“The Bells of Saint John”

In this episode: Eleventh Doctor (4), Clara Oswald (4)

[In 1207 AD, answering the TARDIS phone] Hello?

[In 2013 AD, on her telephone] Ah, hello! I can’t find the Internet.

I'm sorry?

It's gone, the Internet. Can't find it anywhere. Where is it?

The Internet?

Yes, the Internet. Why don't I have the Internet?

It's 1207.

I've got half past three. Am I phoning a different time zone?

Yeah, you really sort of are.

Will it show up on the bill?

Oh, I dread to think.

When you say mobile phone, why do you point at that blue box?

Because it's a surprisingly accurate description!

Okay. We're finished now.

I'm the Doctor. I'm an alien from outer space. I'm a thousand years old, I've got two hearts, and I can’t fly a plane! Can you?

No!

Ooh, fine! Let's do it together!

[Clara and the Doctor pull on the control stick together, saving the plane from crashing]

[out of breath] Would a victory roll be too showy-offy?

But a hundred and one places to see, and you haven’t been to any of them, have you? That's why you keep the book.

I keep the book 'cause I'm still going.

But you don't run out on the people you care about. Wish I was more like that. You know, the thing about a time machine, you can run away all you like and still back in time for tea, so what do you say? Anywhere. All of time and space right outside those doors.

Does this work?

Hey?

[laughs] This is actually what you do? Do you just crook your fingers and people just jump in your snog box and fly away?

It is not a snog box!

I'll be the judge of that.

Starting when?

Come back tomorrow. Ask me again.

Why?

'Cause tomorrow I might say yes. [starts for the doors] Some time after seven okay for you?

It's a time machine. Any time's okay.
