Donna quotes from Doctor Who

[to Jenny, about the Doctor] He saves planets, rescues civilizations, defeats terrible creatures... and runs a lot. Seriously, there is an outrageous amount of running involved.

Now, you two, if you don't mind, there is a great big universe out there calling, and I've gotta get going. So off you pop, old man.

You're the old man; you're older than me!

Actually, that is true. He's younger, 'cause you came after him, so you're the older Doctor.

Okay, kid. I love you, get out.

Hey. We did it.

But how many died down there?

That's not your fault!

You can't save everyone.

Why not?

Come here. I've got you, yeah? It's okay. I'm here.

You know what I did, when you went flying off in your blue box, spaceman? I stayed in one place, and I lived day after day after day.

It would drive me mad.

Yeah, it does. But you keep on going, and that's the adventure. The one adventure you've never had. 'Cause I've... I've worked out what happened. You changed your face, and then you found me. D'you know why?

No.

To come home.

You don't have to stay forever.

We'll see.

D'you miss it? Out there?

Funny thing is, I fought all those battles for all those years. And now I know what for. This! I've never been so happy in my life...

There is one person missing -- I used to know your granddad, Wilf.

He's not with us anymore.

Right. 'Course. He wasn't young, he was... I loved that man. I'm so sorry for your loss.

He's not dead.

You idiot!

I think... All that coincidence was heading here, to save London from burning. 'Cause you and I can stop this ship, together. But it will kill you.

Okay.

You'll die!

My daughter is down there! And it's not just Rose -- it's nine million people! Who cares about me?

I do!

Why?! I'm just no one!

No you are not! Why does it have to be this?!

You've been given a second chance. You can do things different this time! So why don't you do something completely new... and have some friends?

Yeah. Maybe, yeah.

Back on Earth, when I was the DoctorDonna, I saw your mind. I've had fifteen years without you, and I saw everything that's happened to you since, and oh my God, it hurt!

...You're saying this to break me down.

But we haven't stopped to talk, we haven't had a chance! It's always like that with you -- running from one thing to the next. I saw it! In your head... The Flux.

It destroyed half the universe, because of me. We stand here now, on the edge of creation, a creation which I devastated, so yes I keep running! Of course I do! How am I supposed to look back on that?!

It wasn't your fault!

I know!

...I'm sorry.

Donna, is that you?

Yeah.

All those years, I missed you.

I couldn't keep it together! You are so amazing! We stare at that universe, so far away. But you have owned it! You are such a prize! What are ya?!

We drifted here, in the lack of light. Passing no time. But we would feel it, from so far away. Your noisy, boiling universe. We want to travel there. To play your vicious games, and win.

But if you existed here, no shape, no form, no purpose, then what's made you so bad?

The things we've felt have shaped us, carrying across the dark. We could hear your lives of war, and blood and fury and hate... They made us like this.

We are more than that!

Love letters don't travel very far. And neither do your lies.

Oh, I keep thinking "I wish I hadn't done that thing with the salt."

What, the bad luck thing? That was just a lie!

Normally, except... I invoked a superstition at the edge of the universe, where the walls are thin and all things are possible. Just got this feeling.

What?

The feeling of something... which is gone. Fine, good! Onwards!

Oi! No stupid Martian is gonna stop me from getting married. To hell with you!

[tiredly] I'm... I'm not... I'm not-I'm not from Mars...

Do you have this effect on everyone? Why aren't they stopping?

They think I'm in fancy dress.

Stay off the scotch, darlin'!

They think I'm drunk.

You're fooling no one, mate!

They think I'm in drag!

You had the reception without me?

Hello. I'm the Doctor.

They had the reception without me!

Yes, I gather.

Oh, is that what she's offered you, the Empress of the Racnoss? What are you, her consort?

[glances at Donna] It's better than a night with her.

But I love you.

That's what made it easy. It's like you said, Doctor. The big picture. What's the point of it all if the human race is nothing? That's what the Empress can give me. The chance to... to go out there to see it, the size of it all. I think you understand that, don't you, Doctor?
