Liz: So she'll be traveling with us when this is all over then?

The Doctor: No.

Rose: But Doctor, I..

The Doctor: (Interrupting Rose) Rose, you have a life, a life with the other me in your own world!

Rose: It's not just you, it's the whole traveling and the Tardis, I miss it all, besides, this time you have changed…too much, it's no longer about you, I am happy with the other you!

The Doctor: (Angrily) Rose Tyler, you have gone far enough! You have had more time traveling with me than most of my other companions, the only other one I can think of who has been as lucky as you was Sarah Jane and now even her own journey has ended, I have regenerated two three times since we last met, I too have changed!

(Rose has a look of shock and sadness)

The Doctor: I'm…I'm sorry Rose, forgive me, I have been through so much and I'm so very old now….You had your time with me and now is a chance for others to share your experience.

Rose: No, it's my fault, I was being selfish. Your right Doctor, others should be as lucky as Sarah Jane and I have been.

Liz: (To the Doctor) How many others have there been at your side before me?

The Doctor: I don't know….a lot have been with me and a lot have died around me. (A tear falls from her eye) Liz, you will not be one of the lost, you will be like Sarah Jane and Rose, with me until the end, one of the few and one of the lucky.

Liz: But we have only just met, how can you be so sure this will happen?

The Doctor: Time Lord, remember?

(Liz hugs The Doctor, they both smile)

The Doctor: Now, lets get to the bottom of this, shall we?

Both Liz and Rose: Yes!

(The Doctor heads for the exit)

Liz: Doctor, don't we need to find out what they want with me?

The Doctor: Of course, but first we need to do some questioning.

(They Leave the Tardis)
