Quotes 

• The Doctor : Immortality isn't living forever. That's not what it feels like. Immortality is everybody else dying.

• The Doctor : I'm not actually the police. That's just what it says on the box.

• The Doctor : People talk about premonition as if it's something strange. It's not. It's just remembering in the wrong direction.

• Clara Oswald : How's it coming?

  The Doctor : Reversing the polarity of the neutron flow. I bet that means something, sounds great.

• [Heidi wakes up with a start] 

  The Doctor : Morning.

  Heidi : What happened?

  The Doctor : The big bang, dinosaurs, bipeds, and a mounting sense of futility.

• The Doctor : Do babies die with honour?

  [translating the baby's cries] 

  The Doctor : 'I am afraid, Mother. Hold me, Mother, I am afraid.'

  Clara Oswald : Um, he speaks baby.

  The Doctor : [continues translating]  'Turn your face towards me, Mother. For you're... you're beautiful. And I will sing for you. I am afraid, but I will sing.'

• The Doctor : [leading sword practice among the Vikings]  So, when I say 'move' you move! When I say 'jump' you say, 'How high?' Unless there's, of course, a gap of some kind, which of course means you jump horizontally.

  [a tall Viking raises his hand] 

  The Doctor : Yes, what is it, Lofty?

  Lofty : Sir, my name's not actually Lofty. It's...

  The Doctor : No, it's not. It's 'Lofty' - I've got too much to think about without everybody having their own names, so it's 'Lofty.'

  [points to him] 

  The Doctor : You're 'Lofty.'

  [points to a Viking with long hair] 

  The Doctor : You're Daphne,

  [points to a Viking with an oversized helmet] 

  The Doctor : you're Noggin-the-Nog,

  [points to a bald Viking] 

  The Doctor : ZZ Top,

  [points to one with braids] 

  The Doctor : and you're, uh, Heidi.

• [last lines] 

  Clara Oswald : Whatever you did for Ashildr, I think she deserved it.

  The Doctor : Yes. Yes, she did. But Ashildr isn't just human any more. A little piece of alien inside her, so in a way she's... in a way... she's a hybrid.

• [first lines] 

  Clara Oswald : Doctor! Doctor!

  The Doctor : You're the very next thing on the list.

  Clara Oswald : Doctor! Help me!

  The Doctor : Clara, I'm under attack from four and a bit battle fleets, in case you think I'm slacking.

• The Doctor : [Clara has just been beamed from the Mire's ship]  Clara! Clara!

  [He stops running towards her and gives her a thumbs-up] 

  The Doctor : I'm not a hugger.

  [He swoops her up and twirls her around] 

  The Doctor : Oh, and this is not a hug!

• [in a deleted scene] 

  The Doctor : Give me 20 good soldiers and I can win any battle.

  Clara Oswald : Who said that?

  The Doctor : I did. How did it sound?

  Clara Oswald : We don't have 20 good soldiers. You've got the Vikings' answer to Dad's Army.
