- Mrs. Flood: Having a nice time?
- Ruby Sunday: Yeah, I'm just speaking to...
- Mrs. Flood: You're standing in the street on the phone to your own mother?
- Ruby Sunday: Y-Yeah.
- Mrs. Flood: Nothing to do with me.
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: I take it that's the woman, behind me, is that right?
- Ruby Sunday: Yes.
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: Good. Well, just look at me instead. I'm Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, and I think I can help.
- Ruby Sunday: Yeah, that was over a year ago. She's put an injunction out against me, my own mother. I thought about going back to Manchester, but I don't want to leave, you know, just in case. I've got this rubbish job at Kleinermann's to make ends meet.
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: Well, I think we can help with that. We have a tradition of helping the Doctor's former companions, once they return to a... normal life.
- Ruby Sunday: I wa... I was hardly with him, really.
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: But it felt like a lifetime?
- Ruby Sunday: Yeah.
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: Well, we're the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, created to investigate the extraterrestrial and, more and more, the supernatural. Things seem to be turning that way these days.
- Ruby Sunday: And you worked with the Doctor?
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: With him. Despite him. Against him, sometimes. And I adore him. I can only say that now he's not here.
- Ruby Sunday: Oh, no, I won't say a word.
- Old Ruby: I presume she must be gone, my mother. No-one ever told me. And I didn't find my birth mother. It never snowed again. But I keep thinking... I know why. The woman. And I've been thinking about it my whole life. Why's she here? And I think, at the end, I have hope. Because that's very you, isn't it? My old friend. I dare to hope.
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: I'm glad we found you.
- Ruby Sunday: Oh, so am I!
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: And you can take us to the Tardis?
- Ruby Sunday: Yeah, it's just sitting there. I'm actually surprised no-one's reported it, really.
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: It has a perception filter. People notice it, but... sort of... sort of don't. I wonder if it's connected, if landing a perception filter on top of that circle has affected things. Huh.
- Ruby Sunday: Well, maybe, cos she has a perception thing. Like, no-one at work has complained about the old woman stood outside every day. It's like they see her, but they don't notice her. I once positioned her right in front of a police car, and they just drove right around her.
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: And if you sit in a room with no windows?
- Ruby Sunday: No, I can't see her, but I know she's there. 73 yards. I've measured it 100 times. I've measured it a thousand times. It's 73 yards.
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: But if you went on a plane?
- Ruby Sunday: Or a boat. Yeah, no, I know. But I don't, cos I keep thinking, "If I cut her off, I might die." Or... she might die. I don't know, does that sound mad?
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: It sounds wise. That's what we do, all of us, we see something inexplicable and invent the rules to make it work. Mankind saw the sunrise and created God. Or we saw the arrival of a Sontaran, one or the other.
- Hiker: You must be mad! Is that all you're wearing?
- Ruby Sunday: Yeah, I got kind of... caught. Um... The car broke down.
- Hiker: Oh, no! Oh, you poor thing.
- Ruby Sunday: I know. What a day. Erm, where is that, down there? What is it?
- Hiker: Oh, that's Glyngatwg, if you'll forgive my pronunciation. Which they don't.
- Ruby Sunday: Uh... I haven't met you before, have I?
- Hiker: Oh, I don't think so. Have you?
- Ruby Sunday: No. That was a different... Sorry. Could you help me? That, um, woman over there - do you see her?
- Hiker: Of course I can. Who is she?
- Ruby Sunday: Um... This is going to sound a bit mad, but she's following me. I think I may have trespassed, or something, I don't know, but could you just tell her I'm sorry?
- Hiker: Sorry for what?
- Ruby Sunday: I don't know.
- Hiker: Have I walked into something?
- Ruby Sunday: No, no, no, no. Sorry. You're just going that way. So, could you just tell her that I'm fine, and she can go home?
- Hiker: I'm intrigued now. And it's no skin off my nose. But once that's done, get in the warm, both of you, whatever little game this is.
- Amol Rajan: Yes, but the government says...
- Roger ap Gwilliam: What government? The government has collapsed in shame. In absolute shame, Amol. N-Now's the time to vote, you know? For Britain to find its voice, to find its pride, its future.
- Amol Rajan: Yes, but the point is that, if people are worried about anything, it's the cost of living. It's inflation. It's a price cap at £15,000. And you want to spend billions, indeed you committed to spending £65 billion, on nuclear weapons.
- Roger ap Gwilliam: Amol, I'm a Welshman. I-I was born in Wales. That's what the "ap" in my name means. It's not one of those apps that you used to have on your phones in the old days. It means "son of". I am a son of Wales. And the Welsh know what it's like to be oppressed. And that has taught me to say "no more". And that's what I'm saying - no more. I want Great Britain to say "no more". So, yes! I have pledged to defend our borders and set us up on high as one of the greatest nations in the world.
- Amol Rajan: But we're members of Nato.
- Roger ap Gwilliam: And when did Nato ever, you know, fire a nuclear missile? Ever? 2031, the Great Russian War, not a single rocket.
- Amol Rajan: Excuse me, I'm sorry. Are you saying that you actually want to fire a nuclear missile?
- Roger ap Gwilliam: We'll cut that bit out, right?
- Ruby Sunday: [about the Doctor] I keep wondering how the world survives without him.
- Kate Lethbridge-Stewart: Well, that's classified.
