• Missy : Would it help you focus if I extracted some of your vital organs and made a lovely soup?

  Razor : You would never be so... self-destructive. But then again, neither would I.

• [Opening shot, the glowing end of a large spacecraft, engines pulling an inferno inwards. The view moves down its side. Lingering occasionally at windows, we see an industrial city and the number 1056, then a green, hilly terrain under a blue sky, then plains full of wheat. Pulling back, the camera looks down the remaining length of the ship, pointing towards a black hole and its violent accretion disk as rocks fall toward it and explode. At the end of the ship facing the black hold is a small blister of a room jutting out from the center of a large, mostly featureless bulkhead. Inside, a video camera comes alert as the sound of the TARDIS materialisation begins. Solidifying, the door opens and out walks...] 

  Missy : Hello. I'm Doctor Who.

  [one of the cameras twitches, as if saying, "No," then locks onto her face as she poses] 

  Missy : And these are my plucky assistants...

  [Bill and Nardole walk out of the TARDIS, glumly] 

  Missy : Thing One, and the other one.

  Nardole : Bill, Nardole.

  [Missy walks to the center of the room] 

  Missy : We picked up your distress call...

  [Missy smiles and winks exaggeratedly] 

  Missy : and here we are to help...

  [Missy spins and twirls her closed umbrella over her head] 

  Missy : like awesome heroes.

  Bill : Yeah, no, we're not assistants, that's...

  Missy : Ok, right, what- So, what does he call you, companions? Pets? Shnacks?

• Bill : Yeah, but he's called 'The Doctor,' so...

  Missy : [explaining to Bill]  Well, he says. 'I'm "The Doctor,"' and they say, 'Doctor who?' See, I'm cutting to the chase, baby. I'm streamlinin'. I'm saving us ac-tu-al mi-nutes.

  Bill : Yeah, okay. Whatever.

• Jorj : Are you human?

  Missy : Now, don't be a bitch.

• Bill : Nobody knows the Doctor's real name.

  Missy : I do because I grew up with him, and his real name is 'Doctor Who'.

  The Doctor : Bill, she's just trying to wind you up.

• Missy : Hello ordinary person. Please maintain a minimum separation of 3 feet. I'm really trying not to kill anyone today. It would be tremendously helpful if your major arteries were out of reach.

• [Bill has been converted into a Cyberman] 

  The Doctor : Bill? Bill, talk to me. What have they done to you?

  Nardole : Operation Exodus, whatever that is.

  Missy : Well, wrong name, for a start. This is not an exodus, is it? More of a beginning, really, isn't it?

  The Master : [enters]  In fact, d'you know what I'd call it? I'd call it a Genesis.

  Missy : You've met the ex.

  The Master : Specifically, the Genesis of the Cybermen!
