Quotes
-
Clara : [Clara enters the TARDIS, for the first time] It's smaller on the outside.
The Doctor : Okay, that is a first.
-
Jenny : Madame Vastra will ask you questions. You will confine yourself to single word responses. One word only. Do you understand?
Clara : Why?
Madame Vastra : Truth is singular. Lies are words, words, and words. You met the Doctor, didn't you?
Clara : Yes.
Madame Vastra : And, now, you've come looking for him again. Why?
Jenny : [as Clara hesitates] Take your time. One word only.
Clara : Curiosity.
Madame Vastra : About?
Clara : Snow.
Madame Vastra : And about him?
Clara : Yes.
Madame Vastra : What do you want from him?
Clara : Help.
Madame Vastra : Why?
Clara : Danger.
Madame Vastra : Why would he help *you*?
Clara : [taken aback] Kindness.
[Jenny looks to Madame Vastra]
Madame Vastra : The Doctor is not kind.
Clara : No?
Madame Vastra : No. The Doctor doesn't help people. Not anyone, not ever. He stands *above* this world and doesn't interfere in the affairs of its inhabitants. He is not your salvation, nor your protector. Do you understand what I am saying to you?
Clara : Words.
[Madame Vastra is now taken aback, her lie called out. Jenny looks proudly at Clara]
Madame Vastra : He was... different, once. A long time ago. Kind, yes. A hero, even. The saver of worlds. But he suffered losses that hurt him. Now, he prefers isolation to the possibility of pain's return. Kindly choose a word to indicate your understanding of this.
Clara : Man.
[Madame Vastra looks to Jenny, who imperceptibly but enthusiastically nods rapidly]
-
Clara : Is there a kitchen?
The Doctor : Another first.
Clara : I don't know why I asked that. It's just... I like making soufflés.
The Doctor : [pauses] Soufflés?
-
Clara : [Clara repeats lines from a previous encounter with The Doctor] Run. Run, you clever boy, and remember.
-
Clara : After you. I'm wearing a dress. Eyes front, soldier.
The Doctor : My eyes are always front.
Clara : [the Doctor climbs up the ladder] Mine aren't.
The Doctor : Stop it!
Clara : No.
-
Madame Vastra : You can't help yourself. It's the same story every time, and it always begins with the same two words.
The Doctor : She'll never be able to find me again. She doesn't even have the name Doctor. What two words?
[Clara suddenly pokes her head through the roof of the hansom cab]
Clara : Doctor? Doctor who?
-
[last lines]
Clara's Friend : [in a graveyard in the present] Where are you going?
Clara : Short cut.
Clara's Friend : Through here? I hate this place! Don't you think it's creepy?
Clara : [leaning on Clara Oswin Oswald's tombstone] Nah. I don't believe in ghosts.
The Doctor : [inside the Tardis] Clara... Oswin... Oswald...
[examines Clara's picture on the monitor]
The Doctor : Watch me run.
