Summary: The Doctor and Donna go back
“Okay, this is not the part I wanted to see again.”
“Why, what’s wrong with now?”
“Then, you mean.”
“No, now. We’re in ‘now’ now…”
“You know, I really wish I hadn’t shown you Spaceballs. But, honestly, why did we have to arrive at that ‘before dying’ moment?”
“If it’s any comfort, we aren’t going to die.”
“Yeah, I do remember that, thanks, but I’m not happy about the fact that we just about lost our eardrums – again – because of your silly games with those sonic devices.”
“Any other bright ideas on how we could have escaped?”
“Hmm, let me think. How about that old favourite – run like hell?”
“Well, let’s ponder that for a moment, shall we? Two of us – no guns. Three of them – two high-powered automatics between them. Who wins?”
“The TARDIS can stop bullets.”
“Do you have any idea how far away from the TARDIS we were? Are? And I do mean the version of the TARDIS out in the alley behind the building, not the one we’re currently standing inside, just to be clear.”
“Maybe you could soak me in Huon particles again. Turn me into a handy remote control to bring the TARDIS to us whenever we’re stuck.”
“Well, all right, if you feel like dying…”
“Regenerating.”
“Yeah, not right now, huh? We’ve still got a whole lot more places to visit.”
“That storage cupboard, for starters.”
“Donna, how are we, and the TARDIS, going to fit into the cupboard with that other version of us? It might just be me, but I don’t recall seeing another of myself in there last time.”
“Ooh, getting a bit sarky, aren’t we? All right, the roof then.”
“And no grabbing a baby Adipose as they go past.”
“Hmph. You’re no fun.”
“Maybe for Christmas…”
“You’d get me an Adipose for Christmas? Oh, Doctor, you’re…”
“What, me? No, I never said – I didn’t mean – What I was going to say was, once we’ve finished our tour, which, at the rate we’re going, will be around Christmas, we can go and visit Adipose 3. After all, you did save their planet from the Daleks. They ought to be grateful.”
“And do you think they’d give me an Adipose?”
“Donna, have you ever thought that what we saw were the baby Adipose? Do you have any idea what a baby Adipose grows into?”
“What?”
“A great, big, scary, horrible monster. With one fang.”
“You know the interesting thing about being the DoctorDonna? I can tell just when you’re talking complete rubbish. Which you are now. They don’t grow at all, do they? They stay the same size and the same level of cuteness. And I’m getting one. Or would you rather have a cat?”
“I’m allergic.”
“To cats?”
“To cute.”
“Hah!”
“No, really, I am.”
“You called me cute last night?”
“Did I?”
“You did. Among a lot of other things. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if you couldn’t remember. There was quite a lot going on.”
“You can be very direct, did you know that?”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“It wasn’t meant as one.”
“Now who’s being direct?”
“Ooh, look, here we are!”
“Your ability to change to subject when it gets too difficult for you is unsurpassed.”
“Why, Donna, I had no idea you thought so highly of me!”
“Sorry, I should have said your ability to change the subject is only surpassed by your ability to talk complete rubbish.”
“Are you going to insult me at every one of these destinations?”
“Only if you give me such wonderful opportunities.”
“Hah.”
“And now you’re going to throw my sonic pen away.”
“It wasn’t your sonic pen.”
“Should’ve been. Actually, will be!”
“Hey, give that back! Donna – Donna, give my screwdriver back! What are you – you can’t – there’s no setting on that to – okay – now what are you – well, maybe you can use it to attract the two sonic devices to each other. How did you do that anyway?”
“Skill. Well, skill and a little bit of luck. Here, you can have your screwdriver back now.”
“Um…”
“I believe the words you’re looking for are ‘well’ and ‘done’, or else ‘you’re’ and ‘brilliant’, preferably in that order.”
“Tell you what, I’ll say it if you’ll give me the hug you never did give me when I said you could come with me in the TARDIS.”
“Well?”
“All right, yes, well done, Donna Noble. You’re brilliant.”
