  The Doctor : Mickey, what's Pre-Revolutionary France doing on a spaceship? Get a little perspective!

• Mickey Smith : So that Doctor, eh?

  Rose Tyler : I don't know what you're talking about.

  Mickey Smith : Well, Madame de Pompadour, Sarah Jane Smith, Cleopatra.

  Rose Tyler : Oh, Cleopatra! He mentioned her once.

  Mickey Smith : Yeah, but he called her Cleo.

• Rose Tyler : [about Madame De Pompadour]  The Queen must've loved her.

  The Doctor : Oh, she did. They got on very well.

  Mickey Smith : The King's wife and the King's girlfriend?

  The Doctor : France. It's a different planet.

• Mickey Smith : It's a spaceship! Brilliant, I got a spaceship on my first go!

  Rose Tyler : Looks kind of abandoned. Anyone on board?

• The Doctor : Must be a spatio-temporal hyperlink.

  Mickey Smith : What's that?

  The Doctor : No idea, I just made it up. Didn't want to say "Magic Door"

• [32-year-old Reinette barges past Rose and Mickey behind the tapestry and finds herself on the spaceship at the Dagmar Cluster, two and a half galaxies away from Earth, in the 51st Century, roughly 3300 years in her future] 

  Reinette Poisson : This is his world.

  [the members of the royal court start screaming somewhere in the distance] 

  Reinette Poisson : What was that?

  Mickey Smith : [hesitates, then to Rose]  The time window. The Doctor fixed an audio link.

  Reinette Poisson : Those screams... Is that my future?

  Rose Tyler : Yeah, I'm sorry.

  Reinette Poisson : Then I must take the slower path.

  Madame Du Pompadour : [echoing in the halls]  Are you there? Can you hear me? I need you, now! You promised! The clock on the mantel is broken!

  Reinette Poisson : [fearful]  Th- that's my voice.

  Madame Du Pompadour : It is time!

  Mickey Smith : Rose, come on, we gotta go. There's- there's a problem.

  Rose Tyler : Give me a moment.

  [Mickey hurries down the corridor of the ship] 

  Rose Tyler : Are you okay?

  Reinette Poisson : No, I'm very afraid. But you and I both know, don't we Rose? The Doctor is worth the monsters.

  [Reinette returns through the time window behind the tapestry to her own time] 

  Madame Du Pompadour : [echoing]  Doctor! Doctor!

  [in the ballroom, the clockwork service droids corner the royal court] 

  Madame Du Pompadour : [37 years old, speaking into her fireplace]  Doctor!

  King Louis : We must go! No one is coming to help us!

  [a clockwork man appproaches and stands in the doorway. Madame Du Pompadour stands, turns, and gasps as memories flash in her mind of him in her bedroom in 1727 as 6-years-old Reinette. Two more costumed droids arrive, flanking him, completely blocking her and King Louis XV's egress] 

  Clockwork Man : You are complete. You will come.

• Mickey Smith : What's a horse doing on a spaceship?

  The Doctor : Mickey, what's pre-Revolutionary France doing on a spaceship? Get a little perspective!
