Quotes 

• William Shakespeare : 'Close up this din of hateful dire decay / Decomposition of your witches' plot! / You thieve my brains, consider me your toy / My doting doctor tells me I am not!'

  Lilith : No! Words of power!

  William Shakespeare : 'Foul Carrionite specters, cease your show / Between the points... '

  [he looks to The Doctor for help] 

  The Doctor : 761390!

  William Shakespeare : '761390! / Banished like a tinker's cuss / I say to thee... '

  [he again looks to The Doctor] 

  The Doctor : Uh...

  [he looks to Martha] 

  Martha Jones : Expelliarmus!

  The Doctor : Expelliarmus!

  William Shakespeare : 'Expelliarmus!'

  The Doctor : Good old JK!

• Lilith : But your heart grows cold / The north wind blows / And carries down the distant... Rose?

  The Doctor : Oooh, big mistake! Because that name keeps me fighting!

• [casts a power-of-a-name spell on Martha as a demonstration] 

  Lilith : I gaze upon this bag of bones / And now I name thee, *Martha* Jones!

• [Martha has collapsed after being named] 

  Lilith : Only sleeping, alas. It's curious. Name has less impact. She's somehow out of her time. As for you, sir Doctor...

  [she pauses, at a loss] 

  Lilith : Fascinating. There is no name. Why would a man hide his title in such despair- oh, but look: there's still one word with the power of the days.

• The Doctor : The Carrionites vanished. Where did you go?

  Lilith : The Eternals found the right word to banish us into deep darkness.

  The Doctor : Then how did you escape?

  Lilith : New words, new and glittering, from a mind like no other.

  The Doctor : Shakespeare.

• Lilith : [explaining the Carrionites plan]  And from this world we will lead the universe back into the old ways of blood and magic.

  The Doctor : [walks up to her]  Hmm, busy schedule. But first you've gotta get past me.

  Lilith : Oh, that should be a pleasure.

  [leans in seductively] 

  Lilith : Considering my enemy has such a handsome shape.

  The Doctor : Now that's one form of magic that's definitely not gonna work on me.

  Lilith : Oh, we'll see.

  [cuts a piece of hair off of him] 

  The Doctor : What's that for? What did you do?

  Lilith : Souvenir.

• The Doctor : [finds Lilith floating outside the window]  Well that's just cheating.

  Lilith : Behold, Doctor. Men to Carrionites are nothing but

  [whips out a doll] 

  Lilith : puppets.

  The Doctor : Now you might call that magic, but I call that a DNA replication module.

  Lilith : What use is your science now?

  [stabs the doll] 

  The Doctor : Aah!

  [collapses while Lilith flies off laughing] 

• Doomfinger : [having been named by the Doctor]  He knows us! He spoke our name.

  Lilith : Then he will know death. He will perish at my hand.

  [the bells ring] 

  Lilith : My mothers, the time approaches. You must away to the Globe. Go, I will join you.

  [Doomfinger and Bloodtide leave] 

  Lilith : As soon as this Doctor screams his last.
