Rani and Clyde in “Unfinished Business”

Rani

What if I'd've told them, Clyde? Maybe none of this would have happened!

Clyde

Maybe it wouldn't have made any difference. Look, I know Sarah Jane doesn't believe in fate, but I reckon that Time and the Universe... They're not random. Everything's sort of tied together by these invisible strings. Like your mum joining BURPSS, or Ocean Waters having that disk thing.

Rani

You mean if something's gonna happen, it's gonna happen?

Clyde

Yeah. [Rani and Clyde are holding hands; they both notice and Clyde lets go, moving away] Well... s-some things, anyway. But we're going to save your mum now, so if it's the Universe against Clyde Langer, then the Universe had better bring some mates! [cringes]
