- The Doctor: There's a horror movie called Alien? That's really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.
- Ashley: [sees the Tardis] What is that?
- The Doctor: That's how Clara and I got here.
- Ashley: In a box?
- The Doctor: Technically, in a telephone kiosk.
- Ashley: [laughs] How?
- The Doctor: Because it's a spaceship in disguise. Do you know what the big problem is in telling fantasy and reality apart?
- Ashley: What?
- The Doctor: They're both ridiculous.
- Danny: Do you know why people get together at Christmas? Because every time they do, it might be the last time. Every Christmas is last Christmas, and this is ours.
- The Doctor: Danny isn't real. Danny Pink died saving the world.
- Danny: I really didn't.
- The Doctor: I'm sorry. I thought there was a way back for him, but I was wrong. I can't change that. He's dead.
- Danny: I didn't die saving the world, Doctor, I died saving Clara. The rest of you just got lucky. How long has she got?
- The Doctor: Minutes, till it's irreversible.
- Danny: Well then, get out the way.
- [the Doctor moves aside and Danny walks up to Clara]
- Danny: I'm a dream and you know I am, right?
- [Clara nods]
- Danny: Right, one thing. But it's important. It's a very important thing. That is totally how you guessed all of my presents.
- Clara Oswald: I miss you.
- Danny: Five minutes.
- Clara Oswald: What?
- Danny: You can miss me for five minutes a day. And you'd better do it properly. You'd better be sad. I expect my five. But all the rest of the time, Clara, all the rest of the time, every single second, you just get the hell on with it. Clear?
- Clara Oswald: Don't you soldier me.
- Danny: Do as you're told.
- The Doctor: Brave.
- Danny: Dead already. How does she wake up?
- The Doctor: I don't know. Just try. Accept this isn't real, and try.
- Danny: Do it. For me.
- Clara Oswald: [crying] When I wake up, you won't be there.
- Danny: Do you know why people get together at Christmas? Because every time they do, it might be the last time. Every Christmas is last Christmas, and this is ours. This was a bonus. This is extra. But now it's time to wake up.
- [Danny and Clara kiss]
- Santa Claus: I've got three words for you. Don't make me use them.
- Clara Oswald: What three words?
- Santa Claus: My Little Pony.
- Clara Oswald: Doctor. Am I young?
- The Doctor: No idea.
- [Gets a mirror for her to look in]
- The Doctor: Is that any good?
- Clara Oswald: Oh, that's good.
- The Doctor: The Tardis is outside.
- Clara Oswald: So?
- The Doctor: So, all of time and all of space is sitting out there. A big blue box. Please, don't even argue.
- [Clara thinks about it with a big grin on her face, then gives him her hand and kisses his cheek]
- Clara Oswald: Merry Christmas, Doctor.
- The Doctor: Merry Christmas, Clara Oswald.
- The Doctor: [to Clara] There's something you have to ask yourself, and it's important. Your life may depend on it. Everybody's life. Do you really believe in Santa Claus?
- [first lines]
- [Clara is awakened by a clatter from the roof]
- Santa Claus: [from somewhere outside] Moron! Numbskull! Elf!
- Ian: That's racist.
- Santa Claus: Of course it's not racist. You are an elf.
- Santa Claus: [realizes Clara sees the crashed sleigh and elves] Oh, sorry about this, girl. We... we are just three passing perfectly ordinary roof people, doing some emergency roof things.
- Ian: [to Clara] Yeah, your mum and dad, one day a year, for no particular reason, just out of the blue, suddenly decide to give you a great big pile of presents.
- Wolf: No, no, no. Because they love you so much. It's a lovely story dear.
- Ian: Yeah, but it's time to start living in the real world, yeah?
- Santa Claus: [looks in a book] Okay, right, Clara Oswald. Mostly favours travel books, science kits. Strict ban on hair products, marginal for the naughty list, 1993.
- [tutting]
- Santa Claus: Believer until the age of nine.
- The Doctor: You all right?
- Shona: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to talk sense into beardy-weirdy.
- [points at Santa Claus]
- The Doctor: You don't seem much like a scientist.
- Shona: Well, that's a bit rude, coming from a magician.
- The Doctor: Why are you out here? What brought you to the North Pole?
- Shona: Long story, isn't it?
- The Doctor: [the Doctor joins Bellows at a monitor] What am I looking at?
- Bellows: Footage from a week ago. A side-expedition to our main mission.
- The Doctor: What is your main mission?
- Bellows: Long story.
- The Doctor: [about Danny Pink] You never told me he was dead. You said he made it back.
- Clara Oswald: I lied. I lied so you'd go home to Gallifrey instead of fussing about me.
- The Doctor: I never found Gallifrey. I lied so you'd stay with Danny.
- Shona: Reindeer can't fly. They just can't.
- Santa Claus: No... no they can't. It's a scientific impossibility. That's why I feed mine magic carrots.
- The Doctor: Just focus on this, do you believe in Santa Claus?
- Clara Oswald: I've always believed in Santa Claus. But he looks a little different to me.
- [gives the Doctor a big hug]
- Clara Oswald: You're a fairy tale! I grew out of fairy tales.
- Santa Claus: Did you, Clara? Did you really?
- [the Tardis materializes]
- The Doctor: I want you to picture it this way. Somebody has put a straw right through your skull and is drinking you. You should be screaming with agony, but there's anesthetic. Everything around you right now, even Danny, especially Danny, that's the anesthetic.
