Sorry about the wait.
Edit: Reposted to include one little thing I forgot the first time.
And so, after a whole week of living completely different lives to what they're used to...
(Shots of Miranda running into the TARDIS, intertwined with Rose doing housework/sitting around doing nothing)
... everything's out to change, as today is Rules Change Day.
(Shots of each wife writing out a set of rules on a piece of paper.)
This time it's up to the wives to set the rules, which their new families must obey.
Rose (to camera): "It's time for this family to move forward and see how exciting life can really be."
Miranda (to camera): "It's time for the Doctor to be a more responsible father and to find out how family life should be. He'll thank me one day."
The families are summoned to the Rules Change Ceremony.
(Shots of each family sitting down on the couch, with each mother standing at the front of the room holding their piece of paper.)
Rose (reading from paper): "I have been travelling in time for 15 years now, but you guys are literally stuck in the past. We need to do something about that."
(Over to Miranda)
Miranda: "First of all - Doctor, what kind of a name is that? You may be an alien, but even aliens have names."
The Doctor: "Actually, the Daleks don't..."
Miranda: "And so, you are now required to go by a proper name. You must have one, surely?"
(The Doctor scratches his head.)
The Doctor: "Well, at the Academy I went by the name Theta Sigma, but I don't really..."
Miranda: "Good enough."
(Back to Rose)
Rose: "John, Miranda might be happy for you to play the workaholic, racist, homophobic husband, but I'm not. You are going to come home at 6 pm every day. At night, you will help me clear the table and stack the dishwasher."
John: "I spend the whole day working!"
Rose: "That doesn't mean you can't pitch in a little at home."
(The kids give snorts of laughter, and John crosses his arms.)
(Back to Miranda)
Miranda: "Doctor, by living this life, you are endangering your children's lives and exposing them to themes and ideas that they shouldn't need to be aware of yet. Therefore ... No. More. Travelling."
(Gapes and gasps from everyone on the couch.)
The Doctor: "You can't do that!"
Miranda: "Guess what? I just did."
(Romana starts crying.)
(Back to Rose)
Rose (still addressing John): "You will spend more time with your children. That includes tucking them in, playing board games with them ... and going to Michael's soccer game on Saturday."
Michael: "Yes!"
John (sighing): "I guess I can do that."
(Back to Miranda.)
Miranda: "We are going to settle down and live a normal life. You can still live in the TARDIS, but under no circumstances may you take it anywhere. I have leased a small area of land in London where you can park it for the week. It is close to the local school, which Romana and David will be attending."
(Romana and David go wide-eyed.)
The Doctor: "The kids are way too smart to go to a normal Earth school."
David: "Can we go anyway Dad? It'd be interesting to interact with kids our own age, for more than a couple of hours before travelling on into time and space. Not that I'm complaining or anything."
The Doctor: "Well, we don't have any choice."
Miranda: "And you, Doctor, or should I say Theta, will be taking a job at the local bank. It's a simple 9 to 5 job that will show you how a man should provide for his family."
The Doctor: "I can't believe this..."
(Back to Rose)
Rose: "The kids should be allowed to make friends with who they want. You need to let poeple into your home without suspicion that they'll badly influence them. So I have arranged for a party on Friday night."
Jennifer and Michael: "Cool!"
Rose: "The kids can invite whoever they want, and I'll be bringing some adult friends of mine along too."
John (suspiciously): "Who? What for?"
Rose: "You'll see."
(Back to Miranda)
Miranda: "Finally, everyone in a household should be able to communicate on the same level. So I am banning any speaking of Gallifreyan, learning about Gallifreyan/Gallifrey or anything else to do with it."
The Doctor (saying a Gallifreyan swear word): "Crista!"
Miranda: "That's exactly what I'm talking about."
(The kids cuddle up to the Doctor, who puts his head in his hands.)
The Doctor (to camera): "She's like a Dalek, exterminating everything that makes this family special."
Romana (to camera): "She's like a parallel Cyberman, like 'You must be upgraded or you will be deleted!' "
David (to camera): "She's like a Slitheen, coz she's fat" -giggles-
(Back to Rose)
Rose: "Then, on the weekend, we're going to have a little road trip!"
John: "What?"
Rose: "Obviously access to a TARDIS or other form of spaceship would be nice, but failing that I have purchased a caravan."
Michael: "No way!"
Rose: "Yes way. You kids are gonna get out there and see that there's more in this world than this house and this town."
(The kids look at each other and smile excitedly, while John gives Rose the death stare.)
John (to camera): "I thought Rose was finally beginning to see my point of view. I was wrong."
Jennifer (to camera): "I'm so excited about the party! I'm going to invite Ally, and Jane, and Molly..."
Michael (to camera): "I'm really happy that Miss Rose is giving me a chance to spend more time with my dad." -smiles-
Wow that was fun.
