Capture, Rescue and Mortal Peril:

Quotes:

* ‘The only ghost at work here is the spirit of Sir Isaac Newton. Gravity. It fell and rolled away.' - Sarah, finding Toby's screwdriver after a ghost supposedly took it
* 'These readings, they're like nothing I've ever seen before!' 'What is that?' 'It's like your EMF meter, only more useful.' - Sarah and Toby
* 'Never leave home without one. Especially if you're going somewhere with Sarah Jane Smith.' - Clyde, on his torch
* 'Listen to me, Darkening. I have fought the worst things from the darkest corners of the universe. You don't stand a ghost of a chance!' - Sarah
* 'Oh, there are so many things out there more exciting than ghost hunting, Toby.' 'Who exactly are you?' 'Nobody special.' - Sarah and Toby
* 'How could you think I would not see through so transparent a stratagem? You disappoint me, Sarah Jane Smith.' 'I never like to disappoint...' - Darkening and Sarah, right before she KICKS HIS ASS
* 'That's the trouble with having a colossal intellect, you think you're so much cleverer than everyone else. You never consider what other people might be hiding up their sleeves.' - Sarah, on Darkening

Wardrobe Appreciation

After last week's bonanza, it's back to the good old boots-jeans-waistcoat! But it's the fun pink shirt, and the jacket with the cool buttons!
