• [last lines] 

  The Doctor : [talking to the vault]  Look, I know you miss it all. But I'm stuck here too, you know. We're both prisoners. So what do you say, dinner? And I've got a new story for you, too. There's a haunted house and wood lice from space. And lots of young people get eaten.

  [an up-tempo piano version of "Pop Goes the Weasel" comes from the vault] 

  The Doctor : I'm coming in.

• [Für Elise is heard coming from the vault] 

  Nardole : A piano? You've put a piano in there? Why?

  The Doctor : [dismissing him]  Good night.

  Nardole : Oh, you don't learn, do you, sir?

• [extra scene] 

  Landlord : Can you help her?

  The Doctor : Tell me what happens.

  Landlord : It was just before the war. Eliza was dying... nothing could be done... until these creatures saved her. At first, it was a miracle.

  The Doctor : And then, they needed food.

  Landlord : Twenty years later, the creatures grew dormant.

  Landlord : [voice cracking]  Eliza was fading...

  Landlord : [chokes back a sob, composes, then continues]  then a vagrant broke into the house, fell asleep, and the lice... absorbed him! I was horrified! But Eliza grew strong, and I realized what I had to do. It is regrettable, but nobody really misses the students. They're simply assumed to have run away.

  The Doctor : And you think your daughter is more important than all of them.

  Landlord : Yes, of course! At this moment, you're concerned about your granddaughter, and you would do whatever it took to keep the person you love from death, wouldn't you?

  The Doctor : Yes, I would.

  Landlord : Then you understand why I must take this course of action!

  The Doctor : Oh, I do. I would tear the sky apart. I would reduce the solar system to the tiniest cinder for anyone I love. But if I was about to do that, if I'd got to that point of desperation, then I would have one hope, one desire:

  Landlord : Yes?

  The Doctor : That someone would stop me.

• [extra scene] 

  Bill : But yours is really different. Just feels... warmer.

  The Doctor : She won, got him under control. Some houses feel friendly, and some don't. Maybe now we know why.

  Bill : What do you mean?

  The Doctor : I assumed these Dryads were alien. Maybe they're not. Maybe they're everywhere. Every creak, every wall from this or worse. Oh!

  The Doctor : [whispering]  I changed the title deeds. I'm getting rather good at that.

  [Bill giggles] 

  The Doctor : Guess who owns the house now?

  Bill : Me?

  The Doctor : Better. Me.

  Bill : Time Lord and landlord, yeah?

  The Doctor : Yeah. Isn't that... awesome?
