LEADER: He knew we all know where we are from although no one yet has said the secret kept instead JACK: Little pony soldier LEADER: A shot sooner or later JACK: unpacking his hellos LEADER: raw hands and pounding heart JACK: What he might say LEADER: like policemen at home JACK: doing no harm left unsaid DOCTOR & LEADER: Nothing takes time but you waiting for change It's so far and my watching you amounts to a quarter of a mile at a dime a time JACK I: Little pony soldier JACK II: A shot sooner or later I: buried there in front of me II: save a life give all your blood I: Buried right here - II: any next cloud elsewhere I: - his special clear d**h rung ringing yet II: She steals rocket fuel you will too I & II: It's not up to you I: Getting out of here - II: Gentle little words I: - to protect - II: Gentle little mistakes I: - the secret source - II: Gentle little minds I: - and yet ... II: She once noticed him enough to say close enough to know he'd undressed and dressed again I: Not so - II: somewhere along - I: - long ago II: - his way DOCTOR & LEADER: The diamond on his ankle with its felt out.
