Donna Noble
- [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: [Donna aproaches a stranger] Listen, there's a woman going to come along. Tall blonde woman called Sylvia. Tell her, that bin there. It'll all make sense.
- [She heads back to the TARDIS, toward the past, future and everything in between. The stranger she was talking to turns back towards the camera - she is ROSE TYLER. Looking worn, depressed. She turns back around, walks away, and then simply vanishes into thin air...]
- 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.
- 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.
- Wilfred Mott: [looking at the night sky] ... one day; 100 years time we'll be striding out amongst the stars. Dueling about with all them aliens. Just you wait.
- Donna Noble: [smiling] You really believe in all that stuff, don't you?
- Wilfred Mott: [chuckles] All over the place these days. If I wait here long enough...
- Donna Noble: I don't suppose you've seen a little blue box?
- Wilfred Mott: Is that slang for something?
- Donna Noble: [laughs] No. I mean it. If you ever see a little blue box fly up there in the sky, you shout for me Gramps. Oh you just shout.
- 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.
- Sylvia Noble: [Donna just walked in; from the other room] And what time's this?
- Donna Noble: [rolls her eyes] How old am I?
- Sylvia Noble: [pokes her head around the corner] Not old enough to use a phone.
- 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!
- [after spending all day hiding in a toilet stall, Donna emerges, but then gets a call from her mother, and hides back in the stall]
- Donna Noble: Not now!
- Sylvia Noble: I need the car. Where are you?
- Donna Noble: [improvising, and whispering] The car went missing!
- Sylvia Noble: Why are you whispering?
- Donna Noble: I'm in church.
- Sylvia Noble: What would you do in church?
- Donna Noble: I'm praying.
- Sylvia Noble: [scoffs] A bit late for that, I imagine.
- Wilfred Mott: What's she in church for?
- Sylvia Noble: Hush, you! Go up the hill.
- [to Donna]
- Sylvia Noble: Well, I need the car. I'm going out with Suzette Chambers. She's asked all the Wednesday girls. Apparently she's been on those ADIPOSE pills. She says she looks marvelous.
- [Donna hangs up because Miss Foster and her bodyguards have burst into the bathroom and are looking for her]
- Miss Foster: We know you're in here. So let's make this nice and easy and show yourself.
- [Donna puts her feet up to hide herself]
- Miss Foster: I'm waiting. I warn you, I'm not a patient woman, so out you come!
- [nothing]
- Miss Foster: Right, we'll do it the hard way.
- [to her bodyguards]
- Miss Foster: Get her!
- 1st Foster Guard: [kicks open each stall's door. He does this four times. On the fifth door, he bursts down the door to reveal Penny Carter]
- Miss Foster: [lowers her glasses] There you are.
- [takes Penny into custody]
- Penny Carter: I've been through the records, Foster, and all of your results have been faked! There's something about those pills that you're not telling us!
- Miss Foster: Oh, I think I'll be conducting this interview, Penny.
- [Donna looks on as Miss Foster and her bodyguards take Penny away]
