Riley Vashtee : [reading from display] Find the next number in the sequence: 313, 331, 367...? What?
Martha Jones : You said the crew knew all the answers!
Riley Vashtee : The crew's changed since we set the questions.
Martha Jones : You're joking!
The Doctor : 379!
Martha Jones : What?
The Doctor : It's a sequence of happy primes - 379!
Martha Jones : Happy what?
The Doctor : Just enter it!
Riley Vashtee : Are you sure? We only get one chance.
The Doctor : Any number that reduces to one when you take the sum of the square of its digits and continue iterating it until it yields 1 is a happy number, any number that doesn't, isn't. A happy prime is both happy and prime. Now type it in!
[aside]
The Doctor : I dunno, talk about dumbing down. Don't they teach recreational mathematics anymore?
-
The Doctor : We need a backup in case they don't reach the auxiliary engines in time. Come on, think! Resources! What have we got?
Martha Jones : [over intercom] Doctor?
The Doctor : What is it now?
Martha Jones : Who had the most number ones: Elvis or the Beatles? That's pre-download.
The Doctor : Elvis. No! The Beatles. No! Wait, um... um... oh, there was that remix, um... I don't know! I am a bit busy.
Martha Jones : Fine, I'll ask someone else.
The Doctor : Now, where was I? "Here Comes The Sun". No, resources!
-
The Doctor : Ten seconds. That's all I'll be able to take. No more. Ahh, ahh, ahhh! Martha!
Martha Jones : Yeah?
The Doctor : It's burning me up. I can't control it. If you don't get rid of it, I could kill you. I could kill you all.
[lets out a groan of pain]
The Doctor : I'm scared. I'm so scared.
Martha Jones : Just stay calm. You saved me, now I return the favor. Just believe in me.

The Doctor : [in pain] You mined that sun. Skipped its surface for cheap fuel. You should've scanned for life!
Kath McDonnell : I don't understand.
Martha Jones : Doctor, what are you talking about?
The Doctor : That sun's alive. A living organism. They scooped out its heart. Used it for fuel and now it's screaming!
Kath McDonnell : What do you mean? How can a sun be alive? Why is he saying that?
The Doctor : Because it's living in me.
Kath McDonnell : [gasps] Oh my god.
The Doctor : Humans! You grabbed whatever is nearest and bleed it dry! You should've scanned!
Kath McDonnell : It takes too long. We'd be caught. Fusion scans are illegal.
The Doctor : [screams in pain] Martha! You got to freeze me quickly!
Martha Jones : What?
The Doctor : Stasis chamber. You got to take me below minus 200. Freeze it out of me!
[groans in pain]
The Doctor : It'll use me to kill you if you don't. The closer we get to the sun, the stronger the link! Med center! Quickly!
Martha Jones : [to Capt. McDonnell] Help me!

[first lines]
The Doctor : Well, there we go, universal roaming.
[tosses Martha her newly altered cell phone]
The Doctor : Never have to worry about a signal again.
Martha Jones : No way. This is too mad. You're telling me I can phone anyone anywhere in space and time on my mobile?
The Doctor : As long as you know the area code.

[possessed by the sun]
The Doctor : Burn with me. Burn with me, Martha.
-
The Doctor : [over the intercome] Keep moving fast as you can. And, Martha, be careful. There may be something else onboard the ship.
Martha Jones : [sarcastically] Any time you want to unnerve me, feel free.
The Doctor : Will do, thanks.
-
The Doctor : [to Martha after being possessed] Stay away from me!
-
The Doctor : [in Med center] Stasis chamber. I do love a good stasis chamber.
-
The Doctor : [just after leaving the ship inside the TARDIS] By the way, you'll be needing this.
[reveals a TARDIS key hanging on a string]
Martha Jones : Really?
The Doctor : Frequent fliers privilege.
[Martha hold out both hands, excited; The Doctor places the key in her palms]
Martha Jones : Thank you.
The Doctor : Don't mention it.
