Fifteenth Doctor quotes from Doctor Who

Like this is destiny? Is that what you say to all the girls? Is that what you said to Sasha? Sorry. But she trusted you, and she died. And now all I can see here is a great big temple of a… spaceship? And it's empty, Doctor. It's empty, you could not have a more empty space! So maybe you invite people in and say it's destiny and smile that smile… Which is a hell of a smile, okay? And it works. Well, it almost works. You are so clever, and so stupid. And you tested my DNA without even asking my permission.

Oh.

God. You're dangerous.

I'm sorry. Inexcusable. With both hearts, I apologise.

Doctor, the only power I have in this room is to ask you if my life is in danger. With you, yes? I won't live like that. I will not.

We don't exist.

But... you do!

No. We're the sort of characters who don't have surnames. We're just part of the trap so that... creature can play with your minds.

But we're cleverer than him! We learnt from the Doctor so we worked it out. We can set you free.

It's time for you to go back and fight him, and beat him for us.

I am sure that there is something we can--

No, no, off you go! Come on, cos you'd better be quick! Up. Come on. You're thirty minutes in. Time for the third act.

Thanks. Keep watching!

You don't get it, do you?

What? What don't I get?

They are not real. Once we move on, Lizzie, Hassan and Robyn will all blink out of existence.

You mean... You'll die?

It's not death. We just... end.

But... that is death.

Yeah. But we're not important. It doesn't matter what happens to us.

And it's been so worth it, just to meet you.

We had so much fun. And, thanks to you, I met my two best friends.

We'll be gone any second. Oh, my goodness. But maybe... just now and then you can think of us. Then we might live on just a little bit. Now, go and save the world, Doctor.

I wish that there was something that we could--

We love you so much.

But... he was made of light.

We're sixty percent water and we can still drown. That's why Lux stayed inside. And we gave him all the light in the universe. And that's what he became - light without end.

So he's actually a god now. Infinite. Invisible. Intangible...

Amen.

What is this planet called?

6-7-6-7.

The old name. 400,000 years ago, what was the planet called?

It was called Midnight.

[in shock] I've been here before.

The Shreek is back in its hive. No need to thank me. [chuckles] You have to be invited into my TARDIS, Conrad. To be special. But you? You're special... for all the wrong reasons. You see, I am fighting a battle on behalf of everyday people who just wanna get through their day and feel safe, and warm, and fed. And then along comes this... noise. All day long, this relentless noise! Cowards like you, weaponizing lies, taking people's insecurity and fear and making it currency. You are exhausting. You stamp on the truth, choke our bandwidth and shred our patience, because the only strategy you have is to wear us down. But the thing is, Conrad, I have energy to burn and all the time in the universe.

[laughs bitterly] What is this? An intervention? Are you here to save my soul?

You betrayed my friend.

You've had plenty of "friends". Have you met Belinda Chandra yet?

Who? You want spoilers? I'll tell you your future. You die in a prison cell, boiling in anger and poison, until your heart packs in at age 49. Alone and unloved, forgotten. The world carries on, the world gets better. You aren't even a footnote. Just ashes on the wind.

I don't accept your reality, Doctor. I reject it. So put me back in my prison. And get off my world.

I am an evolved life-form. And, uh... my body changes a lot. It's the first time I've had this black body. In some parts of the Earth, I'm now treated differently. But here, in Africa, in that barbershop, I'm accepted. I'm able to forget. Boy, we... we laugh. We tell stories. They...

Treat you like one of their own? You say you're not human, but that's the most human thing ever, Doctor. Go on, then. Take as long as you need.

I grew up with Anansi, terrified someone would win me in a bet. I'd heard about you, travelling through time -- I had faith you would help! Instead, you left me. I'm here because of you. You humiliated me, Doctor!

You look so different now. I am sorry. But I couldn't take you with me.

I was a fugitive back then. Anansi was wrong to offer that bet! And frankly, darling, I was busy in a different story that might be finished one day...

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.

Every civilisation has a thousand legends about the world hidden below. The Upside Down, or Narnia, or Hell. That is the Underverse.

The Rani

To which Omega was banished.

My father fought Omega back in the 1970s. Said he was a Titan. Called him the Mad God.

Omega was the first. The one who discovered time travel. Some call him the Original Sin of the Time Lords. Cast out from Gallifrey - legend says that they bound him and banished him because he is insane!

The Rani

The point is, he's alive. Exile to the Underverse means he survived.

We can't know that.

The Rani

Alive or dead, he will work as a gene bank. With his body, I can resurrect the Time Lords and construct a new Gallifrey.

[chuckling] Oh. Your Gallifrey.

The Rani

Well, the Gallifrey of old never did appreciate me. But this one, this will be a power in the sky.

But if you need the DNA of a Time Lord, then what about you? The two of you?

The Rani

[wryly] I think she's asking us to mate.

Rani, get back.

The Rani

What is it?!

The Underverse is a world of legend, so Omega has become his own legend! He is the Mad God! The Titan! The Original Sin!

I will become the God of Time, with Time Lords to feast upon!

The Rani

Well, I think you'll find--

So sweet.
