Florence stands tall, unnerved. She hears the Doctor and River calling out to her, both of them now behind the door.

"FLORENCE!"
"Are you all right? What's happening?"

She tries to turn the screen off but it switches back on.

"The Angel is here, it's in the room." She states calmly.

"Don't take your eyes off it. Keep looking. It can't move if you're looking."

Florence listens to the doctors words. She stares at the Angel in front of her.

"Don't blink, Florence. Don't even blink!"

Don't blink Florence. Don't even blink.
Don't
Blink.
The doctors words swirl around her mind.

"The screen. Can you turn it off?"

"I tried." Florence calls out.

"Try again"

Florence listens closely.

"But don't take your eyes off the Angel."

"I'm not." Florence calls back.

"Each time it moves, it'll move faster. Don't even blink."

(River is trying to cut through the door with her pistol torch, meanwhile Florence tries closing one eye at a time.)

"I'm not blinking. Have you ever tried not blinking?!" Florence asks.

(She feels for the remote control.)

"It just keeps switching back on, doctor." Florence announces.

"Yeah, it's the Angel."

"But it's just a recording." Florence refuses.

"No, anything that takes the image of an Angel is an Angel."

Florence then suddenly hears Amy's voice.

"What's happening. Are you ok?!"

"Fine! Just a minor technical issue." Florence calls back.

"They're gonna get you out!"

Florence feels tears begin to form in her eyes.

"So let's say I blink, yeah. What's it going to do to me?" Florence states.

"Just keep looking at it. Don't stop looking." River instructs her.

"Just tell me." Florence orders.

There's a pause.

"About to die and you're doing dramatic pauses?!" Florence's announces.

"Florence, not the eyes."
Florence hears panic in the Doctors voice as he calls out to her. She looks at the angels eyes.

"Look at the Angel but don't look at the eyes."

"Why?" Florence asks

Florence stares forward.

"Don't look at the eyes!"

"Wait. Images. What did you say about images?" Florence questions.

"Whatever holds the image of an Angel, is an Angel."

"Okay, hold this. One, two, three, four." Florence states.
