Twelfth Doctor quotes from Doctor Who

I’ve got no sonic, no TARDIS, about ten minutes of oxygen left, and now I’m blind. Can you imagine how unbearable I’m going to be when I pull this off?

The end point of capitalism. A bottom line where human life has no value at all. We're fighting an algorithm. A spreadsheet! Like every worker, everywhere, we're fighting the suits.

Think think think think think think think think think think. Stupid Doctor. Stupid stupid stupid. [realizes the solution] Handsome Doctor. Adorable, hugely intelligent, but still approachable, Doctor.

See, that's what I'm trying to teach you, Missy. You understand the universe, you see it and you grasp it, but you've never learned to hear the music.

We had a pact, me and him: Every star in the universe! We were going to see them all. But he was too busy burning them... and I don't think she ever saw anything.

Pity. No stars. I hoped there'd be stars...

Sontarans, perverting the course of human history! I don't want to go! When the Doctor... when the Doctor was me! When The Doctor was me. It's starting. I'm regenerating! [Regeneration energy starts to come out out of The Doctor's hands.] No, no, no, no, no, no! [The regeneration energy stops. The TARDIS lands.] Where have you taken me? If you're trying to prove a point, I'm not listening. I don't want to change again. Never again! I can't keep on being someone else! Whatever it is, I'm staying.

Kidneys! I've got new kidneys! I don't like the colour.

Of your kidneys? [The TARDIS starts shaking] What's happening?!

We're probably crashing. Oh!

Into what?!

[pressing buttons] Stay calm! Just one question… Do you happen to know how to fly this thing?

You wanna hear a story?

Don't give him more power.

Really short, really short. You know Hemingway. I saw some of his books back there. I met him. I wanted to see how good he was, so I challenged him. "Hemy, baby, write me the shortest story you can". He wrote it in six words. Short as hell! Do you wanna hear mine? I'm born. I die. I'm born.

You are giving me power. But how? I am not connected to you!

No, the engine is connected to me. My stories, my voice. Look. On!

...in the universe can do what we're doing.

Just this once...

I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord.

When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die!

When people need help, I never refuse.

I am definitely not the man I was.

My body is like a barbershop. All of them inside, telling their stories, bickering! I... will not... fail them!

[laughs] You told a never-ending story, and gave me never-ending power!

He's taken out a third of the engine. You can't process that power. Your engine could overload and explode! We'll all be sucked into space!

You will not do that. You will not! No. No! Would you? The stories say you protect life.

That is what I am doing.

[as he takes in the TARDIS interior] Is this madness? Am I going mad?

Madness? Well, you're an officer from World War One at the South Pole being pursued by an alien through frozen time. Madness was never this good.

World War One?

Judging by the uniform, yes.

Yes, but what do you mean... "One"?

[realizing] Oh, sorry. Spoilers.

You… are me? No. No.

Yes. Yes, I'm very much afraid so.

Do I... become... you?

Well, there's a few false starts, but you get there in the end.

I thought...

What?

Well, I assumed I'd get... younger.

I am younger!

What's the matter?

I died a few hours ago and I refused to regenerate. Catches up with you, you know. It's like a big lunch.

I did exactly the same.

I know you did, but why? I don't remember this. Why are you refusing the regeneration?

Fear. I'm afraid. Very, very afraid. I don't normally admit that to anyone else.

Don't worry. Technically, you still haven't.

I adjusted the time frame, only by a couple of hours. Any other day, it wouldn't make any difference, but this is Christmas 1914... A human miracle is about to happen. The Christmas Armistice. It never happened again, any war, anywhere. But for one day, one Christmas, a very long time ago... everyone just put down their weapons... and started to sing. Everybody just stopped. Everyone... was just kind.

You've saved him!

Both of them. Never hurts, a couple fewer dead people on the battlefield.

So, that's what it means to be a Doctor of War...

You were right, you know. The universe generally fails to be a fairy tale... but that's where we come in!

Can't I ever have peace? Can't I rest?

Of course you can.

It's your choice.

Only yours.

We understand.

No. No, you don't. You're not even really here. You're just memories, held in glass. Do you know how many of you I could fill? I would shatter you. My Testimony would shatter all of you. A life this long -- do you understand what it is? It's a battlefield, like this one. It's empty. Because everyone else has fallen. Thank you. Thank you both, for everything that you were to me. What happens now... Where I go now.. has to be alone.

[to Strax] Come on, Clara, you know that I speak Dinosaur.

He's not Clara. I'm Clara!

Well, you're very similar heights. Maybe you should wear labels.
