[The children lurch away and obey him.] I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words.
Steven Moffat

Steven Moffat
It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool.
Steven Moffat
Keep this straight in your head: we are not fighting an alien invasion - we're leading a revolution. And today the battle begins.
Steven Moffat

Steven Moffat
