(Doctor Who: Father's Day) % Pete Tyler: [to Rose] So, if this Doctor's not you boyfriend, and I have to say, I'm glad, 'cause, you know, being your dad and all, I think he's a bit old for you. [Rose bursts out laughing] (Doctor Who: Father's Day) % Pete Tyler: [Rose has travelled back in time and saved her father's life when he was supposed to have died when she was just a baby. By doing so she has inadvertently doomed the human race] Your friend... he said "This is all your fault." What did he mean by that? Rose: Dunno. It's just... it just is. Pete Tyler: [hesitantly] I gave you my car keys. You don't give your car keys to a complete stranger. [slowly begins walking towards her] I trusted you, the moment I met you. "A wound in time". You called me Dad. [gets closer] You've got my eyes, Jackie's attitude. You sound like her when you shout. [he reaches out and tentatively brushes the hair from her eyes but then gets shy and removes his hand. Rose immediately takes his hand and replaces it on her cheek] It is! It's you! You're my Rose! You're my Rose grown up! [he hugs her] Rose: [starts to cry] Dad! My Dad! My Daddy! (Doctor Who: Father's Day) % [first lines] Rose: [voiceover] Peter Alan Tyler, my Dad.

Died the 7th of November, 1987. (Doctor Who: Father's Day) % The Doctor: Know how long you can knock around space without having to bump into Earth? Rose: Five days, or is that just when we're out of milk? The Doctor: All the species in all the universe and it has to come out of a cow. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % The Doctor: [To a stray kitten] One day, just one day, maybe, I'm going to meet somebody who gets the whole "don't wander off" thing. Nine hundred years of phone box travel and it's the only thing left that surprises me. [The TARDIS phone rings] You're ringing. How can you be ringing? You're not even a real phone! (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % Capt. Jack Harkness: Could you switch off your cell phone? No, seriously, it interferes with my [spaceship] instruments. Rose: [as she turns it off] You know, no one ever believes that. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % The Doctor: [to Nancy] 1941. Right now, not very far from here, the German war machine is rolling up the map of Europe. Country after country, falling like dominoes. Nothing can stop it, nothing. Until one tiny, damp little island says "No. No, not here." A mouse in front of a lion. You're amazing, the lot of you. I don't know what you do to Hitler, but you frighten the hell out of me. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % The Doctor: And I'm looking for a blonde in a Union Jack. A specific one, mind you, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % Rose: You used to be a Time Agent. Now... you're some kind of freelancer. Captain Jack Harkness: Oh, that's a little harsh. I like to think of myself as a criminal. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % Captain Jack Harkness: So... when you say 'your companion', how disappointed should I be? Rose: OK. We're standing in mid-air on a space-ship during a German air-raid. Do you really think now's a good time to be coming on to me? Captain Jack Harkness: Perhaps not. Rose: It was just a suggestion. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % The Doctor: You're very sick. Doctor Constantine: Dying, I should think. I just haven't been able to find the time. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % The Doctor: [Nancy locks the door on the Child] What's this, then? It's never easy being the only child left out in the cold, you know. Nancy: I suppose you'd know. The Doctor: I do, actually, yes. Nancy: It's not exactly a child. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % The Doctor: Excuse me, excuse me. Could I have everyone's attention, just for a mo? Be very quick. Hello! It might seem like a stupid question, but has anything fallen from the sky recently? (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % Doctor Constantine: Before this war began, I was a father and a grandfather. Now I'm neither; but I'm still a doctor. The Doctor: Yeah. Know the feeling. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % [Captain Jack has just greeted the Doctor as "Mr. Spock"] The Doctor: Mister Spock? Rose: What was I supposed to say? You don't have a name! Don't you ever get tired of "Doctor"? Doctor Who? The Doctor: Nine centuries in, I'm coping. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % [on the Doctor and Rose's outfits] Captain Jack Harkness: Oh, should've known, the way you guys are blending in with the local colour. I mean, Flag Girl was bad enough, but U-boat Captain? (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % [first lines] Rose: What's the emergency? The Doctor: It's mauve. Rose: Mauve? The Doctor: Universally recognised colour for danger. Rose: What happened to red? The Doctor: That's just humans. By everyone else's standards, red's camp. Oh, the misunderstandings! All those red alerts, all that dancing. (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % Captain Jack Harkness: On my signal, head for the door. NOW! [points a banana at the child like a gun] Child: Mummy! The Doctor: [points actual gun at wall and creates door] Go now! And don't drop the banana! Captain Jack Harkness: Why not? The Doctor: It's a good source of potassium! Captain Jack Harkness: [grabs the gun back] Gimme that! (Doctor Who: The Empty Child) % [The Doctor, Capt. Jack and Rose are cornered by the empty children.] The Doctor: Go to your room. Go to your room! I mean it. I'm very, very angry with you. I'm very, very cross! Go to your room! [The children lurch away.] I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % The Doctor: Sonic blaster, 51st Century- Weapon factories at Villengard? Capt. Jack Harkness: Yeah. You've been to the factories? The Doctor: Once. Jack: They're gone now, destroyed. Main reactor went critical. Vaporised the lot. The Doctor: Like I said, once. There's a banana grove there now. I like bananas. Bananas are good. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Jack: [incredulously] Who has a sonic screwdriver? The Doctor: I do! Rose: [to herself] Lights! Jack: Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, "Ooo, this could be a little more sonic"? The Doctor: What, you've never been bored? Rose: There's gotta' be a light switch! Doctor: [to Jack] Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up? (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Rose: Are the words "distract the guard" heading in my general direction? Jack: I don't think that's such a good idea. Rose: Don't worry, I can handle it. Jack: I've gotten to know Algie quite well since I've been in town. Trust me, you're not his type. I'll distract him. Don't wait up. [Jack moves off. Rose stares after him, pole-axed, whilst the Doctor grins smugly] The Doctor: Don't worry, he's a 51st-century guy. He's just a little more flexible when it comes to 'dancing'. Rose: How flexible? The Doctor: Well, by his time, you lot are spread over half the galaxy. Rose: Meaning? The Doctor: So many species, so little time. Rose: What, that's what we do when we get out there? That's our mission? We seek new life and- The Doctor: Dance. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % The Doctor: Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once! Everybody lives!! (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Woman: [having been healed by the nanogenes] My leg's grown back! When I come to the hospital, I had one leg! Dr Constantine: Well, there is a war on. Is it possible you miscounted? (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % The Doctor: History says there was an explosion here. Who am I to argue with history? Rose: Usually the first in line. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Rose: Look at you, beaming away like you're Father Christmas. The Doctor: Who says I'm not? Red bicycle when you were twelve. Rose: What? The Doctor: And everybody lives! I need more days like this. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Jack: [monologuing to his navigating system] Last time I was sentenced to death, I ordered four hyper-vodkas for my breakfast. All a bit of a blur after that. Woke up in bed with both my executioners. Lovely couple. They stayed in touch. Can't say that about most executioners. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Rose: OK, so he's disappeared into thin air. Why is it always the great looking ones who do that? The Doctor: I'm making an effort not to be insulted. Rose: I mean... men. The Doctor: Okay. That's... that really helped. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Captain Jack: [when he realizes his Sonic Blaster's stopped working] Damn it! It's the special features, they really drain the battery. Rose Tyler: The battery? [both run through the door the Doctor just opened; after she stops] It's so lame. Captain Jack: I was going to send for another one but *somebody's* [looking at the Doctor] got to blow up the factory. Rose: Oh, I know. First day I met him, he blew my job up. That's practically how he communicates. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % The Doctor: I've travelled with a lot of people, but you're setting new records for jeopardy friendly. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % The Doctor: Hanging from a rope, thousands of feet above London, not a cut, not a bruise. Rose: Yeah, I know. Captain Jack fixed me up. The Doctor: Oh, we're calling him Captain Jack now, are we? Rose: Well, his name's Jack and he's a captain. The Doctor: He's not really a captain, Rose. Rose: Do you know what I think? I think you're experiencing 'Captain Envy'. You'll find your feet at the end of your legs. You may care to move them. The Doctor: If ever he was a captain, he's been defrocked. Rose: Yeah? Shame I missed that! [the Doctor and Rose have been teleported to Jack's ship] Captain Jack: Actually, I quit. Nobody takes my frock! Most people notice when they've been teleported. You guys are so sweet! (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Captain Jack: Make yourself comfortable. Carry on with whatever it was you were... doing. The Doctor: We were talking about dancing. Captain Jack: It didn't look like talking. Rose: It didn't feel like dancing. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Rose: Doesn't the universe implode or something if you dance? The Doctor: Well, I've got the moves, but I wouldn't want to boast. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % The Doctor: There isn't a little boy born who wouldn't tear the world apart to save his mummy. And this little boy can. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % The Doctor: [identifying Jack's weapon] Sonic Blaster. Fifty-first century. Weapons factory at Villengard? Captain Jack: You've been to the factories? The Doctor: Once. Captain Jack: Well, they're gone now, destroyed. Main reactor went critical, vaporized the lot. The Doctor: Like I said. Once. [looking over at Rose; matter-of-factly] There's a banana grove there now. [looks at Jack; smiling] I like bananas. Bananas are good. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % [when asked by Rose to dance] The Doctor: Rose, I'm trying to resonate concrete... (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Nancy: Yes, I am your mummy. I will always be your mummy. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % The Doctor: Funny little human brains... How do you get around in those things? Rose: When he's stressed, he likes to insult species. The Doctor: Rose, I'm thinking. Rose: Cuts himself shaving, does half an hour on life forms he's cleverer than. (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % The Doctor: [on Jack] So, where'd you pick this one up, then? Rose: Doctor... Captain Jack: She was hanging from a barrage balloon, I had an invisible spaceship. [smiling] I never stood a chance. [Rose slowly smiles, obviously flattered] (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % The Doctor: Just this once, Rose, everybody lives! (Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances) % Mickey: [to Rose, in reference to Jack and the Doctor, respectively] So what are you doing in Cardiff, and who the hell's Jumpin' Jack Flash? I mean, I don't mind you hanging out with Big Ears up here- The Doctor: Oi! Mickey: [to the Doctor] Look in a mirror. [continues] But this guy, I dunno, he's kinda... Captain Jack Harkness: [grins].... Handsome? Mickey: More like cheesy. Jack: Early 21st century slang, is "cheesy" good or bad? Mickey: It's bad. Jack: But bad means good, isn't that right? (Doctor Who: Boom Town) % Cathy Salt: [talking about mysterious deaths connected to the "Blaidd Drwg" project] And then just recently Mr. Cleaver, the government's nuclear advisor? Margaret Blaine: Slipped on an icy patch. Cathy Salt: He was decapitated! Margaret Blaine: It was a very icy patch. (Doctor Who: Boom Town) % [the four have just exited the TARDIS] Mickey: That old lady's staring. Jack : [Suggestively to Doctor] Probably wondering what four people were doing in a small box. Mickey: [Disdainful look at Jack] What are you captain of? The Innuendo Squad? 'Jack: [Holds up hands to form a "W"] Whatever! (Doctor Who: Boom Town) % [Discussing the plan] Jack: [fast] Right, then. According to Intelligence, our target is the last surviving member of the Slitheen family -a criminal sect from the planet Raxacoricofallapatorius- masquerading as a human being, zipped inside a skin-suit. Okay, plan of attack: we assume a basic 57/56 strategy, covering all available exits on the ground floor. Doctor, you go face to face, that'll designate exit one; I'll cover exit two; Rose, you exit three; Mickey Smith, you take exit four. Have you got that? The Doctor: Excuse me, who's in charge? Jack: Sorry. Awaiting orders, sir. The Doctor: Right, here's the plan. [beat] Like he said, nice plan. Anything else? (Doctor Who: Boom Town) % The Doctor: Hello, I've come to see the Lord Mayor. Secretary: Have you got an appointment? The Doctor: No, just an old friend passing by, bit of a surprise. Can't wait to see her face! Secretary: Well, she's just having a cup of tea. The Doctor: Just go in there and tell her "the Doctor" would like to see her. Secretary: "The Doctor" who? The Doctor: Just "the Doctor", tell her exactly that, "the Doctor". Secretary: Hang on a tic. [The secretary goes inside. There is the sound of a cup dropping and the secretary returns.] Secretary: The Lord Mayor says "thank you f-for popping by." She'd love to have a chat, but, um, she's up to her eyes in paperwork. Perhaps you would like to make an appointment for next week... The Doctor: [happily] She's climbing out the window, isn't she? Secretary: Yes, she is. (Doctor Who: Boom Town) % Jack: She's got a teleport! That's cheating! Now we'll never get her! Rose: Oh, the Doctor's very good at teleports. [Doctor uses sonic-screwdriver to bring Margaret back three times, each time closer than she was before.] The Doctor: I could do this all day. Margaret Slitheen: [out of breath] This is persecution. Why can't you leave me alone? What did I ever do to you? The Doctor: You tried to kill me and destroy this entire planet. Margaret Slitheen: Apart from that. (Doctor Who: Boom Town) % Margaret Slitheen: We're in Cardiff. London doesn't care, the southwest coast could fall into the sea and they wouldn't notice.... Oh. I sound like a Welshman. God help me, I've gone native. (Doctor Who: Boom Town) % Captain Jack: Who the hell are you? Mickey Smith: What do you mean who the hell am I? Who the hell are you? (Doctor Who: Boom Town) % Captain Jack: Aww, sweet, look at these two. How come I never get any of that? The Doctor: Buy me a drink first. Captain Jack: You're such hard work. The Doctor: But worth it. [He grins in an extremely self-satisfied way] (Doctor Who: Boom Town) % Rose Tyler: We've got a prisoner. The police box is really a police box. Margaret Slitheen: You're not just police, though. Since you're taking me to my death, that makes *you* my executioners. Each and every one of you. Mickey Smith: Well *you* deserve it. Margaret Slitheen: [looks straight at him] You're very quick to say so. And you're very quick to soak your hands in my blood. Which makes you better than me how, exactly? [he says nothing] Long night ahead. [walks away & sits down; finally] Let's see who can look me in the eye. [looks piercingly at each person; none hold eye contact for more than a few seconds; & the Doctor barely even looks up from his work] (Doctor Who: Boom Town) % [The Ninth Doctor finds himself in a replica of the Big Brother house. Dazed, he stumbles into the diary room] Davinadroid: You are live on channel forty-four thousand. Please do not swear. The Doctor: You have got to be kidding.

(Doctor Who: Bad Wolf) % Trin-E: Just stand still and let the Defabricator work its magic. Jack: What's a Defabricator? [Jack's clothes are disintegrated.] Jack: Okay, Defabricator. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Am I naked in front of millions of viewers? Zu-Zana: Absolutely. Jack: Ladies, your viewing figures just went up. (Doctor Who: Bad Wolf) % Jack: Now hold on, ladies, I don't want to have to shoot either one of you. Trin-E: But you're unarmed! Zu-Zana: And you're naked!

(Doctor Who: Bad Wolf) % [The Doctor and the others stare in horror at a mysterious fleet of ships] Jack: That's impossible.... I know those ships. They were destroyed. The Doctor: Obviously they survived. Lynda: Who did? Who are they? The Doctor: Two hundred ships. More than two thousand on board each one. That's about half a million of them. Davitch Pavelle: Half a million what? The Doctor: Daleks. (Doctor Who: Bad Wolf) % Dalek 1: [glances at Rose] We have your associate. You will obey or she will be exterminated! The Doctor: No. [Pause. The Daleks glance at each other in confusion.] Dalek 1: Explain yourself! The Doctor: I said no. Dalek 1: What is the meaning of this negative? The Doctor: It means no. Dalek 1: But she will be destroyed! The Doctor: No! 'Cause this is what I'm going to do: I'm going to rescue her! I'm going to save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet! And then I'm going to save the Earth! And then, just to finish off, I'm going to wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky! Dalek 1: But you have no weapons! No defenses! No plan! The Doctor: Yeah! And doesn't that scare you to death? Rose? Rose: Yes, Doctor? The Doctor: I'm coming to get you. (Doctor Who: Bad Wolf) % The Doctor: [To the Daleks] You know what they call me in the ancient legends of the Dalek homeworld? The Oncoming Storm. You might have removed all your emotions, but I reckon right down deep in your DNA there's one little spark left. And that's fear. Doesn't it just burn when you face me? (Doctor Who: The Parting of the Ways) % The Doctor: [disturbed] Since when did the Daleks have a concept of blasphemy? Emperor Dalek: I reached into the dirt and made new life. I AM THE GOD OF ALL DALEKS! Daleks: Worship him! Worship him! Worship him! The Doctor: [Horrified] They're insane! Hiding in silence for hundreds of years, that's enough to drive anyone mad- but it's worse than that. Driven mad by your own flesh. The stink of humanity. Oh, you hate your own existence. (Doctor Who: The Parting of the Ways) % The Doctor: [as a hologram] This is Emergency Programme One. Rose, now listen; this is important. If this message is activated, then it can only mean one thing. We must be in danger, and I mean fatal. I'm dead, or about to die any second with no chance of escape. Rose: No. The Doctor: And that's okay. Hope it's a good death. But I promised to look after you, and that's what I'm doing. The TARDIS is taking you home. Rose: I won't let you. [Rose protests] The Doctor: And I bet you're fussing and moaning now- typical! But hold on and just listen a bit more. The TARDIS can never return for me. Emergency Programme One means I'm facing an enemy that should never get their hands on this machine. So this is what you should do: let the TARDIS die. Just let this old box gather dust. No one can open it; no one will even notice it. Let it become a strange little thing standing on a street corner. And over the years, the world will move on and the box will be buried. And if you wanna remember me, then you can do one thing, that's all, one thing. [turns to Rose, his voice no longer sounding projected] Have a good life. Do that for me, Rose. Have a fantastic life. (Doctor Who: The Parting of the Ways) % Jackie: Well like you said 200,000 years i'ts way off. Rose: But its not it¿s now that fight is happening right now and he¿s fighting for us the whole planet and I'm just sitting here eating chips. Jackie: Listen to me. God knows I have hated that man but right now I love him and do you know why? Because he did the right thing. He sent you back to me. Rose: But what do I do every day mum? What do I do? Get up, catch the bus, go to work, come back home, eat chips and go to bed. Is that it? Mickey: It¿s what the rest of us do. Rose: But I can¿t. Mickey: Why because you¿re better than us? Rose: No I didn¿t mean that I... but I know what it was. It was a better life. I don¿t mean all the travelling and seeing aliens and spaceships and things that don¿t matter. The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life. You know; he showed you too. That you don¿t just give up, you don¿t just let things happen; you make a stand, you say no, you¿ve got the guts to do what¿s right when everyone else just runs away and I...

Rose: No. Mickey: Ok, if that¿s what you think let,s get this thing open. (Doctor Who: The Parting of the Ways) % Mickey: There's got to be something else we can do. Rose: Mum was right: maybe we should just lock the door and walk away. Mickey: I'm not having that. I'm not having you just give up now - no way. You just need something stronger than my car... something bigger... something like that. Jackie: Right, you¿ve only got this until 6:00 so get on with it. Rose: Mum, where the bloody hell did you get that from? Jackie: Rodrigo he owes me a favour - never mind why - but you were right about your dad, sweetheart, he was full of mad ideas and it's exactly what he would have done. Now get on with it before I change my mind. (Doctor Who: The Parting of the Ways) % The Doctor: You really want to think about this. 'Cause if I activate this signal, every living creature dies.

I take the words; I scatter them in time and space- [the words "BAD WOLF" detach from the Corporation's sign on the opposite wall and fly off] -a message to lead myself here. The Doctor: Rose, you've got to stop this! You've got to stop this now! [pause] You've got the entire Vortex running through your head! You're gonna burn! Rose: I want you safe. My Doctor, protected from the false god. Emperor Dalek: You cannot hurt me, I am immortal. Rose: You are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space, every single atom of your existence, and I divide them.

Barcelona! Not the city Barcelona, the planet Barcelona. You'd love it, fantastic place! They've got dogs with no noses! [Laughs] Imagine how many times a day you end up telling that joke and it's still funny! Rose: Then.... why can't we go? The Doctor: Maybe you will, and maybe I will. But not like this. Rose: You're not making sense! The Doctor: I might never make sense again! I might have two heads, or no head. Imagine me with no head! And don't say that's an improvement. But it's a bit dodgy, this process. You never know what you're gonna end up with. [The Doctor is suddenly wracked by intense pain.] Rose: Doctor! The Doctor: Stay away! Rose: Doctor, tell me what's going on- The Doctor: I absorbed all the energy of the time vortex, and no one's meant to do that- every cell in my body's dying. Rose: Isn't there something you can do? The Doctor: Yeah, I'm doing it now. See, Time Lords have this little trick, it's sort of a way of cheating death. Except.... it means I'm gonna change. And you're not gonna see me again. Not like this. Not with this daft old face. And before I go- Rose: Don't say that-! The Doctor: Rose, before I go, I just wanna tell you: you were fantastic, absolutely fantastic. And you know what? [Pause] So was I! [regenerates] Tenth Doctor: Hello! [gulp and sick expression] New teeth. That's weird. So where was I? Oh that's right! Barcelona! [grins] (Doctor Who: The Parting of the Ways) % The Doctor: Back to your mum. It's all waiting. Fish and chips, sausage and mash, beans on toast... No! Christmas! Turkey!

Just wait, I'm busy! [Aside] Mickey, hello! And Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North! Blimey, it's like This Is Your Life! [to Rose] Tea! That's all I needed! Good cup of tea! Super-heated infusion of free-radicals and tannins, just the thing for healing the synapses. Now, first things first. Be honest. How do I look? Rose: Umm... different. The Doctor: Good different or bad different? Rose: Just.... different. The Doctor: Am I.... ginger? Rose: No, you're just sort of.... brown. The Doctor: [disappointed] Aw, I wanted to be ginger! I've never been ginger! And you, Rose Tyler! Fat lot of good you were! You gave up on me! [Rose looks annoyed] Ooh, that's rude.... Is that the sort of man I am now? Am I rude? Rude and not ginger. (Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion) % Harriet Jones: Who is this!? Rose: That's the Doctor. Harriet Jones: Not my Doctor! Or is it just an honorary title that gets passed down? The Doctor: No, I'm him; I'm literally him. Same man, new face. Well, new everything. Harriet Jones: That can't be! The Doctor: Harriet Jones. We were trapped in Downing Street, and the thing that scared you most wasn't the aliens; it wasn't the war; it was the thought of your mother being alone. Harriet Jones: [realising] Oh my God! The Doctor: [smiling] Did you win the election? Harriet Jones: [nodding] Landslide majority. Sycorax Leader: [angrily] If I may interrupt...! The Doctor: Yes, sorry; hello there, big fella! Sycorax Leader: Who exactly are you? The Doctor: [Grinning] Well, that's the question! Sycorax Leader: [Bellowing] I demand to know who you are! The Doctor: [Mimicking] I don't knooooow! [normal] See, there's the thing. I'm the Doctor, but beyond that.... I-I just don't know, I literally do not know who I am. It's all untested. Am I funny? Am I sarcastic? Sexy? [winks at Rose] Right old misery? Life and soul? Right-handed? Left-handed? A gambler? A fighter? A coward? A traitor? A liar? A nervous wreck? I mean, judging by the evidence I've certainly got a gob! And how am I gonna react when I see this? A great big threatening button. Ah-hah. [sees the control matrix and runs up to it] The Doctor: A great big threatening button which must not be pressed under any circumstances, am I right? Let me guess, it's some sort of control matrix, hmm? Hold on, what's feeding it? And what have we got here? Blood? :[tastes] Yep, definitely, blood, human blood, A-positive, with just a dash of iron. Haagh. But that means.... blood control; blood control!! Awwww, I haven't seen blood control for years! You're controlling all the A-positives. Which leaves us with a great, big, stinking problem. 'Cause I really don't know who I am. I don't know when to stop. So if I see a great, big, threatening button -which should never, ever, ever be pressed- then I just wanna do this! [Presses the button] (Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion) % Alex: You've killed them!! The Doctor: What do you think, big fella; are they dead? Sycorax Leader: [dejected] We allowed them to live. The Doctor: "Allowed"?! You had no choice! See, that's all blood control is; cheap bit of voodoo. Scares the pants off of you, but that's as far as it goes. It's like hypnosis; you can hypnotise someone to walk like a chicken or sing like Elvis, but you can't hypnotise them to death. Survival instinct's too strong. Sycorax Leader: Blood control is just one form of conquest. I could summon the armada and take this world by force! The Doctor: Well... you could do that. Yeah, you could do that, of course you could! But why? Look at these people, these human beings; consider their potential! From the day they arrive on the planet, blinking, step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than- no, hold on. Sorry, that's The Lion King. But, the point still stands: Leave them alone! (Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion) % [During the swordfight, the Sycorax Leader has sliced the Doctor's sword-hand off] The Doctor: You cut my hand off!

I'm lucky, because quite by chance, I'm still within the first fifteen hours of my regeneration cycle, which means I have just enough residual cellular energy to do this. [The Doctor's hand grows back] Sycorax Leader: [shocked] Witchcraft! The Doctor: Time Lord. Rose: Doctor! [She throws the Doctor a new sword] The Doctor: Oh, so I'm still The Doctor then? Rose: No arguments from me. 'The Doctor [In quasi-Southern Appalachian accent] You wanna know the best bit? This new hand - it's a fightin hand!

[Reaching into pocket] Now what have I got in here? [pulls out a satsuma] A satsuma. Oh, that friend of your mother's, he does like his snacks, doesn't he? But doesn't that just sum up Christmas? You go through all those presents and right at the end, there's always one stupid old satsuma! Who wants a satsuma? (Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion) % [After dispatching the Sycorax Leader -who was attempting to stab him in the back- with use of a satsuma] The Doctor: No second chances. I'm that sort of a man.

[Rose chuckles] So anyway, planet gone. All rocks and dust, but the human race lives on spread out across the stars. Soon as the earth burns up, ooh they get all nostalgic, big revival movement. So they find this place. Same size as the earth. Same air, same orbit. Lovely. All those outer humans move in. Rose: What's the city called? The Doctor: New New York. Rose: Oh, come on. The Doctor: It is! It's the city of New New York! Strictly speaking, it's the fifteenth New York since the original, so that makes it New New-New-New-New New-New-New-New-New New-New-New-New-New New York. [Rose laughs] The Doctor: What? Rose: You're so different. The Doctor: New-New Doctor. (Doctor Who: New Earth) % Cassandra: [recognising Rose] Rose Tyler, I knew it! That dirty blonde assassin! Chip: She's coming here, mistress.

Novice Hame: We thought it better if- The Doctor: Okay, okay, I can understand the bodies, I can understand your vows. One thing I can't understand: What have you done to Rose? Novice Hame: [taken aback] I- don't know what you mean. The Doctor: [dangerous] I'm being very, very calm. You want to be aware of that. Very, very calm. And the only reason I'm being so very very calm is that the brain is a delicate thing. Whatever you've done to Rose's head I want it reversed! Novice Hame: We haven't done anything. Cassandra: I'm perfectly fine. The Doctor: These people are dying, and Rose would care. Cassandra: Oh, all right clever clogs. Smarty pants. Lady killer. The Doctor: What's happened to you? Cassandra: I knew the sisters were up to something, but I needed this body, and your mind, to work it out. The Doctor: Who are you? Cassandra: [leaning in to mutter in his ear] The last human. The Doctor: Cassandra? Cassandra: Wake up and smell the perfume. [Cassandra sprays him in the face with a small bottle, knocking him out.] (Doctor Who: New Earth) % Cassandra: We're trapped! What are we going to do? The Doctor: Well, for starters, you're going to leave that body. That psychograft is banned on every civilized planet! You're compressing Rose to death. Cassandra: But I have no where to go. My original skin's dead [said spitefully]. The Doctor: Not my problem. You can float as atoms in the air. Now get out. [Points sonic screwdriver towards Cassandra] Give her back to me. Cassandra: You asked for it. [Leaves Rose's body, and enters The Doctor's body] Rose: Blimey, my head. Where did she go? Cassandra: [in the Doctor's body] Oooh my. This is.... different. Rose: Cassandra? Cassandra: Goodness me, I'm a man! Yum. So many parts! And hardly used. Ungh- Ohhhh! Two hearts! Oh baby, I'm beating out a samba! Rose: Get out of him! Cassandra: Oooh, he's slim. And a little bit foxy. [speaks suggestively to Rose] You thought so too. I've been inside your head.

Captain Reynolds: How can you be ignorant of that? The Doctor: Oh, I'm- I'm dazed and confused. I've been chasing this wee naked child over hill and over dale. Ain't that right, ya.... tim'rous beastie? Rose: Uh- uh.... [adopting a terrible Scottish accent] och aye, I've been oot and aboot- The Doctor: [quietly to Rose, in his normal accent] No, don't do that. Rose: Hoots, mon! The Doctor: [still quiet] No, really don't. Really. (Doctor Who: Tooth and Claw) % Rose: I want her to say "we are not amused". I bet you five quid I can make her say it. The Doctor: Well, if I gambled on that, it would be an abuse of my privilege as a traveller in time. Rose: Ten quid? The Doctor: Done. (Doctor Who: Tooth and Claw) % The Doctor: She's a feral child. I bought her for sixpence in Old London Towne. It was her or the Elephant Man. Rose: Thinks he funny, but I'm so not amused. What do you think, ma'am?

That I am not amused! Rose: [as the Doctor admits defeat] Yes! (Doctor Who: Tooth and Claw) % The Doctor: But the funny thing is, Queen Victoria actually did suffer a mutation of the blood. It's historical record; she was haemophiliac - they used to call it the Royal disease. But it's always been a mystery because she didn't inherit it; her mum didn't have it, her dad didn't have it - it came from nowhere. Rose: And what, you're saying that's a wolf bite? The Doctor: Well.... maybe haemophilia is just a Victorian euphemism. Rose: For werewolf? The Doctor: Could be. Rose: Queen Victoria's a werewolf. The Doctor: Could be. And, her children had the Royal disease. Maybe she gave them a quick nip. Rose: So the royal family are werewolves? The Doctor: Well, maybe not yet, a single wolf cell would take.... a hundred years to mature? Might be ready by early 21st century? Rose: Nah, that's just ridiculous. Mind you, Princess Anne- The Doctor: I'll say no more. Rose: [giggling] And if you think about it, they're very private. They plan everything in advance. They could schedule themselves round the moon, and we'd never know! [she and the Doctor enter the TARDIS] They like hunting! They love blood sport!

Mickey: No, no, but the Preachers know what they're doing. Ricky said he's London's most wanted. Ricky: Yeah, that's not exactly... Mickey: Not exactly what? Ricky: I'm London's most wanted for... parking tickets. Pete: Great. Ricky: Yeah, they were deliberate, I was fighting the system! Park anywhere, That's me. The Doctor: Good policy. I do much the same. (Doctor Who: The Age of Steel) % [Walking into Cybercontrol, where Pete Tyler and Rose are already captured] The Doctor: [nonchalant] I've been captured, but no worry, Rose and Pete are still out there, they can rescue me, oh well never mind... Rose: They got Jackie. Pete: We were too late; Lumic killed her. The Doctor: And where is he? The famous Mr. Lumic? Don't we get the chance to meet our lord and master? Cyberman: He has been upgraded. The Doctor: So he's just like you? Cyberman: He is superior. The Lumic unit has been designated Cyber Controller. [A door slides open and a large chair made up of a mass of wires rolls forward. The Cyberman seated on it has glowing eyes and a visible brain, and is connected to several of the wires.] Cyber Controller: This is the Age of Steel, and I am its creator. (Doctor Who: The Age of Steel) % [As the newly freed humans panic and escape the Cyberfactory] The Doctor: Mr. Lumic, I think that's a vote for free will. Cyber Controller: I have factories waiting on seven continents. If the EarPods have failed, then the Cybermen will take humanity by force. London has fallen; so shall the world. (Doctor Who: The Age of Steel) % Cyber Controller: I will bring peace to the world. Everlasting peace. And unity. And uniformity. The Doctor: And imagination? What about that? The one thing that led you here, imagination. You¿re killing it dead! Cyber Controller: What is your name? The Doctor: I'm the Doctor. Cyber Controller: A redundant title. Doctors need not exist. Cybermen never sicken. The Doctor: But that¿s it! That¿s exactly the point! Oh, Lumic, you¿re a clever man. I¿d call you a genius... except I¿m in the room. But everything you¿ve invented you did to fight your sickness. And that¿s brilliant. That is so human. But once you get rid of sickness and mortality, then what¿s there to strive for, eh? The Cybermen won¿t advance, you¿ll just stop! You¿ll stay like this forever. A metal Earth with metal men and metal thoughts. Lacking the one thing that makes this planet so alive: people! Ordinary, stupid, brilliant people! Cyber Controller: You are proud of your emotions? The Doctor: Oh yes. Cyber Controller: Then tell me, Doctor, have you known grief, and rage, and pain? The Doctor: Yes. Yes, I have. Cyber Controller: And they hurt? The Doctor: Oh yes. Cyber Controller: I can set you free. Would you not want that? A life without pain? The Doctor: You might as well kill me. Cyber Controller: Then I take that option. The Doctor: It's not yours to take! You're a Cyber Controller! You don't control me or anything with blood in its heart! [The Cybermen tense, as if prepared to attack him] Cyber Controller: You have no means of stopping me. I have an army - a species of my own. The Doctor: You just don¿t get it, do you? An army is nothing! 'Cause those ordinary people, they¿re the key. The most ordinary person could change the world! Some ordinary man or woman... Some idiot... [This gets the attention of Mickey, who is listening in unbeknownst to the Cybermen] The Doctor: [secretly instructing Mickey] All it takes is him to find the right numbers, the right codes. Say, for example, the code behind the emotional inhibitors. The code right in front of him, ¿cause even an idiot knows his computers these days! Knows how to get past firewalls and passwords, knows how to find something encrypted in the Lumic family database, under, er, what was it Pete, binary what? Pete: Binary nine. Mickey: [whispers] Binary nine! The Doctor: An idiot could find that code. The cancellation code. And he¿d keep on typing, keep on fighting. Anything to save his friends. Cyber Controller: Your words are irrelevant. The Doctor: [chuckles] Yeah, talk to much, that's my problem! Lucky I got that cheap tariff Rose. For all our long chats on your phone. Mickey: The phone. Cyber Controller: You will be deleted. The Doctor: Yes, ¿Delete,¿ ¿Control,¿ ¿Hash,¿ all those lovely buttons, then, of course, my particular favorite: ¿Send¿! And let's not forget how you seduced all those ordinary people in the first place... [Rose¿s phone beeps] ...by making every bit of technology compatible with every thing else. Rose: It¿s for you. [Throws phone to the Doctor] The Doctor: [Catches phone] Like this. [Puts the phone into a computer port, sending the code to all the Cybermen. They can now see what they have become, and as a result, chaos breaks loose as they begin to die.] (Doctor Who: The Age of Steel) % Mickey: Do you think there was a cyber factory in Paris? I've always wanted to go to Paris. Jake: [smiling] Yeah. Mickey: Then let's go liberate France. Jake: What, in a van? Mickey: There's nothing wrong with a van. I once saved the universe with a big yellow truck! (Doctor Who: The Age of Steel) % Rose: Where we off to? The Doctor: Ed Sullivan TV studios. Elvis did "Hound Dog" on one of the shows, there were loads of complaints. Bit of luck, we'll just catch it. Rose: And that would be TV studios in... what, New York? The Doctor: That's the one. [a red double-decker bus goes by, the Doctor hits the brakes] Rose: Ha ha, dig that New York vibe. The Doctor: Well, this could still be New York. I mean, this looks very New York to me. Sort of a London-y New York, mind you, but... (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % [Mr. Connolly opens the front door] The Doctor, Rose: Hi! Eddie Connolly: Who are you, then? The Doctor: Well, judging by the looks of you: family man, nice house, decent wage, fought in the war. Therefore, [flashes psychic paper] I represent Queen and Country. Don't mind if we come in, do you? Nah, didn't think you would. (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % The Doctor: Hold on a minute. You've got hands, Mr. Connolly. Two big hands. So, why's that your wife's job? Eddie Connolly: It's housework, isn't it? The Doctor: And that's a woman's job? Eddie Connolly: Course it is. The Doctor: Mr. Connolly, what gender is the Queen? Eddie Connolly: She's a female. The Doctor: And are you suggesting that the Queen does all the housework? Eddie Connolly: No! No, not at all! The Doctor: Then, get busy. Eddie Connolly: Right, yes sir. You'll be proud of us, sir. We'll have Union Jacks left, right, and center. Rose: Excuse me, Mr. Connolly, hold on a minute. Union Jack? Eddie Connolly: Yes, that's right, isn't it? Rose: That's the Union Flag. It's the Union Jack only when it's flown at sea. Eddie Connolly: Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. I- I do apologise. Rose: Well, don't get it wrong again. There's a good man. Now, get to it! The Doctor: Right. Nice and comfy. At her majesty's leisure. [Quietly to Rose] Union Flag? Rose: Mum went out with a sailor. The Doctor: Oh-ho, I bet she did. (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % Rose: Nice to meet you Tommy, Mrs. Connolly. Rose: And as for you Mr. Connolly, only an idiot hangs a union flag upside down. Shame on you. [She grins madly, and runs off.] (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % The Doctor: It's never too late, as a wise person once said; Kylie, I think. (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % Detective-Inspector Bishop: Okay, Doctor, tell me everything you know. Doctor: Well, for starters, I know you can't wrap your hands around your elbows and make your fingers meet. Detective-Inspector Bishop: Don't get clever with me! (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % Magpie: What do you think you're doing? The Doctor: I want my friend restored. And I think that's beyond a little backstreet electrician. So tell me, who's really in charge here? The Wire: [appears on a TV] Yoo-hoo! I think that must be me. (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % Tommy: [to the Wire] What are you? The Wire: I'm The Wire. And I will gobble you up, pretty boy. Every.... last.... morsel. [the female TV presenter image turns from black and white to colour] And when I have feasted, I shall regain the corporeal body which my fellow kind denied me. Bishop: Good Lord! Colour television! (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % Police Officer: Wait, where do you think you're... [sees psychic paper] Oh, very sorry, sir. Shouldn't you be at the coronation? The Doctor: They're saving me a seat. Tommy Connolly: Who did he think you were? The Doctor: [looks at the psychic paper] The King of Belgium, apparently. (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % [After trapping The Wire onto a video cassette] The Doctor: I just invented the home video thirty years early. [dimissively] Betamax. (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % Rose: That thing, is it trapped for good on video? The Doctor: That's right. But just to be on the safe side though, I'll use my unrivalled knowledge of trans-temporal extrapolation methods to neutralise the residual electronic pattern. Rose: You'll what? The Doctor: I'm gonna tape over it. Rose: Just leave it to me. I'm always doing that. (Doctor Who: The Idiot's Lantern) % [The TARDIS materialises and The Doctor and Rose walk out] The Doctor: I don't know what's wrong though, she's sort of... queasy. Indigestion. Like she didn't want to land.. Rose: [deadpan] Well... if you think it's going to be trouble we could always... get back inside and go somewhere else... [They both burst out laughing] (Doctor Who: The Impossible Planet) % [The Doctor opens a door and finds a corridor on the other side filled with Ood.] The Doctor: Right! Yes! Hello! Sorry. Who are you? Ood: We must feed! The Doctor: You gotta what? Ood: We must feed! Rose: Right, I think they mean us! Ood: We must feed! [The Doctor and Rose run back into the room and find Ood entering from several corridors at once. Rose picks up a stool and The Doctor gets out his Sonic Screwdriver and points it at the Ood as they back into a wall] Ood: We must feed! [Taps communication sphere.] You, if you are hungry. The Doctor: What? Ood: We apologise. Electromagnetic structures have interfered with speech systems. Would you like some refreshment? The Doctor: [Stuttering] Oh, well, um... [A door opens and Mr Jefferson walks in with two guards.] Mr Jefferson: What the hell... [speaks into comm device] Captain... you're not gonna believe this but we got people! I mean, real people, I mean... two... living people right in front of me. Zack: [Over comm] Don't be stupid, that's impossible! Mr Jefferson: I'd suggest telling them that. (Doctor Who: The Impossible Planet) % Zack: [After just meeting The Doctor and Rose] Oh, my god, you meant it. Scooti: Wow people, look at that, real people. The Doctor: That's us. Hooray! (Doctor Who: The Impossible Planet) % The Doctor: I've trapped you here. Rose: Oh, don't worry about me. [there is a rumble overhead] Okay...we're under a black hole...on a planet which shouldn't exist, with no way out. Right, I've changed my mind, start worrying about me. (Doctor Who: The Impossible Planet) % The Doctor: I'll have to get a house! With - with doors and carpets, can you imagine? Me, living in a house?! Rose: [singsong voice] You'll have to get a mortgage! The Doctor: No. Rose: Oh, yes. The Doctor: No. That's it, I'm dying. It is all over. Rose: What about me? I'll have to get one too. Or - it could be the same one. [uncomfortably] We could... I don't know... share. [The Doctor stares at her] Or not, whatever. The Doctor: [quickly] Anyway. Rose: [just as fast] Yeah, we'll see. The Doctor: I promised Jackie I would always take you back home. Rose: Everyone leaves home in the end. The Doctor: Not to end up stuck here! Rose: Yeah, well stuck with you, that's not so bad. The Doctor: [surprised] Yeah? Rose: Yes. (Doctor Who: The Impossible Planet) % Ood: The Beast and his armies will rise from the pit to make war against God. Rose: I'm sorry? Ood: [whacks communication sphere] Apologies. I said "I hope you enjoy your meal". (Doctor Who: The Impossible Planet) % Ood: [possessed by the Beast] Some, they call me Abaddon. Some, they call me Krop Tor. Some, they call me Satan, or Lucifer. (Doctor Who: The Impossible Planet) % Ida: Well, we've come this far, there's no turning back. The Doctor: Oh come on! Did you have to? "No turning back," that's almost as bad as "Nothing could possibly go wrong," or "This is gonna be the best Christmas Walford's ever had!" Ida: [Frustrated] Have you finished? [beat] The Doctor: Yeah...finished. (Doctor Who: The Impossible Planet) % The Doctor: That is so human. Where angels fear to tread. (Doctor Who: The Satan Pit) % [The Beast communicates with everyone through the Ood] The Beast: This is the Darkness. This is my domain.
