- Donna Noble: A great big empire, built on slavery...
- The Doctor: It's not so different from your time.
- Donna Noble: Oy! I haven't got slaves!
- The Doctor: Who d'you think made your clothes?
- Donna Noble: Is that why you travel round with a human at your side? It's not so you can show them the wonders of the universe, it's so you can take cheap shots?
- The Doctor: Sorry.
- Donna Noble: Well, don't.
- Donna Noble: Rocket. Blimey, a real proper rocket. Now that's what I call a spaceship.
- [to the Doctor]
- Donna Noble: You've got a box, he's got a Ferrari.
- [looking at a map of the 2nd Great and Bountiful Human Empire and it's Galaxies]
- Donna Noble: But look at us. We're everywhere. Is that good or bad though? Are we like explorers, or more like a virus?
- The Doctor: Sometimes I wonder.
- Donna Noble: [on Mr. Halpern] They... turned him into an Ood.
- The Doctor: Yup.
- Donna Noble: He's an Ood.
- The Doctor: I noticed.
- Donna Noble: It's weird... but... being with you, I can't tell what's right and what's wrong anymore.
- The Doctor: It's better that way. People who know for certain tend to be like Mr. Halpen.
- The Doctor: [standing in a container full of Ood] Ood, tell me. Does 'the Circle' mean anything to you?
- The Ood: [all the translators light up at once] The Circle must be broken.
- Donna Noble: [breathy] Whoa, that is creepy.
- The Doctor: But what is it? What is the Circle?
- The Ood: The Circle must be broken!
- The Doctor: Why?
- The Ood: So that we can sing!
- Advert Announcer: The Ood. They came from a distant world. They voyaged across the stars. All with one purpose...
- The Ood: [cuts to an Ood holding out a cup of tea] Do you take milk and sugar?
- Solana Mercurio: I'd now like to point out a new innovation from Ood Operations. We've introduced a variety package with the Ood Translator Ball. You can now have the Standard Setting.
- [to Ood 1]
- Solana Mercurio: How are you today, Ood?
- Ood #1: [ordinary Ood voice] I'm perfectly well, thank you.
- Solana Mercurio: Or perhaps, after a stressful day, a little something for the gentlemen.
- [to Ood 2]
- Solana Mercurio: And how are you, Ood?
- Ood #2: [husky female voice] All the better for seeing you.
- Solana Mercurio: And the comedy classic.
- [to Ood 3]
- Solana Mercurio: Ood, you've dropped something.
- Ood #3: [in the voice of Homer Simpson] D'oh!
- Donna Noble: [taps Ood to get its attention] Excuse me, are you all like this?
- Alien Voices: [as Ood] I do not understand, miss.
- Donna Noble: [agitated] Why do you say "miss?" Do I look single?
- The Doctor: Back to the point...
- Donna Noble: Right... sorry...
- Donna Noble: [the Doctor and Donna have been handcuffed and left to die] Well, do something! You're the one with all the tricks... and you must've met Houdini!
- The Doctor: [straining] Ugh... These are really good handcuffs...
- Donna Noble: [sarcastically] Well, I'm glad of that. At least we've got quality!
- Donna Noble: [on Ood delta 50] He sang as he was dying.
- The Doctor: His eyes turned red.
- Donna Noble: What's that mean?
- The Doctor: Trouble.
- Solana Mercurio: [addressing the Doctor and Donna] Doctor Noble, Mrs. Noble, if you'd like to come with me.
- The Doctor: [rapid fire with Donna's lines] Oh, no. No, no, no. We're not married.
- Donna Noble: *So* not married.
- The Doctor: Never.
- Donna Noble: Never, ever!
- Solana Mercurio: [politely] Of course.
- Mr Bartle: I said military figures. That's the domestic file. Get me the military.
- The Ood: [the Ood slams the file on the desk. We see it's having an episode of Red Eye] That file is irrelevant, sir.
- Mr Bartle: Oh, and why is that?
- The Ood: [takes out its translation sphere and electrocutes Mr. Bartle with it] Have a nice day.
- The Doctor: That's there song.
- Donna Noble: I can't hear it.
- The Doctor: Do you want to?
- Donna Noble: Yeah.
- The Doctor: It's the song of captivity.
- Donna Noble: Let me hear it.
- The Doctor: Face me.
- [the Doctor link his mind with Donna's]
- The Doctor: Open your mind, listen. Hear it Donna. Hear the music.
- [the Song of Captivity plays]
- Donna Noble: [Crying] Take it away!
- The Doctor: You sure?
- Donna Noble: I can't bear it!
- [the doctor takes it away]
- Donna Noble: I'm sorry.
- The Doctor: It's okay.
- Donna Noble: But you can still hear it.
- The Doctor: All the time
- Mr Halpen: The Ood were nothing without us. Just Animals, roaming around on the ice
- The Doctor: That's because you can't hear them.
- Mr Halpen: They welcomed it. It's not as if they put up a fight.
- Donna Noble: You idiot. They're born with their brains in their hands, don't you see, that makes them peaceful. They've got to be, 'cause a creature like that would have to trust anyone it meets.
- The Doctor: Ooh, nice one.
- Donna Noble: Thank you.
- Donna Noble: [the Ood show the Doctor and Donna their Brain] Is that...
- The Doctor: It's a Brain. A Hind Brain. The Ood are born with a secondary Brain. Like the Amygdala in Humans, it processes Memory and Emotions. You get rid of that, you wouldn't be Donna anymore, you'd be... well, like an Ood, a processed Ood.
- Donna Noble: So the company... cuts off their brains.
- The Doctor: And they stitch on the translator.
- Donna Noble: Like a Lobotomy. I spent all that time looking for you doctor because I thought it would be so wonderful out here. I wanna go home.
