* The Doctor gets bored watching the Sontarans do their [[CrowdChant "SONTAR-HA!" "SONTAR-HA!"]]s, mutters, "Give me a break" and rolls his eyes, and turns the TV over to cartoons. The soldiers are shocked how calm he is about it. One wonders if, when he was told of this, the Brigadier nearly died laughing? These soldiers can barely handle ''one'' Doctor. According to the extended universe, The Brigadier has ''met all thirteen of them!''

-->'''The Doctor:''' ''[cornered by Lucius Petrus Dextrus and his guards]'' Oh. ''Morituri te salutant.''\\

* Donna [[BrickJoke still has her mother's car keys]] and she packed a crapload of stuff in the car just in case. [[PlanetOfHats Planet of the Hats]], Donna Noble is ready for you!

* While separately eavesdropping on Miss Foster talking to a captive Penny Carter, Donna and the Doctor see each other for the first time in ages.

* Despite the [[TearJerker horrible tragedy]] that comes after, Donna's last two minutes as the Doctor-Donna are pretty funny, specifically when she starts babbling about Charlie Chaplin.

* After Jenny seduces a guard to get them out of their cell, Donna offer to use her "feminine wiles" to distract another guard. The Doctor asks her to save her wiles for later, then distacts him with a wind-up mouse.

** Steven Moffatt was, apparently, ''very'' proud that he got to make the gay joke after all these years!

* Donna yelling at Jenny when she calls Martha "collateral damage" though it also counts as a MomentOfAwesome.

* Donna offering to use her "feminine wiles" to distract the guard. The Doctor asks her to save her wiles for later. Jenny does the job instead.

'''The Doctor:''' ''[appears behind her]'' Oh, that'll be the day...

-->'''The Doctor:''' Good 'ole Poirot. ''[reclines in a chair]'' Yep, I've been to Belgium. Yeah... I remember. ''[flashback of the Doctor, carrying a bow and arrows, hacking his way through underbrush with a machete]'' I was deep in the Ardennes, trying to find Charlemagne. He'd been kidnapped by an insane computer.\\

The soldiers are shocked how calm he is about it. One wonders if, when he was told of this, the Brigadier nearly died laughing?

* The Doctor and Donna step out of the TARDIS, to be confronted by a bunch of Judoon who bark at them in the Judoon lingo... only for the Doctor to snap right back at them in the same language!
** The TARDIS usually translates everything. The fact that she ''doesn't'' translate implies that neither side is being... how shall we phrase it? ...civil... to one another.
* The Shadow Architect declares that the Doctor will lead them to war against whomever stole the Earth. The Doctor looks at her shiftily and [[BlatantLies says he'll just get his key]], leading to the TARDIS dematerializing while she just shouts helplessly.

-->'''Donna:''' Yeah, but think about it. There's a murder, a mystery, and Agatha Christie.
-->'''The Doctor:''' So? Happens to me all the time. ''[He smells the slime then puts in under Donna's nose]''
-->'''Donna:''' No, but isn't that a bit weird? Agatha Christie didn't walk around surrounded by murders. Not really. [[DramaticIrony I mean that's like meeting Charles Dickens, and he's surrounded by ghosts. At Christmas.]]
-->'''The Doctor:''' [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E3TheUnquietDead Well...]]
-->'''Donna:''' Oh, come on! It's not like we could drive across country and find Enid Blyton having tea with Noddy. Could we? Noddy's not real. Is he? Tell me there's no Noddy!
-->'''The Doctor:''' There's no Noddy.

* The Doctor reminisces about [[NoodleIncident the last time he was ever in Belgium.]]

-->'''Sister Spurrina:''' You will be silent!
-->'''Donna Noble:''' Listen, sister, You might have eyes on the back of your hands, ''but you’ll have eyes in the back of your head by the time I’ve finished with you!'' LET ME GO! ''[The Sisters by now look clearly fed up with their prisoner]''
-->'''Sister Spurrina:''' ''[prepares to plunge her dagger into Donna's chest]'' '''''THIS PRATTLING VOICE SHALL CEASE FOREVER!'''''\\

-->'''Sylvia:''' ...And where’ve you been these past few days, lady, after that silly little trick with the car keys? I phoned Veena and she said she hadn’t seen hide nor hair.
-->'''Donna:''' I’ve just been travelling.
-->'''Sylvia:''' ''[scoffs]'' Oh, hark at her, Michael Palin. ''[Donna and Wilf share a look, and he breaks out laughing]'' Are you staying for tea, because I haven’t got anything in. I’ve been trying to keep your granddad on that macrobiotic diet, but he sneaks off and gets pork pies at the petrol station. Don’t deny it, I’ve seen the wrappers in the car. Oh, I don’t miss a trick. Now then, what were you going to tell me? What don’t I know?

''[At that moment, the Doctor's fiddling with the ATMOS converter in the car causes it to activate, emitting thick gas]''\\

'''Donna:''' I can't. I'm busy.\\

'''Donna:''' I'm in ''church!''\\
'''Sylvia:''' What are you doing in church?\\

'''Wilf:''' ''[overhearing]'' What's she in church for?\\

'''Donna:''' ''[eyes widen and jaw drops for a good ten seconds, before...]'' OH. MY. GOD!\\

'''Donna:''' ''[pointing at herself]'' It's me!\\

'''Donna:''' ''[getting more and more extravagant as she mimes]'' I was reading... on the internet. This place is weird. Crept along... Heard them talking. ''[mimes peeking through the window]'' You! ''[she gestures and looks toward Miss Foster, only for both of them to realize she's noticed them]''\\

--->'''Sister Spurrina:''' ''[holding a dagger over Donna]'' '''''THIS PRATTLING VOICE SHALL CEASE FOREVER!'''''\\
'''The Doctor:''' ''[behind her]'' Oh, that'll be the day...

* DelayedReaction:

** Nor is she with the Doctor returning:
--->'''Sylvia:''' I don't know, men and their cars! Sometimes I think if I was a car... ''[she catches sight of the Doctor, working on her ATMOS]'' Oh, it's you! Doctor... what was it?\\
'''The Doctor:''' ''[waving, his head buried under the hood]'' Yeah, that's me.\\

'''Sylvia:''' Dad! It's the man from the wedding! When you were laid up with Spanish flu! I'm warning you, last time that man turned up it was a disaster!

* This episode becomes even funnier when you remember that River ''sent the message to Twelve.'' Can you imagine Twelve... in a library full of books... with ''giant eyebrows of death''? The Vashta Narada would die of terror...

'''The Doctor:''' I'm a ''time traveler''. I ''point and laugh'' at archaeologists.\\

'''Jenny:''' [[ITakeOffenseToTheLastOne I'm not a monkey!]] …or a child.
