[ 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.

You have a carer?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Depends who you ask.

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

'm asking you.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

The technical term is a handler, but I'm a handful.

[waitedforyears]

[ Thinking back to their first conversation. ] He the guy who-- [ died. ]

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ He shrugs, then nods, because pretending that didn't happen is working so well. ] He's the kind of guy you can't keep down for long.

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

Well, that's good, right?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

It's a second chance he would never've had otherwise.

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

Sometimes, you get those. And third. [ Thinking of Rory. ]

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Third? [ He senses experience. ]

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

Or fourth, even.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

This's a time travel thing, right?

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

And a-- universe crossing, weird stuff happening, reboot everything, aliens sort of thing.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

There's always aliens. [ He wants to meet a nice one he can befriend, okay? It's a childhood dream. ] One day soon I'm getting you drunk and you're telling me some of these stories.

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

Sure, get in line. [ Grinning a little widely. ] The fella in the hat's an alien, did you know?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

The mad time travelling scientist is an alien? [ He considers the evidence and shrugs. ] Makes sense.

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

Yep, that's the one.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

My dream's come true at last.

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

Your dream?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Always wanted to meet E.T. [ Shrugs. ] Close enough.

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

He looks better, though.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

He's a good looking guy. It's not one of those perception tricks, is it? [ Pfft, magic, pfft. ]

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

Nope, it isn't. 'least I don't think it is, and I'd know.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

'Cause you spend so much time together. [ Right? ]

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

He's my best friend.
