DOCTOR: Do you have a name or number? I’m the Doctor.

BUTLER: Doctor?

DOCTOR: Just the Doctor. And you’re?

BUTLER: I am designated Butler. Just Butler. No definite article.

DOCTOR: And are you in charge round here?

BUTLER: I am at the service of Auntie. She is the leader of the Earth Colony Phoenix.

DOCTOR: A leader called Auntie, eh? How cosy. I don’t suppose you were thinking of taking me to see this Auntie or are you going to throw me into some kind of tedious cell first?

ERIMEM: I used to be a queen, a god. I knew who I was and what I was for. But now, I just don’t know any more.

PERI: Oh, come on. Don’t get maudlin. You’ve been given an opportunity to travel all through Time and Space. A chance most people can only dream of. Embrace it, go with the flow.

ERIMEM: Go with the flow?

PERI: It means take life as it comes. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Que sera sera. It’s like a rollercoaster ride in the dark. You never know if you’re about to go up or down, but you know it’s going to be wild.

ERIMEM: What is that thing?

PERI: A space station. Looks a bit dead.

DOCTOR: Does seem a bit dark, doesn’t it. Shall we take a closer look? I really do think I’m getting better at these short hops. Textbook landing. No complaints I trust, ladies?

PERI: You want a spontaneous round of applause?

DOCTOR: You can save that for the next time you’re watching me bat.

PERI: Let’s hope that won’t be for a while. At least baseball only takes hours, not days.
