[It's definitely not your imagination, Narvin. The old girl really is doing it on purpose.]
You--[But the words stop at the end of the Doctor's tongue. He's heard right, hasn't he? He stares for a moment at Narvin, but a jolt from the TARDIS jerks him out of it and he scrambles around the console to finish the landing sequence.] Hold that thought.
[He jogs right back around to the group of humans clinging to the railing and beams at them.] And we're back home! Now, I'm sure you lot have plenty of questions, but trust me, you're better off returning to your lives and boring ol' jobs, and moving onward. And if anyone asks, just blame your change in demeanor on a really bad batch of coffee from your local Starbucks. They should be all over the world by now, if I'm remembering correctly. So! Without further ado... [He strides past them, throwing open one of the TARDIS doors and gesturing outside.] ...Out you go!
[A large group of Japanese tourists bustle by, snapping pictures of something. The confused former hostages look between the glowing central console, Narvin, the Doctor, and the doors and start to filter outside. He too gives Narvin a look, but not an annoyed one for once, but he doesn't want to get into it right yet with the humans still there. Thankfully, a call from Oliver lets him put that off for a few minutes longer, but once he's done, he returns his attentions to Narvin.]

I'm sorry, but did you say "the Axis"?!
