Eleventh Doctor quotes from Doctor Who

You're Amelia!

You're late!

Amelia Pond! You're the little girl!

I'm Amelia, and you're late.

What happened?

Twelve years!

You hit me with a cricket bat!

Ha! Twelve years!

A cricket bat!

Twelve years, and four psychiatrists!

Four?

I kept biting them!

Why?

They said you weren't real.

[looking at Prisoner Zero, which is disguised as him] Well, that's rubbish. Who's that supposed to be?

It's you.

Me? Is that what I look like?

You don't know?

Busy day.

Is this world a threat to the Atraxi? Well, go on, you're monitoring the whole planet. Is this world a threat?

[does a quick scan of life on Earth] No.

Are the peoples of this world guilty of any crimes punishable by the laws of the Atraxi?

[scans through multiple historical atrocities] No.

Okay. One question, just one more: Is this world protected?

You're not the first lot to have come here. Oh, there have been so many. But the real question you have to ask yourself is...what happened to them?

Hello. I'm the Doctor. Basically... Run.

It's you. You came back.

'Course I came back, I always come back. Something wrong with that?

And you kept the clothes.

Well, I just saved the world, the whole planet, for about the millionth time, no charge. Yeah, shoot me! I kept the clothes.

Including the bow tie.

[self-conscious] Yeah, it's cool. Bow ties are cool. [fixes it]

Are you from another planet?

Yeah.

...'Kay.

So, what do you think?

What?

Other planets, wanna check some out?

What does that mean?

It means... well... it means... come with me.

[sharp] Where?

Wherever you like.

All that stuff that happened, the hospital, the spaceships, Prisoner Zero...

Oh, don't worry, that's just the beginning. There's loads more.

Yeah, but those things, those amazing things, all that stuff... [pause, deep breath, then, angrily] That was TWO. YEARS. AGO!

Oh... [weak chuckle] Oops.

Yeah!

So that's--

Fourteen years!

Fourteen years since fish custard! Amy Pond, the girl who waited. You've waited long enough.

When I was a kid, you said there was a swimming pool and a library, and the swimming pool was in the library.

Yeah, not sure where it's got to now. It'll turn up. So, coming?

No.

You wanted to come fourteen years ago.

I grew up.

Don't worry, I'll soon fix that.

One little girl crying, so?

Crying silently. I mean, children cry because they want attention, because they're hurt or afraid. But when they cry silently, it's because they just can't stop. Any parent knows that.

Are you a parent?

[on video message] The Earth was burning. Our sun had turned on us and every other nation had fled to the skies. Our children screamed as the skies grew hotter. And then it came, like a miracle - the last of the Star Whales. We trapped it, we built our ship around it, and we rode on its back to safety. If you wish our voyage to continue, then you must press the Forget button. Be again the heart of this nation, untainted. If not, press the other button. Your reign will end, the Star Whale will be released, and our ship will disintegrate. I hope I keep the strength to make the right decision.

I voted for this. Why would I do that?

Because you knew if we stayed here, I'd be faced with an impossible choice. Humanity or the alien. You took it upon yourself to save me from that. [sternly] And that was wrong. You don't ever decide what I need to know.

I don't even remember doing it!

You did it. That's what counts.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Oh, I don't care. When I'm done here, you're going home. [heads for the controls]

Why? Because I made a mistake? One mistake? I don't even remember doing it! Doctor!

[dismissive] Yeah, I know. You're only human.

What are you doing?

The worst thing I'll ever do. I'm going to pass a massive electrical charge through the Star Whale's brain - should knock out all its higher functions, leave it a vegetable. The ship will still fly, but the Whale won't feel it.

[horrified] That'll be like killing it.

Look, three options: One, I let the Star Whale continue in unendurable agony for hundreds more years. Two, I kill everyone on this ship. Three, I murder a beautiful, innocent creature as painlessly as I can... and then I-- I find a new name, because I won't be "The Doctor" anymore.

There must be something we can do, some other way--

Nobody talk to me; nobody HUMAN HAS ANYTHING TO SAY TO ME TODAY!

Amy, Winston Churchill!

Doctor?... is it you?

Winston, my old friend! [Churchill puts out his hand] Ha! Every time!

What's he after?

TARDIS key, of course.

Think of what I could achieve with your remarkable machine, Doctor! Think of the lives that could be saved.

Ah, doesn't work like that.

Must I take it by force?

I'd like to see you try.

[to the soldiers] At ease.

Would you care for some tea?

[slaps tea from Dalek's tea tray] Stop this! What are you doing here? What do you want?!

We seek only to help you.

To do what?

To win the war.

Really? Which war?

I do not understand.

This war against the Nazis or your war against the rest of the universe? The war against all lifeforms that are not Dalek?

I do not understand. I am your soldier.

Okay, okay! [Picks up a large spanner] Okay, soldier, defend yourself! [beats Dalek with spanner repeatedly]

What the devil?!

You do not require tea?

Stop him! Prime Minister, please!

Doctor!

Come on!

What the devil?

Come on! Fight back! I know you will!

I must protest!

You hate me! You want to kill me! Well, go on! Kill me! Kill me!

Doctor, be careful!

Please desist from striking me. I am your soldier.

[He accentuates each word by hitting the Dalek each time] YOU! ARE! MY! ENEMY! And I am yours! You are everything I despise. The worst thing in all creation. I've defeated you. Time and time again, I've defeated you. I sent you back into the Void. I saved the whole of reality from you. I AM THE DOCTOR AND YOU ARE THE DALEKS!

[long pause, then] Correct.

So what do we do? Is this what we do now? Chase after them?

This is what I do, yeah, and it's dangerous, so you wait here.

So I've got to stay safe down here... in the middle of the London Blitz?!

Safest it gets around me.

Well, what does he expect us to do now?

KBO, of course.

What?

Keep Buggering On.

The question is, what do we do now? Either you turn off your clever machine or I'll blow you and you new paradigm into eternity.

And yourself.

Occupational hazard.

Scan reveals nothing; TARDIS self destruct device non-existent!

All right, [takes a bite out of the 'self-destruct'] it's a Jammie Dodger, but I was promised tea!

Doctor, call off your attack.

Haha, what? And let you scuttle off back to the future? No fear! This is the end for you. The final end.

Call off the attack, or we will destroy the Earth.

I'm not stupid, mate, you've just played your last card.

Bracewell is a bomb!

You're bluffing. Deception's second nature to you. There isn't a sincere bone in your body, there isn't a bone in your body.

His power is derived from an Oblivion Continuum. Call off your attack or we will detonate the android!

No, no, this is my best chance ever. The last of the Daleks - I can rid the whole universe of you, once and for all!

Then do it. But we will shatter the planet below. The Earth will die screaming!

[bitterly] Yeah, and if I let you go, you'll be stronger than ever. A new race of Daleks...

Then choose, Doctor! Destroy the Daleks or save the Earth! Begin countdown of Oblivion Continuum! Choose, Doctor! Choose! Choose!

The writing... the graffiti: Old High Gallifreyan. The lost language of the Time Lords. There were days, there were many days, where these words could burn stars, raise up empires, and topple gods.

What does this one say?

[hesitates, then, exasperatedly] "Hello, sweetie!"

Oh, you are all "Mr. Grumpy Face" today?

A Weeping Angel, Amy, is the deadliest, most powerful, most malevolent life form evolution has ever produced, and right now one of them is trapped inside that wreckage and I'm supposed to climb in after it with a screwdriver and a torch, and assuming I survive the radiation long enough and assuming the whole ship doesn't explode in my face, do something incredibly clever which I haven't actually thought of yet. That's my day, that's what I'm up to. Any questions?

Is River Song your wife? Because she's someone from your future, and the way she talks to you, I've never seen anyone do that. She's kind of like, you know, "Heel, boy!" She's Mrs. Doctor from the future, isn't she? Is she going to be your wife one day?

[beat] Yes, you're right. I am definitely "Mr. Grumpy Face" today.

What do you mean it's a statue when you see it?

The Weepings Angels can only move if they're unseen. So legend has it.

No, it's not a legend, it's a quantum lock. In the sight of any living being, the Angels literally cease to exist. They're just stone: the ultimate defense mechanism.

What? Being a stone?

Being a stone... until you turn your back.

Amy Pond, you are magnificent, and I'm sorry.

It's okay, I understand. You've got to leave me.

Oh, no, I'm not leaving you, never! I'm sorry about this! [bites her hand. Amy yelps] There, see? Not stone, now run!

You bit me!

Yeah, and you're alive.

Oh, I've got a mark, look at my hand!

Yes, and you're alive! Did I mention?

Blimey, your teeth, have you got space teeth?!

Yeah, alive, all I'm saying!
