Hey. We did it.
But how many died down there?
That's not your fault!
You can't save everyone.
Why not?
Come here. I've got you, yeah? It's okay. I'm here.

Hey. We did it.
But how many died down there?
That's not your fault!
You can't save everyone.
Why not?
Come here. I've got you, yeah? It's okay. I'm here.
Okay. Name: "The Doctor". Occupation: "Not a doctor". Current status: "Just passing by". Employer: "Myself". Address: "That blue box over there". Now, if you don't mind, I just got snowmanned, and I would like to go home.
Um... Uh, Doctor what would that be?
Just the Doctor!
No, but who are you? Why are you an expert in time-traveling goblins and--
Oh! Pssh... They are not time-travelers, excuse me! Time travelers are great. Like, the best -- like, wow. This lot's just bimble.
Busy man, sweetheart! You and your box of tricks... You look like you've lost a pound and found a sixpence. What's wrong?
Just wondering... Maybe I'm the bad luck.
Who are you?
I'm the Doctor, you don't have to stand over there, come and have a look, it's called the TARDIS.
(The Doctor clicks his figures and the round things light up)
Ooh! nice, but hold on, I can't call you doctor, no I want to know your name.
Yeah that's uh, that's tricky, because I was adopted and the planet that took me in, they were kind of... they were kinda posh, they'd use titles like the Doctor, or the Bishop, or The Rani or the Conquistador, say doctor for a thousand years and it becomes my name
How do you keep going?
For days like this, Ruby Sunday. I don't have a people, I don't have a home... But I don't have a job, either. I don't have a boss, or taxes, or rent, or bills to pay. I don't have a purpose, or a cause, or a mission, but I have... freedom. That's why I keep moving on, to see the next thing, and the next, and the next. And sometimes... It looks even better through your eyes.
Is that a monster?!
No. No, don't be silly -- There's never any such thing as monsters, they're just... Just creatures you haven't met yet.
We're not meant to be like this; did we grow up wrong?
Oh, Poppy... Oh, Popsicle. Look at me, look at me. Nobody grows up wrong. You are what you are, and that is magnificent.
But Mummy and Daddy left us...
That's okay! Mine did, too.
What happened?
Well, I was found.
Hooray!
Little baby me was left alone in the middle of outer space, and guess who took me in?
I don't know!
The Time Lords!
Oooooh...
Can you say it like me?
"Time Lords"!
That's in! Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah! But the point is... that it doesn't matter where I come from, because I am absolutely lovely, aren't I? [Poppy yawns] That wasn't rhetorical, Pops.
Yes, you are!
And you wanna know my secret? There's no one like me in the whole wide universe. No one like me exists, and that's true of everyone. That's not a problem, Captain Pops. It's a superpower.
In the past, right now, I live in a place called Totter's Lane. 1963, I parked the TARDIS in a junkyard, and I lived there with my granddaughter, Susan.
Oh...!
Okay?
Your what?
My granddaughter.
Susan?
We could go and have a look, but y'know... timelines, [mimics explosion]
Well, y-- you've got children?
I did have -- I will have. Time Lords get a bit complicated.
Yeah, but you've got a granddaughter! Like, now? Like, today? Back in our time? My time. Gah! Where is she?!
I don't know.
How do you not know?
Time Lords were murdered. Genocide rolled across time and space like a great big cellular explosion; maybe it killed her, too.
Doctor! God...
Can you find it? The lost chord? Are you enough of a genius?
Oh, I would never call myself that, Maestro. But I have lived. And I have loved. And I can only smile like this because I have lost so much. I've experienced everything. Every single thing. And if that's where music comes from... I can find the chord to banish you.
Where are we?
In the middle of a war.
Oh. I was kind of hoping for a beach.
Ah! What do you think this is?
It's not a beach!
Give it time. Everywhere's a beach eventually.
I'm a much bigger bang than you bargained for. I'm a lot more explosive than I look, and, honey, I know how I look. Put a quantum chain reaction through me, and I will shatter this silly little battlefield of yours into dust. All of it, in a heartbeat, into dust.
That's not possible.
Everything is possible! Everything is possible. Everywhere is a beach eventually. Scan me! Scan me, see for yourself!
[Mundy drops her gun, scans:]
You could blow up half of this planet!
I mean, most armies would notice that they were fighting smoke and shadows, but not this lot, Ruby! You know why? 'Cause they have faith.
Shut up!
"Faith"! The magic word that keeps you never having to think for yourself! Just surrender, Mundy. Just stop... and it's all over.
Prove it.
What, seriously? Now you need proof, faith girl?
We're all dead eventually. There's hardly any time that we're not dead. Which is a a good thing, too! We've got to keep the pace up, otherwise nothing would get done. Dying defines us. Snow isn't snow until it falls.
Snow?
Yeah, snow. We all melt away in the end. But something stays. Maybe the best part. A sad old man once told me, "What survives of us, is love."
Mind you, Roger ap Gwilliam. That's a bad example of the Welsh, terrifying.
Oh, yeah?
The most dangerous Prime Minister in history. He led the world to the brink of nuclear... Wait, what year are you from?
2024!
Oh. Yikes, sorry, he was 2046. Sorry, spoilers! Forget I said anything.
