 * Clara Oswald: Doctor!
 * The Doctor: Hello.
 * Clara Oswald: You're young again. You're okay... You didn't even change your face.
 * The Doctor: Ha! It's started, I can't stop it now, this is just the reset, a whole new regeneration cycle, ooh. Taking a bit longer, just breaking it in. It all just disappears, doesn't it? Everything you are, gone in a moment; like breath on a mirror. Any moment now, he's a comin'.
 * Clara Oswald: Who's comin'?

 * Clara Oswald: You, you are The Doctor.
 * The Doctor: Yup, and I always will be. But times change, and so must I... Amelia.
 * Clara Oswald: Who is Amelia?
 * The Doctor: The first face this face saw. We all change, when you think about it, we're all different people; all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good, you've gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear. I will always remember when The Doctor was me.
