Quotes6

  • The Master: I landed here. I had trouble taking off.
  • Missy: The black hole?
  • The Master: Too close to the event horizon.
  • Missy: And you screwed up. You went too fast.
  • The Master: I blew the dematerialization circuit.
  • Missy: Which reminds me, a funny thing happened to me once.
  • The Master: What?
  • Missy: [throws the Master against the wall] A very long time ago, a very scary lady threw me against a wall and made me promise to always, ALWAYS carry a spare dematerialization circuit. I don't remember much about her now, but... she must have made quite an impression.
  • [produces a spare dematerialization circuit]
  • The Master: You know, you basically have me to thank for this.
  • Missy: You're welcome.
  • The Master: By the way, is it wrong that I...
  • [glances down toward his crotch]
  • Missy: [taking a step away] Yes. Very.
  • Missy: [embraces the Master] I loved being you. Every second of it. Oh, the way you burned like a sun, like a whole screaming world on fire. I remember that feeling, and I always will... and I will always miss it.
  • The Master: [staggering back slightly] Now that... was really... very nicely done.
  • Missy: Thank you.
  • [the Master sees a stab wound, Missy holds up a knife]
  • The Master: It's good to know I haven't lost my touch.
  • Missy: You deserve my best.
  • The Master: How long do I have?
  • Missy: Oh, I was precise. You'll be able to make it back to your TARDIS, maybe even get a cuppa. Although, you might leak a little.
  • The Master: And then, rengenerate... into you.
  • Missy: Welcome to the Sisterhood.
  • The Master: Missy, seriously... why?
  • Missy: Oh... because he's right. Because it's time to stand with him. It's where we've always been going, and it's happening, now, today. It's time to stand with the Doctor.
  • The Master: No. Never. MISSY! I will never stand with the Doctor!
  • Missy: Oh, yes, my dear, you will.
  • The Master: [to the Doctor] See this face. Take a good, long look at it. This is the face that didn't listen to a word you just said.
  • [grins, then leaves]
  • [the Master shoots Missy with his laser screwdriver]
  • The Master: Don't bother trying to regenerate. You got the full blast. You see, Missy, this is where we've always been going. This is our perfect ending. We shoot ourselves in the back.
  • [both laugh]
  • The Master: Doctor. Right! While you've been here chatting up Robo-Mop, me and... me have been busy. We've found it.
  • The Master: [to Bill, in "Razor's" voice] "Oh, hello, my dear. My God, you were so boring for all those years." But it was worth every day of it. For this.
  • Twelfth Doctor: Bill, don't let him upset you.
  • The Master: Though, didn't you used to be a woman? I'm gonna be a woman, fairly soon. Any tips? Or maybe... I don't know, old bras?
  • Bill: I am not upset.
  • The Master: [disappointed] Oh. Well, doesn't that take all the fun out of cruelty? Might as well rile a fridge. Come on, this way.
  • The Master: Is the future going to be all girl?
  • Twelfth Doctor: Well can only hope.
