PERI: Sounds swell, Doctor, and I’d love to see it myself some time. But there’s one thing the Vegas of ‘57 didn’t have...

DOCTOR: And that is?

PERI: The reason we’re here! Remember? The belated birthday present you promised me? The pelvis that’s about to be gyrating on that stage! Elvis “The King” Presley!

DOCTOR: That’s not entirely true, Peri. I was there when Elvis made his debut just down the road at the New Frontier. April 1956. He didn’t exactly rattle the turnstiles in those days, but—

PERI: No, I mean the real Elvis. The jumpsuits. The belts. The rhinestones. I still can’t believe we’re here. It’s so exciting! (Her eyes shine with expectation)

DOCTOR: (A smile etches its way across his face) You’re really looking forward to this, aren’t you?

PERI: He’s the best, Doctor.

DOCTOR: But why?

PERI: He’s just...I don’t know. The voice, the look, the moves. Every time I hear him I get goose bumps and a tingle down my spine. I love him.

DOCTOR: Well, you just can’t help falling in love sometimes, Peri. And, thanks to a friend who owns a time machine, you get to experience him up close.

ELVIS: (lifting a microphone to his lips) Ladies and gentlemen, before tonight’s performance, I just wanna say a few words. I kinda think somethin’ happened to me tonight. I don’t know what, I don’t know how, and if I think about it, I may just damn near go crazy.

(Peri picks up the item left on the table for her by the Doctor. It is an autograph book.)

ELVIS: But somewhere out there tonight is a gentleman who I get the feeling might have saved my life.

(Peri opens the book and reads the first page. Her eyes widen and she looks down at the Doctor in amazement, before gazing in awe at Elvis standing on stage, her mouth hanging open.)

ELVIS: Doctor, if you’re out there, sir, I’ve just got one thing to say: thank you very much.

(The band strikes up the first chords of "See See Rider", the Doctor rises to his feet and stands, placing an arm affectionately round Peri’s shoulders.)

DOCTOR: No, Mr Presley, (grinning) thank you very much.
