At night, a woman jumps a fence leading onto a private property and looks around so as to see if she was caught. The camera pulls back to show a sign on the fence that reads 'DANGER KEEP OUT'.
After kicking in some boards and getting into the house, the woman begins to look around the main floor with a torch, taking the occasional picture. She notices a place on the wall where the paper has begun peeling and reaches up to tear it back, first finding the word 'BEWARE'. Pulling back more, 'THE WEEPING ANGEL' is revealed and, as she pulls back even more, 'OH, AND DUCK! REALLY DUCK!' She pulls back even more, starting at the sight of her name on the wall, 'SALLY SPARROW'. Pulling back what seems to be the last strip, it says, 'DUCK, NOW'.
As she hears glass break, she ducks and a large stone hits the wall where her head was. She looks at the stone with disbelief and turns to the window, using her torch in an attempt to find the culprit, seeing only a Weeping Angel statue. She moves toward the window, but returns to the was and removes the last strip of paper.
'LOVE FROM THE DOCTOR (1969)'
Climbing a flight of stairs, Sally calls out.SALLYKathy?
In a room visible down the corridor, the Doctor can be seen on a monitor.DOCTOR (On monitor.)
Your life could depend on this. Don't blink! Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck.
Sally approaches the monitors as he speaks, the video stopping as she steps into the doorway. The looks around to see various screens with the Doctor and Martha on them.KATHYHello?
A mobile rings as a woman sleeps, waking her. She answers it.
SALLYBit freaked. Need to talk. Making you a coffee.
KATHYSally Sparrow, it's one in the morning. You think I'm coming round at one in the morning?
SALLYNo. I'm in the kitchen. What's that on all those screens in your front room?
KATHYOh, God! Oh, God! Sally, you've met my brother Larry, haven't you?
SALLYNo.
KATHYYou're about to.
LARRYOkay. Not sure, but really, really hoping. (points down) Pants?
SALLYNo.
KATHYPut them on! Put them on! I hate you! What're you thinking?! Sorry. My useless brother. Sally? What's wrong? What's happened?
KATHYOkay! Let's investigate! You and me, girl investigators. Love it! Hey! Sparrow and Nightingale! That so works!
SALLYBit ITV.
KATHYI know! What did you come here for, anyway?
SALLYI love old things. They make me feel sad.
KATHYWhat's good about sad?
SALLYIt's happy for deep people.
Sally and Kathy stand outside, looking at the weeping Angel statue.SALLYThe Weeping Angel.
KATHYNot goin' in my garden.
SALLYIt's moved.
KATHYIt's what?
SALLYSince yesterday. I'm sure of it. It's closer. It's got closer to the house.
Sally walks along the wall where she tore the paper off.SALLYHow can my name be written here? How is that possible?
The doorbell rings.KATHYWho'd come here? What are you doing?! It could be a burglar!
SALLYA burglar who rings the doorbell?
KATHYOkay. I'll stay here in case of...
SALLYIn case of...?
KATHY...incidents?
Sally answers the door to find a man, Malcolm.MALCOLMI'm looking for Sally Sparrow.
SALLYHow did you know I'd be here?
MALCOLMI was told to bring this letter on this date at this exact time to Sally Sparrow.
SALLYLooks old.
MALCOLMIt is old. I'm sorry, do you have anything with a photograph on it, like a driving license?
Kathy walks around to the quiet sound of Sally and Malcolm in the background. She looks at the Weeping Angel, eyes still covering its face, but when she turns away its hands have moved lower, over its mouth.SALLYHow did he know I was coming here? I didn't tell anyone. How could anyone have known?
MALCOLMIt's all a bit complicated. I'm not sure I understand it myself. I'm sorry, I feel really stupid, but I was told to make absolutely sure. It's so hard to tell with these little photographs, isn't it?
SALLYApparently.
Kathy watches them through a mirror as the Weeping Angel moves more.MALCOLMWell, here goes, I suppose. Funny feeling, after all these years.
SALLYWho's it from?
MALCOLMWell, that's a long story, actually.
SALLYGimme a name.
The Weeping Angel is just behind Kathy, reaching out a hand to Kathy.MALCOLMKatherine Wainwright. But she specified I should tell you that prior to marriage she was called Kathy Nightingale.
A loud noise sounds from where Kathy was.SALLYKathy?
MALCOLMKathy, yes. Katherine Costello Nightingale.
SALLYIs this a joke?
MALCOLMA joke?!
SALLYKathy, is this you?
Sally starts walking around, looking for Kathy.SALLYVery funny. Kathy?
Kathy stands up in the middle of a field to the sound of mooing cattle and several of the animals in the background.SALLYKathy?! Kathy!?
MALCOLMPlease, you need to take this. I promised.
Kathy approaches a man.KATHYExcuse me? Where am I? I was in London. I was in the middle of London.
BENYou're in Hull.
KATHYNo, I'm not.
BENThis is Hull.
KATHYNo, it isn't.
BENYou're in Hull.
KATHYI'm not in Hull. Stop saying Hull.
SALLYWho are you? Why are you here?
MALCOLMI made a promise.
SALLYWho to?
MALCOLMMy grandmother. Katherine Costello Nightingale.
BENDon't have that in London. There's no call for it. It's all Hull.
Ben passes Kathy his paper, clearly dated as 5th December, 1920.KATHY1920?
SALLYYour grandmother?
MALCOLMYes. She died 20 years ago.
Sally takes the parcel he's offered her and opens it, looking through the pictures of Kathy.SALLYSo they're related?
MALCOLMI'm sorry?
SALLYMy Kathy, your grandmother - they're practically identical.
BENWhere are you going?
KATHYMy dearest Sally Sparrow, if my grandson has done as he promises he will, then as you read these words it has been mere minutes since we last spoke. For you. For me, it has been over 60 years. The third of the photographs is of my children. The youngest is Sally. I named her after you, of course.
SALLYThis is sick! This is totally sick! Kathy? Kathy! Kathy?
Sally runs up the stairs as she yells, slowing at the top. Several Weeping Angel statues are arranged in the area. There's the sound of wings and she turns to see another statue. One of the Weeping Angels is holding a key on a thin rope of twine and as Sally crouches to look, the angel behind her moves it's hands. The door of the house closes.SALLYNo, wait! Hang on!
Sally runs off, the Weeping angel that was holding the key now holding it's arm outstretched. Malcolm makes his way from the house hastily. Sally reaches the bottom of the stairs and picks up Kathy's letter. She runs out of the house, looking both ways for Malcolm before walking away, the camera lingering on the Weeping Angels that watch her from the windows.
Sally sits in a cafe, reading the letter.KATHYI suppose, unless I live to a really exceptional old age, I will be long gone as you read this. Don't feel sorry for me. I have led a good and full life. I've loved a good man and been well loved in return. You would have liked Ben. He was the very first person I met in 1920.
KATHYAre you following me?
BENYeah.
KATHYAre you gonna stop following me?
BENNo, I don't think so.
Sally walks through a cemetery, crouching at Kathy's gravestone.KATHYTo take one breath in 2007 and the next in 1920 is a strange way to start a new life, but a new life is exactly what I've always wanted.
SALLY1902? You told him you were eighteen? You lying cow!
A statue watches her leave the cemetery.KATHYMy mum and dad are gone by your time, so really there's only Lawrence to tell. He works at the DVD store on Queen Street. I don't know what you're going to say to him, but I know you'll think of something. Just tell him I love him.
SALLYExcuse me, I'm looking for Lawrence Nightingale.
BANTOThrough the back.
SALLYHello?
DOCTOR (On monitor.)
Martha!
MARTHA (On monitor.)
Sorry.
DOCTOR
Quite possibly. 'Fraid so.
LARRYOh. Hello. Can I help you?
SALLYHi.
DOCTOR
38.
LARRYEr, just a mo. (pauses the monitor) Hang on. We've met, haven't we?
SALLYIt'll come to you.
LARRYOh, my God!
SALLYThere it is.
LARRYSorry. Sorry again about the whole...
SALLYMessage from your sister.
LARRYOh! Okay! What? What is it? What's the message?
SALLYShe's had to go away for a bit.
LARRYWhere?
SALLYJust a work thing. Nothing to worry about.
LARRYOkay.
SALLYAnd...
LARRYAnd what?
SALLYShe loves you.
LARRYShe what?!
SALLYShe said to say. She just sort of mentioned it. She loves you. There, that's nice, isn't it?
LARRYIs she ill?
SALLYNo! No.
LARRYAm I ill?
SALLYNo!
LARRYIs this a trick?
SALLYNo. She loves you.
DOCTOR
Yeh...yeah. People don't understand time. It's not what you think it is.
SALLYWho is this guy?
LARRYSorry, the pause thing keeps slipping. Stupid thing.
SALLYLast night at Kathy's, you had him on those screens. That same guy. Talking about, I dunno, blinking or something.
LARRYYeah, the bit about the blinking is great! I was checking to see if they were all the same.
SALLYWhat were the same? What is this? Who is he?
LARRYAn Easter egg.
SALLYExcuse me?
LARRYLike a DVD extra, yeah? You know how on DVDs they put extras on, documentaries and stuff? Well, ometimes they put on hidden ones, and they call them Easter eggs. You have to look for them, follow a bunch of clues in the menu screen.
DOCTOR
Complicated.
LARRYSorry. It's interesting, actually. He is on seventeen different DVDs. There are seventeen totally unrelated DVDs, all with him on, always hidden away, always a secret. Not even the publishers know how he got there. I've talked to the manufacturers, right? They don't even know. He's like...he's a ghost DVD extra. Just shows up where he's not supposed to be. But only on those. Those seventeen.
SALLYWell, what does he do?
LARRYJust sits there making random remarks. It's like we're hearing half a conversation. Me and the guys are always trying to work out the other half.
SALLYWhen you say you and the guys, you mean the internet, don't you?
LARRYHow d'you know?
SALLYSpooky, isn't it?
DOCTOR
Very complicated.
BANTOFlorence? Need you!
LARRY'Scuse me a sec.
DOCTOR
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.
SALLYStarted well, that sentence.
DOCTOR
It got away from me, yeah.
SALLYOkay, that was weird. Like you can hear me.
DOCTOR
Well, I can hear you.
SALLYOkay, that's enough. I've had enough now. I've had a long day and I've had bloody enough! Sorry. Bad day.
LARRYGot you the list.
SALLYWhat?
LARRYThe seventeen DVDs. I thought you might be interested.
SALLYYeah, great, thanks!
BANTOGo to the police, you stupid woman! Why does nobody ever just go to the police?
SALLYLook, I know how mad I'm sounding.
DESK SARGEANTShall we try it from the beginning this time?
SALLYOkay. There's this house, a big old house, been empty for years, falling apart. Wester Drumlins, out by the estate. You've probably seen it.
DESK SARGEANTWester Drumlin?
SALLYYes.
DESK SARGEANTCould you just wait here for a minute?
Sally looks out the window to see two Weeping Angels. She blinks and they are gone.SALLYOkay, cracking up now.
BILLYHi. DI Billy Shipton. Wester Drumlins, that's mine. Can't talk to you now, got a thing I can't be late for, so if you could just... Hello!
SALLYHello.
BILLYEh, Marcie, can you tell them I'm gonna be late for that thing?
SALLYAll of them?
BILLYOver the last two years, yeah. They all still have personal items in them and a couple still had the motor running.
SALLYSo over the last two years the owners of all of these vehicles have driven up to Wester Drumlins House, parked outside and just disappeared.
Sally sees the TARDIS.SALLYWhat's that?
BILLYAh! The pride of the Wester Drumlins collection. We found that there, too. Somebody's idea of a joke, I suppose.
SALLYBut what is it? What's a police box?
BILLYWell, it's a special kind of phone box for policemen. They used to have them all over. But this isn't a real one. The phone's just a dummy, and the windows are the wrong size. We can't even get in it. Ordinary Yale lock, but nothing fits. But that's not the big question. See, you're missing the big question.
SALLYOkay, what's the big question?
BILLYWill you have a drink with me?
SALLYI'm sorry?
BILLYDrink, you, me, now?
SALLYAren't you on duty, Detective Inspector Shipton?
BILLYNope. Knocked off before I left. Told 'em I had a family crisis.
SALLYWhy?
BILLYBecause life is short and you are hot. Drink?
SALLYNo.
BILLYEver?
SALLYMaybe.
BILLYPhone number?
SALLYMoving kind of fast, DI Shipton.
BILLYBilly. I'm off duty.
SALLYAren't you just!
BILLYIs that your phone number?
SALLYJust my phone number. Not a promise. Not a guarantee. Not an IOU. Just a phone number.
BILLYAnd that's Sally...?
SALLYSally Shipton. Sparrow! Sally Sparrow. I'm going now. Don't look at me.
BILLYI'll phone you!
SALLYDon't look at me.
BILLYPhone you tomorrow.
SALLYDon't look at me.
BILLYMight even phone you tonight.
SALLYDon't look at me!
BILLYDefinitely gonna phone you, gorgeous girl!
SALLYYou definitely better!
Billy looks over to see the Weeping Angels around the TARDIS. He walks around to investigate it and blinks.BILLYOrdinary Yale lock, but nothing fits.
Sally leaves the building, looking around. She hurries across the street and pulls the key that she took from the Weeping Angel out of her pocket.
Sally hurries back in to find Billy and the TARDIS gone.
Billy hits back against a wall, falling to the ground.DOCTORWelcome.
BILLYWhere am I?
The Doctor and Martha approach, the Doctor holding a device that clicks and beeps.DOCTOR1969. Not bad,as it goes. You've got the moon landing to look forward to.
MARTHAOh, the moon landing's brilliant. We went four times. Back when we had transport...
DOCTORWorking on it!
BILLYHow did I get here?
DOCTORThe same way we did. The touch of an angel. Same one, probably, since you ended up in the same year. No no no no no, don't get up. Time travel without a capsule, nasty. Catch your breath, don't go swimming for half an hour.
BILLYI don't. I can't.
DOCTORFascinating race, the Weeping Angels. The only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely. No mess, no fuss, they just zap you into the past and let you live to death. The rest of your life used up and blown away in the blink of an eye. You die in the past, and in the present they consume the energy of all the days you might have had, all your stolen moments. They're creatures of the abstract. They live off potential energy.
BILLYWhat in God's name are you talking about?
MARTHATrust me. Just nod when he stops for breath.
DOCTORTracked you down with this. This is my timey-wimey detector. It goes ding when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at 30 paces, whether you want it to or not, actually, so I've learned to stay away from hens. It's not pretty when they blow.
BILLYI don't understand. Where am I?
MARTHA1969, like he says.
DOCTORNormally, I'd offer you a lift home, but somebody nicked my motor. So I need you to take a message to Sally Sparrow. And I'm sorry, Billy, I am very, very sorry. It's gonna take you a while.
Sally's mobile rings.SALLYHello? Billy, where are you? Where?
Sally walks in hospital.SALLYBilly?
Sally turns away. Billy wakes up.BILLYIt was raining when we met.
SALLYIt's the same rain.
A bit later, Sally is looking a picture of Billy and a woman on their wedding day.SALLYShe looks nice.
BILLYHer name was Sally, too.
SALLYSally Shipton.
BILLYSally Shipton! I often thought about looking for you before tonight, but apparently it would've torn a hole in the fabric of space and time and destroyed two thirds of the universe. Also I'd lost my hair.
SALLYTwo thirds of the universe. Where'd you get that?
BILLYThere's a man in 1969. He sent me with a message for you.
SALLYWhat man?
BILLYThe Doctor.
SALLYAnd what was the message?
BILLYJust this. Look at the list.
SALLYWhat does that mean? Is that it, look at the list?
BILLYHe said you'd have it by now. A list of seventeen DVDs. I didn't stay a policeman back then. Got into publishing. Then video publishing. Then DVDs, of course.
SALLYYou put the Easter Egg on?
BILLYHave you noticed what all seventeen DVDs have in common yet? I suppose it's hard for you, in a way.
SALLYHow could the Doctor have even known I had a list? I only just got this.
BILLYI asked him how, but he said he couldn't tell me. He said you'd understand it one day, but that I never would.
SALLYSoon as I understand it, I'll come and tell you.
BILLYNo, gorgeous girl, you can't. There's only tonight. He told me all those years ago that we'd only meet again this one time. On the night I die.
SALLYOh, Billy.
BILLYIt's kept me going. I'm an old, sick man. But I've had something to look forward to. Ah, life is long. And you are hot. Oh, look at my hands. They're old man's hands. How did that happen?
SALLYI'll stay. I'm going to stay with you. Okay?
BILLYThank you, Sally Sparrow. I have 'til the rain stops.
Phone rings.LARRYBanto's.
SALLYThey're mine.
LARRYWhat?
SALLYThe DVDs on the list. The seventeen DVDs. What they've got in common is me. They're all the DVDs I own. The Easter Egg was intended for me!
LARRYYou've only got seventeen DVDs?
SALLYDo you have a portable DVD player?
LARRYCourse, why?
SALLYI want you to meet me.
LARRYWhere?
SALLYWester Drumlins.
LARRYYou live in Scooby Doo's house.
SALLYFor God's sake, I don't live here.
LARRYOkay, this is the one with the clearest sound. Slightly better picture quality on this one, but I don't--
SALLYDoesn't matter.
LARRYOkay. There he is.
SALLYThe Doctor.
LARRYWho's the Doctor?
SALLYHe's the Doctor.
DOCTOR (On monitor.)
Yep. That's me.
SALLYOkay, that was scary.
LARRYNo, it sounds like he's replying, but he always says that.
DOCTOR
Yes, I do.
LARRYAnd that.
DOCTOR
Yep, and this.
SALLYHe can hear us. Oh, my God, you can really hear us!
LARRYOf course he can't hear us. Look! I've got a transcript, see, everything he says. "Yep, that's me". "Yes, I do". "Yep, and this". Next it's...
DOCTOR & LARRY
Are you going to read out the whole thing?
LARRYSorry.
SALLYWho are you?
DOCTOR
I'm a time traveller. Or I was. I'm stuck in 1969.
MARTHA (On monitor, moving into frame.)
We're stuck. All of space and time, he promised me. Now I've got a job in a shop, I've got to support him!
DOCTOR
Martha!
MARTHA (Moving out of frame.)
Sorry.
SALLYI've seen this bit before.
DOCTOR
Quite possibly.
SALLY1969, that's where you're talking from?
DOCTOR
'Fraid so.
SALLYBut you're replying to me. You can't know exactly what I'm gonna say, 40 years before I say it!
DOCTOR
38.
LARRYI'm getting this down! I'm writing in your bits.
SALLYHow? How is this possible? Tell me!
LARRYNot so fast.
DOCTOR
People don't understand time. It's not what you think it is.
SALLYThen what is it?
DOCTOR
Complicated.
SALLYTell me.
DOCTOR
Very complicated.
SALLYI'm clever and I'm listening. And don't patronise me because people have died, and I'm not happy. Tell me.
DOCTOR
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.
SALLYYeah, I've seen this bit before. You said that sentence got away from you.
DOCTOR
It got away from me, yeah.
SALLYNext thing you're going to say is, "Well, I can hear you".
DOCTORWell, I can hear you.
SALLYThis isn't possible.
LARRYNo. It's brilliant!
DOCTOR
Not hear you exactly, but I know everything you're going to say.
LARRYAlways gives me the shivers, that bit.
SALLYHow can you know what I'm going to say?
DOCTOR
Look to your left.
LARRYWhat does he mean by, "Look to your left"? I've written tons about that on the forums. I think it's a political statement.
SALLYHe means you. What are you doing?
LARRYI'm writing in your bits. So I've got a complete transcript of the whole conversation. Wait until this hits the net. This will explode the egg forums.
DOCTOR
I've got a copy of the finished transcript. It's on my Autocue.
SALLYHow can you have a copy of the finished transcript? It is still being written.
DOCTOR
I told you. I'm a time traveller. I got it in the future.
SALLYOkay, let me get my head 'round this. You're reading from a transcript of a conversation you're still having? Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey. Actually, never mind that. (To Larry.)
You can do shorthand?
LARRYSo?
DOCTOR
What matters is we can communicate. We have got big problems now. They've taken the blue box, haven't they? The angels have the phone box.
LARRYThe angels have the phone box! That's my favourite, I've got it on a tee-shirt!
SALLYWhat do you mean, angels? You mean those statue things?
DOCTOR
Creatures from another world.
SALLYBut they're just statues.
DOCTOR
Only when you see them.
SALLYWhat does that mean?
DOCTOR
Lonely assassins, they were called. No-one knows where they came from. They're as old as the universe, or very nearly. They've survived this long as they have the most perfect defence system ever evolved. They are quantum-locked. They don't exist when being observed. The moment they're seen by any other living creature they freeze into rock. No choice. It's a fact of their biology. In the sight of any living thing, they literally turn to stone. And you can't kill a stone. Course, a stone can't kill you either. But then you turn your head away, then you blink, and oh, yes it can!
SALLYDon't take your eyes off that.
DOCTOR
That's why they cover their eyes. They're not weeping, they can't risk looking at each other. Their greatest asset is their greatest curse. They can never be seen. The loneliest creatures in the universe. And I'm sorry, I am very, very sorry, it's up to you now.
SALLYWhat am I supposed to do?
DOCTOR
The blue box, it's my time machine. There is a world of time energy in there they could feast on forever. The damage they can do can switch off the sun. You have got to send it back to me!
SALLYHow? How?
DOCTOR
And that's it, I'm afraid. There's no more from you on the transcript, that's all I've got. I dunno what stopped you talking, but I can guess. They're coming. The angels are coming for you. But listen, your life could depend on this. Don't blink! Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink! Good luck!
SALLYNo, don't, you can't!
LARRYI'll rewind him!
SALLYWhat good would that do?! You're not looking at the statue?
LARRYNeither are you.
They look to see the statue is far closer, it's face distorted.SALLYKeep looking at it. Keep looking at it!
LARRYThere's just one, right, there's just this one. We're okay if we keep staring at this one statue, everything's gonna be fine.
SALLYThere's three more.
LARRYThree?!
SALLYThey were upstairs, I think I heard them moving.
LARRYWhere? Three, moving where?
SALLYI'll look around, I'm going to check. Keep looking at this one, don't blink. Remember what he said, don't even blink!
LARRYWho blinks? I'm too scared to blink.
SALLYOkay. We're going to the door. Front door. Okay. We can't both get to the front door without taking our eyes off that thing. You stay here.
LARRYWhat?!
SALLYI'll be just round the corner, stay here! They've locked it. They've locked us in!
LARRYWhy?
SALLYI've got something they want.
LARRYWhat?
SALLYThe key, I took it last time I was here. They followed me to get it back. I led them to the blue box. Now they've got that!
LARRYGive them the key!
SALLYI'm gonna check the back door, you wait here.
LARRYGive them the key, give them what they want! Sally, no, what if they come behind me?!
SALLYHang on!
LARRYOh, God! Oh, God!
SALLYIt's locked!
Larry looks away from the Weeping Angel briefly and it advances on him. He looks back barely in time.LARRYSally! Sally!
SALLYIt won't open!
LARRYSally, please, I can't do this! Sally, hurry up! Where are you?!
SALLYLarry! They've blocked off the back door, but there's a cellar. There might be a way out, delivery hatch or something.
LARRYI'm coming! I can't stay here.
SALLYOkay, boys, I know how this works. You can't move so long as I can see you. Whole world in the box, the Doctor says. Hope he's not lying, 'cause I don't see how else we're getting out. Oh, and there's your one.
LARRYWhy's it pointing at the...light?
The light flickers.SALLYOh, my God! It's turning out the lights!
LARRYQuickly!
SALLYI can't find the lock!
LARRYSally, hurry up! Get it open! They're getting faster, Sally, come on!
SALLYIt won't turn!
LARRYSally!
They get into the TARDIS, the Weeping Angels surrounding the ship as they close the doors.DOCTORThis is security protocol 712. This time capsule has detected the presence of an authorised control disc, valid one journey.
A blue, holographic Doctor appears on the high deck.
Larry opens a DVD case and the disc glows.DOCTORPlease insert the disc and prepare for departure.
SALLYLooks like a DVD player. There's a slot.
The Angels rock the TARDIS.LARRYThey're trying to get in!
SALLYWell, hurry up then!
The TARDIS begins to dematerialise around them.LARRYWhat's happening?
SALLYOh, my God! It's leaving us behind! Doctor, no, you can't! Doctor!
Larry and Sally huddle on the floor where the TARDIS was.SALLYLook at them! Quick, look at them!
LARRY I don't think we need to. He tricked them, The Doctor tricked them. They're looking at each other. They're never gonna move again.
ONE YEAR LATERLARRYCan you mind the shop? I'm just nipping next door for some milk.
SALLYYeah, no worries.
LARRYWhat's this?
SALLYNothing.
LARRYSally! Can't you let it go?
SALLYOf course I can't let it go!
LARRYThis is over.
SALLYHow did the Doctor know where to write the words on the wall? How could he get the transcript? Where did he get all that information from?
LARRYLook, some things you never find out. And that's okay.
SALLYNo, it isn't.
LARRYEver think this might be getting in the way of...other things?
SALLYWe just run a shop together. That's all it is, just a shop.
LARRYAnyway...milk. Back in a mo.
Larry heads out. Sally looks out the window to see the Doctor and Martha climb out of a taxicab and runs out.SALLYDoctor! Doctor! Doctor!
DOCTORHello! Sorry, bit of a rush, there's a sort of thing happening, fairly important we stop it.
SALLYMy God, it's you, it really is you. Oh, you don't remember me, do you?
MARTHAWe don't have time for this. Migration's started.
DOCTORLook, sorry, I've got a bit of a complex life. Things don't always happen to me in order. Gets confusing, especially at weddings, I'm rubbish at weddings, especially my own.
SALLYOh, my God! Of course, you're a time traveller. It hasn't happened yet! None of it, it's still in your future!
DOCTORWhat hasn't happened?
MARTHADoctor! Twenty minutes to red hatching!
