You see, Doc, the thing about grief is it needs time, and… Well, I don’t want to sit around my house waiting for it to go away, 'cause that house is full of Grace, and it makes it so much harder. But, um, being with you and seeing all these things… it really helps.

A Stenza warrior wears his conquests. You may tell your children you were once privileged to encounter Tzim-Sha of the Stenza.
(confused) Tim Shaw?
Tzim-Sha.
Tim Shaw?
Tzim-Sha! Soon to be leader of the Stenza warrior race, conquerors of the Nine Systems.
When you say soon to be leader, what are you now, the office junior?
Eh? No, don't wind him up.
[lending her sunglasses to Graham] Like an old pair of mine. I say mine — I can’t remember who I borrowed them off now. It was either Audrey Hepburn or Pythagoras.
Eh? Pythagoras never wore shades.
Obviously you never saw him with a hangover.
I don’t need other people.
We all need other people, mate.
We’re all alone. That’s how we start, and end, and its the natural state of all points in between.
Were you born that miserable, or did you have to work at it?
You know, when I was four my mum told me to climb a tree. She made me climb until I was too scared to climb any higher. Then she told me to jump into her arms. “Don’t worry,” she said. “I’m your mum. I’m here for you. I’ll catch you.” So I jumped. And she moved out of the way.
What?
Sorry, did you say your mum did this to you?
Smashed into the ground, smashed this arm, shattered that ankle. And she stood over me and she said, “Now you’ve learned. You can never trust anyone in this life.”
That is messed up.
Best thing she ever did for me. I loved my mum.
[sarcastically] Yeah, she sounds terrific.
Your mum was wrong. We’re stronger together.
[After finding out the TARDIS has taken them to 1955 Montgomery, Alabama]
1955? Elvis, can we see Elvis?
I think he’s in New York this week. I could give him a call.
You haven’t got Elvis’s phone number.
Don’t ever tell anyone I lent him a mobile phone.
[While opening a mysterious suitcase]
Is anyone excited? 'Cause I'm really excited.
You won't be if it's a bomb.
Don't kill the vibe, Graham.
[While brainstorming, the Doctor begins to write on a motel wall with a pen.]
Oi, whoah, whoah, whoah! What are you doing? That is vandalism. We’ll have to pay for that!
Don’t worry, special pen.
No! Pack it in. You ain’t Banksy.
Or am I?
[The Doctor quickly uses her “special pen” to get rid of the writing on the motel wall before a police officer enters the room.]
Banksy doesn’t have one of those… Or have I?
Ooh, fun fact: If you weave dragline spider silk as thick as a pencil, it’s strong enough to stop a plane in flight.
You're kidding!
I'm not! I’ve had to deal with it. Well, me and Amelia Earhart. You'd like her, she’s a right laugh.
I need oil, water, tree bark, a saucepan, nine containers, an old newspaper, a touch of ox spit, a chicken poo, and a biscuit.
Bagsy not chicken poo!
Why a biscuit?
I love biscuits!
Did you hear the noises in the valley in the night?
The violence is getting closer
Who's doing this stuff?
Prem Ordinary people who've lived here all their lives, whipped into a frenzy to be part of a mob. There's nothing worse than when ordinary people lose their minds. We've lived together for decades, Hindu, Muslim and Sikh, and now we're being told that our differences are more important than what unites us. Like we learned nothing in the war. I don't know how we protect people when hatred's coming from all sides.
Well, all we can strive to be... is good men. And you, Prem, are a good man.
[The TARDIS is in the middle of traveling through space.]
Hold on!
We are holding on!
Well, hold on tighter!
Can you do something about this turbulence?
I'm avoiding something. Aargh; can't get the hang of these new systems!
What is it?
No. It's still coming for us. [She takes a closer look.] Oh. It's a teleport pulse!
[A Kerblam delivery robot materializes into the TARDIS, holding a package.]
Delivery for the Doctor.
Ha! It's the Kerblam Man!
It's the what?
The Kerblam Man!
You're just making sounds now!
[Delivery Robot hands the package to the Doctor.]
Delivery fulfilled. And remember, if you want it, Kerblam it!
Space postman. I've seen it all now!
[A witch trial is taking place.]
We've gotta do something, Doctor.
The Doc said don't interfere. You said don't interfere, right?
[The Doctor jumps into the river to try to save the woman being ducked.]
So much for not interfering.
Nice Fjord! That is a fjord innit? Got your bearings yet, doc?
[Tasting soil] Norway. Definitely Norway. One of the frilly bits at the top.
D'you think it's safe?
I doubt it. It's a juddering dimensional portal in a mirror in a Norwegian bedroom.
