Bill quotes from Doctor Who

Can't I ever have peace? Can't I rest?

Of course you can.

It's your choice.

Only yours.

We understand.

No. No, you don't. You're not even really here. You're just memories, held in glass. Do you know how many of you I could fill? I would shatter you. My Testimony would shatter all of you. A life this long -- do you understand what it is? It's a battlefield, like this one. It's empty. Because everyone else has fallen. Thank you. Thank you both, for everything that you were to me. What happens now... Where I go now.. has to be alone.

Why'd you run like that?

Like what?

Like a penguin with his arse on fire.

Ergonomics. [points to his reflection in the puddle] That's my face, yeah?

You seem a bit flexible on the subject.

Oh, you have no idea.

[about the TARDIS] Doctor, it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside!

Hey hey, we got there!

How is that possible? How'd he do that?

Well, first, you have to imagine a very big box fitting inside a very small box.

Okay.

Then you have to make one. It's the second part people normally get stuck on.

Is everything out here evil?

Hardly anything is evil. But most things are hungry. Hunger looks very like evil from the wrong end of the cutlery. Or do you think that your bacon sandwich loves you back?

What changed your mind?

Time.

Time?

And relative dimension in space. [Opens the TARDIS door with a snap] It means… "What the hell."

Why are you Scottish?

I'm not Scottish, I'm just cross!

What's the opposite of a massacre?

OK, what?

In my experience, a lecture.

I re-initialised the entire command structure, retaining all programmed abilities but deleting the supplementary preference architecture.

He turned it off and on again.

So how do we stay out of trouble?

Well, I'm not the right person to ask.

Travelling to the past, there's got to be rules. If I step on a butterfly, it could send ripples through time that mean I'm not even born yet in the first place, and I could just disappear.

Definitely. I mean, that's what happened to Pete.

Pete?

Your friend, Pete. He was standing there a moment ago. He stepped on a butterfly. Now you don't even remember him.

Shut up! I'm being serious.

So was Pete.

Regency England. Bit more black than they show in the movies.

So was Jesus. History's a whitewash.

If you care so much, tell me how many people you've seen die?

I don't know.

Okay. How many before you lost count?

I care, Bill. But I move on.

Yeah, how quickly?

It's not me you're angry with.

Have you ever killed anyone? There's a look in your eyes sometimes that makes me wonder. Have you?

There are situations when the options available are limited.

Not what I asked.

Sometimes the choices are very-

That's not what I asked!

Yes.

How many?

Don't tell me. (disgusted) You've moved on.

And you know what happens if I don't move on? More people die. There are kids living rough near here, they may well be next on the menu. Do you want to help me, or do you want to stand here stamping your foot? Because let me tell you something, I'm 2,000 years old... and I have never had the time for the luxury of outrage.

OK, now's the time for the plan.

That was it. No plan. Info-dump, then busk it.

Well, start busking!

[walking around the TARDIS console] The end of your life… has already begun. There is a last place you will ever go. The last door you will ever walk through. A last sight you will ever see. And every step you ever take… is moving you closer. The end of the world is a billion, billion tiny moments. And somewhere unnoticed, in silence or in darkness… it has already begun.

[from outside the TARDIS] Are you talking to yourself in there?

I'm meditating.

It's an alien spaceship.

There you go.

But what's it doing?

It could have chosen anywhere on this planet. It chose to sit on the strategic intersection of the three most powerful armies on Earth. So what it's doing, Colonel, is sending us a message.

What message?

"Bring it."
