 "Yeah. I live in Cardiff." |
 "How long?" |
| "A long damned time. A hundred and forty-" He lifted his eyebrows. "Huh." |
| Jamie smiled sweetly, "Are you feeling okay?" |
| "Yeah," he agreed. "That's kind of cool." |
| "What?" |
| "The timing." |
| "Oh my god," Jamie sighed, "Nevermind, we're leaving it. Who's here and interesting?" |
| "The Doctor, Ianto, Owen, Tosh, Gwen, Another Ianto and Owen, Gwen, a couple of other Doctors, another me, the Master, Rose." |
| Jamie abruptly looked queasy. |
| "What?" |
| "Ianto, Owen, Gwen and Tosh are great and all. But who's the Master? And the Doctor and Rose are here?" |
| "The Master is apparently a genocidal maniac who's running for Prime Minister. The Doctor and Rose are here, yeah. " |
| "...Awkward. What happened to Harriet Jones?" |
| "She was apparently tired and retired from office to get more sleep." ...Not a politics person. |
| "And admirable goal?" Jamie said, sounding confused. |
| "I guess." He shrugged and looked pained. |
| "What?" Jamie asked, automatically reaching for Jack's arm. |
| He didn't mind. "I don't know. I never understood what happened there." |
| "Happened where?" he double checked. |
| "The abrupt loss of office. Not the ash and the explosion and the Doctor." |
| "The what?" |
| "Does your father have a hand in a jar?" |
| "I sincerely hope not, that's creepy." |
| "Ah. Never mind then," he said, sheepishly. |
| "You have the Doctor's hand in a jar, Jack?" |
| "Of course not. That's creepy." he lied badly. |
| "Don't you have blood samples?" |
| "What kind of blood samples," he asked, shiftily. |
| "...The Doctor's blood samples from his time in Unit." |
| He lifted his eyebrows and smiled, serenely. |
| "Okay, then you do. Why do you need a hand then?" |
| "Who said I had a hand?" |
| "You're a bad liar," he said vaguely. |
| "You came out of my ass, you have no room to be insulting anyone." |
| "Yes, yes, where half a galaxy has gone before." |
| "Where half the galaxy has came, not gone. You, you just went." |
| "I did," Jamie agreed, "Shame on me." |
| "I'm sure he made you pay for it later." |
| "No," he shook his head. |
| "That part was a joke." |
| "He doesn't regret me." he sounded a bit like he was convincing himself. |
| "I'm sure he doesn't," he said, very seriously. |
| "I really hope he's here," Jamie said thoughtfully. |
| "Why?" |
| "I need his advice about something," Jamie said vaguely. |
| "About what?" |
| "You wouldn't be able to help." |
| "Tell me anyway." |
| He rolled his eyes, "Fine. I just had my first regeneration and I'm starting to worry it's going badly and that's why I'm in this crazy place." |
| He rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Not unless the Doctor's really crazy and hallucinating himself here, too." |
| "Pardon me?" |
| "He's here, isn't he? Several times over." |
| "You said that," he nodded, "I can't cross into his timeline." |
| "Why not?" |
| "Because then I won't be born," he said sounding like he was reciting. |
| "I don't think that's how it works." |
| "Paradox." |
| "No." He shook his head. |
| "What?" |
| "No. " |
| "Yes it does," he argued. |
| "No, it doesn't." |
| "If I cross into his timestream before I'm born it'll mess up his and everything will be a mess." |
| "Why?" |
| "...What do you mean why? Isn't it obvious?" |
| "No. It's not obvious. You are not part of his timeline. The only way you could mess it up is by changing something, or crossing into your OWn timeline." |
| "He's got half my genetic material in him! That's crossing my own timeline. Technically." |
| "No, it's not." |
| "I'd want to change his timeline anyway." |
| "Why?" |
| "I'm a naughty man?" |
| "No, I mean what do you want to change?" |
| "I'd want to go with him." |
| "Why?" |
