"Open your eyes, look up to the sky, and see" he says pointing upwards "there's whole worlds up there and if you know just where to look you can find beauty and splendour and wonder, there's some boring ones too of course but I'll try to avoid them, don't want to end up on Danthra again" he looks at her with that brilliant smile of his.
"My eyes are open, you sweet-talker you" answers Rose "I learned about the planets in school I'll have you know; Mercury, Venus, Earth Mars, she's stopped with a wave of his hand "if I can exist and I do then what else is out there?" He's got a good point, maybe there is more to life than this, she just has to take what he's offering, she'd be mad to turn him down "alright then, I'll go but only if you don't quote me any more Queen songs", "not a fan I take it" is his smart-arse reply.
This is amazing! I love his hyperactivity and sincerity. Rose is great with wondering what else is out there, and I think we all feel this way sometimes. And then she ends up going with him and it's just beautiful the way it all works out.

He puffs a bit as he climbs the hill - age doesn't help when it comes to this steep nightly walk, but it doesn't deter him either - and when he gets to the top, Donna is there waiting for him, smiling up at the stars: "Ready to continue the hunt for little green men?" she asks, and he replies happily, settling down to adjust the telescope, "Let's have a look, then, and just see what there is to see."
