Quotes 

• Clara : Run. Run, you clever boy. And remember me.

• The Doctor : Where are they?

  Clara : At the cinema.

  The Doctor : The little... Daleks.

• Clara : Who's that?

  The Doctor : Never mind, let's get back.

  Clara : But who is he?

  The Doctor : He's me. There's only me here, that's the point. Now let's get back.

  Clara : But I never saw that one. I saw all of you. Eleven faces all of them you. You're the Eleventh Doctor.

  The Doctor : I said he was me, I never said he was the Doctor.

  Clara : I don't understand.

  The Doctor : My name, my real name. That is not the point. The name I chose is the Doctor. The name you choose it's like, it's like a promise you make. He's the one who broke the promise.

• Clara : Well how about that, I'm soufflé girl after all.

• Clara : [voice-over]  I don't know where I am.

  The Doctor : Clara!

  Clara : [voice-over]  I just know I'm running. Sometimes it's like I've lived a thousand lives in a thousand places. I'm born, I live, I die. And always there's the Doctor. Always I'm running to save the Doctor again and again and again. And he hardly ever hears me. But I've always been there.

  Clara : [speaking to the first Doctor]  Doctor.

  The Doctor : Yes? What is it? What do you want.

  Clara : [voice-over]  Right from the very beginning

  Clara : [to the first Doctor]  Sorry. But you were about to make a very big mistake. Don't steal that one; steal this one. The navigation system's knackered, but you'll have much more fun.

  Clara : [voice-over]  Right from the day he started running.

• Angie : Oh no! You're gonna try making a soufflé again, aren't you?

  Clara : My mum's soufflé. Yeah. Although this time I will get it right. This time I will be "Soufflé Girl".

  Artie : How can it be your mum's soufflé if you're making it?

  Clara : Because, Artie, it's like my mum always said: The soufflé isn't the soufflé. The soufflé is the recipe.

  Angie : Was your mum deep on puddings?

  Clara : She was a great woman.

• The Doctor : River?

  [examines a tombstone with "River Song" on it] 

  The Doctor : That can't be right.

  Clara : No, it can't. She's not dead.

  The Doctor : Oh, she's dead, I'm afraid. She's been dead for a very long time.

  River Song : Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that. Never the right time.

• Vastra : [River sees Clara]  Ah, perhaps you two haven't met. This is the Doctor's companion.

  [River looks back at Vastra] 

  Vastra : That is, his current travelling assistant.

  Clara : Assistant?

  Strax : [to Vastra]  Have you gone a darker green?

• River Song : The Doctor might have mentioned me?

  Clara : Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, of course he has. Professor Song. Sorry, it's just that I never realized you were a woman.

  Strax : Well, neither did I.

• The Doctor : Okay, so that's where I end up.

  [looking down at Trenzalore from the Tardis door] 

  The Doctor : I always thought maybe I'd retire, take up watercolours or beekeeping or something. Apparently not.

  Clara : So, how do we get down there? Jump?

  The Doctor : Don't be silly! We fall.

• Clara : So who was she? The lady with the funny name and the space hair.

  The Doctor : An old... friend of mine.

  Clara : What, like an ex?

  The Doctor : Yes, an ex.

• The Doctor : It won't hurt a bit.

  Clara : Ow!

  The Doctor : I lied.
