• Madame Vastra : When did this baby... begin?

  The Doctor : Oh, you mean...?

  Madame Vastra : Quite.

  The Doctor : Well how would I know? That's all humany private stuff. It just sort of goes on, they don't put up a balloon or anything!

  Madame Vastra : Could the child have begun on the TARDIS, in flight, in the Vortex?

  The Doctor : No! No! Impossible! It's all running about, sexy fish vampires, and blowing up stuff; and Rory wasn't even there at the beginning, then he was *dead*, then he didn't exist, then he was plastic, then I had to reboot the whole Universe-long story- so, technically, the first time they were on the TARDIS together in this version of reality was on their w...

  Madame Vastra : On their what?

  Dorium Maldovar : And yet they gave in so easily. Does this not bother anyone else?

  The Doctor : Amy, she worried the baby would have a "time head", she said that- that- that...

  Madame Vastra : Only you would ignore the instincts of a mother!

  Dorium Maldovar : Or the instincts of a coward! This is too easy; there's something wrong!

  The Doctor : Why even do it? Even if you could get your hands on a brand-new Time Lord, what for?

  Madame Vastra : A weapon?

  The Doctor : Why would a Time Lord be a weapon?

  Madame Vastra : Well...

  Madame Vastra : [exchanges glances with Dorian, sighs]  they've seen *you*.

  [pause] 

  The Doctor : Me?

  Madame Vastra : Mr. Maldovar, you are right, this was... *too* easy. We should get back to the others.

  The Doctor : [sits down, whispers]  Me?
