- we all have to face death eventually, be it ours or someone else's. - i'm not ready yet. i don't want to think about that, not yet. - i can't change what's already happened. there are rules. - so break them!
— i'm responsible for what happened to clara, she was in my care
- i had a duty of care.
— what's the point to blaming yourself? — none.
- 'cause i've got a duty of care.
— because she's going to live.
- you did your best. she died, there's nothing you can do. - i can do .anything.
- you can't.. - i can do whatever the hell i like. you've read the stories you KNOW who i am! and in all of that time, did you ever hear anything about anyone who stopped me?
- oh. doctor. to save her soul? but who, my dear, will save yours?
- run. run you clever boy. and remember.
- it's okay. don't worry. i'll remember.
- but i can remember, clara. you don't understand. i can remember it all. every time.. *breath* ..and you'll still be gone. whatever i do.. you still won't be there.
- no pulse. i think.. doctor, she dead.
- still not have a pulse.
- which one of us is dying?
- what if one last heartbeat is all i've got? what if time isn't healing? what if the universe needs me to die?
