The Vampires of Venice

[Rory is at his stag party; music is playing; there is a paper cake in the middle of the pub. The men cheer for the "beautiful woman" to come out of the cake, however to their surprise the Doctor pops out instead. Rory shakes his head as he realizes who it is.]

Rory! [feedback whines; music stops] That's a relief! I thought I had burst out of the wrong cake. Again. That reminds me, there's a girl standing outside in a bikini. Can someone let her in, give her a jumper? Lucy. Lovely girl. [whispers] Diabetic. [everyone continues staring at him] Now then, Rory, we need to talk about your fiancee. [Rory smiles] She tried to kiss me. [Crowd draws breath; Rory is visibly shocked] Tell you what though, you're a lucky man; she's a great kisser! [Glass smashes; Doctor realizes what he just said, and looks visibly embarrassed and ashamed] Funny how you can say something in your head and it sounds fine.

[To Amy] Okay, we go in, say that you're my daughter—

Daughter! You look about nine!

Brother, then.

Amy No, too weird. Fiance.

It's a lot to take in, isn't it? Tiny box, huge room inside; what's that about? Let me explain...

It's another dimension.

It's basically another dimen-- [realizes] ...what?

After what happened with Prisoner Zero, I've been reading up on all the latest scientific theories. FTL travel, parallel universes...

I like the bit when someone says "It's bigger on the inside!" I always look forward to that. [The Doctor looks annoyed, then grins]

[The Doctor looks in a mirror]

Hello, handsome.

CGCalvierri Girls

Who are you?

[Looks at the mirror and then at the girls, realizing that they cast no reflection]

How are you doing that? I am loving it! You're like Houdini, only five slightly scary girls. And he was shorter... will be shorter. I'm rambling.

CGCalvierri Girls (all)

I'll ask you again, signore: who are you?

Why don't you check this out? [Shows them a card with a picture of the First Doctor; long pause as the girls look confused; he looks at the card and remembers that he has left the psychic paper with Rory] Library card, of course! It's with... he's... [gestures in front of his face to imitate Rory's long nose] ...I need a spare. Pale, creepy girls who don't like sunlight... and can't be seen... ah, am I thinking what I think I'm thinking? But the city, why shut down the city?

CGCalvierri Girls

Leave now, signore, or we shall call for the steward. [smile darkly] If you're lucky.

[camp] Ooh! [They bare long fangs and approach the Doctor; he goes to the stairs, then spins around toward them] Tell me the whole plan! [The girls hiss] One day that'll work. [He backs away] Listen, I would love to stay here. This whole thing... I'm thrilled! Oh, this is Christmas!

Hey, look at this. I got my spaceship, I got my boys... my work here is done. [struts into the TARDIS, head held high]

[scoffs] Uh, we are not her "boys."

Yeah, we are.

[pause] Yeah, we are.

[As the Doctor is about to enter the TARDIS, everything falls silent; there is no sound from anything. Looks back, and is stunned to see every living thing in the Venetian marketplace has mysteriously disappeared].

Rory, listen to that.

Er, what? All I can hear is... silence.

Exactly.

[The Doctor and Rory step back into the TARDIS, the Doctor visibly unnerved]

SRSignora Rosanna Calvierri

[voice-over] There were cracks. Through some we saw silence and the end of all things...

Amy's Choice

Oh, this is bad! I don't like this! [kicks console and yells in pain] NEVER use force, you'll just embarrass yourself. Unless you're cross, in which case... always use force!

Shall I run and get the manual?

I threw it in a supernova.

You threw the manual in a supernova? Why?

BECAUSE I DISAGREED WITH IT! Now stop talking to me when I'm cross!

DThe Dream Lord

It's make-your-mind-up time... in both worlds.

Bye. I need to find my friends.

DThe Dream Lord

Friends? Is that the right word for the people you acquire? Friends are people you stay in touch with. Your friends never see you again once they've grown up. The old man prefers the company of the young, does he not?

The Hungry Earth

Oh, look, a big mining thing. Oh, I love a big mining thing. See? Way better than Rio. Rio doesn't have a big mining thing.

(groans) We're not going to have a look, are we?

Let's go and have a look.

TTony

You're not making sense, man!

Excuse me, I'm making perfect sense. You're just not keeping up.

EElliot

Soon as I'm old enough, I'll be off.

I was the same where I grew up.

EElliot

Did you get away?

Yeah.

EElliot

Do you ever miss it?

So much.

EElliot

Is it monsters coming? Have you met monsters before?

Yeah.

EElliot

You scared of them?

No, they're scared of me.

[after he removes the Silurian's mask] You’re beautiful. A remnant of a bygone age on Planet Earth. And by the way, lovely mode of travel. Geothermal currents projecting you up through a network of tunnels. Gorgeous! Mind if I sit? Now! Your people have a friend. I want her back. Why did you come to the surface? What do you want? Oh I do hate a monologue, give us a bit back. How many are you?

AAlaya

I’m the last of my species.

Really? No! “Last of the species.” The Clempari defense. As an interrogation defense it’s a bit old hat I’m afraid.

AAlaya

I’m the last of my species.

No, you’re really not. Because I’m the last of my species and I know how it sits in a heart. So don’t insult me! Let’s start again. Tell me your name.

AAlaya

Alaya.

How long’s your tribe been sleeping under the Earth, Alaya? It’s not difficult to work out. You’re 300 million years out of your comfort zone. Question is, what woke you now.

AAlaya

We were attacked.

The drill.

AAlaya

Our sensors detected a threat to our life support systems. The warrior class was activated to prevent the assault, wipe the vermin from the surface and reclaim our planet.

Do we have to say “vermin”? They’re really very nice.

AAlaya

Primitive apes.

Extraordinary species; you attack them, they’ll fight back. But! There’s a peace to be brokered here. I can help you with that.

AAlaya

This land is ours. We lived here long before the apes.

Doesn’t give you automatic rights to it now, I’m afraid. Humans won’t give up the planet.

AAlaya

So we destroy them.

You underestimate them.

AAlaya

You underestimate us!

One tribe of homo reptilia against six billion humans—you’ve got your work cut out.

AAlaya

We did not initiate combat! But we can still win.

Tell me where my friend is. Give us back the people who were taken.

AAlaya

No.

I’m not going to let you provoke a war, Alaya. There’ll be no battle here today.

AAlaya

The fire of war is already lit. A massacre is due.

Not while I’m here.

AAlaya

I’ll gladly die for my cause! What will you sacrifice for yours?

Cold Blood

There are fixed points throughout time where things must stay exactly the way they are. This is not one of them. This is an opportunity! Whatever happens here will create its own timeline, its own reality, a temporal tipping point. The future revolves around you, here, now, so do good!

Bringing things to order, the first meeting of the representatives of the human race and homo reptilia is now in session. [laughs] Never said that before. That's fab.

[Urgently] Keep him in your mind. If you forget him, you'll lose him forever.

[Sobbing] Back at the Byzantium... I still remember the clerics, because I'm a time traveller now, you said —

No. They weren't part of your world. This is different, this is your own history changing!

Tell me it's going to be okay! You have to make it okay!

It's going be hard, but you can do it, Amy! Tell me about Rory, eh? Fantastic Rory! Funny Rory! Gorgeous Rory! Amy, listen to me. Do exactly as I say. Amy, please keep concentrating. You can do this!

I can't!

You can! You can do it. I can't help you unless you do it, Come on, you can still save his memory. Come on, Amy! [Flashbacks] Please, come on, Amy, come on. Amy, please. Don't let anything distract you! [Flashbacks] Remember Rory. Keep remembering. Rory's only alive in your memory. You must keep hold of him. Don't let anything distract you. Rory still lives in your mind.

[The TARDIS suddenly shudders, knocking them to the ground and breaking her concentration]

[Brightly] Sorry, what were you saying?
