[Dallas isn't going to complain. He's still pretty upset about Stephanie taking off on him, but he likes the Doctor. This isn't an awful set-up at all.]

Nah, I'm alright. But man, would you look at that. Looks like you're stuck with me for a bit, Doc.

I volunteered to assist in helping with the animals-that-also-happen-to-be-people, so perhaps you could join me on the deck while I change out the water? It would give us the opportunity to talk. Just be careful of where you step.

Been avoiding gettin' roped into a job like that, but haven't got anything better to do. I'll meet you there.

Jobs like that aren't so bad if you have someone to do them with.

[But he waits up on the deck, dumping a giant container of water over the side.]

[Dallas arrives, just as he promised. Although he never did promise to actually be helpful, so he just leans against the railing and watches the Doctor pour the water overboard. Not lifting a finger here without being asked, bro.]

Gotta wonder who hired the Admiral in the first place, y'know? People bein' turned into animals all thanks to the fact that his driving's a god-awful mess.

[He doesn't need help quite yet. He just drags the container over to where he can fill it up.]

When it's me in my ship, I have difficulty driving it because I'm only one man and it's made for six. Perhaps the Admiral has a similar issue.

In any case, at least the usual raving sounds more rightfully like barnyard noises. [He's never been impressed by politics.]

Your ship?

[Give him a moment. He vaguely remembers a mention of the TARDIS way back when.]

You mean that....I dunno what you called it. You offered it as a place to hide out during that Aztec take-over. [He gives a chuckle.] Regret not takin' you up on it now. How do you hide somethin' like that anyway?

I'll show it to you! [Now that it's nearly filled back up, he motions Dallas over.] It's bigger on the inside. I like to think of it as a trick better than the best magician could pull. It's a pity she won't leave Barge space with an inmate aboard. I think you would have enjoyed the trip.

[Dally raises an eyebrow, but wanders over to the Doctor anyway, too interested in this description to realize that he's likely being roped into helping.]

Man, I'll believe that when I see it. How's that work? Same way that there's more than one of you?

Very much along those lines. [He scoots the water along whenever Dallas has a hold of it.] The interior is white, and the console has three sides. The TARDIS hums sometimes depending on her mood, but you scarcely notice it.
