“So the old goat finally kicked the bucket. Not one day too early if you ask me, he could have saved us all a great deal of sorrow if he had popped his clogs years ago.”

“Edward! He was your father!”

”Aye. And he did a very poor job out of it. I wonder how many times in me life it’s happened that I wished someone else was me father. People who actually cared and saw something good in me.”

Audrey shivered in the cold wind. She felt a bit sick of sleep deprivation and the shock that still almost paralysed her.

Hardcore ACGAS fans know the film Brief Encounter has been referenced as an inspiration for the show. Most notably this picture of it hanging next to Sam West’s (Siegfried’s) hair/makeup station. Which is in the background of a picture he posted on X.

I watched the film and there is a lot that reminded me of a certain veterinarian and his housekeeper’s story 👀

Just wondering when they are going to take some inspiration from this scene 🙏 ☠️

“And you are the mother of mr Edward Hall and the former wife of Mr Robert Hall?”

“I am. Please tell me why you’re calling at this hour.”

“We have been trying to get hold of your son, but it seems he is no longer resident of the boarding house in Sunderland where he last lived.”

”That’s true, he moved out two weeks ago, but..”

“Mrs Hall, I have some serious news for your son, is it possible to reach him tonight over the phone?”

”Oh, I think Siegfried’s about to make a speech!

“Dear friends! I can’t even begin to say how happy I am to see you all here today. I have always said – and often insisted quite stubbornly – that Christmas Day is for the close family only. But if I may borrow for a moment from the Romans….”

Tristan sighed out loud with such emphasis that everyone started laughing.

“Yes, yes, dear brother, I know you don’t share my gratitude towards our early ancestors but please hear me out!”

“As long as we won’t be sitting here until New Year’s!” his brother whined.

"You realise the brake is the one in the middle?" "I've tried that. It's not working." "What?"

”There is something I need to know from you. And I want you to be honest, or else there will be no point of this.”

Dorothy’s voice was icy, piercing like a diamond, drilling into her mind.

“Alright?”

“Why the hell you were so keen on pushing me and Siegfried together?”

How it started - how it ends. Thank you Sam ❤️
