Summary: The Doctor and Donna go back
“You daft git, imagining I really wanted to leave!”
“Well, you were very convincing, Donna.”
“You dumbo.”
“And then you're coming back.”
“Know what you are? A great big outer-space dunce.”
“Yeah.”
“And we never did go to any of those places you promised me. I particularly liked the sound of the Broken Moon of the Medusa Cascade. Don’t know about the Diamond Coral Reefs of Kataa Flo Ko. Bit too close to Midnight for my liking, that one. That reminds me, are we going to do the whole Midnight thing on this whistlestop tour?”
“We did say everywhere Donna.”
“Fine, you sit by the pool and I’ll go on the bus this time. Stop them from throwing you out.”
“Changing history.”
“Sorry, that was in poor taste, wasn’t it? Still, I don’t think I deserved your finger in my ear.”
“Didn’t mean to. It’s just – I always want to hug you when I think about that.”
“Really? Only when you think about that?”
“Well, not only then.”
“Behaving like this, no wonder my mother thought we were a couple.”
“Do you think it would have made things easier if we’d just told people we were?”
“But we weren’t!”
“No, I know. Not then. But we are now. So now we have to keep telling people we are because they think we aren’t. I just think maybe it would have been easier if we’d said we were a couple from the beginning.”
“You do love confusing things, don’t you?”
“Only sometimes. My life tends to be complicated. I just try to make sense of it.”
“You should warn people about that before you drag them along.”
“Well, you figured it out of your own accord. Turned me down flat, as I recall.”
“Yeah, we already saw that part and moved along to the happy reunion bit.”
“Where the first thing you did was blame me and say – scream, actually – that you should have stayed home.”
“Tell you what, let’s dangle you twenty-eight storeys above the ground and see what you scream.”
“You’d love that!”
“Well, it would be kind of fun. Are we actually going to get out of the TARDIS now or would you rather we stayed here? Or did you land us on another lake bed?”
“Nope, just waiting for you to stop talking nonsense.”
“Been ready for ages. Come on. When are we? What’s happening?”
“I’m – the other me – just about to turn up on your doorstep.”
“Honestly, which of us had had the worse day? You only had to put up with a recalcitrant car. I had to deal with my bloody mother.”
“You know, that’s not even a fair fight. At least you had Wilf for support.”
“And why you couldn’t mention that you’d met him before is beyond me.”
“Donna, there are more than seven and a half million people in London. What’s the likelihood that you and he would be related?”
“How many other people do you know that have the guts to stay in London when there’s a fear of alien invasion?”
“Well, where were you at the time?”
“Investigating suspicious goings-on in Ireland. I know you don’t always come to England so I thought I’d expand my search to other places.”
“You really are brilliant, did you know that?”
“I believe you’ve mentioned it a couple of times, but I can always do with hearing it again.”
“Some other time perhaps. Preferably when your grandfather isn’t about to start choking to death. Although your mother has to be all suspicious of me first.”
“Well, really, considering the circumstances, who could blame her? Last time you saw her, I had just vanished in a cloud of gold.”
“Huon particles.”
“I know. But they were gold to her. I think, for a while, she thought of pawning me to see if she could make any money.”
“Did you keep the video?”
“I tried to. Mum sent it off to You’ve Been Framed.”
“Of course she did.”
“Won £250.”
“I bet it did. I can’t imagine anything else beating it.”
“Even got played as part of the ‘What Happens Next?’ segment where you’ve got to guess the ending.”
“I’m sure your mother was proud.”
“She was, rather, yes. Even more proud that she managed to get the deposit back from the place where we had the reception because they couldn’t keep the place safe from the robot Santas.”
“I’m surprised she hasn’t tried to sue me for damages. Oh, no, I’m forgetting. It was her daughter that wanted to do that.”
“Thanks for the reminder.”
“Anytime.”
“If it’s any comfort, I don’t want to do it anymore.”

Well, the Doctor would've re-evaluated his own day if he'd been around Sylvia more. And he WAS a dunce there! Why didn't Donna joke about him getting nervous when a former companion is getting along with the current one? Can't you hear the potential one-liners?!
