Davros quotes from Doctor Who

Ah, I see you have been busy.

Whereas you have been stupid, Doctor.

Prerogative of a Time Lord.

The Daleks shall become Lords of Time! We shall become all-

Powerful! Crush the lesser races! Conquer the galaxy! UNIMAGINABLE POWER! UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING, ETCETERA, ETCETERA!

You have tricked me!

No, Davros. You tricked yourself.

Omega Device returning! Impact minus-25!

Did you think I would let you have the Hand of Omega?

Do not do this, I beg of you!

Nothing can stop it now!

[pathetically] Have pity on me!

I have pity for you!

15!

Goodbye Davros. It hasn't been pleasant.

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!

Skaro! You've brought me to Skaro.

Where does an old man go to die, but with his children?

See how they play with her. See how they toy. They want her to run. They need her to run. Do you feel their need, Doctor? Their blood is screaming, "kill, kill, kill"! Hunter and prey, held in the ecstasy of crisis. Is this not life at its purest? [Clara runs]

Exterminate! Exterminate! [the Daleks fire, Clara screams and vanishes as the death rays hit her]

Why have I ever let you live?

Compassion, Doctor. It has always been your greatest indulgence. Let this be my final victory. Let me hear you say it, just once. Compassion is wrong.

Are you going to save me?

I'm going to save my friend, the only way I can! Exterminate!

There's no such thing as the Doctor. I’m just a bloke in a box telling stories. I didn’t come here because I'm ashamed. A bit of shame never hurt anyone. I came… because you're sick and you asked. And because sometimes, on a good day, if I try very hard… I’m not some old Time Lord who ran away. I'm the Doctor.

Compassion, then.

Always.

There is a question, Doctor. One I have longed to ask.

Yeah, well, if you're going to put your hand on my knee, it isn't going to go well.

Why did you leave Gallifrey?

Well, because I did.

You stole a TARDIS, and ran and ran. Why?

It's a boring place, Gallifrey. I was going out of my mind.

Yet you long to return.

Ah, well, I'm inconsistent.

But it is always the same lie.

What lie?

You weren't bored. No one runs the way you have run for so small a reason.

Did I do right, Doctor? Tell me… was I right? I need to know, before the end. Am I a good man?

You really are dying, aren't you?

Look at me. Did you doubt it?

Yes.

Then we have established one thing only.

What?

You are not… a good doctor. [After a moment, the Doctor laughs, and Davros laughs with him.]

Come on. I'll take you home.

Which side are you on? Are you the enemy?

I'm not sure if any of that matters. Friends. Enemies. So long as there is mercy. Always mercy.
