They always found one another, didn't they? Romana, and Narvin, and Leela; always together in some combination. An enclave of familiarity against the vastness of time.

DOCTOR: You always were a terrible judge of character. Look at me!

BERNICE: Happily.

DOCTOR: Have you had a good life?

BERNICE: All things considered.

DOCTOR: Quite. And you’ve just saved the universe again.

BERNICE: I have, haven’t I? Something to tell the cats when I get home.

DOCTOR: Cats, eh? Plural?

BERNICE: Plural.

DOCTOR: How many? Not too many?

BERNICE: No such thing. Oh, you’re going to love them. Come on.

DOCTOR: Back home?

BERNICE: And beyond.

(The Doctor uses his sonic as a magnifier, spots a set of dice.)

DOCTOR: Ah ha. Did you get your name from Dungeons and Dragons?

ROGUE: Roll for Insight.

NARVIN: Never change, Leela. You are the one rock in this whole turbulent universe.

LEELA: Thank you, I think.

DOCTOR: Oh, the blossomiest blossom. That's the only sad thing. I want to know what happens next. Right, then. Doctor Whoever-I'm-about-to-be. Tag, you're it.

MASTER: That's right, you tell me. And Ace! Or should I say Dorothy? Didn't the Doctor ditch you? No? Little fallout with your Machiavellian maestro?

ACE: Last time I saw you, you were half cat.

MASTER: A man's allowed to experiment.

(Dan knocks out a Sontaran by hitting it in the back of the head with a wok)

DAN: How'd you like that, eh? Pan-fried Sontaran! Now I'm gonna... wok right out of here!

DAN: What's the point of being alive if it's not to make others happy?

RAYO: You could always help me feed the chickens if you like

NARVIN: Feed… chickens…? Right! Yes, of course. Happy to. Um… what am I meant to do exactly?

RAYO: Here, take a handful of seed. That’s it. now just scatter it in front of the coops. They’ll come to you

NARVIN: Right. (clears throat) Here, chicky chicky chicky!

RAYO: What are you doing?

NARVIN: Feeding them?

RAYO: Yeah, but… that noise you just made? What was that?

NARVIN: I thought that… perhaps… the chickens would like it?

DOCTOR: Cos sometimes this team structure isn't flat. It's mountainous, with me at the summit in the stratosphere, alone, left to choose.

DEAN: Halloween's next month, mate. (throws salad at him) Eat my salad, Halloween!

NARVIN: And that, dear, sweet Leela, is how I first met your friend, the Doctor.

MISS QUILL: That's the size of a kitten.

BALLON: Are kittens dangerous?

MISS QUILL: Only if you insult their worshippers online.

(Miss Quill reading The Hunger Games)

MISS QUILL: Did this really happen?

(Armitage enters.)

QUILL: Leave us! We are decorating.

(Armitage leaves.)

CORAKINUS: We are here for the Cabinet.

DOCTOR: Oh, the Cabinet! Oh, that's easy. There's this painfully strange shop here called IKEA.

RIVER: Does sarcasm help?

DOCTOR: Wouldn't it be a great universe if it did?

LIV: I’ll stay, you know. As long as you need me

DOCTOR: We all need someone. That’s what hope is. Other people.

DOCTOR: Sometimes the only choices you have are bad ones. But you still have to choose.

DOCTOR: Love from Gallifrey boys!

OHILA: We restored you to life, but it's a temporary measure. You have a little under four minutes.

DOCTOR: Four minutes? That's ages. What if I get bored? I need a television, couple of books, anyone for chess? Bring me knitting.

DOCTOR: I'm a doctor. But probably not the one you're expecting.

Drucker: I wish to speak with you, Professor.

Litefoot: It's late. And I'm not in the habit of conversing with unfamiliar men in the street. I suggest that you find a more civilized time and place to discuss whatever it is that brings you here tonight.

Drucker: Not so fast, Professor.

Litefoot: Ah. I feared it might be like that.

Drucker: Now, Professor, I hope you're not going to make this difficult.

Litefoot: I rather think that depends, sir, on what it is you have in mind.

Drucker: [Laughs] I like you Prof. You've got spirit.

Litefoot: I have a cane, too. And I'm not afraid to wield it!

VASTRA: But could the child have begun on the TARDIS in flight, in the vortex?

DOCTOR: No! No! Impossible! It's all running about, sexy fish vampires and blowing up stuff. And Rory wasn't even there at the beginning. Then he was dead, then he didn't exist, then he was plastic. Then I had to reboot the whole universe. Long story. So, technically the first time they were on the TARDIS together in this version of reality, was on their w-

VASTRA: On their what?

DOCTOR: On their wedding night.
