Ace and Doctor in “Ghost Light”

Ace

It's true isn't it. This is the house I told you about.

You were thirteen. You climbed over the wall for a dare.

Ace

That's your surprise isn't it? Bringing me back here.

Remind me what it was that you sensed when you entered this deserted house. An aura of intense evil?

Ace

Don't you have things you hate?

I can't stand burnt toast. I loathe bus stations. Terrible places. Full of lost luggage and lost souls.

Ace

I told you I never wanted to come back here again.

And then there's unrequited love. And tyranny. And cruelty.

Ace

Too right!

We all have a universe of our own terrors to face.

Ace

I face mine on my own terms.
