Well, I'll Do My Best,
but I can't make any promises.
In that case, you'd better consult those
All-Powerful superiors
of yours for their advice.
Oh, I don't think that'd
do any good --
At The Moment They're far
from being All-Powerful.
That's why it's been left up
to Me and Me and Me.
Doctor Who - The Day of the Doctor -
This time there's three of us
The Moment :
You wanted a big red button.
(A red, rose-like button stands on
a stalk above the Moment box.)
The Moment :
One big bang, No More Time Lords.
No More Daleks. Are you sure?
The Warrior :
I was sure when I came in here.
There is No Other Way.
The Moment :
You've seen the men you will become.
The Warrior :
Those men. Extraordinary.
The Moment :
They were you.
The Warrior :
No. They are
The Doctor.
The Moment :
You're The Doctor, too.
The Warrior :
No. Great Men are forged in Fire.
It is the privilege of lesser Men
to Light The Flame,
whatever The Cost.
(His hand hesitates over The Button as he
recalls the sound of children's laughter.)
The Moment :
You know the sound The TARDIS makes..?
That wheezing, groaning.
That sound brings Hope
wherever it goes.
The Warrior :
Yes. Yes, I like to think it does.
The Moment :
To anyone who hears it, Doctor.
Anyone, however lost.
VWORPP! VWORPP!
(and, in Stereo, as well..!)
VWORPP! VWORPP!
The Moment :
Even you.
(Two TARDISes park themselves in The Barn.
Enter The Doctors and Clara.)
CLARA:
I told you -- He hasn't done it yet.
The Warrior :
Go away now, all of you.
This is for Me.
Perfect-10 :
These events should be Time-locked.
We shouldn't even be here.
The Chin :
So something let us through.
The Moment :
You clever boys.
The Warrior :
Go back. Go back to Your Lives.
Go and Be The Doctor
that I could never be.
Make it worthwhile.
Perfect-10 :
All those years, burying you
in My Memory.
The Chin :
Pretending you didn't exist.
Keeping you A Secret, even from myself.
Perfect-10 :
Pretending you weren't The Doctor,
when you were The Doctor
more than anybody else.
The Chin :
You were The Doctor on The Day
it wasn't possible to get it right.
Perfect-10 :
But this time...
The Chin :
....You don't have to do it alone.
(They put their hands
on The Button together.)
The Warrior :
Thank you.
Perfect-10 :
What We Do today is not
out of fear or hatred.
It is done because
there is No Other Way.
The Chin :
And it is done In The Name
of the many lives we are
failing to Save.
(He glances over at Clara,
who shakes her head,
in the corner of his eye.)
The Chin :
....what?
What is it? What....?
CLARA:
Nothing.
The Chin :
No, it's something. Tell me.
CLARA:
You told me you wiped out
Your Own People. I just....
I never pictured you
doing it, that's all.
The Moment :
Take a closer look.
(It suddenly goes dark.)
CLARA:
What's happening?
The Warrior :
Nothing. It's a projection.
The Moment :
It's The Reality around you.
(They are seeing Gallifrey at War.)
CLARA:
...These are the people you're going to burn?
Perfect-10 :
There isn't anything we can do.
The Chin :
He's right. There isn't another way.
There never was. Either I
Destroy My Own People or
let The Universe burn.
CLARA:
Look at You. The Three of You.
The Warrior, The Hero, and You.
The Chin :
And What am I?
CLARA:
Have you really forgotten?
The Chin :
Yes. Maybe, yes.
CLARA:
We've got enough Warriors.
Any old idiot can Be a Hero.
The Chin :
Then What Do I Do?
Then What Do I Do?
CLARA:
What you've always done. Be a Doctor.
You told me The Name You Chose was
A Promise -- What was The Promise?
(The Fighting seems to have stopped on Gallifrey.)
Perfect-10 :
Never Cruel or Cowardly.
The Warrior :
Never give up, never give in.
(The images vanish.)
Perfect-10 :
You're not actually suggesting that we
change Our Own Personal History?
The Chin :
We change History all the time.
I'm suggesting far worse.
The Warrior :
What, exactly?
The Chin :
Gentlemen, I have had
four hundred years to think about
this -- I've changed My Mind.
(He sonics The Big Red Button
back into The Moment Box.)
The Warrior :
There's still a billion billion Daleks
up there, attacking.
The Chin :
Yeah, there is. There is.
Perfect-10 :
But there's something those billion
billion Daleks don't know.
The Chin :
Because if they did, they'd probably
send for reinforcements.
CLARA:
What? What don't they know?
The Chin :
This time, there's Three of Us.
The Warrior :
Oh! Oh, yes, that is good.
That is brilliant!
Perfect-10 :
Oh, oh, oh, I'm getting that too!
That is brilliant!
The Chin :
Ha, ha, ha! I've been thinking
about it for centuries.
The Warrior :
She didn't just show me any old future,
she showed me exactly
The Future I needed to see.
The Moment :
Now you're getting it.
The Chin :
Eh? Who did?
The Warrior :
Oh, Bad Wolf girl,
I could kiss you.
The Moment :
Yup, that's going to Happen.
Perfect-10 :
Sorry, did you just say 'Bad Wolf'?
CLARA:
So what are we doing?
What's The Plan?
The Warrior :
The Dalek fleets are surrounding Gallifrey, firing on it constantly.
Perfect-10 :
The SkyTrench is holding,
but What if the whole planet
just disappeared?
CLARA:
Tiny bit of an ask.
Perfect-10 :
The Daleks would be
firing on each other.
They'd destroy themselves
in their own crossfire.
The Warrior :
Gallifrey would be gone,
The Daleks would be destroyed,
and it would look to
The Rest of The Universe
as if they'd annihilated each other.
CLARA:
But where would Gallifrey be?
Perfect-10 :
Frozen. Frozen in an instant of time,
safe and hidden away.
The Chin :
Exactly.
The Warrior :
Like A Painting.
Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/ Jor-El :
Could be A Warning --
To show Us What's
Going to Happen.
A sort of... remote camera
view of The Future....
So that We can
CHANGE it.
Someone Has FINALLY
Shown-up to Tell Us :
I Think it's Time We Stood-up
for What We ARE.
