INT. TARDIS CONTROL ROOM
DOCTOR and LUKE stand near the center,RENEE comes down stairs,rubbing head.
RENEE
Oh,hello Doctor. What happened? And why is my head pounding?
BEAT
Why am I in the TARDIS? Last thing I remember is sitting a table in Sto...
DOCTOR
Ask Luke
RENEE
Luke?
LUKE
Tall, gangly, not human.
RENEE
Not human? We were attacked and I got hit on the head?
LUKE
Nope. You just got hammered
RENEE
I WHAT?!
LUKE
Downed a couple of bottles of chardonnay. Circa 2245. And we were in Sto,Circa 2862. You were...amusing.
RENEE rubs head
What did I do?
LUKE
Well...you tried to kiss me. Among other things
RENEE
And other things?
LUKE
Let's keep the recap PG,shall we?
RENEE
Keep it PG?! Tell me I didn't...oh please...I didn't..
LUKE
You tried. I refused your advances. I didn't want to be a Dad right now anymore than you want to be a Mum when you're in your right mind. Besides. MY Mum would kill me and I don't know what I would tell Maria."
RENEE
What else did I do? I must have acted like an idiot...
LUKE
You did. The table top rendition of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida was most amusing.
RENEE FACEPALMS
LUKE
It could have been worse. I made sure you kept your clothing on...Well. Most of it.
RENEE Buries face in hands
Never. NEVER let me do that again.
LUKE
If you're sure. But we did make enough to cover the cost of dinner.
RENEE
And explain to me why letting me drink that much was a good idea
LUKE
Hey. I thought you could handle it
RENEE
I'M 20! I obey the laws! I've never drank before in my life!
LUKE
I didn't know that! How was I supposed to know that?
RENEE
I informed you that I was 20 when you offered. What did you THINK that meant? You have to be 21 to drink in America!
LUKE
I'M BRITISH!
RENEE
I'M NOT. If the accent didn't clue you in,perhaps the fact that I mentioned it might have meant SOMETHING
DOCTOR
Calm down,break it up. Didn't you have fun before the bottle came out?
RENEE
Not the time to make drunk jokes Doc.
LUKE
And no. It was awkward,I told you I already have someone in mind and disusing a future that wasn't going to happen was...just wrong. The whole night was one thing after another. At least Ren's incident shock things up.
RENEE
So what was so important that you couldn't just drag us along?
DOCTOR
Stuff
RENEE
Stuff. STUFF? Luke just told you what I did while out of my mind and all we get is STUFF?!
DOCTOR
Who has the time machine?
RENEE mumbling
Fine. I want an explanation later. What are you supposed to do for a hangover? I feel like there's a thousand little hammers in my head going a full speed..."
DOCTOR turn to the conceal,pull out a mug
Drink this
RENEE [staring at cup]
What is it?
DOCTOR
Coffee. Irish Coffee.
RENEE
takes the cup,drinks it,there's a pause,face turns more sour.
Never doing that again. Never. I'm getting a shower. And then seeing if I can wait this thing out. And Doctor,we are going to have that talk...
RENEE
turns and leaves.
