MESSENGER: Rassilon, the dying Pythia cursed
Gallifrey. There will be no more children. The world is
barren and doomed!
RASSILON: D’oh!
SHADOWY MAN:
Told you so. Now about the shortage of housing...
CHRIS: Sorry, Roz. We shouldn’t have done that. But I
love you.
ROZ: Tough! I’m leading an attack on that
GTO station on top of that hill. (RUNS OFF WAVING GUN)
THE DOCTOR: Chris, it’s Roz.
CHRIS: Is
she...?
THE DOCTOR: She went up the hill into
history.
CHRIS: (BITES HIS KNUCKLES) I’m trying to
cope.
DOROTHEE (née ACE): These days I live in 19th century
Paris. But I’ve got this time-travelling motor bike, so
I do all my shopping at Marks and Spencers.
CHRIS: The card says "To Leela. For your
wedding."
(THE DOCTOR SHAKES THE GIFT-WRAPPED BOX. IT
RATTLES OMINOUSLY)
THE DOCTOR: It was for her
underwear drawer. I must pop it in to Gallifrey
sometime.
CHRIS: It's past its sell-by date.
THE
DOCTOR: Gallifrey or the lingerie? (SLAPS POCKETS)
Bother! I don't have a receipt for either of them.
GOLD USHER: Do you swear by the Rod of Rassilon to
uphold the holy office of President of the High Council
of Gallifrey?
ROMANA: Hang on. (ADJUSTS MATRIX AT
JAUNTY ANGLE) I swear.
(TIME LORDS LOOK SUITABLY
UNCOMFORTABLE.)
THE DOCTOR: Chris, I have a presentiment of doom. I
can’t see beyond my seventh self. Eighth Man
Bound.
CHRIS: I’m still trying to cope.
