Scene 4

Jack: (to Jenny) Well... The Doctor is a Timelord... Just as you are! They have a little trick... When a Timelord is about to die, he can just change his body... as if he was being reborn... The memories stay the same, but except that, everything changes...
Jenny : That's why you look different now?
Doctor : Yes...
Jenny : But I still don't know what it has to do with the fall of the eleventh...
Jack : You saw the faces of the Teselecta when it looked like the incarnations of the Doctor... Remember how many there were.
Jenny : Closing her eyes to remember) Ten!
Doctor : Which means... ?
Jenny : (scared) You're the eleventh?!
Doctor : Apparently I am...
Amy : If you die... again... for the third time since I know you... I'm gonna be very cross!
Jenny : Three times?!
River : Don't ask... He was persuaded that it was the only way to save the universe...
Doctor : And I would do it again anytime! My life isn't more important than the continuing existence of the whole universe!
River : You see? And right now you're wrong! The universe was close to its end many times since you started travelling and everytime you saved it! If you wouldn't have been there, none of us would have been born!
Doctor : Who knows? Maybe none of these things would've happened if I'd just died all those years ago, instead of regenerating!
Amy : And prevent my child's birth?!
Rory : (correcting her) Our child...
Amy : However - she would never have been born! She's your wife! You can't want your wife not to exist!
River : Don't put him under pressure mother, he has so many decisions to make...
Dcotor : (speechless) River... Don't...
Jack : You're supposed to say thanks...
Doctor : Thank you, River. Of course I don't want you to vanish...
River : I know... Don't worry about that... (smiles softly)
Amy : Whatever it takes! We're gonna find a way to save you. You don't need to sacrifice yourself. We're with you. You're not alone.
Rory : Remember when I slapped you because you said my girlfriend wasn't more important than the whole universe? 
Doctor : (hesitating, taking a step back) Yes...
Rory : I don't want to slap you again. So don't make me.
Amy : (to the Doctor) You said what?
Rory : Don't worry, he just wanted to make sure I was myself and not that shooting plastic roman...
Jack : (ironic) How romantic! Look, this won't help us forward... We need to find out what this all means...
Doctor : (out of nowhere) River!!
River : (surprised) What is it?
Doctor : When I first met you, you told me, last time you saw me, I had a new suit and new haircut... Since it can't be this suit and haircut, that must mean I'm gonna get away with it!
River : But... (worried) Time can be rewritten... And why can't it be this suit and haircut?
Doctor : But that must happen! I can't tell you why, you mustn't know...
River : Of course... I know... Spoilers...
Amy : Now that's a first... The Doctor knows and you don't... Though it concerns you two...It's kind of weird actually... Isn't it?
Rory, River and the Doctor nod in approval.
Doctor : (mumbling under his breath) I'd prefer not to know...
River : What did you say?
Doctor : That day... I took your diary because I was curious, you told me I was not allowed to see it... I understand it now... You loved me and you didn't want me to know what was going to happen to me...
River : Yes... It's not always positive... But knowing and not being allowed to tell and not being able to change it... That's the worst suffering in the world...
Doctor nods sadly.
Jenny : So you're not gonna die. But we still need to find out what's going on...
Doctor : Right! So what do we do?
Amy : First we need to know what I had in common with all those people... with... you... (looking at the Doctor)
Jenny : Right! The Teselecta took your shapes too...
Doctor : But I can't cross my own timeline and I really can't figure out what it might be...
Amy : So I can't cross my own timeline either... Can I?
Doctor : No you can't - But we can! You just need to stay inside the TARDIS... But this time you do as I say!
Amy : What happens if I cross my own timeline? I met my 7year old self when I got out of the Pandorica... Nothing happened...
Doctor : That's because the universe was already collapsing...It couldn't have collapsed more... If you meet yourself, you create a paradox and if you touch yourself... I'd rather not be you...
Amy : (scared) I think I'm gonna stay inside the TARDIS...
Rory : I'm gonna stay with you... In case I'm at your house when the Doctor shows up...
Amy : But then River needs to stay in too... (seeing the Doctor's confusion) Remember Mels?
Doctor : Of course! So it's gonna be me Jack and Jenny... Let's go!
The three of them get out of the TARDIS.
