60’s, man! and basic courtesy! do not let the woman you slept with [or any woman] walk home alone during a blizzard, and then avoid her!)
