Quotes 

• Riley Vashtee : [reading from display]  Find the next number in the sequence: 313, 331, 367...? What?

  Martha Jones : You said the crew knew all the answers!

  Riley Vashtee : The crew's changed since we set the questions.

  Martha Jones : You're joking!

  The Doctor : 379!

  Martha Jones : What?

  The Doctor : It's a sequence of happy primes - 379!

  Martha Jones : Happy what?

  The Doctor : Just enter it!

  Riley Vashtee : Are you sure? We only get one chance.

  The Doctor : Any number that reduces to one when you take the sum of the square of its digits and continue iterating it until it yields 1 is a happy number, any number that doesn't, isn't. A happy prime is both happy and prime. Now type it in!

  [aside] 

  The Doctor : I dunno, talk about dumbing down. Don't they teach recreational mathematics anymore?

• The Doctor : We need a backup in case they don't reach the auxiliary engines in time. Come on, think! Resources! What have we got?

  Martha Jones : [over intercom]  Doctor?

  The Doctor : What is it now?

  Martha Jones : Who had the most number ones: Elvis or the Beatles? That's pre-download.

  The Doctor : Elvis. No! The Beatles. No! Wait, um... um... oh, there was that remix, um... I don't know! I am a bit busy.

  Martha Jones : Fine, I'll ask someone else.

  The Doctor : Now, where was I? "Here Comes The Sun". No, resources!

• The Doctor : Ten seconds. That's all I'll be able to take. No more. Ahh, ahh, ahhh! Martha!

  Martha Jones : Yeah?

  The Doctor : It's burning me up. I can't control it. If you don't get rid of it, I could kill you. I could kill you all.

  [lets out a groan of pain] 

  The Doctor : I'm scared. I'm so scared.

  Martha Jones : Just stay calm. You saved me, now I return the favor. Just believe in me.

• The Doctor : [in pain]  You mined that sun. Skipped its surface for cheap fuel. You should've scanned for life!

  Kath McDonnell : I don't understand.

  Martha Jones : Doctor, what are you talking about?

  The Doctor : That sun's alive. A living organism. They scooped out its heart. Used it for fuel and now it's screaming!

  Kath McDonnell : What do you mean? How can a sun be alive? Why is he saying that?

  The Doctor : Because it's living in me.

  Kath McDonnell : [gasps]  Oh my god.

  The Doctor : Humans! You grabbed whatever is nearest and bleed it dry! You should've scanned!

  Kath McDonnell : It takes too long. We'd be caught. Fusion scans are illegal.

  The Doctor : [screams in pain]  Martha! You got to freeze me quickly!

  Martha Jones : What?

  The Doctor : Stasis chamber. You got to take me below minus 200. Freeze it out of me!

  [groans in pain] 

  The Doctor : It'll use me to kill you if you don't. The closer we get to the sun, the stronger the link! Med center! Quickly!

  Martha Jones : [to Capt. McDonnell]  Help me!

• [first lines] 

  The Doctor : Well, there we go, universal roaming.

  [tosses Martha her newly altered cell phone] 

  The Doctor : Never have to worry about a signal again.

  Martha Jones : No way. This is too mad. You're telling me I can phone anyone anywhere in space and time on my mobile?

  The Doctor : As long as you know the area code.

• The Doctor : [over the intercome]  Keep moving fast as you can. And, Martha, be careful. There may be something else onboard the ship.

  Martha Jones : [sarcastically]  Any time you want to unnerve me, feel free.

  The Doctor : Will do, thanks.

• Riley Vashtee : These doors' trip code is the answer to a random question set by the crew. Nine tours back, we got drunk, thought them up. Reckoning was, if we're hijacked, we're the only ones who know all the answers.

  Martha Jones : So you type in the right answer...

  Riley Vashtee : This sends a remote pulse to the clamp. But we only get one chance per door. Get it wrong, the whole system freezes.

  Martha Jones : Better not get it wrong, then.

  Riley Vashtee : Okay.

  [reading] 

  Riley Vashtee : 'Date of the SS Pentalian's first flight?' That's all right. Go!

  Martha Jones : [door opens]  Yes!

  Riley Vashtee : Twenty eight more to go!

  [Later] 

  Riley Vashtee : [reading]  'Find the next number in the sequence: 313, 331, 367...?' What?

  Martha Jones : You said the crew knew all the answers.

  Riley Vashtee : The crew's changed since we set the questions.

• The Doctor : [just after leaving the ship inside the TARDIS]  By the way, you'll be needing this.

  [reveals a TARDIS key hanging on a string] 

  Martha Jones : Really?

  The Doctor : Frequent fliers privilege.

  [Martha hold out both hands, excited; The Doctor places the key in her palms] 

  Martha Jones : Thank you.

  The Doctor : Don't mention it.
