Do you wanna come with me? 'Cos if you do, then I should warn you — you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: the trip of a lifetime!

Run!
[looking in a magazine] That won't last. He's gay and she's an alien.
The assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get through that door, and, believe me, they've tried.
Did I mention? It also travels in time.
(just before Cassandra dries out and ruptures) Everything has its time and everything dies.
The thing is, Adam, time travel is like visiting Paris. You can't just read the guidebook, you've got to throw yourself in! Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers! [beat] Or is that just me?
The past is another country. 1987's just the Isle of Wight.
[to Rose as a baby] Now, Rose, you're not going to bring around the end of the world, are you? [no reply] Are you?
[asking about Rose's whereabouts] And I wanna find a blonde in a Union Jack tee. And I mean a specific one, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving.
[The Doctor, Jack and Rose are cornered by the empty children.]
Go to your room. [Pause] 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 obey him and lurch away.] I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words.
There isn't a little boy born who wouldn't tear the world apart to save his mummy. And this little boy can.
[Exultant upon saving all the Nanogene-infected Londoners.] Everybody lives, Rose. Just this once....Everybody lives!!
[to Jack, after hearing him flirt again] There's a time and a place.
[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. 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 protests] 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.
