An Englishman is hiking in Scotland and he pauses to drink from a stream. A passing shepherd calls out “Dinnae drink frae that, it’s all fulla coo piss an shite!”
The Englishman says to him in a cut-glass accent “I’m terribly sorry, my good fellow, would you very much mind repeating that in the Queen’s English?”
And the shepherd says “I’m terribly sorry sir, I was only asking if you would like to borrow this tin cup and get a proper drink?”
For context, in ep5, there’s a bit where Aziraphale and Crowley banter a bit on Aziraphale’s French speaking and he starts talking a bit in French. But in the French dub, it was totally replaced (the dialogue with Justine too but it’s not very important) and it adds lore to the Ineffable Husbands lore.
So, here is the French transcription (time stamps 08:32 - 09:01)
Crowley= Attends un peu, les autres tu les as soudoyés à coups de bouquins rares et Justine c’est vins et fromages
Aziraphale= Je la connais bien, *soupire* les Parisiens ! J’ai passé beaucoup de temps à Paris ces derniers siècles et je connais leurs faiblesses. *voix bizarre* “Boire du vin, du fromage et une baguette pas trop cuite et ils te suivraient en Enfer”
C= C’est l’hôpital qui se fout de la charité ! Tu raffoles des bons petits plats ! C’est ton péché mignon.
A= Tu m’as démasqué, je me rends.
C= Et le pire c’est que tu m’as rendu accro ! J’adore leurs jambon beurre , leurs œufs mayonnaise, leurs croque-monsieur !
Nina= Vous êtes mignons
And now the approximative English translation I made :
C= Wait a bit, the others you bribed them with rare books and Justine it’s wines and cheeses
A= I know her well, *sigh* Parisians! I have spent a lot of time in Paris in recent centuries and I know their weaknesses. *weird voice* “Drink wine, cheese and a not overcooked baguette and they would follow you to Hell”
C=Says pot to kettle! You love good food! It’s your guilty pleasure.
A= You have discovered me, I surrender.
C= And the worst is that you made me addicted! I love their ham sandwiches, their eggs mayonnaise, their croque-monsieurs!
Ok, hear me out, THE THING IS, Aziraphale doesn’t really care about what heaven did to him. Deep down, he thinks he deserved it. (I know, poor thing) But Crowley? Aziraphale ALWAYS though heaven was wrong about Crowley, and that him falling was a mistake. And to hear Metatron’s offer to restore Crowley, oh, that was enough to convince him. Aziraphale doesn’t think he’s “saving” him. He already think Crowley is good, better than all the angels he knows. What Aziraphale thinks he’s doing is bringing justice for Crowley. He can finally make it up for him, and show heaven how wrong they were about him in the first place.
He says to Crowley: “I don’t think you understand what I’m offering you.” Because to Aziraphale, he is offering justice. The second chance no one ever gave Crowley and that he always deserved. How could Crowley not see he was doing this for him? Aziraphale was hurt and felt rejected.
And when Metatron comes back to fetch him, he almost don’t go. He keeps looking out for Crowley, glancing at the window. But even without him, Aziraphale needs to do this. He needs to fix heaven for Crowley, even if he doesn’t understand it.
The bottom line is this: Aziraphale does it all out of pure, desperate love for Crowley. He loves Crowley so much that he put his desire to be with him aside, just to persue what he thinks Crowley always deserved to have: recognition.
