Act I, Scene 7
The lights come back up. Rose and her mom are having breakfast.
"I don't see why you're up so early sweetheart. You've got no job to go to!"
"Mom!"
"I'm just saying!" They fall quiet. Rose's mum picks up the newspaper. "There's Finches...you could try them, they always have jobs."
"Oh great, the butchers."
"Well it might do you good! That shop was giving you airs and graces. And I'm not joking about getting compensation - you've had genuine shock and trauma! Arianna got two thousand quid off the council just because the old man behind the desk said she looked Greek! I know she IS Greek, but that's not the point - it's a valid claim." There's a rattling from the front door. The Doctor has entered the stage and is doing something to the door.
"Mum, you're such a liar, I told you to nail that cat flap down. We're going to get strays!"
"I did it weeks back!"
"No, you thought about it!" Rose discovers that the screws have fallen out onto the floor. The cat flap moves violently. Rose leaps backwards, then comes back again and pokes the cat flap open gingerly. The Doctor's face is right outside it. Rose gasps and opens the door.
"What're you doing here?" The Doctor asks.
"I live here."
"Well, what do you do that for?"
"Because I do! And I'm only at home because someone blew up my job." The Doctor gets out his sonic screwdriver.
"Must've got the wrong signal. You're not plastic, are you?" He knocks on Rose's forehead.
"No, bonehead. Bye, then!" He makes to go, but Rose pulls him back inside. "You, inside. Right now." She shuts the door.
"Who is it?" Jackie calls from the bedroom. Rose sticks her head in. "It's about last night, he's part of the inquiry. Give us 10 minutes." She walks out and in front of the bedroom to the kitchen.
"She deserves compensation!"
"Huh, we're talking millions." The doctor says, standing just inside the room, waiting for Rose to come back. Jackie looks at him for a moment and stands up, flirtatiously. "I'm in my dressing gown."
"Yes, you are."
"There's a strange man in my bedroom."
"Yes, there is."
"Well, anything could happen."
"No," The Doctor walks off, taking the same path as Rose. Jackie pulls a face at his back.
The Doctor and Rose are in the living room.
"Don't mind the mess. Do you want a coffee?" Offers Rose.
"Might as well, thanks! Just milk." Rose goes into the kitchen and starts making coffee.
"We should go to the police. Seriously. Both of us." The Doctor picks up a gossip magazine.
"That won't last, he's gay and she's an alien."
"I'm not blaming you, even if it was some sort of joke that went wrong."
The Doctor picks up a book and flips through it.
"Sad ending."
"They said on the news they found a body."
The Doctor picks up an envelope and reads it.
"Rose Tyler. " He looks in mirror
"Ahh, could've been worse!" He prods his large ears.
"Look at me' ears."
"All the same, he was nice. Nice bloke."
The Doctor picks up a pack of cards and shuffles it. "Luck be a lady!"
"Well, anyway, if we are going to the police, I want to know what I'm saying."
The Doctor shuffles the cards again and they all go flying.
"I want you to explain everything."
"Maybe not." There is a scuffling noise from behind the sofa. "You have a cat?"
"No.." The Doctor leans behind the sofa and the dummy's arm leaps out and grabs him by the neck. Rose wanders in with the coffee, completely oblivious.
"We did have, but there's these strays, they come in off the estate..."
Behind her, the Doctor is being strangled viciously by the hand while he tries vainly to fight it off. She does not quite seem to register that the Doctor is being harassed by a rubber hand.
"I told Mickey to chuck that out..."
She puts the coffee down on the table.
"Honestly, give a man a plastic hand... anyway, I don't even know your name, Doctor... what was it?"
The Doctor throws the hand off and it flies across the room. Rose catches it, and it grabs her face. She screams and the Doctor leaps up and tries to pull it off.
Rose's mom is blow drying her hair, oblivious.
The Doctor and Rose crash onto the coffee table, breaking it, and roll onto the floor. The Doctor pushes her back onto the sofa and gets out his sonic screwdriver, disabling the hand.
"It's alright, I've stopped it. There you go, you see?" He tosses it to her.
"'Armless."
"Do you think?"
She uses it to whack him on the shoulder.
"Ow!"
"Well you asked for it!"
"I suppose. Well, I must be going. Thanks for the coffee!" The Doctor walks out.
"Oi!" The lights go down and the scrim goes down.
