The Doctor : Donna?
Donna Noble : Doc-tor!
The Doctor : Wh - what - w - what?
Donna Noble : Oh! My! *God*!
The Doctor : How?
Donna Noble : [pointing at her face with both hands] It's me!
The Doctor : [nodding, gesturing to eyes, then Donna] Yeah, I can see that.
Donna Noble : [pointing to where she's standing, then two thumbs up] Oh, this... is... *brilliant*!
The Doctor : [pointing thrice at Donna] W - wha - what the hell are *you* *doing* *there*?
Donna Noble : [pointing to eyes, then at The Doctor] I... was looking... for... you!
The Doctor : [points at self questioningly] What for?
Donna Noble : [miming reading the paper] Read it...
Donna Noble : [typing fingers in the air] ... on the Internet...
Donna Noble : [wiggling fingers around mouth] ... so weird...
Donna Noble : [walking fingers] ... crept along...
Donna Noble : [thumb into room, hand-as-mouth] ... heard them talking...
Donna Noble : [ducks down, comes back up, points] ... looked, ah! *You*!
The Doctor : [imperceptibly nods]
Donna Noble : [thumbs back at Miss Foster, looks, freezes] Th...
[Miss Foster has stopped talking and is staring at Donna. Miss Foster turns and looks right at The Doctor. The Doctor turns to see Miss Foster]
Miss Foster : [aloud] Are we interrupting you?

The Doctor : The last time, with Martha, it got complicated. And that was all my fault. I just want a mate.
Donna Noble : You just want to mate?
The Doctor : I just want *a* mate!
Donna Noble : You're not matin' with me Sunshine!
The Doctor : A mate! I want *a* mate!
Donna Noble : Well, just as well, because I'm not having any of that nonsense! I mean, you're just a long streak of nothing, y'know, alien nothing!
-
Donna Noble : [watching the Adipose getting beamed on to the nursery ship] What are you going to do then? Blow them up?
The Doctor : They're just children; they can't help where they came from.
Donna Noble : Oh, well that makes a change from last time. That Martha must've done you good.
The Doctor : She did, yeah. She did...
[sniffs]
The Doctor : She fancied me.
Donna Noble : Mad Martha, that one. Blind Martha. Charity Martha.

Donna Noble : [enters ADIPOSE Industries through the front doors] Donna Noble, Health and Safety.
The Doctor : [enters the building by using his sonic screwdriver to disable the alarms on the emergency exit] John Smith, Health and Safety.

Miss Foster : Well, at last.
Donna Noble : Hello.
The Doctor : Nice to meet you! I'm the Doctor.
Donna Noble : And I'm Donna.
Miss Foster : Partners in crime. And evidently of other world origin, judging by your sonic technology.
The Doctor : [feels through his pockets and finds Miss Foster's sonic pen] Oh, yes! I've still got your sonic pen! Nice! I like it, sleek. It's definitely sleek.
Donna Noble : Oh, it's definitely sleek.
The Doctor : Yes, and if you were to sign your real name. That would be...
Miss Foster : Matron Cofelia, of the Five-Straighten, Classabindi Nursery Fleet, Intergalactic Class.
The Doctor : And that is using humans as surrogates.
Miss Foster : I've been employed by the Adiposian First Family to foster a new generation after their breeding planet was lost.
The Doctor : What do you mean, "lost"? How do you lose a planet?
Miss Foster : Oh politics are none of my concern. I'm just here to take care of the children on behalf of the parents.
Donna Noble : Like an outer space supernanny?
Miss Foster : Yes, if you like!
Donna Noble : So, so those little things, they're made out of fat. But that woman, Stacey Campbell, there was nothing left of her.
Miss Foster : Well, in a crisis, the Adipose can convert bone and hair and internal organs. Makes them a little bit sick, the poor things.
Donna Noble : What about poor Stacey?
The Doctor : Seeding a Level 5 planet is against galactic laws.
Miss Foster : [turns to the Doctor] Are you threatening me?
The Doctor : 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.
Miss Foster : Then how do you think you can stop all of this?
[her bodyguards point their machine guns at the Doctor and Donna]
The Doctor : Hold on! Hold on! One more thing, before dying! Do you know what happens when you hold two identical sonic devices against each other?
[He takes out his own sonic screwdriver]
Miss Foster : No.
The Doctor : Nor me! Let's find out!
[he jams the two sonic screwdrivers together and activates both, emitting a loud, deafening pulsing sound that also shakes the room such so that it shatters a window]

[meeting on the stairs; both hug each other]
Donna Noble : [high-pitched voice] Oh my God! I don't believe it!
[looks him over]
Donna Noble : Oh, you got the same suit!
[as her voice returns to normal]
Donna Noble : Don't you ever change?
The Doctor : Yeah, thanks Donna; not right now.
[look beneath them to see Miss foster & her gunmen running up the stairway]
The Doctor : [to Donna] Just like old times.
[both take off up the stairs]

The Doctor : Tell me, Roger, have you got a cat flap?
[next scene, on floor looking through cat flap]
Roger Davey : It was here when I bought the house. I never bothered with it, really. I'm not a cat person.
The Doctor : No, I've met cat people. You're nothing like them.
Roger Davey : Is that what it is, though: cats getting inside the house?
The Doctor : Well, thing about cat flaps is, they don't just let things in; they let things out as well.
Roger Davey : Like what?
The Doctor : "The fat just walks away."

Donna Noble : [knocks at Stacey Campbell's door] Stacey Campbell? My name's Donna.
[She holds up her ID card to prove it]
Donna Noble : I represent ADIPOSE Industries, and you're on the list of our valued customers.
The Doctor : [knocks at Roger Davey's door] Mr. Roger Davey, I'm calling on behalf of ADIPOSE Industries.
[holds up his psychic paper]
The Doctor : I just need to ask you a few questions.
-
Donna Noble : [after the Doctor pulls her in] I was right, it's always like for you!
The Doctor : Oh yes! And off we go!
[both smiling, run out of the room]
Penny Carter : [struggling in the chair] Oi!
The Doctor : [poking his head in the doorway] Sorry.
[uses his screwdriver to break her ropes; disappears from sight as she tries to get them off]
The Doctor : [pokes his head in again] Oh, and do yourself a favor; get out.
-
The Doctor : So far they're just losing weight, but the Matron's gone up to emergency parthenogenesis.
Donna Noble : And that's when they convert...
The Doctor : Skeletons, organs, everything. A million people are gonna die!

Roger Davey : You wake up, and it's disappeared overnight. Well, technically speaking, it's gone by ten past 1:00 in the morning.
The Doctor : What makes you say that?
Roger Davey : That's when I get woken up.
[later]
Roger Davey : It is driving me mad. Ten minutes past 1:00 every night, bang on the dot, without fail, the burglar alarm goes off. I've had experts in. I've had it replaced, I've even phoned watchdogs. But no, at ten past 1:00 in the morning, off it goes.
