[32-year-old Reinette barges past Rose and Mickey behind the tapestry and finds herself on the spaceship at the Dagmar Cluster, two and a half galaxies away from Earth, in the 51st Century, roughly 3300 years in her future]
Reinette Poisson : This is his world.
[the members of the royal court start screaming somewhere in the distance]
Reinette Poisson : What was that?
Mickey Smith : [hesitates, then to Rose] The time window. The Doctor fixed an audio link.
Reinette Poisson : Those screams... Is that my future?
Rose Tyler : Yeah, I'm sorry.
Reinette Poisson : Then I must take the slower path.
Madame Du Pompadour : [echoing in the halls] Are you there? Can you hear me? I need you, now! You promised! The clock on the mantel is broken!
Reinette Poisson : [fearful] Th- that's my voice.
Madame Du Pompadour : It is time!
Mickey Smith : Rose, come on, we gotta go. There's- there's a problem.
Rose Tyler : Give me a moment.
[Mickey hurries down the corridor of the ship]
Rose Tyler : Are you okay?
Reinette Poisson : No, I'm very afraid. But you and I both know, don't we Rose? The Doctor is worth the monsters.
[Reinette returns through the time window behind the tapestry to her own time]
Madame Du Pompadour : [echoing] Doctor! Doctor!
[in the ballroom, the clockwork service droids corner the royal court]
Madame Du Pompadour : [37 years old, speaking into her fireplace] Doctor!
King Louis : We must go! No one is coming to help us!
[a clockwork man appproaches and stands in the doorway. Madame Du Pompadour stands, turns, and gasps as memories flash in her mind of him in her bedroom in 1727 as 6-years-old Reinette. Two more costumed droids arrive, flanking him, completely blocking her and King Louis XV's egress]
Clockwork Man : You are complete. You will come.
