Quotes 

• Elton Pope : When you're a kid, they tell you it's all... grow up. Get a job. Get married. Get a house. Have a kid, and that's it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.

• [the Abzorbaloff is about to absorb Elton when the TARDIS appears in front of them] 

  The Doctor : [Exits the TARDIS and addresses Elton]  Someone wants a word with you.

  [Rose exits the TARDIS] 

  Rose Tyler : [annoyed]  You upset my mum.

  Elton Pope : [confused, nods at Abzorbaloff]  Great, big, absorbing creature from outer space and you're having a go at me?

  Rose Tyler : No one upsets my mum!

• Elton Pope : We forget because we must.

• [holding Ursula who turned to a floor tile with a face] 

  Elton Pope : It's a relationship... of sorts. But we manage. We've even got a bit of a love life.

  Ursula Blake : Oh, let's not go into that...

• [after presenting a photo of Jackie in his cell phone] 

  Elton Pope : I had to work very hard. She keeps everything very close to her chest.

  Ursula Blake : That's a hell of a chest.

• Elton Pope : Turns out I've had the most terrible things happen. And the most brilliant things. And sometimes, well, I can't tell the difference. They're all the same thing. They're... they're just me. You know, Stephen King said once, he said, "salvation and damnation are the same thing." And I never knew what he meant. But I do now.

• Elton Pope : [VO]  And that's when it all changed. That Tuesday night in March. That's when he arrived.

  Victor Kennedy : Lights.

  Elton Pope : [VO]  That's when we met Victor Kennedy and the Golden Age was gone.

  Victor Kennedy : So, we met at last. "LINDA!"

  Mr. Skinner : Pleased to me you, sir. I'm sorry, was the music too loud?

  Victor Kennedy : No, no, no, I don't shake hands. Back, back. I suffer from a skin complaint. Ex-ee-ma.

  Elton Pope : Oh, you mean Eczema.

  Victor Kennedy : Oh, this is worse. Much worse. I blister to the touch. Back, back all of you further, further. Thank you.

  Elton Pope : Sorry, don't mind me asking, but who are you?

  Victor Kennedy : I am your salvation.

• Elton Pope : I was all cozy when all of a sudden

  [windows smash behind him, Elton wakes up abruptly] 

  Elton Pope : There was glass everywhere and I was barefoot! I had to create a rudimentary pulley system just to get to me boots!

• Rose Tyler : You upset my mum.

  Elton Pope : Right. Big absorbing alien over there, and you're having a go at me?
