"Your world would be much better off if you lost me."
"Don't say things like that. What difference does it even make? Either way, I'm travelling with you, and I'm in danger. One way we'll both just...

"You're going straight on the naught step!" one of the robots scolds them as though they are children, escorting them back through the spaceship. Cherry raises her eyebrows, sharing an amused look with Rory and the Doctor. These robots are really not that intimidating considering the size of them and the enormous guns on their shoulders. They just don't have the right attitude.
"What's the escape plan?" Brian leans closer to them, speaking in a hushed voice.
"Why do we want to escape?" the Doctor turns to him, puzzled.
"They have us hostage," Brian explains the predicament they have found themselves in to the Time Lord, unsure why he is so confused.
"They're taking us somewhere. We might learn from it," Rory says to his dad and the Doctor grins.
"Oh, you see? He's so clever," the Doctor pinches Rory's cheek, wiggling it endearingly. "I've missed you, Rory."
"Don't do that," Rory says, holding his hand up to the Doctor as Cherry laughs.
"What if they kill us?" Brian asks.
"They wouldn't do that!" the Doctor says certainly, turning to the robots, and he smacks one of them on the chest with a beaming smile. Cherry winces as the sound of his hand hitting the metal rings through the spaceship. "You're not going to kill us, are you, Rusty?"
"Who are you calling Rusty?" Robot One says, clearly taking offence at the Doctor's words.
"Have you seen yourselves lately?"
"You try being on this ship for two millennia," Robot One says to the Doctor. "See how your paintwork does."
"Don't listen to him. He's just being mean because we captured him," Robot Two assures Robot One.
"Oh my goodness," Brian interjects suddenly, facing away from the robots. The rest of them turn to see what he is alarmed by and their eyes go wide as they see a Triceratops slowly walking up to them. The Doctor lights up when he sees the animal, and Brian and Rory back up a little bit.
"Ooo! Herbivore, Brian, don't panic!" the Doctor assures them that the dinosaur will probably not try to eat them and they all relax a little. "Triceratops. Ha! Beautiful!"
"It's so cute," Cherry says, stepping forward to get a better look at the three horned animal with yellowish skin and the sweetest little eyes.
"Shall I shoot it?" Robot Two asks when the dinosaur is right in front of them. Cherry carefully reaches out with a shaking hand and smooths it over the side of the Triceratops' face. It leans into her hand, stretching out its neck as she looks back at the Doctor with a huge smile on her face.
"We're not supposed to shoot the creatures, stupid!" Robot One tells the other one off, and Cherry is glad to hear that they will not be injuring the beautiful animal.
