[first lines]
[the TARDIS materializes on the Powell Estate, and the Doctor and Rose step out]
Rose Tyler : How long have I been gone?
The Doctor : Twelve hours.
[They both laugh]
Rose Tyler : Oooh! Right, I won't be long, I'm just gonna see my mum.
The Doctor : What're you going to tell her?
Rose Tyler : I don't know! I've been to the year 5 billion... and only been gone, what, 12 hours?
[the Doctor gives something between a laugh and a snort]
Rose Tyler : No, I'll just tell her I've spent the night at Shareen's. See you later!
[walks off, and then turns back]
Rose Tyler : Oh - don't you disappear.
[She runs inside]
Rose Tyler : [the Doctor catches a glimpse of a poster on a telephone pole. He looks closer, and notices that it is a Missing Persons notice - for Rose. It says that "Rose Tyler has been missing from her home on the Powell Estate since 6 March 2005. Rose is described as 5'4", slim build, with shoulder-length blonde hair." Upstairs, Rose enters her flat]
Rose Tyler : I'm back! It was Shareen. She was all upset again. Are you in?
[Jackie walks out of the kitchen with a cup of tea]
Rose Tyler : So, what's been going on? How've you been?
[Jackie looks like she's just seen a ghost]
Rose Tyler : What? What's that face for? It's not the first time I've stayed out all night.
[Outside, the Doctor gets the gist of the poster, that they have landed one year ahead of when they intended to land, and runs inside]
Jackie Tyler : It's you.
Rose Tyler : Of course it's me!
Jackie Tyler : [shaken, and teary] Oh, my God. It's you. Oh my God.
[She throws her arms around Rose, who is rather alarmed. Rose looks over her mother's shoulder and sees more variants of the Missing Persons notice that the Doctor has just seen, including, for instance, "It has been more than six months since Rose Tyler went missing from her home."]
The Doctor : [suddenly bursts into the apartment] It's not 12 hours, it's er... 12 months. You've been gone a whole year.
[He laughs apologetically while Rose and Jackie both look at him, stunned]
The Doctor : Sorry.
-
Jackie Tyler : [lashing out at Rose] The hours I've sat here, days and weeks and months, all on my own! I thought you were dead! And where were you *travelling*? What the hell does that mean, "travelling"? That's no sort of answer!
[to the Policeman]
Jackie Tyler : You ask her. She won't tell me. That's all she says: "travelling."
Rose Tyler : That's what I was doing.
Jackie Tyler : But your passport's still in the drawer! It's just one lie after another!
Rose Tyler : I meant to phone. I really did, I just... I forgot.
Jackie Tyler : What, for a year? You forgot for *a year*? And I am left sitting here. I just don't believe you! Why won't you tell me where you've been?
The Doctor : Actually, it's my fault. I sort of, uh, employed Rose as my companion.
Policeman : When you say "companion," is this a sexual relationship?
Rose Tyler , The Doctor : [they look at each other, and then they simultaneously say] No!
Jackie Tyler : [getting in the Doctor's face, rather threateningly] Then what is it? Because *you*, you waltz in here all charm and smiles, and the next thing I know she vanishes off the face of the earth! How old are you then? 40? 45? What, did you find her on the Internet? Did you go online and pretend you're *a doctor*?
The Doctor : I *am* a doctor!
Jackie Tyler : Prove it! Stitch this, mate!
[slaps him hard across the face. The Doctor groans loudly, and Rose merely rolls her eyes]
Jackie Tyler : Did you think about me at all?
Rose Tyler : I did! All the time! But...
Jackie Tyler : One phone call. Just to know that you were alive!
Rose Tyler : I'm sorry. I really am.
Jackie Tyler : Do you know what terrifies me, is that you still can't say. What happened to you, Rose? What could be so bad that you can't tell me, sweetheart? Where were you?
-
Jackie Tyler : [after the TARDIS materializes] How'd you do that, then?
-
Jackie Tyler : [on the phone] Yes. I've seen one. I really have... An alien... And she's with him. My daughter, she's with him. And she's not safe. Oh my God, she's not safe.
[information is typed into a computer]
Jackie Tyler : [pauses]
Jackie Tyler : I've seen an alien and I know his name. He's called The Doctor... It's a box. A blue box... She called it a TARDIS.
[At 10 Downing Street, Indra Ganesh receives an automated alert]
-
Jackie Tyler : Oh, guess who asked me out? Billy Crew?
-
Jackie Tyler : The hours I've sat here, days and weeks and months, all on my own! I thought you were dead! And where were you travelling? What the hell does that mean, "travelling"? That's no sort of answer!
[to the police inspector in the apartment]
Jackie Tyler : You ask her. She won't tell me. That's all she says: "traveling".
Rose Tyler : That's what I was doing.
Jackie Tyler : But your passport's still in the drawer! It's just one lie after another!
Rose Tyler : I meant to phone. I really did, I just... I forgot.
Jackie Tyler : What, for a *year*? You forgot for a year? And I am left sitting here? I just don't believe you! Why won't you tell me where you've *been*?
The Doctor : Actually, it's my fault. I sort of, uh, employed Rose as my companion.
Policeman : When you say companion, is this a sexual relationship?
The Doctor , Rose Tyler : [look at each other, and then say] No!
Jackie Tyler : [getting in the Doctor's face] Then what is it? Because *you*, you waltz in here all charm and smiles, and the next thing I know she vanishes off the face of the earth! How old are you then? 40? 45? What, did you find her on the Internet? Did you go online and pretend you're a doctor?
The Doctor : I am a doctor!
Jackie Tyler : Prove it! Stitch this, mate!
[slaps him very hard across the face]
Jackie Tyler : [Later, as Jackie embraces Rose]
Jackie Tyler : Did you think about me at all?
Rose Tyler : I did! All the time! But...
Jackie Tyler : One phone call. Just to know that you were alive!
Rose Tyler : I'm sorry. I really am.
Jackie Tyler : Do you know what terrifies me, is that you still can't say. What happened to you, Rose? What could be so bad that you can't tell me, sweetheart? Where were you?
