• Bill : [inside the Tardis for the first time]  Look at this place! It's like a...

  The Doctor : Spaceship?

  Bill : Kitchen!

  The Doctor : A what?

  Bill : A really posh kitchen, all metal. What happened to the doors, though? Did you run out of money?

• Bill : Why'd you run like that?

  The Doctor : Like what?

  Bill : Like a penguin with it's arse on fire.

• Bill : Are you from space?

  The Doctor : No of course not. Nobody's from space. I'm from a planet like everybody else.

• Nardole : [describing how the Tardis works]  First you have to imagine a very big box fitting inside a very small box.

  Bill : Okay

  Nardole : Then, you have to make one. It's the second part people normally get stuck on.

• Bill : [exiting the Tardis]  We've moved again.

  The Doctor : We have.

  Bill : But it was night.

  The Doctor : Yep.

  Bill : Now it's day.

  The Doctor : Definitely day.

  Bill : Oh my god, have we travelled in time?

  The Doctor : No, of course not. We've travelled to Australia.

• The Doctor : Nothing gets through these doors.

  Bill : But they're made of wood.

• The Doctor : I'll tell you what, let's just pop into my box.

  Bill : Your box? What good is getting in your box going to do?

  The Doctor : What an extraordinarily long and involved answer this is going to be.

• Bill : You know you're my foster mum? He's like my foster tutor.

  Moira : Am I going to have to break every bone in his body?

  Bill : It's not like that.

  Moira : You need to keep your eye on men.

  Bill : [sotto]  Men aren't where I keep my eye, actually.

• The Doctor : I need to know if it has any interest in what's inside this vault.

  Bill : Why, what's inside it?

  The Doctor : Something I don't want anyone being too curious about.

  Bill : So you put it in the middle of a university?

• The Doctor : [In The TARDIS]  What you are standing in is a technological marvel. It is science beyond magic. This is the gateway to everything that ever was, or ever can be.

  Bill : Can I use the toilet?

  The Doctor : Pardon?

  Bill : I've had a fright. I need the toilet.

  The Doctor : It's down there, first right, second left, past the macaroon dispenser.

  Bill : Thanks.

  Nardole : [Nardole is coming up the stairs as Bill heads down]  Oh, human! Human alert. Do you want me to repel her?

  The Doctor : She's just passing through. She wants to use the toilet.

  Nardole : Oh. I'd er give it a minute, if I were you.
