HELLO, GOODBYE

The first and last words spoken on screen by the companions to the Doctor and vice versa.


Susan
First

Susan: "There you are, grandfather."
Doctor: "Close the door!"
An Unearthly Child
n.b. Obviously not the first things the Doctor and Susan said to each other, merely the first things we heard.

Last
Susan: "But Grandfather! I belong with you!"
Doctor: "Not any longer, Susan. You're still my grandchild, and always will be. You're a woman too. I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own. With David, you'll be able to find those roots, and live normally like any woman should do. Believe me my dear, your future lies with David, and not with a silly old buffer like me. One day I shall come back...yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I'm not mistaken in mine. Goodbye Susan. Goodbye my dear."

Last
Vicki: "Steven is safe. Katarina will bring him. Come on...we've got to talk."
Doctor (to Vicki & Katarina): "Now you're sure it's just the shoulder, hmm? Right, well, steady, steady. Hold tight, hold on. Yes. Careful. Just a minute. Careful. Careful, Vicki. Oh, dear, dear. This business. There we are. Now, come on, bring him in. Bring him in there. Gently and carefully. That's it, that's it. Put him on the couch."
