Zachary Cross Flane: Keep an eye on her.
Danny Bartock: It's all right, Rose. We're safe.
Rose: I'm not going anywhere! Get me out of this thing. Get me out!
Zachary Cross Flane: [as the rocket blasts off] And liftoff!
Rose: [Grabbing a gun and pointing it at the Captain] Take me back to the planet. [No response] Take me back!
Zachary Cross Flane: Or what?
Rose: [Quietly] Or I'll shoot.
Zachary Cross Flane: Would you, though? Would you really? Is that what your Doctor would want?
Rose: [slowly puts the gun down]

The Doctor: ...Maybe we opened the prison, but not the cell.
Ida Scott: We should go down. I'd go. What about you?
The Doctor: Oh, oh in a second! But then again... That's so human. Where angels fear to tread... Even now, standing on the edge, it's that feeling you get, yea? Right at the back of your head. That impulse... That strange little impulse... That mad little voice saying, "Go on! Go on! Go on!... Go over! Go on!..." Maybe it's relying on that... For once in my life, Officer Scott, I'm going to say... retreat. Ugh, now I know I'm getting old. [speaks over comm] Rose, we're coming back.

The Beast: [in the possesed body of Toby Zed] I am the rage and the vile and the voracity. I am the Prince and the Fallen. I am the Enemy, I am the Sin and the fear and darkness. I shall never die. The thought of me is forever; in the bleeding hearts of men, in their vanity and obsecrate and lust. Nothing shall ever destroy me. Nothing!
Rose Tyler: [Rose picks up a bolt gun and prepares to shoot the cockpit's front window] Go to Hell. [she fires, the window brakes and then she unbuckles the seatbelt were the possesed Toby is sitting in. The Beast gets sucked out into the K37 Gem 5 black hole and screams in agony]

Mistakes/Goofs
- Goof (factual errors): Despite the comments of the Doctor and others, it is quite possible to establish a stable orbit around a black hole (or any other large mass in space), given appropriate velocity and distance. (Our own Sun is, in fact, in orbit around a super-massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.)
Trivia
- The Ood's communication balls/weapons are practical props when the Ood are holding them, but CGI when they are being used as weapons and shocking people.
- SPOILER: The effect of Toby/the Beast floating in space was achieved by having the actor swimming underwater and removing the air bubbles.
- Torchwood Reference: When Captain Zachary Cross Flane addresses the Beast, he states that he is "representing the Torchwood archive."
- The Doctor's quote "Oh... the stuff of legends." was the last scene filmed with David Tennant as The Doctor.
- This episode was watched by 6.080 million viewers on its original transmission.
