• [the Face of Boe lays dying on the floor of the New, New York senate and finally reveals his great secret to Doctor, described in legend as the wandering traveller who will be the recipient of the great secret upon the Face of Boe's death] 

  Face of Boe : But know this , Time Lord, you are not alone.

• Novice Hame : My lord gave his life to save the city and now he's dying.

  The Doctor : No, don't say that. Not old Boe. Plenty of life left.

  Face of Boe : It's good to breathe the air once more.

  Martha Jones : Who is he?

  The Doctor : don't even know. Legend says the Face of Boe has lived for billions of years. Isn't that right? And you're not about to give up now.

  Face of Boe : Everything has its time. You know that, old friend, better than most.

  Novice Hame : The legend says more...

  The Doctor : Don't. There's no need for that.

  Novice Hame : It says that the Face of Boe will speak his final secret to a traveller.

  The Doctor : Yeah, but not yet. Who needs secrets, eh?

  Face of Boe : have seen so much, perhaps too much. I am the last of my kind. As you are the last of yours, Doctor.

  The Doctor : That's why we have to survive. Both of us. Don't go.

• Face of Boe : He has arrived... find him, before it's too late!
