when there is nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire

“I was hoping you’d look a little less injured when I next saw you, Ruby.”
“Thirty years is a long time for a girl to stay out of trouble, Nick. You know me. Always getting down and dirty with the animals.”
“You could’ve died.”
“Yes, but I didn’t. Did you miss me?”
”Always.”

‘Doctor Who’ & ‘Upstairs, downstairs’ crossover || Persie as a companion of the Ninth Doctor
i.
- Who are you? What… What are you doing here?
- I’m The Doctor. And I’m here to deal with a situation.
- What situation?
- I could try to explain it to you, but I am pretty sure you won’t understand. Now… Can I borrow your horse?
ii.
- Where are we?
- London, 1941. The war machine is still going on and it won’t stop anytime soon. Look around you, Persie. Do you like what you see? So much pain and destruction. Isn’t it what you wanted?
iii.
- When I say ‘do not touch it’, it means ‘do not touch it!’ And it also means ‘don’t use it as an ashtray’! Once again I am stuck with a stupid ape. Fantastic.
- Excuse me! I am not stupid. And I’m not an ape!
- No, you’re not. You’re more like a cat. Independent and lazy, not to mention maddeningly stubborn.
- Thank you. And aren’t you just too charming for your own good? But enough of the small talk. Where are we going today, chauffeur?
- I am not a chauffeur!
- You take me from one place to another. In your time machine. It makes you a chauffeur! My chauffeur.
iv.
- You live in a nice house, with servants ready to fulfill your every wish. You have a family, a sister who loves you, little cousins… It’s a perfect life, why don’t you want it? What are you running from?
- And what about you? You look and behave like a soldier, but you don’t fight. You are so angry all the time… Sometimes you look like you want to put everything on fire. And it wouldn’t be the first time, would it? What are you running from, Doctor?
This woman is ridiculously talented. In a ‘From now on I will watch everything she is ever in’ way.
