Quotes 

• The Celestial Toymaker : I came to this universe with such delight. And I played them all, Doctor. I toyed with supernovas, turned galaxies into spin tops. I gambled with God and made him a jack-in-the-box. I made a jigsaw out of your history. Did you like it? The Master was dying and begged for his life with one final game, and when he lost, I sealed him for all eternity inside my gold tooth. There's only one player I didn't dare face. The One Who Waits.

  The Doctor : Who's that?

  The Celestial Toymaker : I saw it hiding, and I ran.

  The Doctor : What do you mean?

  The Celestial Toymaker : Hmm. That's someone else's game.

• The Celestial Toymaker : [from trailer]  Doctor, we meet again. The Time Lord and the Toymaker. One final game.

• The Celestial Toymaker : I have fallen in love with humanity. This world is the ultimate playground! All of the sport, the matches, the medals, the gambling and the anger... And the children, shackled to their bedrooms with their joysticks and their buttons. You make games out of bricks falling upon other bricks, you are exceptional! And then there are the mind-games, oh... the dating and ghosting, the deceit and the control, you make me dizzy! I am in no hurry to leave this place.

• The Celestial Toymaker : Donna Noble, this is for you. Let me tell you what happened. When the Doctor, he was leaving you, he met eine friend called Amy Pond. Und he loved Amy Pond. Yes, he be liking the redheads. Und they went to and fro in time und space, but... Amy Pond was touched by der Weeping Angel, und she died!

  The Doctor : She died of old age.

  The Celestial Toymaker : Well, that's alright, then! Und then he was meeting Clara. Ooh! But she was killed by a bird.

  The Doctor : She still survives in her last second of life.

  The Celestial Toymaker : Well, that's alright, then! But then the Doctor met Bill. Not Stooky Bill, but lady Bill. But she was killed by the Cybermen.

  The Doctor : But her consciousness survives.

  The Celestial Toymaker : Oh, well, that's alright, then! Und then there came the Flux. Oh, Donna Noble, the poor Doctor. The Flux... was killing everything.

• Donna Noble : He's not dying alone. You can do what you like to me. I'm going to be with him.

  Melanie Bush : And so am I.

  The Celestial Toymaker : Handmaidens.

  [He nods approvingly] 

  Donna Noble : [to the Doctor, as she takes his hand]  It's OK.

  The Doctor : It's not dying.

  Donna Noble : I know. But...

  Melanie Bush : You're going to be someone else. It doesn't matter who... because every single one of you is fantastic.

  The Doctor : It's time. Here we go again. Allons-y!
