You all know what time it isβ¦ out of context No Place, otherwise known as when we actually got an entire audio of fake-marriage trope for Ten and Donna. Big Finish I love you π
Cameraman: βHow did you guys meet?β
Donna: βWell, it was love at first sight, wasnβt it?β
The Doctor: βWas it?β
The Doctor: βA house, yes! Doors, windows, roof, stairsβ¦ umβ¦ uhβ¦ sβ¦scatter cushions?β
Donna: βDid you justβ¦ boop me on the nose?β
The Doctor: βYeah! Boop!β
Donna: βAw, thatβs my boy! And Iβm just gonna boop you back, you skinny little thing! Boop!β
The Doctor: βDβaww, βboop!ββ laughs
The Doctor, seriously: βFunny thing, Gazarian lizard queens do that before they eat their husbands alive.β
Donna: βIβm gonna go check on Mum.β
The Doctor: βNuh-uh, not before you pay the love toll!β
Donna: ββ¦Seriously?β
Donna: ββ¦Oh, honey of course! Silly me!β
The Doctor: βSilly you!β
The Doctor: βHowβs it going? β¦Darling.β
Donna: βNot so badβ¦ Chipmunk.β
The Doctor: βPumpkin.β
Justin: βDo you believe in ghosts? The supernatural, aliens? Demons?β
The Doctor: βNoβWell, youβve met the mother in law.β
Sylvia: gritting her teeth βMilk and sugar, Doctor?β
The Doctor: βDonβt touch it!β
Also the Doctor: licks it
The Doctor: βDonna and Iβthe two of us, weβre a team. But weβve had a little bit of trouble recently so weβve come here and, well, some things have just got to be saved.β
Justin: βSo this renovation project is a way of saving your marriage?β
The Doctor: βYesβWait, what?β
The Doctor: βDonna and Iβabsolutely married. Very happily. Always, uh, popping off down the farmerβs market, picking up some organicβ¦ jβ¦ jaffa cakes?β
Wilf, to Justin: βYeah, itβd take more than a few bumps to scare the Doctor.β
The Doctor: clears throat
Wilf: βWhich!β Nervous laughter βIs the nickname I call my grandsonβ¦ Because heβs a doctorβ¦ and Iβm proud of him.β
The Doctor: βIβve beenββ
The Doctor: βWeβve been digging. Wellβmy position is more managerial.β
Donna: βMind if I come in?β
Justin: ββ¦You already sat on my bed.β
The Doctor: βWeβre all holding hands! Donna, Wilf, SylviaβSylvia!β
Sylvia: βOh, sorry!β Holds hand
And even after they donβt have to be fake married anymore:
The Doctor: βHello missus bumpsysquish!β
Donna: βHeyyy Spaceman!β :)
The Doctor: βI used fuel. Wellβrocket fuel.
WellβVenutian rocket fuel.β
Donna: βStop showing off pookie!β
The Doctor: βYes snugglepuff!β :D
Basically Donna and the Doctor went from βpet name (ironic)β to βpet name (affectionate)β during the course of this audio and I think thatβs beautiful
(Also this isnβt necessarily a good ooc quote but it fucking melted my heart and I need to put it here)
Donna: βDonβt change the subject, thatβs what he (the Doctor) does.β
Justin: βYour husband?β
Donna, sarcastically: βLove of my life.β
Donna: βActuallyβ¦ I guess he is, really.β
