Quotes
====================================
Monk: They call him the mad monk, don't they.
Abbott: They shouldn't. He's definitely not a monk.
Abbott: The woman twice dead, and her final message. He was drawn to this place of peace and solitude that he might divine her meaning. If he truly is mad, then this is his madness.
The 11th Doctor: That is not supposed to happen.
Clara [on screen]: It's just a thing to remember the password, run you clever boy and remember.
Clara: When you say mobile phone, why do you point at that blue box?
The 11th Doctor [on screen]: Because it's a surprisingly accurate description.
Clara: Assembled a what?
The 11th Doctor: I found a disassembled quadricycle in the garage.
Clara: I don't think you did.
The 11th Doctor: I invented the quadricycle. Ha!
The 11th Doctor: There's something in the wifi.
Clara: Okay.
The 11th Doctor: This whole world is swimming in wifi. We're living in a wifi soup. Suppose something got inside it. Suppose there was something living in the wifi, harvesting human minds. Extracting them. Imagine that. Human souls trapped like flies in the world-wide web. Stuck forever, crying out for help.
Clara: Isn't that basically Twitter?
The 11th Doctor: Oh, trust me. You'll understand once we're in there.
Clara: I bet I will. What is that box, anyway? Why have you got a box? Is it like a snogging booth?
The 11th Doctor: Clara. A what?
Clara: Is that what you do, bring a booth? There is such a thing as too keen.
The 11th Doctor: I'm the Doctor. I'm an alien from outer space. I'm a thousand years old, I've got two hearts and I can't fly a plane! Can you?
The 11th Doctor: I'm from space and the future with two hearts and twenty seven brains.
Clara: And I can find them in under five minutes plus photographs. Twenty seven?
The 11th Doctor: Okay, slight exaggeration.
The 11th Doctor: You're young. Shouldn't you be doing, you know, young things, with young people?
Clara: You mean like you, for instance? Down, boy.
The 11th Doctor: No. No. I didn't. Shut up.
Kizlet: No one loves cattle more than Burger King.
The 11th Doctor: I rode this in the antigrav Olympics, 2074. I came last.
Man with Chips: The building is in lock-down. I'm afraid you're not coming in.
The 11th Doctor: Did you even hear the word, antigrav?
The 11th Doctor: But you don't run out on the people you care about. Wish I was more like that. You know, the thing about a time machine, you can run away all you like and still be home in time for tea, so what do you say? Anywhere. All of time and space, right outside those doors.
Clara: Is this actually what you do? Do you just crook your finger and people just jump in your snog box and fly away?
The 11th Doctor: It is not a snog box.
Clara: I'll be the judge of that.

Trivia
====================================
The title of this episode is a reference to the phone incorporated into the TARDIS police box disguise, and to the "St John Ambulance" logo on the door of this version of the TARDIS. The "Bells" part is referring to the police box phone ringing. It is also a reference to the nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons.
The title was originally announced as The Bells of St John, in keeping with the actual abbreviated spelling of "St John" on the logo.
To keep the reappearance of the Great Intelligence a surprise, Richard E. Grant was not credited in Radio Times. He was, however, originally listed on the BBC website, but was subsequently taken down.
The password for the Maitland family's wi-fi, 'rycbar123' is both an acronym of 'run you clever boy and remember' and a reference to the fact that this is the third version of Clara to appear.
Available on Amazon.
