"I hate you." The Doctor joked as he, once again, lost monopoly

"No you don't." She smiled. For his massive intellect he sure didn't strategize well.

"Maybe I do." He replied turning his head and smiling by accident.

"I found the wrench." She responded laughing. "I can hide it."

"You wouldn't." He faked a gasp.

"I would." She played along

"Devious."

The Doctor was finally, after two weeks, able to take off his cast. He wasn't too happy to not be able to wear his trousers and had had to wear shorts instead. Clara had laughed at his bright blue shorts mixed with a dress shirt, suit jacket and bowtie.
