Office]
(An advertisement is running on a big screen that takes up the entire wall opposite the desk. It features the Ood, those creatures with tentacles for mouths from Impossible Planet, who speak through a globe they hold in their hand.)
NARRATOR [OC]: The Ood. They came from distant world. They voyaged across the stars, all with one purpose.
OOD: Do you take milk and sugar?
NARRATOR [OC]: To serve.
BARTLE: That's good. That's excellent. I like it, sir. Buy one now. Direct. Straight to the point.
(He is speaking into his wrist-comm.)
Wait he's selling them rose said disgusted
HALPEN [OC]: We play that across the Tri-galactic for two weeks, then introduce this.
NARRATOR [OC]: Now only fifty credits.
BARTLE: Fifty? We're reducing the price to fifty credits?
HALPEN [OC]: Sales are down. We've got to reposition ourselves. So get going.
(Communication ends.)
BARTLE: Idiot. Bleeding us dry. You, there. Get me last month's military export figures. The army always need more grunts.
OOD: Yes, sir.
(A woman's voice comes over the intercom. She has a slight Indian accent.)
SOLANA [OC]: Mister Bartle, you asked me to call you?
BARTLE: Solana, when those buyers arrive we're going to pitch like never before. I want those Ood flying out of here.
(The Ood hands him a folder.)
BARTLE: That. I said military figures. That's the domestic files. Get me the military.
(The Ood slams the file on the desk. Its eyes are glowing red.)
OOD: The file is irrelevant, sir.
BARTLE: Oh? And why's that?
(The Ood zaps him with its globe.)
OOD: Have a nice day.
He deserved that Amy said
[Tardis]

(The Tardis is rocking back and forth in flight. The Doctor stops it.)
DOCTOR: Set the controls to random. Mystery tour. Outside that door could be any planet, anywhere, anywhen in the whole wide u. Are you all right?
DONNA: Terrified. I mean, history's one thing but an alien planet?
DOCTOR: I could always take you home.
DONNA: Yeah, don't laugh at me.
This is our first official trip to an alien planet Donna said smiling at me
DOCTOR: I know what it's like. Everything you're feeling right now. The fear, the joy, the wonder? I get that.
DONNA: Seriously? After all this time?
DOCTOR: Yeah. Why do you think I keep going?
DONNA: Oh. All right then, you and me both. This is barmy. I was born in Chiswick. I've only ever had package holidays. Now I'm here. This is so. I mean it's. I don't know, it's all sort of. I don't even know what the word is.
Alive I whispered to myself
[Planet surface]

(Donna goes outside.)
DONNA: Oh, I've got the word. Freezing.
I laughed loudly with Martha and jack making Donna sigh at me but smiling
DOCTOR: Snow! Oh, real snow. Proper snow at last. That's more like it. Lovely. What do you think?
DONNA: Bit cold.
DOCTOR: Look at that view.
(Massive icicles hang from bridges of rock over vast ravines.)
How are you so oblivious Clara said shaking her head excuse me I said offended Donna she's freezing and your going on about the bloody view rose said glaring at me
DONNA: Yep. Beautiful, cold view.
DOCTOR: Millions of planets, millions of galaxies, and we're on this one. Molto bene. Bellissimo, says Donna, born in Chiswick. All you've got is a life of work and sleep, and telly and rent and tax and takeaway dinners, all birthdays and Christmases and two weeks holiday a year, and then you end up here. Donna Noble, citizen of the Earth, standing on a different planet. How about that Donna?
(Donna has disappeared.)
I heard everyone giggling making me pout at them
DOCTOR: Donna?
(Donna comes out of the Tardis in a big fur coat with a hood.)
DONNA: Sorry, you were saying?
DOCTOR: Better?
DONNA: Lovely, thanks.
DOCTOR: Comfy?
DONNA: Yep.
DOCTOR: Can you hear anything inside that?
DONNA: Pardon?
You two are hilarious river said laughing harder
DOCTOR: All right, I was saying, citizen of the Earth
(A space rocket glides slowly above them.)
DONNA: Rocket. Blimey, a real proper rocket. Now that's what I call a spaceship. You've got a box, he's got a Ferrari. Come on, let's go see where he's going.
Aw you look so offended rose said laughing I was I muttered pouting
