Quotes 

• Oswin : Is there a word for "total screaming genius" that sounds modest and a tiny bit sexy?

  The Doctor : Doctor. You call me the Doctor.

  Oswin : I see what you did there.

• Oswin : Do you know how you make someone into a Dalek? Subtract love, add anger. Doesn't she seem a bit too angry to you?

  Amy Pond : Well, somebody's never been to Scotland.

• Oswin : Run, you clever boy, and remember.

• Oswin : [her first lines]  Day 363. The terror continues. Also, made another soufflé.

  [takes badly burned soufflé out of the oven] 

  Oswin : Very nearly.

• The Doctor : What have you been doing on your own against the Daleks for a year?

  Oswin : Making soufflés.

  The Doctor : Soufflés against the Daleks.

  [laughs] 

  The Doctor : Where do you get the milk?

• The Doctor : Oswin? I think I'm close.

  Oswin : [heads back to her chair and checks the monitor]  You are. Less than 20 feet away. Which is the good news...

  The Doctor : Okay. And the bad, which I suddenly feel is coming?

  Oswin : You're about to pass through intensive care.

  [the door in front of the Doctor opens, revealing a room full of dusty, broken Daleks, some chained up, in individual cells] 

  The Doctor : What's so special about this lot, then?

  Oswin : Dunno. Survivors of particular wars. Spiridon. Kembel. Aridius. Vulcan. Exxilon. Ringing any bells?

  The Doctor : All of them.

  Oswin : Yeah? How?

  The Doctor : These are the Daleks who survived me.

• Oswin : [over the intercom]  So, anyway, I'm Oswin. What do I call you?

  Rory Williams : Uh... Rory.

  Oswin : Lovely name, Rory. First boy I ever fancied was called Rory.

  Rory Williams : Okay.

  Oswin : Actually she was called Nina. I was going through a phase.

• Oswin : [narrating]  Check defenses. They came again last night. Still always at night. Maybe they're vampires.

  [gasps] 

  Oswin : Oh! And it's my mum's birthday.

  [talking into a recording device] 

  Oswin : Happy birthday,, Mum. I did make you a soufflé but it was too beautiful to live.
