[Flat]
CRAIG:
No, Dom's in Malta. There's nobody around. Hang on a sec. We've got a match today, pub league. We're one down if you fancy it?DOCTOR:
Pub league. A drinking competition?CRAIG:
No, football. Play football.DOCTOR:
Football. Football. Yes, blokes play football. I'm good at football, I think.CRAIG:
You've saved my life. I've got somebody. Yeah, all right, I'll see you down there. Hey, Soph.SOPHIE:
Hey, I thought I'd come early and meet your new flat mate.DOCTOR:
Do you play, Sophie?CRAIG:
No, Soph just stands on the sidelines. She's my mascot.SOPHIE:
I'm your mascot? Mascot?CRAIG; Well, yeah, not my mascot. It's a football match. I can't take a date.
SOPHIE:
I didn't say I was your date.CRAIG:
Neither did I.DOCTOR:
Better get dressed.CRAIG:
The spare kit's just in the bottom drawer.DOCTOR:
Bit of a mess.(The Doctor goes into his room and shuts the door.)
CRAIG:
What do you think?SOPHIE:
You didn't say he was gorgeous.(The Doctor puts his head out of his room.)
CRAIG:
You unlocked the door. How did you do that? Those are your keys. You must have left them last time you came here.SOPHIE:
Yeah, but I. How do you know these are my keys?CRAIG:
I've been holding them.SOPHIE:
I have got another set.DOCTOR:
You've got two sets of keys to someone else's house?SOPHIE:
Yeah?DOCTOR:
I see. You must like it here too.[Doctor's room]
(Putting on the number 11 shirt back to front.)
DOCTOR:
So, I'm going out. If I hang about the house all the time, him upstairs might get suspicious and notice me.[Tardis]
AMY:
Football. Okay, well done. That is normal.DOCTOR [OC]:
Yeah, football. All outdoorsy.[Doctor's room]
DOCTOR:
Now, football's the one with the sticks, isn't it?[Park]
CRAIG:
What are you actually called? What's your proper name?DOCTOR:
Just call me the Doctor.SOPHIE:
Yeah.CRAIG:
I can't go up to these guys and say hey, this is my new flat mate, he's called the Doctor.DOCTOR:
Why not?CRAIG:
Because it's weird.(They get to the pitch.)
SEAN:
All right, Craig. Soph. All right, mate.DOCTOR:
Hello, I'm Craig's new flat mate. I'm called the Doctor.(Air kisses not well received.)
SEAN:
All right, Doctor. I'm Sean. So, where are you strongest?DOCTOR:
Arms.CRAIG:
No, he means what position on the field.DOCTOR:
Not sure. The front? The side? Below.SEAN:
Are you any good though?DOCTOR:
Let's find out.(The game is underway.)
WOMAN:
Yeah, we're going to win.(The Doctor is very nimble, dodging other players whilst dribbling the ball.)
SOPHIE:
That's not bad. Yes! Go!CRAIG:
One two. One two.(But he doesn't pass to Craig.)
SOPHIE:
Go on, Doctor! Go on, Doctor!(Goal!)
SOPHIE:
Doctor! Doctor! You're brilliant. You're amazing.PLAYER:
Come on, Craig. Catch up, mate.SOPHIE:
Come on, Craig. Show them what you've got.(Craig is about to take the kick when the Doctor steals it from him and scores again to general rejoicing.)
DOCTOR:
Oh yes, I love this game.SPECTATORS:
Doctor! Doctor! Doctor! Doctor!(More goals and Craig gets more annoyed.)
[Aickman Road]
(A woman is passing by when she hears a girl's voice coming from the intercom.)
GIRL [OC]:
Please can you help me? Can you help me, please? Can you help me?SANDRA:
Hello?(The door unlocks and she goes inside.)
[House]
(A little girl is standing at the top of the stairs, holding a doll.)
GIRL:
I've lost my mum and I don't know where she is. Please can you help me?SANDRA:
Help you? You poor thing. What's happened?GIRL:
Can you help me find her?(Sandra goes up the stairs.)
[Park]
SEAN:
You are so on the team. Next week we've got the Crown and Anchor. We're going to annihilate them.DOCTOR:
Annihilate? No. No violence, do you understand me? Not while I'm around. Not today, not ever. I'm the Doctor, the Oncoming Storm, and you basically meant beat them in a football match, didn't you?SEAN:
Yeah.DOCTOR:
Lovely. What sort of time?(Craig opens a can of drink and gets sprayed with the foam. Then it repeats again and again. Only the Doctor is unaffected. He runs.)
DOCTOR:
Amy?[Tardis]
DOCTOR [OC]:
Amy?AMY:
It's happening again. Worse.[Park]
DOCTOR:
What does the scanner say?[Tardis]
AMY:
A lot of nines. Is it good that they're nines? Tell me it's good that they're all nines.[Park]
DOCTOR:
Yes, yes, it's, it's good. Zigzag plotter. Zigzag plotter, Amy.(She fiddles with the lever. There is a bang and Amy is thrown to the floor. She screams.)
[Park]
DOCTOR:
Amy? Are you there?[Tardis]
DOCTOR [OC]:
Amy?AMY:
Yes. Hello.[Park]
DOCTOR:
Oh, thank heavens. I thought for a moment the Tardis had been flung off into the vortex[Tardis]
DOCTOR [OC]:
With you inside it, lost forever.AMY:
What, you mean that could actually happen?[Park]
AMY [OC]:
You have got to get me out of here.DOCTOR:
How are the numbers?[Tardis]
AMY:
All fives.[Park]
(The time loop has stopped.)
DOCTOR:
Fives? Even better.[Tardis]
DOCTOR [OC]:
Still, it means the effect's almost unbelievably powerful and dangerous, but don't worry.[Park]
DOCTOR:
Hang on, okay?[Tardis]
AMY:
Hey.DOCTOR [OC]:
I've got some rewiring to do.AMY:
Hang on.[Flat]
(Craig knocks on the Doctor's door. He answers holding a traffic cone.)
DOCTOR:
Hello, flat mate.CRAIG:
Hey, man. Er, listen. Er, Sophie's coming round tonight and I was wondering if you could give us some space?DOCTOR:
Oh, don't mind me. You won't even know I'm here.(Bang upstairs.)
DOCTOR:
That's the idea.(He shuts the door.)
DOCTOR [OC]:
Yes, perfect! What a beauty.(Meanwhile, in the kitchen diner with the stain on the ceiling.)
SOPHIE:
That's got bigger.CRAIG:
Oh, yeah.SOPHIE:
Are we going out?CRAIG:
I've had a bit of a weird day. Can we do pizza booze telly?SOPHIE:
Great, love it. Wait. No Melina, no crises, no interruptions.(Sophie turns off her mobile phone.)
CRAIG:
Great. Excellent. Er, Soph. I've, I think.SOPHIE:
Where's this going?CRAIG:
I think that we shouldSOPHIE:
Mmm?(The Doctor pops up behind the sofa.)
DOCTOR:
Hello.CRAIG:
What?DOCTOR:
Whoops. Sorry. Don't worry, I wasn't listening. In a world of my own down there.CRAIG:
I thought you were going out?DOCTOR:
Just re-connecting all the electrics. It's a real mess. Where's the on switch for this?(A normal screwdriver.)
CRAIG:
He really is just on his way out.SOPHIE:
No, I don't mind. I mean, if you don't mind.CRAIG:
I don't mind. Why would I mind?SOPHIE:
Then stay. Have a drink with us.DOCTOR:
What? Do I have to stay now?CRAIG:
Do you want to stay?DOCTOR:
I don't mind.SOPHIE:
Okay.CRAIG:
Great.(A little later, the Doctor is still working on the wiring loom around his neck.)
SOPHIE:
Because life can seem pointless, you know, Doctor. Work, weekend, work, weekend. And there's six billion people on the planet doing pretty much the same.DOCTOR:
Six billion people. Watching you two at work, I'm starting to wonder where they all come from.SOPHIE:
Huh? What do you mean by that?DOCTOR:
So then, the call centre. That's no good, then. What do you really want to do?SOPHIE:
Don't laugh. I only ever told Craig about it. I want to work looking after animals. Maybe abroad? I saw this orangutan sanctuary on telly.DOCTOR:
What's stopping you?CRAIG:
She can't. You need loads of qualifications.SOPHIE:
Yeah, true. Plus it's scary. Everyone I know lives round here. Like, Craig got offered a job in London. Better money. He didn't take it.CRAIG:
What's wrong with staying here? I can't see the point of London.DOCTOR:
Well, perhaps that's you, then. Perhaps you'll just have to stay here, secure and a little bit miserable, till the day you drop. Better than trying and failing, eh?SOPHIE:
You think I'd fail?DOCTOR:
Everybody's got dreams, Sophie. Very few are going to achieve them, so why pretend?(The Doctor tries the wine and lets it pour back into the glass from his mouth.)
DOCTOR:
Perhaps, in the whole wide universe, a call centre about is where you should be.SOPHIE:
Why are you saying that? That's horrible.DOCTOR:
Is it true?SOPHIE:
Of course it's not true. I'm not staying in a call centre all my life. I can do anything I want.(The Doctor smiles.)
SOPHIE:
Oh, yeah. Right. Oh, my God. Did you see what he just did?CRAIG:
No, sorry, what's happening? Are you going to live with monkeys now?DOCTOR:
It's a big old world, Sophie. Work out what's really keeping you here, eh?SOPHIE:
I don't know. I don't know.
