The Sound of Drums

It's that sound, it's stuck in your head, what if I could help-

[The Master abruptly cuts him off]

Oh, how to shut him up? I know, memory lane! Professor Lazarus, remember him, with his, "Genetic Manipulation Device"? [Flashback appears] Did you think little Tish got that job merely by coinsidence? I've been laying traps for you all this time, and if I can concentrate all of that Lazarus Technology into one...little...Screwdriver. [The Doctor Stares, shocked.] But, oooh, if only I had The Doctor's biological code...W-wait a minute, I do! [Clicks] I've got his hand! And if Lazarus made himself younger, then what if we reverse it, another, what? Hundred years? [The Master violently points his laser screwdriver at the Doctor and starts aging him.]

Last of the Time Lords

(30 June 2007)

[The Master Shows up on the screen]

MY people's, salutations this, the eve of war, lovely woman. But I know there's all sorts of whispers down there, stories of a child walking the earth, giving you hope. But I ask you, how much hope has this man got? [He brings The Aged Doctor forwards] Say hello, Gandalf. Except, he's not that old. He's an alien, with a much greater lifespan than you, stunted little apes! What if I suspend your capacity, to Regenerate, all 900 years of your life, Doctor, if we can see them. [He starts aging The Doctor again, With everyone looking, Captain Jack eyeing the screen in terror.]

I travelled across the world. From the ruins of New York, to the fusion mills of China, right across the radiation pits of Europe. And everywhere I went I saw people just like you, living as slaves! But if Martha Jones became a legend then that's wrong, because my name isn't important. There's someone else. The man who sent me out there, the man who told me to walk the Earth. And his name is the Doctor. He has saved your lives so many times and you never even knew he was there. He never stops. He never stays. He never asks to be thanked. But I've seen him, I know him... I love him... And I know what he can do.

You wouldn't listen. Because you know what I'm going to say...

[The Master huddles in a corner, hiding his face. The Doctor descends to the ground and puts his arms around the Master soothingly...]

I forgive you.

[The Master has just been shot by his wife]

Dying in your arms. Happy now?

You're not dying, don't be stupid. It's only a bullet. Just regenerate.

No.

One little bullet, come on.

I guess you don't know me so well. I refuse.

Regenerate. Just regenerate. Please. Please! Just regenerate! Come on!

And spend the rest of my life imprisoned with you?!

[breaking down] But you've got to. Come on. It can't end like this. You and me, all the things we've done. [beginning to cry] Axons, remember the Axons? And the Daleks? We're the only two left. I have no one else. REGENERATE!

[weakly] How about that? I win! Will it stop, Doctor? The drumming. Will it stop?

[The Master dies. The Doctor screams in anguish.]

[worried] But I keep wondering...what about aging? 'Cause, I can't die, but I keep getting older...The odd little grey hair, you know? What happens if I live for a million years?

[amused] I really don't know.

[laughs] Okay, vanity, sorry. Yeah, can't help it. Used to be a poster boy when I was a kid, living on the Boeshane Peninsula. Tiny little place. I was the first one ever to be signed up for the Time Agency. They were so proud of me...The Face of Boe, they called me. [The Doctor and Martha look at him in shock]

Time Crash

[Offering his sonic screwdriver.] Need this?

No, I'm fine.

Oh, no, of course. You liked to go hands free, didn't you? Like, "Hey, I'm the Doctor. I can save the universe using a kettle and some string. And look at me, I'm wearing a vegetable!"

You know, I loved being you. Back when I first started, at the very beginning, I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important — like you do, when you're young. And then, I was you. And it was all dashing about and playing cricket and my voice going all squeaky when I shouted. I still do that, the voice thing, I got that from you. Oh, and the trainers. And... [puts his glasses on] snap! 'Cos you know what, Doctor? You were my Doctor.

[Five beams and tips his hat to his future self.]

To days to come.

All my love to long ago. [bows]

Voyage of the Damned

CMr. Copper

I shall be taking you to Old London town in the country of UK, ruled over by Good King Wenceslas. Now, human beings worship the great god Santa, a creature with fearsome claws and his wife Mary. And every Christmas Eve, the people of UK go to war with the country of Turkey. They then eat the Turkey people for Christmas dinner, like savages.

[Knowing full well that that is not the truth, the Doctor raises his hand.]

'Scuse me? [Mr. Copper looks at him.] Sorry, sorry, but, um... where did you get all this from?

CMr. Copper

Well, I have a First Class Degree in Earthonomics.

[The Doctor is cornered by four Angel Hosts in the kitchen.]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Security protocol one! Do you hear me? One! One-ah! [The Hosts pause their attack.] OK. That gives me three questions. Three questions to save my life, am I right?

HHost

Information: Correct.

No, that wasn't one of them! I didn't mean it! That's not fair! Can I start again?

HHost

Information: No.

No! No, no, no, no! That wasn't a question either! Blimey... One question left. One question. All right. So. You've been given orders to kill the survivors but survivors; therefore, must be passengers or staff. But not me. I'm not a passenger, I'm not staff. Go ahead, scan me. [The Hosts do so.] You must have bio-records. No such person on board. I don't exist. Therefore, you can't kill me. Therefore, I'm a stowaway; and stowaways should be arrested and taken to the nearest figure of authority. And I reckon... the nearest figure of authority... is on deck 31. Final question - am I right?

HHost

Information: Correct.

Brilliant. Take me to your leader. [excitedly] I've always wanted to say that!

Oh, yes! No... yes! The business isn't failing, it's failed. Past tense.

MCMax Capricorn

My own board voted me out. Stabbed me in the back!

If you had a back. So, you scupper the ship, wipe out any survivors, just in case anyone's rumbled you, and the board find their shares halved in value. Oh, but that's not enough. No. Because if a Max Capricorn ship hits the Earth, it destroys an entire planet. Outrage back home! Scandal! The business is wiped out.

MCMax Capricorn

[with smug relish] And... the whole board thrown in jail for mass murder!

While you sit there, safe inside the impact chamber.

MCMax Capricorn

I have men waiting to retrieve me from the ruins, and enough off-world accounts to retire me to the beaches of Penhaxico Two, where the ladies, so I'm told, are very fond of... [glances downward for a moment] metal.

[incredulous and outraged] So that's the plan. A retirement plan. Two thousand people on this ship, six billion underneath us, all of them slaughtered, and why?! Because Max Capricorn is a loser!

MCMax Capricorn

I never lose!

You can't even sink the Titanic!

Astrid Peth, citizen of Sto. The woman who looked at the stars and dreamed of travelling. Now you can travel forever. You're not falling, Astrid... You're flying!

Partners in Crime

[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.]

Not now!

I need the car. Where is it?

[whispering] The car went missing!

Why are you whispering?

I'm in church.

What would you do in church?

I'm praying.

[scoffs] A bit late for that, I imagine.

[mouthing] Donna?

[also mouthing] Doctor!

Wha... Wha... What?

Oh! My! God!

How?

[pointing at herself] It's me!

I can see that!

Oh this is brilliant!

What the hell are you doing there?

You! I was looking for you!

What for?!

[miming in a surreal sense while the Doctor looks more and more confused] I was reading... on the internet. This place is weird. Crept along... Heard them talking. [She mimes peeking through the window] You! [Donna gestures and looks toward Miss Foster, who is staring at her]

[out loud] Are we interrupting you?

[mouthing] Run!

Seeding a level five planet is against galactic law.

Are you threatening me?

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.

I hardly think you can stop bullets.

[Her guards take aim at the Doctor and Donna]

No, hold on! Hold on! Hold on! One more thing, before, dying. Do you know what happens when you hold two identical sonic devices against each other?

Well then, let's find out! [He points the two devices against each other and activates them, resulting in a loud and irritating noise.]
