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!

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.

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

Orin Scannell : Come on!
