Ok, I`ve bottled out with the alternative dialogue, my memory doesn’t run to remembering what somebody said in a foreign language-I have enough problems with me own. So when they speak to each other,its written in english but they don’t understand each other `cos the automatic whatnots bust.
Rose stood in the tardis control room, glancing down at the screen she sighed “whats wrong with it now?” A strange gurgling noise echoed around her head, she closed her eyes and winced “not the plumbing again, please tell me its not the plumbing..I want a bath”
The doctor sighed, the screwdriver blinked, made a hiccupping noise, hissed and its blue light went out, the strange noise filled the air yet again, only this time Rose knew the source of it- it was coming from the doctors mouth!
“what?”
the doctor stared at her then ran desperately from one section of the control unit to the other “no no no,not now, please ..not this ..not now” colliding with Rose he apologized and kept going
“I don`t understand what you just..”
after chasing him around and failing to catch up she gave in and stood still, after he passed for the third time she decided enough was enough and stepped out in front of him.
“it’s the translation thing isn`t it?”
The doctor stood, mouth slightly open baffled look on his face “oh wonderful, just what I need”
“what?”
he began shouting “oh won-der-ful” he took a deep breath “no-things get -ting trans –late-ed
this is ridiculas ..why am I shouting? Its not like she`s deaf”
Rose took a deep breath “Ok, this isn`t getting us anywhere…not that this is going to make any sense but what the hey..”
“the sink is blocked up”
the doctor gazed at her blankly
“THE S-I-N-K is B-L-O..oh forget it this is going to take all night” she began looking around “what I need is..yes perfect” rummaging in a tool locker she picked up a sink plunger “perfect”
The doctors was now very confused , “ok.. she`s waving a sink plunger at me, at a time like this she` s hardly going to be trying to discuss plumbing is she?”
“well that didn`t seem to get through..ok lets try this… bunged up “ and waved the plunger at him. The doctor was panic stricken! running towards her desperate now to communicate,
“daleks? Where? The sensors must be out, they must be on board..where?”
he grabbed her arms “where are they?”
Rose was coming rapidly to the conclusion that he wouldn`t be this worked up over the fact that she couldn`t have a bath., she shook her head repeatedly “no, no..look” she pointed at the plunger and then began miming the actions to unblocking something
The doctors look stunned “I didn`t realise you knew galactic sign language for..that”
She smiled and he grinned back, thinking he`d got the message she nodded and pointed down “it’s the bathroom below us”
“ok..I didn`t realise you knew that one either, Jack has a lot to answer for”
An electrical flash arked from the handrail and hit his hand he jumped and yelled,banging against the controls, “ow..what the..”
“you alright?”
“yeh,just a ..” he looking up smiling “You understood me”
she smiled back and nodded “thank goodness for that”.
“what did you want”
“sink in the bathrooms bunged up again”
He laughed and held out his hand for the plunger
“it won`t sort it..it needs something with more…what are you laughing at?”
He shook his head “long story, um remind me to teach you galactic sign language..just in case”
“who needs it..no problem..doctor..doctor, whats so funny? DOCTOR…”
