Quotes 

  • Jenny : Madame Vastra will ask you questions. You will confine yourself to single word responses. One word only. Do you understand?

    Clara : Why?

    Madame Vastra : Truth is singular. Lies are words, words, and words. You met the Doctor, didn't you?

    Clara : Yes.

    Madame Vastra : And, now, you've come looking for him again. Why?

    Jenny : [as Clara hesitates]  Take your time. One word only.

    Clara : Curiosity.

    Madame Vastra : About?

    Clara : Snow.

    Madame Vastra : And about him?

    Clara : Yes.

    Madame Vastra : What do you want from him?

    Clara : Help.

    Madame Vastra : Why?

    Clara : Danger.

    Madame Vastra : Why would he help *you*?

    Clara : [taken aback]  Kindness.

    [Jenny looks to Madame Vastra] 

    Madame Vastra : The Doctor is not kind.

    Clara : No?

    Madame Vastra : No. The Doctor doesn't help people. Not anyone, not ever. He stands *above* this world and doesn't interfere in the affairs of its inhabitants. He is not your salvation, nor your protector. Do you understand what I am saying to you?

    Clara : Words.

    [Madame Vastra is now taken aback, her lie called out. Jenny looks proudly at Clara] 

    Madame Vastra : He was... different, once. A long time ago. Kind, yes. A hero, even. The saver of worlds. But he suffered losses that hurt him. Now, he prefers isolation to the possibility of pain's return. Kindly choose a word to indicate your understanding of this.

    Clara : Man.

    [Madame Vastra looks to Jenny, who imperceptibly but enthusiastically nods rapidly] 

  • Jenny : Now then, that's enough noise. We don't want to attract attention, do we?

    Clara : I'm looking for the Doctor. Do you know about him, the Doctor?

    Jenny : Doctor who?
