Quotes Clara: Hello? Hello?
The Doctor: [off screen, on the phone] It's me.
Clara: Yes, it's you. Who's this?
The Doctor: [off screen, on the phone] It's me, Clara. The Doctor.
Clara: What do you mean, the Doctor?
The Doctor: [standing outside the TARDIS, in Trenzalore] I'm phoning you from Trenzalore.
Clara: I don't...
The Doctor: From before I changed. I mean it's all still to happen for me. It's coming. Oh, it's a-coming. Not long now. I can feel it.
Clara: Why? Why would you do this?
The Doctor: Because I think it's going to be a whopper, and I think you might be scared. And however scared you are, Clara, the man you are with right now, the man I hope you are with, believe me, he is more scared than anything you can imagine right now and he, he needs you.
The Doctor: So who is it?
The Doctor: Is that the Doctor?
The Doctor: Is that the Doctor?
Clara: Yes.
The Doctor: He sounds old. Please tell me I didn't get old. Anything but old. I was young. Oh, is he grey?
Clara: Yes.
The Doctor: Clara, please, hey, for me, help him. Go on. And don't be afraid. Goodbye, Clara. Miss ya.
