Happily ever after
I picked up the new DWM this morning ( Donna cover, durr!), and I'm at work (shhh!), so I've only skimmed through it, and among the extremely cute interviews with everyone who appeared in the finale, they've also printed the script for that cut scene from Journey's End...
The Doctor
Tell you what, here you go -
Throws them a chunk of CORAL - Doctor #2 catches it.
The Doctor (CONT'D)
This universe is in need of defending. Chunk of Tardis. Grow your own.
The Doctor #2
But that takes thousands of years
The Doctor
No, because...
Donna
... if you shatterfry the plasmic shell and modify the dimensional stabiliser to a foldback harmonic of 36.3, you accelerate the growth by the power of 59!
The Doctor / The Doctor #2
We never thought of that!
Donna
I'm just brilliant!
The Doctor
The Doctor. In the TARDIS. With Rose Tyler. Just as it should be.
Rose Tyler
(to the Doctor) But I didn't think, What about you? You gonna be all right?
The Doctor
Oh, I've got madam.
Donna
Human with a Time Lord brain, perfect combination! We can travel the universe forever. Best Friends! And equals, just what old skinnyboy needs, an equal!
FX: The TARDIS lamp flares, the box groans.
Now Russell then says that the scene was just cut for pacing and to remove the added complication, but he also adds that "if you want, you can still assume that this dialogue was said", and that the scene will be included in the Season 4 boxset, "so you could argue that it did actually happen!"
Personally? That's not entering my canon.
