[ The video clicks on to reveal two familiar faces: the City is, once again +1 Scottish redhead and +1 floppy-haired bow-tied Doctor. Even if said Doctor is currently hiding the floppy hair under a sombrero.

They're both grinning wildly. ]

Do you want to do the honours? I think you should.

[ The Doctor looks pleased, taking a deep breath and then he is doing a truly remarkable impression of a drum roll. While Amy is not giggling. Really. ]

Guess what, City? We're back. Did you miss us?

[ A beat. ] You better have. Roll call, who's here? Barnes, you better not have left while I was gone or I will confiscate all your alcohol.

[ He's vaguely concerned about you, Clint. You've got ideas about Amelia. ] The City just enjoys us that much.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ Strictly pure ideas, Doctor. Sometimes. ] The hat fashion went downhill after you left. You've saved us all.

I know, the pile of porkpies are still here, that's just unacceptable. Don't worry, we'll be open for business soon.

British cuisine sitting uneaten and no one mentioned it? I'm disappointed.

[wearafeznow]

[ Chuckling. ] It's a hat.

[ Lifting one up with a smile. ] See? Who wouldn't want one of these?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ He's eyeing it up with far too much interest. ]

If you need to get an extra one off your hands, I might know a good home.

[wearafeznow]

You're a lover of hats, Agent Barton?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Not openly, I'm still in the closest.

[ Video ]

[wearafeznow]

Why would you be in there? Come down to the shop.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ The smile replaces laughter, but it's close enough. ] I need an audience before I can step out, make the announcement official.

[ Video ]

[wearafeznow]

You don't have to hide your fondness for hats. It should be celebrated.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Set one aside, I'll make sure everyone knows how proud I am.

[ Video ]

[wearafeznow]

You have my word.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

You're a gem. Everyone's gonna be so jealous.

[ Video ]

[wearafeznow]

You'll be the toast of the ball.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Might even pull off some Jackson moves.

[ Video ]

[wearafeznow]

Who's Jackson?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Michael Jackson? C'mon, you can't tell me you don't know who he is.

[ Video ]

[wearafeznow]

Oh. I thought perhaps he was a personal friend of yours.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Nah, don't really do close and personal except for the obvious.

[ Video ]#

[wearafeznow]

You don't like having friends?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

It's less that I don't like, and more that my career kind of took over. [ And keeping himself at a distance leaves less ties to be exploited. ]

[ Video ]

[wearafeznow]

Ah. Yes. Well, I can see how that would go. [ His life may not be a career, but sometimes he lets it get in the way of the most basic of needs: Friendship. ]

Do you do better here?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

You see the same people often enough and somehow you've got friends. Who knew?

[ But he's still careful of what he says to who. ]

[ Video ]

[wearafeznow]

Well, I'd rather like to be considered a friend. If you'll let me. [ Because he is all about befriending the world. ] It would be nice, wouldn't it?
