"Please, let me go.", She begs.

lWhy would I do that?", Jenkins asks.

"Because you've got a scar on the back of your hand."

"Well, yes, but I don't see what that's got to do with anything."

"And you feel like you're going to be sick, like something's forcing its way up your throat. I know because I've seen it before.", She tells him.

"What's happening to me?", Jenkins asks with a scared look on his face.

"In a minute, you won't be you anymore. You won't even remember you. And unless you let me go, it's going to happen to me too. Please."

"What're you talking about?"

"What's your mother's name?"

"Matilda."

"You got a wife?"

"Yes."

"Wife's name? You got kids? What's your name? Please, let me go. It's too late for you. I'm sorry, but please let me go.", Nancy starts apologizing as he starts repeating the words.

"What do you mmmmm. Mummy."

"There it is. Hey, they've got Algy on duty. It must be important.", Jack says.

"We've got to get past him.", The Doctor says.

"Are the words distract the guard heading in my general direction?", Rose asks.

"I don't think that'd be such a good idea."

"Don't worry I can handle it."

"I've got to know Algy quite well since I've been in town. Trust me, you're not his type. I'll distract him. Don't wait up.", Jack informs her.

"Relax, he's a fifty first century guy. He's just a bit more flexible when it comes to dancing.", The Doctor says to the girls.

"How flexible?", Juliet inquires.

"Well, by his time, you lot have spread out across half the galaxy."

"Meaning?"

"So many species, so little time."

"What, that's what we do when we get out there? That's our mission? We seek new life, and, and-", The Doctor cuts her off.

"Dance."

"Hey, tiger. How's it hanging?", Jack smirks at Algy.

"Mummy?"

"Algy, old sport, it's me."

"Mummy?", Algy repeats.

"It's me, Jack."

"Jack? Are you my mummy?"

Algy starts to retch, then falls to his knees before his face turns into a gas mask. Rose, Juliet and the Doctor run forward from the sidings.
