Tardis]

DOCTOR: All absolutely identical. Not a single molecule's difference between them. No blemishes, imperfections, individualities.
BRIAN: What if they're bombs? Billions of tiny bombs? Or transport capsules maybe, with a mini robot inside. Or deadly hard drives. Or alien eggs? Or messages needing decoding. Or they're all parts of a bigger whole. Jigsaw puzzles that need fitting together.
DOCTOR: Very thorough, Brian. Very, very thorough. Well done. Stay here. Watch these. Yell if anything happens.
AMY: Doctor, is this an alien invasion? Because that's what it feels like.
RORY: There couldn't be life-forms in every cube, could there?
DOCTOR: I don't know. And I really don't like not knowing.
Wait I never seen this jack said looking confused maybe you were asleep I said making me snort ok how does one sleep their way though a potential alien attack quite easily it happened to me once I woke up in someone's liver I said making every stare at me weirdly it's not my fault I said quickly anyway

Kitchen]

(The Tardis is parked in the lounge.)
DOCTOR: Right, I need to use your kitchen as a lab. Cook up some cubes. See what happens.
RORY: Right, I'm due at work.
DOCTOR: What? You've got a job?
RORY: Of course I've got a job. What do you think we do when we're not with you?
DOCTOR: I imagined mostly kissing.
AMY: I write travel articles for magazines and Rory heals the sick.
RORY: My shift starts in an hour. You don't know where my scrubs are?
AMY: In the lounge, where you left them.
Why on Earth do you think couples mostly kiss Ryan said staring at me weirdly well I said stuttering forget it I said going red making everyone giggle.

[Alleyway]

(A suburban one, not a city one. Military types pile out of 4x4s.)
MAN [OC]: Approaching site. Quite strong likeness detected. Target unconfirmed. May be hostile.
SOLDIER: Approaching source now. Area will be secure in sixty seconds. Ultimate force available.
(And run up to a certain front door.)
What have you done Donna said glaring at me why was it me why did you assume me I said pouting because your an idiot Martha said smirking it was not my fault I said crossing my arms childishly

Kitchen]

DOCTOR: All the Ponds, with their house and their jobs and their everyday lives. The journalist and the nurse. Long way from Leadworth.
(The Doctor is sonicking a gizmo together.)
AMY: We think it's been ten years. Not for you or Earth, but for us. Ten years older. Ten years of you, on and off.
DOCTOR: Look at you now. All grown up.
I felt Amy hug me closer to her we wouldn't of missed it for the world she said smiling me neither pond I said smiling back
(The front door is smashed down.)
MAN: Clear! Trap one, kitchen secured.
MAN 2: Trap three, back garden secured.
(The rest of the squad are outside the patio doors. Rory is marched in at gunpoint.)
RORY: There are soldiers all over my house, and I'm in my pants.
AMY: My whole life I've dreamed of saying that, and I miss it by being someone else
How rude of them rose said looking worried whilst jack and river were crying with laughter what I said facing them worriedly it's just Rory looks so done jack said snorting oh dad river said laughing loudly.

Pse.)
KATE: All these muscles, and they still don't know how to knock. Sorry about the raucous entrance. Spike in Artron energy reading at this address. In the light of the last twenty four hours, we had to check it out, and the dogs do love a run out. Hello. Kate Stewart, head of scientific research at UNIT. And with dress sense like that.
(She holds out a scanner, which shows two hearts beating in his chest.)
KATE: You must be the Doctor. I hoped it would be you.
DOCTOR: Tell me, since when did science run the military, Kate?
KATE: Since me. UNIT's been adapting. Well, I dragged them along, kicking and screaming, which made it sound like more fun than it actually was.
DOCTOR: What do we know about these cubes?
KATE: Far less than we need to. We've been freighting them in from around the world for testing. So far, we've subjected them to temperatures of plus and minus two hundred Celsius, simulated a water depth of five miles, dropped one out of a helicopter at ten thousand feet and rolled our best tank over it. Always intact.
DOCTOR: That's impressive. I don't want them to be impressive. I want them vulnerable with a nice Achilles heel.
KATE: We don't know how they got here, what they're made of, or why they're here.
DOCTOR: And all around the world, people are picking them up and taking them home.
KATE: Like iPads have dropped out of the sky. Taking them to work, taking pictures, making films, posting them on Flickr and YouTube. Within three hours, the cubes had a thousand separate Twitter accounts.
DOCTOR: Twitter?
KATE: I've recommended we treat this as a hostile incursion. Gather them all up and lock them in a secure facility. But that would take massive international agreement and co-operation.
DOCTOR: We need evidence. The cubes arrived in plain sight, in vast quantities, as the sun rose. So, what does that tell us?
AMY: Maybe they wanted to be seen. Noticed.
DOCTOR: Or more than that, they want to be observed. So we observe them. Stay with them round the clock. Watch the cubes, day and night. Record absolutely everything about them. Team cube, in it together.
Why do I get the feeling the doctors going to make it worse Clara said smiling oh he was so bored Amy said grinning
