"Taxi!" Donna shouts as a Taxi driver drives by.
"Why's his light on?" asked Donna.
"There's another one!" the Doctor shouts.
"Taxi! Oi!"
Another drives past with its For Hire light on.
"There's one!" says the Doctor, looking for more.
"Oi!"
"Do you have this effect on everyone? Why aren't they stopping?"
"Maybe because she's in her wedding dress?" Quinn suggested.
"They think I'm in a fancy dress," Donna confirms.
"Stay off the sauce, darling!" says a driver.
"They think I'm drunk."
"You're fooling no one, mate!" says another.
"They think I'm in drag!" Donna complains.
"Hold on, hold on," says the Doctor.
The Doctor does a very piercing whistle and a taxi does a quick U turn to pick them up.
"Saint Mary's in Chiswick, just off Hayden Road. It's an emergency. I'm getting married. Just hurry up!" Donna says as the three are in the taxi. Quinn is sitting on the Doctor's lap, making him uncomfortable and blushing.
"You know it'll cost you, sweetheart? Double rates today," says the driver.
"Oh, my God. Have you got any money?" Donna asked the Doctor and Quinn.
"Er, no. Haven't you?" says the Doctor.
"Pockets!" Donna says.
The taxi driver dumps them back where he picked them up.
"And that goes double for your mother! I'll have him. I've got his number. I'll have him. Talk about the Christmas spirit," says Donna.
"Is it Christmas?" asks the Doctor.
"Notice the decorations?" Quinn asks the Doctor. He rolls his eyes.
"Well, duh. Maybe not on Mars, but here it's Christmas Eve. Phone box! We can reverse the charges!"
"How come you're getting married on Christmas Eve?"
"Can't bear it. I hate Christmas. Honeymoon, Morocco. Sunshine, lovely. What's the operator? I've not done this in years. What do you dial? 100?"
The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver and gets a dialing tone.
"Just call the direct," he says.
"What did you do?" She asks.
"Something Martian. Now phone. I'll get money!"
"Ha," says Quinn. "Martian. Again."
The Doctor rolls his eyes and joins the queue at a cash machine. Quinn joins him.
"Hurry up," says Donna.
The Doctor and Quinn return to the TARDIS. The Doctor starts the TARDIS going as the taxi pulls onto the flyover, missing another car by inches. The Doctor and Quinn are tracking Donna.
"Behave!" the Doctor shouts at the TARDIS.
"Don't yell at her!" Quinn shouts. "She's doing the best she can!"
"She's not working right!" the Doctor shouts back at Quinn.
The TARDIS weaves through the traffic as the Doctor ties a piece of string around a control lever. It comes alongside the taxi. The Doctor opens the doors holding the other end of the string in his teeth.
