[rubs the back of his neck] Nah, not really. I just...suddenly found myself in her body. Very weird, I'll tell you that. [at least when he was John Smith, the experience was natural and not jarring.]
[smiles] You have no idea what a relief it is to see it's you in my body. Anyone else would've remarked about the two hearts bit, but not you! Though...I'm not sure I approve of what you've done to my hair...
Power? But I'm no more powerful than--oh. [then it dawns on him. stupid doctor.] Oh I see. Well...I think without his mind and you in control, you'd be in a similar situation as I am now.
[stares for a moment before he speaks] Well...I've met myself before, but this certainly is different.

Met yourself?

[smiles faintly] Who else on this ship, besides me, can meet his past selves, old girl?

[thinks on this but a moment before breaking out in a smile] Doctor! What are you doing in that body?

Oh, you know, thought I'd give it a stroll since Donna leant it to me so eagerly.

...did she?

It is a strange occurrence, even for this ship. I cannot say I am unhappy, however, though I would prefer you not be in her body.
I feel no different in your body, aside from aesthetic differences. [pats her hair] It is distracting.

[pouts] What's wrong with her body? Sure, the hair's a bit long, but it's ginger! Can't complain there. Although, it does hurt to run...
[frowns again!] How is it distracting? It's all on top of my head! Not spilling over my shoulders!

Because she is not you.
Should that matter? It still feels strange, sticking up all ways. I would rather feel it against my back than otherwise.

Well, no... I'd like to be in my body. It's beginning to be a bit of a strain keeping my mind from hurting her human brain.
Too bad you couldn't have turned up in my eighth self's body. Certainly had the hair for that then, especially when wet.

It is difficult, is it not, protecting her tiny body from you? Unfair that you be forced into it, then.
[shakes her head, considering that] Best that I not find myself in his body. I fear what I might do given that power.

I think 'ironic' is the better word here...

Ironic? I do not understand.
Perhaps.

[softly] I... [looks away] Because of what I had to do to her.
