[The Tyler flat]

(Jackie is emptying the washing machine.)

JACKIE:
What's wrong? What have I done now? Oh, this red top's falling to bits.

[Gallery 15]

JACKIE [OC]:
You should get your money back. Go on.

[The Tyler flat]

JACKIE:
There must be something, you never phone in the middle of the day.

[Gallery 15]

JACKIE [OC]:
What's so funny?

ROSE:
: Nothing. You all right, though?

[The Tyler flat]

JACKIE:
Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?

[Gallery 15]

ROSE:
What day is it?

[The Tyler flat]

JACKIE:
Wednesday, all day. You got a hangover?

[Gallery 15]

JACKIE:
Oh, I tell you what. Put a quid in that Lottery syndicate. I'll pay you back later.

ROSE:
Yeah, er, I was just calling 'cos

[The Tyler flat]

ROSE [OC]:
I might be late home.

JACKIE:
Is there something wrong?

[Gallery 15]

ROSE:
No. I'm fine. Top of the world.

(Jackie rings off.)

DOCTOR:
Think that's amazing, you want to see the bill.

ROSE:
That was five billion years ago. So, she's dead now. Five billion years later, my mum's dead.

DOCTOR:
Bundle of laughs, you are.

(The space station shakes.)

DOCTOR:
That's not supposed to happen.

[Steward's office]

STEWARD:
Well, what was it? I'm just getting green lights at this end.

(He makes a calm broadcast.)

STEWARD:
Honoured guests may be reassured that gravity pockets may cause slight turbulence, thanking you.

(He berates Control.)

STEWARD:
The whole place shook! I felt it. I've hosted all sorts of events on Platforms One, Three, Six and Fifteen and I've never felt the slightest tremor. I warn you, if this lot decide to sue. I'm going to scan the infrastructure.

(He does so, then hears a scuttling sound.)

STEWARD:
What's that? Control, I don't want to worry you, but I'm picking up readings. I have no idea. Well, they're small. The scan says they're metal. I don't know what they look like!

(Then he sees one on the desk.)

STEWARD:
Although I imagine they might look rather like that. You're not on the guest list. How did you get on board?

(The spider pushes a button on his desk keyboard.)

STEWARD:
No.

COMPUTER:
Sun filter deactivated.

STEWARD:
No!

COMPUTER:
Sun filter descending.

(The room starts to fill with white light from the ceiling downwards as the filter on the window lowers.)

STEWARD:
No! Sun filter, up! No, no, no!

COMPUTER:
External temperature four thousand degrees.

STEWARD:
Control, respond! Sun filter up! Argh!

(The spider escapes through a small vent into the corridor.)
