The Doctor: I like my thumb. I need my thumb. I'm very attached to... my thumb.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Doctor: Are we in Scotland?
Captain Reynolds: How can you be ignorant of that?
The Doctor: Oh, I'm-I'm dazed and confused. I've been chasing this wee naked child over hill and over dale. Ain't that right, ya... tim'rous beastie?
Rose: Uh-uh... [adopting a terrible Scottish accent] och aye, I've been oot and aboot--
The Doctor: [quietly to Rose] No, don't do that.
Rose: Hoots, mon!
The Doctor: No, really don't. Really.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rose: She was just sitting there...
The Doctor: Like a stamp.
Rose: I want her to say 'We are not amused'. I bet you five quid I can make her say it.
The Doctor: Well, if I gambled on that, it would be an abuse of my privilege as a traveller in time.
Rose: Ten quid?
The Doctor: Done.

Sir Robert: [to Queen Victoria] I'm sorry Mam, it's all my fault. I should have sent you away. I tried to suggest that something was wrong... I though you might notice. Did you think there was nothing strange about my household staff?
The Doctor: Well, they were bald, athletic.. your wife's away, I just thought you were happy...

Rose: What do we do?
The Doctor: We - run.
Rose: What, is that it?
The Doctor: Got any silver bullets?
Rose: Not on me, no.
The Doctor: There you are then, we run. [to Queen Victoria] Your Majesty, as a doctor, I suggest a vigorous jog; good for the health!

The Doctor: But the funny thing is, Queen Victoria actually did suffer a mutation of the blood. It's historical record; she was a haemophiliac - they used to call it the Royal disease. But it's always been a mystery because she didn't inherit it; her mum didn't have it, her dad didn't have it - it came from nowhere.
Rose: And what, you're saying that's a wolf bite?
The Doctor: Well.... maybe haemophilia is just a Victorian euphemism.
Rose: For werewolf?
The Doctor: Could be.
Rose: Queen Victoria's a werewolf.
The Doctor: Could be. And, her children had the Royal disease. Maybe she gave them a quick nip.
Rose: So the royal family are werewolves?
The Doctor: Well, maybe not yet, a single wolf cell would take.... a hundred years to mature? Might be ready by early 21st century?
Rose: Nah, that's just ridiculous. Mind you, Princess Anne-
The Doctor: I'll say no more.
Rose: [giggling] And if you think about it, they're very private. They plan everything in advance. They could schedule themselves round the moon, and we'd never know! [she and the Doctor enter the TARDIS] They like hunting! They love blood sport! [as the TARDIS dematerialises] Oh my god, they're werewolves! [the Doctor and Rose make howling noises]
