Kneel. Now drink.

Fleabag's Hot Priest, who gave the internet a new religion after Season 2 launched on Amazon Prime in May, is here to answer your prayers. Or more importantly, quench our thirst for him.

At least that's what actor Andrew Scott and show creator/star Phoebe Waller-Bridge did for fans waiting in line early Saturday morning outside London's Wyndham's Theatre, praying for tickets to the massively popular stage production.

"How are you? Have some gin -- I hope you get a ticket!" Scott can be heard saying in a video posted to social media.

Specifically, the two were handing out Gin in a Tin, the canned gin and tonics from British retail chain M&S (Marks & Spencer). Scott's character referenced it in a now-iconic scene from Season 2, which inadvertently caused a 24 percent spike in gin and tonic sales at M&S. Judging from its Instagram, the retail chain had at least some hand in making this lovely moment possible.

The West End production claims to be the final run of Waller-Bridge's one-woman show that later inspired the TV adaptation we know and love. It's such a hot ticket right now that A-list celebrities like Taylor Swift and Charlize Theron were spotted attending Friday's performance.

This isn't even the first time Hot Priest gave holy communion to quench our thirst for him. Back in June, Scott celebrated National Hydration Day with a post that, if we're being honest, did not help.

The G&T's were probably a Hail Mary for fans who likely won't get tickets. But they got the real thing, sharing a "proper drink" with the second coming of our Father in Thirst, Horny be thy Name.
