Clara
- Clara: [Clara enters the TARDIS, for the first time] It's smaller on the outside.
- The Doctor: Okay, that is a first.
- Clara: After you. I'm wearing a dress. Eyes front, soldier.
- The Doctor: My eyes are always front.
- Clara: [the Doctor climbs up the ladder] Mine aren't.
- The Doctor: Stop it!
- Clara: No.
- 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]
- Clara: Is there a kitchen?
- The Doctor: Another first.
- Clara: I don't know why I asked that. It's just... I like making soufflés.
- The Doctor: [pauses] Soufflés?
- Clara: [Clara repeats lines from a previous encounter with The Doctor] Run. Run, you clever boy, and remember.
- Madame Vastra: You can't help yourself. It's the same story every time, and it always begins with the same two words.
- The Doctor: She'll never be able to find me again. She doesn't even have the name Doctor. What two words?
- [Clara suddenly pokes her head through the roof of the hansom cab]
- Clara: Doctor? Doctor who?
- [last lines]
- Clara's Friend: [in a graveyard in the present] Where are you going?
- Clara: Short cut.
- Clara's Friend: Through here? I hate this place! Don't you think it's creepy?
- Clara: [leaning on Clara Oswin Oswald's tombstone] Nah. I don't believe in ghosts.
- The Doctor: [inside the Tardis] Clara... Oswin... Oswald...
- [examines Clara's picture on the monitor]
- The Doctor: Watch me run.
