Sophie:
Of course I mean it. Do you mean it?

Craig:
I've always meant it. Seriously though, do you mean it?

Sophie:
Yes.

[Tardis]

Amy:
Ugh.

Craig [OC]:
What about the monkeys?

[Timeship]

The Doctor:
Oh, not now, not again. Craig, the planet's about to burn. For God's sake, kiss the girl.

[Tardis]

Amy:
Kiss the girl!

[Timeship]

(Craig and Sophie kiss, and his hand is released from the panel. The Tardis stops shaking.)

Amy [OC]:
Doctor?

[Tardis]

Amy:
You've done it. Ha, Ha!

[Timeship]

Amy[OC]:
You've done it. Oh, now the screen's just zeros. Now it's minus ones, minus twos, minus threes.

[Tardis]

Amy:
Big yes

[Timeship]

Autopilot:
Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me.

(It keeps switching between different forms and voices.)

The Doctor:
Big no.

Autopilot:
Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me.

(Craig and Sophie come up for air.)

Craig:
Did we switch it off?

The Doctor:
Emergency shutdown. It's imploding. Everybody out, out, out!

Autopilot:
Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me Help me. Help me. Help me.

[Aickman Road]

Autopilot [OC]:
Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me.

(The Doctor, Craig and Sophie run down the stairs and outside. The top floor and roof turns into the Timeship which then evaporates. A man walks by carrying a child.)

Craig:
Look at them. Didn't they see that? The whole top floor just vanished.

The Doctor:
Perception filter. There never was a top floor.

[Flat]

(Craig and Sophie are snogging on the sofa.)

Craig:
So have we spoiled our friendship, then?

Sophie:
Totally ruined it.

Craig:
And what about the monkeys? We could save them together, you know. Do whatever we want. I could see the point of Paris if you were there with me.

Sophie:
First, let's destroy our friendship completely.

(The Doctor enters from his room, and leaves the keys on a table.)

Craig:
Oi.

Sophie:
What, you're trying to sneak off?

The Doctor:
Yes, well, you were sort of busy.

Craig:
I want you to keep these.

(Gives him the keys.)

The Doctor:
Thank you. Because I might pop back soon, have another little stay.

Craig:
No, you won't. I've been in your head, remember. I still want you to keep them.

The Doctor:
Thank you, Craig.

Craig:
Thank you, Doctor.

The Doctor:
Sophie. Now then. Six billion four hundred thousand and twenty six people in the world. That's the number to beat.

(The Doctor leaves. Behind the trashcan next to the fridge there's a crack in the wall which opens and glows.)

[TARDIS]

The Doctor:
Back in time. You need to go to the paper shop and leave that note for me.

Amy:
Right little matchmaker, aren't you? Can't you find me a fellow?

The Doctor:
Oh, rectifier's playing up again Hold on. You write the note and I'll change that will.

Amy:
You got a pen?

The Doctor:
Make sure it's a red pen.

(Amy goes through the Doctor's jacket pockets and finds the ring box from Rory. She looks at it confused as the episode ends with the crack getting wider and glowing.)
