Redpath
- [first lines]
- Gabriel Sneed: Sneed and Company offer their sincerest condolences, sir, in this most trying hour.
- Redpath: Grandmama had a good innings, Mr. Sneed. She was so full of life. I can't believe she's gone.
- Gabriel Sneed: Not gone, Mr. Redpath. Merely sleeping.
- Redpath: May I have a moment?
- Gabriel Sneed: Yes, of course. I shall be in the next room should you require anything.
- [after Sneed leaves, the body rises up and strangles Redpath. Sneed rushes back in]
- Gabriel Sneed: Oh, no. Gwyneth! Get down here now! We've got another one!
- Gabriel Sneed: I did the Bishop a favour, once. Made his nephew look like a cherub. Even though he'd been a fortnight in the weir. Perhaps he'll do us an exorcism on the cheap.
- [There is a knock at the door. Sneed and Gwyneth look up, alarmed. Sneed tells Gwyneth]
- Gabriel Sneed: Say I'm not in. Tell them we're closed. Just, just get rid of them.
- [In the parlor, Rose is just waking up, and while trying to come to her senses, she does not see a gassy spirit enter Mr. Redpath's body, causing him to sit up in his coffin]
- Gwyneth: [opening the door to find the Doctor and Charles Dickens] I'm sorry, sir, we're closed.
- Charles Dickens: Nonsense! Since when did an undertaker keep office hours? The dead don't die on schedule. I demand to see your master.
- Gwyneth: He's not in, sir.
- Charles Dickens: [tries to force the door open as Gwyneth closes it] Don't lie to me, girl!
- Gabriel Sneed: I'm awfully sorry, Mr. Dickens, but the mater's indisposed.
- [Behind her, a gas lamp flares up and the flames start flickering oddly]
- The Doctor: Having trouble with your gas?
- Charles Dickens: What in Shakespeare is going on?
- Rose Tyler: [suddenly, she notices Mr. Redpath's corpse sitting up in his coffin as he making zombie noises] Are you all right? You're kidding me, yeah? You're just kidding.
- [Redpath climbs out of his coffin]
- Rose Tyler: You are, you're kidding me, aren't ya?
- [He takes staggering steps towards her]
- Rose Tyler: Okay, not kidding!
- [She runs to the door and tries to open it. In the hallway, meanwhile, the Doctor has forced his way inside]
- Gwyneth: You're not allowed inside, sir.
- The Doctor: There's something inside the walls.
- [Inside the parlor, the corpse of Mrs. Peace also sits up and climbs out of her coffin]
- The Doctor: The gas pipes. Something's living inside the gas.
- [Desparate, Rose throws a vase at Mr. Redpath, but that only causes him to stumble back a bit. She then frantically rattles the doorknob]
- Rose Tyler: Let me out! Open the door!
- The Doctor: [outside] That's her.
- [He runs off to find her, Charles Dickens following him]
- Rose Tyler: Please, let me out!
- [Mrs. Peace and Mr. Redpath are advancing on her. In the hall, the Doctor and Dickens race past Sneed]
- Gabriel Sneed: How dare you, sir! This is my house!
- [Dickens charges past him too. He shakes his finger at Gwyneth as she runs after them]
- Gabriel Sneed: I told you!
- Rose Tyler: [still hammering on the door as the two bodies close in on her] Let me out! Somebody, open the door! Open the door!
- [Redpath clasps a hand over her mouth, muffling her scream. At that moment, the Doctor kicks the door in]
- The Doctor: I think this is MY dance.
- [releases Rose from Mr. Redpath's grasp]
- Charles Dickens: It's a prank? It must be. We're under some mesmeric influence.
- The Doctor: No, we're not, the dead are walking.
- [grins down at the panting Rose]
- The Doctor: Hi!
- Rose Tyler: Hi! Who's your friend?
- The Doctor: Charles Dickens.
- Rose Tyler: Oh. Okay.
- The Doctor: [to the corpses] My name's the Doctor. Who are you, then? What do you want?
- Redpath: [speaking with a voice overlaid by that of a ghost] We're failing. Open the rift, we're dying. Trapped in this form, cannot sustain. Help us.
- [He and Mrs. Peace raise their heads to the ceiling, and the gas leaves them with a wailing shriek, and then the bodies fall to the floor]
