- Bill: Doctor, this is a bad idea.
- The Doctor: No, it's a GOOD idea. A test run. She thinks she can be me - let's try her out.
- Bill: Why?
- The Doctor: She got us home from Mars.
- Bill: She's a murderer!
- The Doctor: [after a pause] Enjoying your bacon sandwich?
- Bill: Why?
- The Doctor: Because it had a mummy and a daddy. Go tell a pig about your moral highground.
- [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: 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.
- Razor: [to Missy] I love disguises. Do you still like disguises? Of course, they are... rather necessary when you happen to be someone's former prime minister.
- [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!
