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: I thought that was non-diegetic.

— Fifteenth Doctor, The Devil’s Chord

THE TOYMAKER: Well, that’s alright, then!

— The Toymaker, The Giggle

DONNA: Was it me, or was Isaac Newton hot?

DOCTOR: He was, wasn't he? He was so hot. Oh! Is that who I am now?

DONNA: Well, it was never that far from the surface, mate. I always thought…

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.

HELEN: Does that mean the woman that captured me was working for them? For the Masters?

DOCTOR: Could be, maybe The Rani? He partnered with her once.

LIV: The Rani?

DOCTOR: Another old school friend of mine. Also evil.

LIV: What were they teaching you at your school?

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.

ROMANA: And not to put to fine a point on it, Chancellor, but as my second in command, you stand to gain the most from my death.

ALT NARVIN: Of course. But then, I assume that's why you married me. As your husband, I have nothing to gain from your death and everything to lose.

ROMANA: Oh, Romana...

ROMANA: I wonder what the odds are that every Narvin in the multiverse is power mad and unpleasant.

K9: I shall calculate.

ROMANA: Don't bother, K9. I'm pretty sure I already know the answer.

LEELA: I will not sit and let you sulk any longer.

ROMANA: Did you just say your presdient was sulking?

LEELA: You are not my president, Romana. I doubt you are anyone's president any longer.

NARVIN: Madame President.

ROMANA: Narvin, I am, as has been pointed out by our friend here, no longer entitled to be called your President. Just Romana will suffice.

NARVIN: You are still my President, my lady.

ROMANA: Ah, that's more like it. Narvin and Leela at each other's throats, just like the good old days. Well come on then. If I'm going to keep you two in check, I'll need to talk to K9 about exactly what it is we're letting ourselves in for.

NARVIN: That was your plan to get her out and about again? Insulting me?

LEELA: It worked, did it not? Besides, insulting you is one of the few remaining pleasures I enjoy. You would not deny me that, would you?

K9: Castellan K9, mistress.

ROMANA: Will you please deal with his delusions of grandeur, Leela?

LEELA: Castellan K9, as President of the High Council I relieve you of your command. From this moment, you will be only known as K9.

Reborn

DOCTOR: I was once a man with a masterplan. I’d seek out injustices, topple governments, all in the name of the greater good. I’d started doing the maths, you see…. This is how evil starts, with the belief that the ends justify the means. But once you start down that road, there’s no turning back. What if you can save a million lives, but you have to let ten people die, or a hundred, or a hundred thousand. Where do you stop?

— Eighth Doctor, The Resurrection of Mars

IANTO: I love you.

JACK: Don't. Ianto? Ianto. Ianto, stay with me. Ianto, stay with me, please. Stay with me. Stay with me, please.

IANTO: Hey. It was good, yeah?

JACK: Yeah.

IANTO: Don't forget me.

JACK: Never could.

IANTO: A thousand year's time you won't remember me.

JACK: Yes, I will. I promise. I will. Ianto. Ianto? Don't go. Don't leave me, please. Please don't.

JOHN: I think I'm starting to see what he likes about this place. She's beautiful, he's stunning.

GWEN: Don't you ever stop?

JOHN: What, five minutes to live and you want me to behave? Oh, that's gorgeous.

GWEN: That's a poodle.

JOHN: That's nice.

OWEN: You know, we never gave it a cool name.

TOSH: I thought we called it the Resurrection gauntlet.

OWEN: Cool name.

IANTO: What about the Risen Mitten? I think it's catchy.

ROMANA: My back looks like a pin cushion the number of times I've been stabbed in it.

— Romana II, Panacea

LEELA: I was so alone in the world of dreams when you left… The wildlands were dark and so quiet. I… I do not wish to be alone.

ROMANA: There will be a place for you with me. For always. Whatever face I wear.

Spirit

LEELA: Why did you shoot Narvin, K9? Not that I’m complaining.

K9: Pandora was only active by piggy-backing the brainwaves of an exceptionally intelligent Time Lord.

BRAXIATEL: Hence his lack of sleep. If Narvin had slept, Pandora’s power would have closed down. She must have accessed him ages ago.

ROMANA: Or, like me, it might be inherited, waiting for the right moment.

LEELA: I do not know which shocks me most, Romana. That you had a previous life, or that Narvin is considered one of the most intelligent Time Lords.

Lies

ROMANA: Oh, Wynter, what am I going to do with you?

WYNTER: Call me Soggy-Boggy like everyone else.

ROMANA: I beg your pardon?

WYNTER: Uh- nothing. Uh- Madam. Uh- Madam President. It was just a name they, um, called me. At the Academy. They thought I was wet.

ROMANA: Yes, I’m sure. Well, we all got unpleasant nicknames at the Academy. I got used to mine. Why didn’t you get used to Soggy-Boggy?

Lies

ROMANA: K9 is a vicious robot criminal from the fifth galaxy. Aren't you K9?

K9: Affirmative!

ROMANA: Oh come on. You need to be more assertive than that.

K9: Slaves will carry K9 unit into the capsule!

LEELA: Why do you make that funny voice K9?

K9: Now slave! Or I will have you atomized!

LEELA: I will kick your head off first!

LEELA: Oh... It is a game!

K9: Mistress.

LEELA: That is alright then!

Charley: I thought I'd lost so much. But I've adjusted now. I can be happy. That's better, surely?

Doctor: But Charley, you have lost a lot. You have lost everything. Your family, your friends. Charley, you will never see another of your kind. Never. You will never fall in love with a man, get married, have children. Hang on to your losses. They make you what you are. Even if we spend the rest of our lives here, and I'm rather afraid we will, don't let them take away that regret and that pain. All that identity. Don't settle for this existence when once you've tasted life, because you are Charley Pollard, and you deserve better than that.

DOCTOR: I didn't expect to care for you as much as I did. That was my mistake.

When it came to it, with the Web of Time hanging in the balance, having to make

a choice between you and the universe, I'd say hang the Web of Time, you're

more important. Let the universe rot. Charley, you're worth more than all that. I

sacrificed myself for you, to save your life. And I did it gladly. I thought I'd never

see you again. That it wouldn't matter so long as I knew you were safe.

CHARLEY: I don't understand. You're saying you did care for me, after all. That

you loved me.

DOCTOR: Of course I loved you! I killed myself for you, didn't I? Of course I

loved you. Of course I love you.

DOCTOR: Romana, this is Charley, one of my best ever friends. Charley, this is Romana, one of my best friends ever.

— Eighth Doctor, Neverland
