Tenth Doctor quotes from Doctor Who

Almost every species in the universe has an irrational fear of the dark, but they're wrong, because it's not irrational. It's Vashta Nerada.

What's "Vashta Nerada"?

It's what's in the dark. It's what's always in the dark.

That's not darkness down those tunnels. This is not a shadow. It's a swarm, a man-eating swarm. [throws a chicken leg into the shadow, which is immediately reduced to mere bone] The piranhas of the air. The Vashta Nerada. Literally, "the shadows that melt the flesh". Most planets have them, but usually in small clusters. I've never seen an infestation on this scale, or this aggressive.

What do you mean, most planets? Not Earth?

[nodding] Mmm, Earth. And a billion other worlds. Where there's meat, there's Vashta Nerada. You can see them sometimes, if you look. The dust in sunbeams.

[unnerved, in denial] If... they were on Earth, we'd know.

Nah. Normally they live on roadkill. But sometimes people go missing. Not everyone comes back out of the dark.

Every shadow?

No. But any shadow.

So what do we do?

Daleks, aim for the eyestalk. Sontarans, back of the neck. Vashta Nerada? Run. Just run.

These are our forests, they are our meat. [Spreads out to attack the Doctor]

Don't play games with me. You just killed someone I liked and that is not a safe place to stand! [The Vashta Nerada continue to spread] I'm the Doctor and you're in the biggest Library in the universe. Look me up.

[retreating] You have one day.

Why am I handcuffed? Why would you even have handcuffs?

[Playfully flirtatious] Spoilers.

You can let me do this!

If you die here, it'll mean I've never met you!

Time can be rewritten!

Not those times. Not one line! Don't you dare! It's OK. It's OK, it's not over for you. You'll see me again. You've got all of that to come. You and me, time and space. You watch us run!

River, you know my name. You whispered my name in my ear! There's only one reason I would ever tell anyone my name. There's only one time I could...

[Smiling sweetly at the Doctor as the countdown reaches zero] Hush, now... Spoilers!

[Voice-over, as the Doctor and Donna walk away] When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it'll never end. But however hard you try you can't run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies and nobody knows it like the Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever, for one moment, accepts it.

Why? Why would I give her my screwdriver? Why would I do that? The thing is, future me had years to think about it. All those years to think of a way to save her, and what he did was give her a screwdriver! Why would I do that?! [peels back a panel to reveal a set of green lights like on the suits, realizing why his future self has given River the screwdriver] Oh, oh, oh! Look at that! I'm very good!

What have you done?

Saved her! [runs with River's consciousness in the screwdriver] Stay with me! You can do it! Stay with me! Come on!! You and me, one last run!

[remembering Rose in her parallel world] But she told me... to warn you. She said two words...

What two words? What were they? What did she say?

Bad Wolf.

W-What does it mean?

Doctor, what is it? What's Bad Wolf?

It's the end of the universe!

On Earth, we have these insects -- some people said it was pollution or mobile phones...

Or they were going back home.

"Back home", where?

Planet Melissa Mejoria

Are you saying bees are aliens?!

Don't be daft. Not all of them.

[cradling the Doctor] I've got you. I missed you. Look, it's me, Doctor!

[weakened and in pain] Rose! Long time, no see!

Yeah, well, I've been busy, you know...

Here we go! Good luck, Doctor!

[hysterical] Will someone please tell me what is going on?!

When he's dying, his body... it repairs itself, it changes... but you can't!

I'm sorry, it's too late! I'm regenerating! [his head snaps back as the regeneration energy blasts out of his arms and head]

The Doctor's soul is finally revealed! [laughs sinisterly] See him! See the heart of him! [laughs some more]

The man who abhors violence, never carrying a gun. But this is the truth, Doctor. You take ordinary people and you fashion them into weapons. Behold your Children of Time transformed into murderers. I made the Daleks, Doctor. You made this.

[weakly] They're trying to help.

Already I have seen them sacrifice today for their beloved Doctor. The Earth woman who fell opening the Subwave Network.

Who was that?

Harriet Jones. She gave her life to get you here.

How many more? Just think - how many have died in your name?

The Doctor. The man who keeps running, never looking back because he dare not, out of shame. This is my final victory, Doctor. I have shown you... yourself.

Davros, come with me! I promise I can save you!

Never forget, Doctor! You did this! I NAME YOU FOREVER! YOU ARE THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS!

I just want you to know, there are worlds out there, safe in the sky because of her. That there are people living in the light, and singing songs of Donna Noble. A thousand, million light years away. They will never forget her, while she can never remember. [visibly upset] But for one moment, one shining moment, she was the most important woman in the whole wide universe.

She still is. [insistently] She's my daughter!

Then maybe you should tell her that once in a while!

I'll watch out for you, son.

[insistent] You can't ever tell her.

No, no—but every night, Doctor, when it gets dark, and the stars come out, I'll look up on her behalf. I'll look up at the sky, and think of you.

Thank you.
