• The Doctor : Go! and take Arthur!

  Rose Tyler : Arthur?

  The Doctor : Fine name for a horse.

  Rose Tyler : No you can't keep the horse.

  The Doctor : Why not? I let you keep Mickey! Now go!

• Mickey Smith : So that Doctor, eh?

  Rose Tyler : I don't know what you're talking about.

  Mickey Smith : Well, Madame de Pompadour, Sarah Jane Smith, Cleopatra.

  Rose Tyler : Oh, Cleopatra! He mentioned her once.

  Mickey Smith : Yeah, but he called her Cleo.

• Rose Tyler : Who is she?

  The Doctor : Jeanne-Antionette Poisson, known to her friends as Reinette. One of the most accomplished women who ever lived.

  Rose Tyler : Has she got plans on being the queen, then?

  The Doctor : No, he's already got a queen. She's got plans on being his mistress.

  Rose Tyler : Oh, I get it. Camilla!

• Rose Tyler : [about Madame De Pompadour]  The Queen must've loved her.

  The Doctor : Oh, she did. They got on very well.

  Mickey Smith : The King's wife and the King's girlfriend?

  The Doctor : France. It's a different planet.

• Mickey Smith : It's a spaceship! Brilliant, I got a spaceship on my first go!

  Rose Tyler : Looks kind of abandoned. Anyone on board?

  The Doctor : Nah, nothing here. Well, nothing dangerous. Well, not that dangerous. Know what, I'll just have a quick scan... in case there's anything dangerous.

• Rose Tyler : [the Doctor enters, singing "I Could Have Danced All Night", seemingly drunk]  Oh, look what the cat dragged in, the oncoming storm.

  The Doctor : Oh, you sound just like your mother.

  Rose Tyler : What have you been doing, where've you been?

  The Doctor : Well, among other things, I *think* I just invented the banana daiquiri a couple of centuries early. Do you know they'd never seen a banana before? Always take a banana to a party, Rose, bananas are good.

  [to the droid] 

  The Doctor : Oh, brilliant, it's you! You're my favorite, you are, you are the best, you know why? Cause you're so thick! You're Mr. Thick Thick Thickety Thick-face from Thick-town, Thickania. And so's your dad!

• Rose Tyler : No! You're not keeping the horse!

  The Doctor : Why not? I let you keep Mickey!

• The Doctor : What was it you said the flight deck smelled of?

  Rose Tyler : Cooking.

  The Doctor : Human flesh plus heat. Barbecue.

• Rose Tyler : You all right?

  The Doctor : I'm always all right.

• [32-year-old Reinette barges past Rose and Mickey behind the tapestry and finds herself on the spaceship at the Dagmar Cluster, two and a half galaxies away from Earth, in the 51st Century, roughly 3300 years in her future] 

  Reinette Poisson : This is his world.

  [the members of the royal court start screaming somewhere in the distance] 

  Reinette Poisson : What was that?

  Mickey Smith : [hesitates, then to Rose]  The time window. The Doctor fixed an audio link.

  Reinette Poisson : Those screams... Is that my future?

  Rose Tyler : Yeah, I'm sorry.

  Reinette Poisson : Then I must take the slower path.

  Madame Du Pompadour : [echoing in the halls]  Are you there? Can you hear me? I need you, now! You promised! The clock on the mantel is broken!

  Reinette Poisson : [fearful]  Th- that's my voice.

  Madame Du Pompadour : It is time!

  Mickey Smith : Rose, come on, we gotta go. There's- there's a problem.

  Rose Tyler : Give me a moment.

  [Mickey hurries down the corridor of the ship] 

  Rose Tyler : Are you okay?

  Reinette Poisson : No, I'm very afraid. But you and I both know, don't we Rose? The Doctor is worth the monsters.

  [Reinette returns through the time window behind the tapestry to her own time] 

  Madame Du Pompadour : [echoing]  Doctor! Doctor!

  [in the ballroom, the clockwork service droids corner the royal court] 

  Madame Du Pompadour : [37 years old, speaking into her fireplace]  Doctor!

  King Louis : We must go! No one is coming to help us!

  [a clockwork man appproaches and stands in the doorway. Madame Du Pompadour stands, turns, and gasps as memories flash in her mind of him in her bedroom in 1727 as 6-years-old Reinette. Two more costumed droids arrive, flanking him, completely blocking her and King Louis XV's egress] 

  Clockwork Man : You are complete. You will come.

• Rose Tyler : Are you okay?

  Reinette Poisson : No, I'm not. But you and I both know, don't we, Rose, that the Doctor is worth the monsters.

• The Doctor : Let me tell you, the French know how to throw a party!

  Rose Tyler : Where have you been?

  The Doctor : I think I just invented the banana daquiri a couple centuries early... Always take a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good.

• Rose Tyler : He will be there when you need him. That's the way it gotta be.

  Madame Du Pompadour : It is the way that has always been. The monster and the doctor. It seems you cannot have one without the other.

• The Doctor : Rose, take Arthur, follow it. Don't approach it, just go, go, go!

  Rose Tyler : Arthur?

  The Doctor : Good name for a horse.

  Rose Tyler : No, you're not keeping the horse.

  The Doctor : I let you keep Mickey!

• The Doctor : [wandering in singing, glass in hand]  I could have *spread my wings* and done a thou-have you *met* the French? My... *GOD*, they know how to party.

  Rose Tyler : Oh, look what the cat dragged in, the Oncoming Storm.

  The Doctor : Ooh, you sound just like your mother.

  Rose Tyler : What have you been doing all this time? Where've you *been*?

  The Doctor : Well, among other things, I *think* I might have just invented the banana daiquiri a few centuries early. Do you know, they'd never even seen a banana before? Always take a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good.

  [turning to the robot] 

  The Doctor : Oh, it's you! You're my favorite, you are. You know why? Cause you're so... thick! You're Mr. Thick Thick Thickety Thickface from Thicktown, Thickania.

  [turns to walk away] 

  The Doctor : And so's your dad!

  The Doctor : [gives Rose a look as if to say 'I showed him, didn't I?' or 'How do you like them apples?'] 

• Rose Tyler : Mickey Smith, meet the universe. See anything you like?

• The Doctor : [drunk]  Have you met the French? My God they know how to party!

  Rose Tyler : Oh look at what the cat dragged in, the oncoming storm.

  The Doctor : You sound just like your mother.

  Rose Tyler : What have you been doing? Where have you been?

  The Doctor : Well, among other things, I *think* I may have just invented the banana daiquiri a few centuries early.
