Tenth Doctor quotes from Doctor Who

Oh, this is my lover, the King of France.

[dismissive] Yeah? Well I'm the Lord of Time.

[smiling] Umm... what are you doing that for?

'Cos you told me to.

[smile slowly fades] When was that?

About half an hour ago.

[sheepish] Umm... you can let go now.

How long has it been since I could've stopped?

Ten minutes? Twenty? Twenty-nine?

If you want to know what's going on, work in the kitchen.

According to Lucy, that man over there...

Who is Lucy?

She's carrying the salmon pinwheels. [nods towards a waitress on the other side of the room]

Oh, that's Lucy, isn't it?

Yeah. Lucy says that that is the President of Great Britain.

What, there's a "President", not a "Prime Minister"?

Seems so.

Or maybe Lucy's just a bit thick.

Upgrading is compulsory.

And if I refuse?

[muttering] Don't.

What if I refuse?

I'm telling you, don't!

What happens if I refuse?

Then you are not compatible.

What happens then?

You will be deleted. [The Cyberman electrocutes the President]

Leave him alone. What's he done wrong?

Oh, you know, just laid a trap that's wiped out the government and left Lumic in charge.

If I was part of all that, do you think I'd leave my wife inside?

Maybe your plan went wrong. Still gives us the right to execute you, though.

Talk about executions, you'll make me your enemy. And take some really good advice: you don't wanna do that!

I thought I was broadcasting to the Security Services - what do I get? Scooby-Doo and his gang! They've even got the van!

No, no, no, but the Preachers know what they're doing. Ricky said he's London's Most Wanted.

Yeah, that's not exactly...

Not exactly what?

I'm London's Most Wanted for... parking tickets.

Great...!

Yeah, they were deliberate. I was fighting the system! Park anywhere, that's me.

Good policy. I do much the same.

[about Lumic] Why's he doing it?

He's dying. This all started out as a way of prolonging life, of keeping the brain alive at any cost.

[to the Doctor] The thing is, I've seen Cybermen before, haven't I? The head. Those handle shapes in Van Statten's museum...

Ah, there are Cybermen in our universe. They started on an ordinary world just like this, then swarmed across the galaxy. This lot are a parallel version, and they're starting from scratch right here on Earth.

Where're we off to?

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.

And that would be TV studios in... what, New York?

That's the one.

Ha ha! Dig that New York vibe.

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...

Hold on a minute. You've got hands, Mr. Connolly. Two big hands. So why's that your wife's job?

Well it's housework, isn't it?

And that's a woman's job?

Of course, it is!

Mr. Connolly, what gender is the Queen?

She's a female.

And are you suggesting that the Queen does the housework?

[eyes widening] No! No, not at all!

Then, get busy!

Now you listen here, Doctor. You may have fancy qualifications, but what goes on under my roof is my business!

A lot of people are being bundled into--

[fiercely] I am TALKING!

[stands up and matches Eddie] AND I'M NOT LISTENING!

Now you, Mr. Connolly — you are staring into a deep, dark pit of trouble if you don't let me help! So I'm ordering you, SIR; tell me what's going on!

We just found another one. [brings in the latest victim: Rose, her face covered by a blanket]

[furious] What?! They left her where?

The street.

They took her face and just chucked her out in the street. As a consequence, that makes this simple... very, very simple. Because now, Detective Inspector Bishop, there is no power on this earth that can stop me!

[talking about the TARDIS] I don't know what is wrong with her, she's sort of... queasy, indigestion... like she didn't want to land.

[deadpan] Well if you think that's gonna be trouble, we can always get back inside and go somewhere else.

I've trapped you here.

[sarcastically] 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.

Well, we've come this far, there's no turning back.

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!"

[frustrated] Have you finished?

Yeah. Finished.

If you are "the Beast", then answer me this - which one? Hmm? 'Cause the the universe has been busy since you've been gone. There's more religions than there are planets in the sky! The Arkiphets, Quoldonity, Christianity, Pash Pash, New Judaism, San Klah, Church of the Tin Vagabond - which Devil are you?

All of them.

What, then you're the truth behind the myth?

This one knows me, as I know him. The killer of his own kind.
