Don't worry. Even though everyone's abandoned me, I haven't been alone for 65 years.
Ruby

Kate
Kate: We're the Unified Intelligence Task Force, created to investigate extraterrestials. And the supernatural. Things seem to be turning that way more and more lately.

Kate: With him, despite him, against him sometimes. And I adore him.
Carla: I'm not gonna tell you again, Ruby. Stop calling and go away.

Ruby: T-the blood?
Old Woman: Do you know why there are so many picturesque little castles in Wales?
Ruby: No.
Old Woman: They were torture centres set up by the English, to rule with fear.
Ruby: Following's the wrong word, because she never approaches. She just is there, in the distance.
Old Woman: I don't know a synonym for keeping your distance. I suppose if I coined a new word from the Latin, it would be semperdistans, for always distant. She is semperdistans from you.
Ruby: Can you ask her if she knows the Doctor?
Hiker: Oh, do you need a doctor?
Ruby: Have I seen you before?
Hiker: I don't know. Have you?
Ruby: No, it was a different... never mind.
