A aventura está fora da tela, como devemos assumir que muitos são. Além disso, e isto é confirmado pelo comentário em DVD, os escritores aproveitaram a oportunidade para fazer soar como uma aventura estranhamente bizarra, já que eles sabiam que não teriam que descobrir como nos mostrar isso.
SALLY: Doctor! Doctor! Doctor!
DOCTOR: Hello. Sorry, bit of a rush. There's a sort of thing happening. Fairly important we stop it.
SALLY: My God, it's you. It really is you. Oh, you don't remember me, do you?
(Martha is carrying a quiver of arrows, and the Doctor has a long bow.)
MARTHA: Doctor, we haven't got time for this. The migration's started.
DOCTOR: Look, sorry, I've got a bit of a complex life. Things don't always happen to me in quite the right order. Gets a bit confusing at times, especially at weddings. I'm rubbish at weddings, especially my own.
SALLY: Oh, my God, of course. You're a time traveller. It hasn't happened to you yet. None of it. It's still in your future.
DOCTOR: What hasn't happened?
MARTHA: Doctor, please. Twenty minutes to red hatching.
SALLY: It was me. Oh, for God's sake, it was me all along. You got it all from me.
DOCTOR: Got what?
SALLY: Okay, listen. One day you're going to get stuck in 1969. Make sure you've got this with you. You're going to need it.
(Sally hands her file of documents to the Doctor.)
MARTHA: Doctor!
DOCTOR: Yeah, listen, listen, got to dash. Things happening. Well, four things. Well, four things and a lizard.
SALLY: Okay. No worries. On you go. See you around some day.
DOCTOR: What was your name?
SALLY: Sally Sparrow.
DOCTOR: Good to meet you, Sally Sparrow.
