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.

• [possessed by the sun] 

  The Doctor : Burn with me. Burn with me, Martha.

• 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.

• The Doctor : [to Martha after being possessed]  Stay away from me!

• The Doctor : [in Med center]  Stasis chamber. I do love a good stasis chamber.

• 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.
