Quotes:

[first lines]
Steven Taylor: We're landing now Doctor.
Dr. Who: Good. That means the gravitational bearing must have rectified itself.
Dorothea 'Dodo' Chaplet: [enters from one of the other rooms] Hey, look at this!
[models her groovy new outfit, a sleeveless mini dress. The upper portion is light-colored with a dark, misshaped circle in the center. The bottom portion is dark-colored with light, misshaped circles all around. On her head she wears a cap with a visor. She looks like she just came from Carnaby Street. Meanwhile, the Doctor switches off the TARDIS]
Dorothea 'Dodo' Chaplet: Ain't it fab?
Steven Taylor: [walks over to her and examines her clothes with approval] Yes... hmm, very nice.
[the Doctor sneezes and as he does so he slowly fades away. Steven and Dodo don't notice right away because they are facing each other]
Steven Taylor: Bless you.
Dorothea 'Dodo' Chaplet: Oh Doctor, don't say you're catching a cold now.
