Quotes 

• Strax : The heart is a relatively simple thing.

  Vastra : I have not found it to be so.

• Clarence : In the babble of the world, there are whispers, if you know how to listen. The Doctor has a secret, you know.

  Vastra : He has many.

  Clarence : He has one he will take to the grave. And it is discovered.

• The Great Intelligence : It was a minor skirmish by the Doctor's blood-soaked standards. Not exactly the Time War, but enough to finish him. In the end, it was too much for the old man.

  Jenny : Blood-soaked?

  Vastra : The Doctor has been many things, but never blood-soaked.

  The Great Intelligence : Tell that to the leader of the Sycorax, or Solomon the trader, or the Cybermen, or the Daleks. The Doctor lives his life in darker hues, day upon day, and he will have other names before the end: Storm, the Beast, the Valeyard.

  Vastra : Even if any of this were true, which I take the liberty of doubting, how did you come by this information?

  The Great Intelligence : I am information.

  Jenny : You were a mind without a body when we last met.

  Vastra : And you were supposed to stay that way!

  The Great Intelligence : Alas, I did.

  [he strips off his face and another Whisper Man takes his place] 

  The Great Intelligence : As you can see.

• 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?

• Jenny : I should've locked up before we went into the trance.

  Vastra : Jenny, it doesn't matter.

  Jenny : Someone's broken in. Someone's with us. i can hear them.

  Vastra : Jenny, are you alright?

  Jenny : Sorry, Mum. So sorry. So sorry. So sorry. I think I've been murdered.
