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.

RUBY: Gallifrey? And where's that?

DOCTOR: Gone! Ruby, it's gone. It's gone. They died. There was a genocide, and they died. So the one that was adopted was the only one left. I am the last of the Time Lords. And I am so, so glad to be alive.

DOCTOR: Oh! Pssh! They are not time travellers. Excuse me. Time travellers are great. Like the best. Like, wow. This lot just bimble.

RANI: Years ago, when we lost Sarah-Jane, it felt like the story was over. And it was. But there are always other stories to be told. There are always more wonders to see, more friendships to make, and more injustices to be fought. Like Sarah-Jane always said.. Life on Earth is an adventure too. And it’s an adventure that never ends.

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?

VEEGA: Be careful, Leela.

LEELA: I shall.

VEEGA: You’ve been so good to us over the years.

LEELA: And you have been good to me. I will see you when we return.

VEEGA: Goodbye, Leela.

ROMANA: Kill every last person and Unity becomes just another dead rock. Like all the other dead rocks you've left in your wake.

DALEK: Negative. Unity is more than other worlds.

ROMANA: You mean it's your fuel source. And who's going to mine that fuel? There's a war on. You don't have Daleks to spare.

DALEK: We will spare enough lives to keep the mines in operation.

ROMANA: And who will shuttle the miners back and forth to the mines? Who will cook their meals? Who will look after their children? Who will sweep the streets, and wash the laundry, and fix the plumbing? Who will live?

DALEK: That is not our concern.

ROMANA: No, I thought not, somehow.

DALEK: Provide us with the location of your associates.

ROMANA: We've been here before though, and I will never betray those I love. Not ever. So what are you going to do about it?

DALEK: Exterminate.

RACHEL: Something terrible's got into you, but please. You belong with us.

IAN: Always. We're a team Allison.

TOBY: And we're never letting go.

NARVIN: Look at the whiteboard! Was that you who wrote that?

DOCTOR: Oh, that, yes, sorry... I noticed you'd made a couple of mistakes, sorry, I was trying to be helpful. You see, if x is defined as—

NARVIN: Helpful? I spent hours working through those equations.

DOCTOR: Probably why you got them wrong, I'm sure you were tired.

NARVIN: They weren't wrong! And what's that? Bottom left.

DOCTOR: Oh, that's just a risotto recipe that occurred to me while I was correcting your maths. I jotted it down so I

didn't forget it. Then I forgot it, sorry. Do you have a spare piece of paper? I could just copy it down.

NARVIN: Are you awake? You took quite a knock on the head up there. Well, I can still feel your pulse, that's something. I don't know if you can hear me, but we're going to be fine. You're going to be fine. I've sent a communication back to the Capitol. They'll have a skimmer here soon. Can you manage a smile? You do have the most devastating smile, you know. But don't let anyone know I said that. Including you, it seems. Stay with me, Leela.

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

HELEN: Sorry, you know the Doctor?

RIVER: Intimately. What’s he come as? The magician, the spiv, or the geography teacher?

DOCTOR: Charley, C'Rizz, Lucie, Tamsin, Molly. Friends, companions I've known, I salute you. And Cass, I apologise. Physician, heal thyself.

DOCTOR: I walked away from the last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords.

I saw the birth of the universe and I watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained.

No time. No space. Just me.

I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a mad man.

I've watched universes freeze and creations burn. I've seen things you wouldn't believe. I have lost things you will never understand.

And I know things. Secrets that must never be told. Knowledge that must never be spoken. Knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze.

So come on, then. Take it! Take it all, baby! Have it! You have it all!

NARVIN: Well Romana, I hate to say I told you so-

ROMANA: Please feel free not to in that case.

NARVIN: She is a very powerful woman. I seem to surround myself with them these days.

LEELA: This is wrong. Is Narvin untrustworthy? Often. A coward? I know of none finer. But an assassin..? I cannot believe it.

LEELA: When we were in the Axis, things were clear. We were there to find a home; to save ourselves, if not our Gallifrey. But on that journey, I lost... everything. You were President on our Gallifrey; you are still a President now. For you, you have lost nothing.

ROMANA: Leela, wait! I'm only trying to do what's best for all of us. And you're wrong. I have lost a great deal. I have lost you.

VASTRA: Good evening. I'm a Lizard Woman from the Dawn of Time, and this is my wife.

JULIAN: I didn't want to hold you back. I know how much you respect Doctor Jensen, want to be like her. We all have our fears, our weaknessess. But you are the strongest willed person I know. You can beat this.

ALLISON: I can?

JULIAN: I love you. And I'll prove it to you.

ALLISON: What are you doing? Get up!

JULIAN: I saw what you wrote, in pastel pink lipstick across my wardrobe: why don't you love me enough?

ALLISON: What? I don't remember...

JULIAN: But you are good enough. Good enough for Jensen, good enough for me. Too good, in fact. But it won't stop me asking. If you'll have me, Allison Williams, will you marry me.

ALLISON: Julian!

JULIAN: If the answer's yes, I'm hoping you'll put the gun down.

RACHEL: This is a message for Sir Tobias Kinsella, from Doctor Rachel Jensen. This is the sound of me tearing up that contract you had me sign. You can take your copy of the contract and do the same. I have never met a man more scheming, calculating and controlling. In the execution of your duties, I find you to be false, wheedling, and manipulative. In short, an absolute--

TOBY: I don't think we need to hear any more of this part.

RACHEL: Counter-Measures has proved it has a purpose, but you can't tackle mysteries of this nature with a handful of squaddies and a couple of scientists on loan. This operation needs to be properly funded, properly resourced. We need our own HQ!

TOBY: We, Doctor Jensen?

ALLISON: Rachel?

RACHEL: If you can provide adequate facilities allowing me to continue my work on site, as it were...

TOBY: Ah, I think that can be arranged.

RACHEL: Then yes. Yes, I suppose it would be sensible for me to be involved on a more permanent basis.

ALLISON: Fantastic!

IAN: Welcome aboard, Rachel.

RACHEL: Someone or something is trying to contact us from whatever lies behind that threshold.

IAN: But what is it?

RACHEL: I don't know. Imagine a universe different from our own; so different all the usual laws of physics don't apply.

IAN: I'm trying, but the closest I'm getting is America.
