• Twelfth Doctor : [to the Masters]  No! No! When I say no, you turn back around!

  [catches up with them] 

  Twelfth Doctor : Hey! I'm going to be dead in a few hours, so before I go, let's have this out, you and me, once and for all. Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because, because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do, because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind. It's just that. Just kind. If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some of them might live. Maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey, you know, maybe there's no point in any of this at all, but it's the best I can do, so I'm going to do it. And I will stand here doing it till it kills me. You're going to die too, some day. How will that be? Have you thought about it? What would you die for? Who I am is where I stand. Where I stand, is where I fall. Stand with me. These people are terrified. Maybe we can help, a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind?

• Twelfth Doctor : Like sewage, smart phones, and Donald Trump, some things are just inevitable.

• Twelfth Doctor : [to the Master]  Knock yourself out!

  [Missy whacks the Master unconscious] 

  Missy : Your wish is my command.

• [Missy and the Master are dancing a slow waltz together] 

  Twelfth Doctor : You two want to be alone now? Which in your case would mean more than it usually does.

• Twelfth Doctor : [to Missy and the Master]  You two should know by now, when you're winning and I'm in the room you're missing something.

• Twelfth Doctor : Sontarans, perverting the course of human history! I don't want to go! When the Doctor... when the Doctor was me! When The Doctor was me. It's starting. I'm regenerating! No, no, no, no, no, no!

• First Doctor : I will not change. I will not! No, no, no, the whole thing's ridiculous.

  Twelfth Doctor : Hello? Is someone there?

  First Doctor : Who is that?

  Twelfth Doctor : I'm the Doctor.

  First Doctor : The Doctor. Oh, I don't think so. No, dear me, no. You may be a doctor, but I am the Doctor. The original, you might say!

• Twelfth Doctor : I don't want to change again. NEVER AGAIN! I can't keep on being someone else! Whatever it is, I'm staying.

• Bill : [a little girl enters the barn carrying something]  Is that it?

  [Alit puts down something covered in a rough cloth] 

  Bill : I really wouldn't harm you, you know.

  Alit : I know

  [But she still backs away as Bill steps forward and picks it up, then uncovers it and turns it over. It is a mirror, and her reflection reveals that she is really still Cyber-Bill] 

  Cyber-Bill: : That is not me.

  Alit : I'm sorry.

  Cyber-Bill: : I am Bill Potts.

  Alit : I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

  [She attempts to run out of the barn, but runs into the Doctor as he is entering the barn] 

  Twelfth Doctor : Hey, hey, hey, hey!

  [Cyber-Bill puts down the mirror] 

  Twelfth Doctor : Hello, Bill Pott.s

  Cyber-Bill: : Doc-tor.

  Alit : I'm sorry. I gave her a mirror.

  Twelfth Doctor : Oh no, don't be sorry. You were being kind. Nothing wrong with kind. Jelly baby?

  Alit : Thank you.

  Twelfth Doctor : You're welcome.

  Alit : Bye.

  Twelfth Doctor : Toodle-oo

  [Alit leaves and closes the barn door behind her. We see Bill as her human self again. The Doctor walks towards Bill, but has a bit of a limp] 

  Bill : What was that, in the mirror?

  Twelfth Doctor : Er, a Cyberman.

  Bill : What's a Cyberman?

  Twelfth Doctor : A technologically augmented human being, designed to survive in a hostile environment. Perfectly sound idea. Unfortunately all they want to do is to turn everyone else into Cybermen too. They go viral.

  Bill : Why?

  Twelfth Doctor : They consider themselves to be an improvement, an upgrade.

  Bill : No. Why do I see a Cyberman in the mirror?

  [Long pause] 

  Twelfth Doctor : What do you remember?

  Bill : There's quite a lot, you know? I was down there for ten years.

  Twelfth Doctor : And then one day, they took you to the Conversion Theatre. Do you remember that?

  Bill : No. Bit's of it. You turned up.

  Twelfth Doctor : Do you remember what they did to you?

  Bill : Nothing. Look at me, I'm fine. I'm fine!

  [But as she touches her forehead, she sees a Cyber-hand] 

  Twelfth Doctor : You are so strong. You're amazing. Your mind has rebelled against the programming. It's built a wall around itself. A castle made of you, and you are standing on the battlements, saying no. No, not me.

  Bill : What are you talking about?

  Twelfth Doctor : All that time, living under the Monks, you learned to hang on to yourself.

  Bill : But I'm, I'm fine. Look at me!

  Twelfth Doctor : Bill, what you see is not you. Your mind is acting like a perception filter. You still see yourself as you used to be.

  Bill : Used to be?

  Twelfth Doctor : It won't last forever.

  Bill : What do you mean, used to be?

  [She advances, he retreats. Then she sees her Cyberman shadow cast on the wall] 

  Twelfth Doctor : Bill, I'm sorry, but you can't be angry any more. A temper is a luxury you can no longer...

  Bill : Why can't I? Why can't I be angry?

  Bill : Bill, please!

  Cyber-Bill: : You left me alone for ten...

  Bill : ...years! Don't tell me I can't be angry!

  [Her helmet weapon blasts the barn door to firewood. The children scream] 

• The Master : Doctor. Right! While you've been here chatting up Robo-Mop, me and... me have been busy. We've found it.

  The Master : [to Bill, in "Razor's" voice]  "Oh, hello, my dear. My God, you were so boring for all those years." But it was worth every day of it. For this.

  Twelfth Doctor : Bill, don't let him upset you.

  The Master : Though, didn't you used to be a woman? I'm gonna be a woman, fairly soon. Any tips? Or maybe... I don't know, old bras?

  Bill : I am not upset.

  The Master : [disappointed]  Oh. Well, doesn't that take all the fun out of cruelty? Might as well rile a fridge. Come on, this way.

• The Master : Is the future going to be all girl?

  Twelfth Doctor : Well can only hope.
