Elton Pope
- Elton Pope: When you're a kid, they tell you it's all... grow up. Get a job. Get married. Get a house. Have a kid, and that's it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.
- [the Abzorbaloff is about to absorb Elton when the TARDIS appears in front of them]
- The Doctor: [Exits the TARDIS and addresses Elton] Someone wants a word with you.
- [Rose exits the TARDIS]
- Rose Tyler: [annoyed] You upset my mum.
- Elton Pope: [confused, nods at Abzorbaloff] Great, big, absorbing creature from outer space and you're having a go at me?
- Rose Tyler: No one upsets my mum!
- [holding Ursula who turned to a floor tile with a face]
- Elton Pope: It's a relationship... of sorts. But we manage. We've even got a bit of a love life.
- Ursula Blake: Oh, let's not go into that...
- [after presenting a photo of Jackie in his cell phone]
- Elton Pope: I had to work very hard. She keeps everything very close to her chest.
- Ursula Blake: That's a hell of a chest.
- Elton Pope: Turns out I've had the most terrible things happen. And the most brilliant things. And sometimes, well, I can't tell the difference. They're all the same thing. They're... they're just me. You know, Stephen King said once, he said, "salvation and damnation are the same thing." And I never knew what he meant. But I do now.
- Elton Pope: [VO] And that's when it all changed. That Tuesday night in March. That's when he arrived.
- Victor Kennedy: Lights.
- Elton Pope: [VO] That's when we met Victor Kennedy and the Golden Age was gone.
- Victor Kennedy: So, we met at last. "LINDA!"
- Mr. Skinner: Pleased to me you, sir. I'm sorry, was the music too loud?
- Victor Kennedy: No, no, no, I don't shake hands. Back, back. I suffer from a skin complaint. Ex-ee-ma.
- Elton Pope: Oh, you mean Eczema.
- Victor Kennedy: Oh, this is worse. Much worse. I blister to the touch. Back, back all of you further, further. Thank you.
- Elton Pope: Sorry, don't mind me asking, but who are you?
- Victor Kennedy: I am your salvation.
- Elton Pope: I was all cozy when all of a sudden
- [windows smash behind him, Elton wakes up abruptly]
- Elton Pope: There was glass everywhere and I was barefoot! I had to create a rudimentary pulley system just to get to me boots!
- Rose Tyler: You upset my mum.
- Elton Pope: Right. Big absorbing alien over there, and you're having a go at me?
