Quotes:

* ‘Sarah Jane Smith was mysterious, and moody, and oh, you did not want to get on the wrong side of her - but I thought she was wonderful. She saved the world so many times. She changed my life - I never told her how grateful I was.' - Rani
* 'I know about your parents - it's not easy, is it?' 'I was just a kid, I'm fine.' 'My parents died when I was young. I know that it's never fine.' - Sarah and Sam
* 'Are you sure you know where we're going?' 'I knew I should have brought Luke. He moans less than you.' 'I can run faster, though.' 'Hey, I was holding back so you could keep up!' 'Yeah, yeah right, yeah!' - Clyde and Sarah
* 'We chose you, you didn't choose us.' 'No, I don't think so.' 'Well, you are getting old, you know, your memory's going.' 'Oh!' (She offers a hand to him) 'Come on... oh, you're not going to take an old lady's hand? I might fall if you don't.' 'It's all right, I've got my mobile phone so I can call the ambulance if your hip goes.' - Clyde and Sarah

* 'I could have climbed over!' 'My way's more stylish.' - Clyde and Sarah, after she uses the sonic lipstick to open a gate
* 'I don't even know what that is.' - Sarah is unfamiliar with Clyde's strange gestures

* 'It had to be a haunted mine, didn't it?' 'You're not scared, are you?' 'Me Clyde, me no get scared.' 'After everything you've seen?' 'Me get scared sometimes.' 'Ahh.' 'You?' 'Me? Nah.' - Clyde and Sarah
* 'That is one mixed-up family. Do you think they're going to be ok?' 'I think they're going to be fantastic.' - Clyde and Sarah
* 'I'm so sorry for telling Sam about what we do.' 'No Rani, I'm sorry.' 'What for?' 'Maybe you were right to tell Sam. I've spent so many years alone, I still find it difficult to trust people. But you know, they're not all out to get us, and sometimes I forget that. Sometimes visitors to this world just need a friend.' - Rani and Sarah
