The Doctor
- [mouthing words silently and exaggeratedly]
- The Doctor: Donna?
- Donna Noble: Doc-tor!
- The Doctor: Wh - what - w - what?
- Donna Noble: Oh! My! *God*!
- The Doctor: How?
- Donna Noble: [pointing at her face with both hands] It's me!
- The Doctor: [nodding, gesturing to eyes, then Donna] Yeah, I can see that.
- Donna Noble: [pointing to where she's standing, then two thumbs up] Oh, this... is... *brilliant*!
- The Doctor: [pointing thrice at Donna] W - wha - what the hell are *you* *doing* *there*?
- Donna Noble: [pointing to eyes, then at The Doctor] I... was looking... for... you!
- The Doctor: [points at self questioningly] What for?
- Donna Noble: [miming reading the paper] Read it...
- Donna Noble: [typing fingers in the air] ... on the Internet...
- Donna Noble: [wiggling fingers around mouth] ... so weird...
- Donna Noble: [walking fingers] ... crept along...
- Donna Noble: [thumb into room, hand-as-mouth] ... heard them talking...
- Donna Noble: [ducks down, comes back up, points] ... looked, ah! *You*!
- The Doctor: [imperceptibly nods]
- Donna Noble: [thumbs back at Miss Foster, looks, freezes] Th...
- [Miss Foster has stopped talking and is staring at Donna. Miss Foster turns and looks right at The Doctor. The Doctor turns to see Miss Foster]
- Miss Foster: [aloud] Are we interrupting you?
- The Doctor: The last time, with Martha, it got complicated. And that was all my fault. I just want a mate.
- Donna Noble: You just want to mate?
- The Doctor: I just want *a* mate!
- Donna Noble: You're not matin' with me Sunshine!
- The Doctor: A mate! I want *a* mate!
- Donna Noble: Well, just as well, because I'm not having any of that nonsense! I mean, you're just a long streak of nothing, y'know, alien nothing!
- Donna Noble: [watching the Adipose getting beamed on to the nursery ship] What are you going to do then? Blow them up?
- The Doctor: They're just children; they can't help where they came from.
- Donna Noble: Oh, well that makes a change from last time. That Martha must've done you good.
- The Doctor: She did, yeah. She did...
- [sniffs]
- The Doctor: She fancied me.
- Donna Noble: Mad Martha, that one. Blind Martha. Charity Martha.
- Donna Noble: [enters ADIPOSE Industries through the front doors] Donna Noble, Health and Safety.
- The Doctor: [enters the building by using his sonic screwdriver to disable the alarms on the emergency exit] John Smith, Health and Safety.
- The Doctor: Tell me, Roger, have you got a cat flap?
- [next scene, on floor looking through cat flap]
- Roger Davey: It was here when I bought the house. I never bothered with it, really. I'm not a cat person.
- The Doctor: No, I've met cat people. You're nothing like them.
- Roger Davey: Is that what it is, though: cats getting inside the house?
- The Doctor: Well, thing about cat flaps is, they don't just let things in; they let things out as well.
- Roger Davey: Like what?
- The Doctor: "The fat just walks away."
- Miss Foster: Well, at last.
- Donna Noble: Hello.
- The Doctor: Nice to meet you! I'm the Doctor.
- Donna Noble: And I'm Donna.
- Miss Foster: Partners in crime. And evidently of other world origin, judging by your sonic technology.
- The Doctor: [feels through his pockets and finds Miss Foster's sonic pen] Oh, yes! I've still got your sonic pen! Nice! I like it, sleek. It's definitely sleek.
- Donna Noble: Oh, it's definitely sleek.
- The Doctor: Yes, and if you were to sign your real name. That would be...
- Miss Foster: Matron Cofelia, of the Five-Straighten, Classabindi Nursery Fleet, Intergalactic Class.
- The Doctor: And that is using humans as surrogates.
- Miss Foster: I've been employed by the Adiposian First Family to foster a new generation after their breeding planet was lost.
- The Doctor: What do you mean, "lost"? How do you lose a planet?
- Miss Foster: Oh politics are none of my concern. I'm just here to take care of the children on behalf of the parents.
- Donna Noble: Like an outer space supernanny?
- Miss Foster: Yes, if you like!
- Donna Noble: So, so those little things, they're made out of fat. But that woman, Stacey Campbell, there was nothing left of her.
- Miss Foster: Well, in a crisis, the Adipose can convert bone and hair and internal organs. Makes them a little bit sick, the poor things.
- Donna Noble: What about poor Stacey?
- The Doctor: Seeding a Level 5 planet is against galactic laws.
- Miss Foster: [turns to the Doctor] Are you threatening me?
- The Doctor: I'm trying to help you, Matron. This is your one chance, because if you don't call this off, then I'll have to stop you.
- Miss Foster: Then how do you think you can stop all of this?
- [her bodyguards point their machine guns at the Doctor and Donna]
- The Doctor: Hold on! Hold on! One more thing, before dying! Do you know what happens when you hold two identical sonic devices against each other?
- [He takes out his own sonic screwdriver]
- Miss Foster: No.
- The Doctor: Nor me! Let's find out!
- [he jams the two sonic screwdrivers together and activates both, emitting a loud, deafening pulsing sound that also shakes the room such so that it shatters a window]
- [meeting on the stairs; both hug each other]
- Donna Noble: [high-pitched voice] Oh my God! I don't believe it!
- [looks him over]
- Donna Noble: Oh, you got the same suit!
- [as her voice returns to normal]
- Donna Noble: Don't you ever change?
- The Doctor: Yeah, thanks Donna; not right now.
- [look beneath them to see Miss foster & her gunmen running up the stairway]
- The Doctor: [to Donna] Just like old times.
- [both take off up the stairs]
- Donna Noble: [knocks at Stacey Campbell's door] Stacey Campbell? My name's Donna.
- [She holds up her ID card to prove it]
- Donna Noble: I represent ADIPOSE Industries, and you're on the list of our valued customers.
- The Doctor: [knocks at Roger Davey's door] Mr. Roger Davey, I'm calling on behalf of ADIPOSE Industries.
- [holds up his psychic paper]
- The Doctor: I just need to ask you a few questions.
- Donna Noble: [after the Doctor pulls her in] I was right, it's always like for you!
- The Doctor: Oh yes! And off we go!
- [both smiling, run out of the room]
- Penny Carter: [struggling in the chair] Oi!
- The Doctor: [poking his head in the doorway] Sorry.
- [uses his screwdriver to break her ropes; disappears from sight as she tries to get them off]
- The Doctor: [pokes his head in again] Oh, and do yourself a favor; get out.
- The Doctor: So far they're just losing weight, but the Matron's gone up to emergency parthenogenesis.
- Donna Noble: And that's when they convert...
- The Doctor: Skeletons, organs, everything. A million people are gonna die!
- Roger Davey: You wake up, and it's disappeared overnight. Well, technically speaking, it's gone by ten past 1:00 in the morning.
- The Doctor: What makes you say that?
- Roger Davey: That's when I get woken up.
- [later]
- Roger Davey: It is driving me mad. Ten minutes past 1:00 every night, bang on the dot, without fail, the burglar alarm goes off. I've had experts in. I've had it replaced, I've even phoned watchdogs. But no, at ten past 1:00 in the morning, off it goes.
