Martha Jones quotes from Doctor Who

I travelled across the world. From the ruins of New York, to the fusion mills of China, right across the radiation pits of Europe. And everywhere I went I saw people just like you, living as slaves! But if Martha Jones became a legend then that's wrong, because my name isn't important. There's someone else. The man who sent me out there, the man who told me to walk the Earth. And his name is the Doctor. He has saved your lives so many times and you never even knew he was there. He never stops. He never stays. He never asks to be thanked. But I've seen him, I know him... I love him... And I know what he can do.

[having trouble speaking] My heart... is getting slower.

[apologetic] There's nothing I can do.

In your mind you've got so many plans. There's so much that you want to do.

And I will. "Never do tomorrow what you can do today," my mum says, "'Cos—

[finishing the quote] —"'Cos you never know how long you've got, Martha Jones... all that life..."

I hope that knife's been properly sterilized.

Blasphemer!

No, no, you can catch all sorts of things from a dirty knife- lockjaw, tetanus, not to mention staphylococcal infections...

I won't be a party to this!

Good for you!

[bewildered upon entering the TARDIS] How does it do that? It's wood! It's like a box with that room just crammed in. It's... [The Doctor mouths the next few words along with her] bigger on the inside!

[sarcastically] Is it?!?! I hadn't noticed! [The Doctor Throws His Trenchcoat On a Coral] Right then, Let's get going!

[After travelling to 1599] But are we safe? Can we move around and stuff?

Of course we can. Why do you ask?

It's like in the films! You step on a butterfly, you change the future of the human race!

[Bemused] I'll tell you what, then: don't...step on any butterflies. What have butterflies ever done to you?

What if...I dunno! What if I kill my grandfather?!

Are you planning to?

No.

Well, then.

So, magic and stuff. That's a surprise. It's all a little bit Harry Potter.

Wait 'til you read Book Seven. Oh, I cried.

[in the asylum] Do you honestly think this place is any good?

I've been mad. I've lost my mind. Fear of this place set me right again. It serves its purpose.

Mad in what way?

You lost your son.

My only boy. The Black Death took him. I wasn't even there.

I didn't know, I'm sorry.

It made me question everything. The futility of this fleeting existence. To be or not to be... Ooh. That's quite good.

You should write that down.

Hmm, maybe not. Bit pretentious?

Meh...

When you say "last time", was that you and Rose?

Um, yeah. Yeah, it was, yeah.

[looking put out] You're taking me to the same planets that you took her?

What's wrong with that?

Nothing! Just, ever heard of the word "rebound"?

He said, "last of your kind". What does that mean?

It really doesn't matter.

You don't talk. You never say! Why not?

It's the city. They're singing.

I lied to you, 'cos I liked it. I could pretend, just for a bit, I could imagine they were still alive... underneath that burnt orange sky. I'm not just a Time Lord, I'm the last of the Time Lords. The Face of Boe was wrong. There's no one else.

What happened?

There was a war. A Time War. The Last Great Time War. My people fought a race called the Daleks... for the sake of all creation. And they lost. We lost. Everyone lost. They're all gone now. My family. My friends. Even that sky. [reminiscent] Oh, you should have seen it, that old planet! The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver. When they caught the light, every morning it looked like a forest on fire. When the Autumn came, a brilliant glow through the branches...

Hey, you're lucky though. Got yourself a forward thinking guy with that hot potato in the sharp suit.

Oh, he's not... We're not... together.

Sure you are! I've seen the way you look at him, it's obvious.

Not to him.

Oh, I should have realized. He's into musical theatre.

I still don't understand where that thing came from. Is it alien?

No, for once it's strictly human in origin.

Human?! How can it be human?!

Probably from dormant genes in Lazarus's DNA. The energy field in this thing must have reactivated them. And it looks like they're becoming dominant.

So it's a throwback.

Some option that evolution rejected for you millions of years ago. But the potential is still there, locked away in your genes, forgotten about until Lazarus unlocked it by mistake.

It's like Pandora's box.

Exactly. Nice shoes, by the way.

Oh God, he seems so... human again. It's kind of pitiful.

Eliot saw that too. "This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper."

[over the intercom] Doctor?

What is it now?!

Who had the most number ones, Elvis or the Beatles? That's pre-download.

Elvis. No! The Beatles. No! Wait, um... um... awww, that remix... um... I don't know, I am a bit busy.

Fine, I'll ask someone else.

Now where was I?... Here comes the sun... No, resources.

[to Martha] Tell me then, Jones. With hands like those, how can you tell when something's clean? [Baines and Hutchinson laugh and leave]

That's very funny, sir.

Careful, now. Don't answer back.

I'd answer back with my bucket over his head.

All you have to do is open it and he's back.

You knew this all along, and yet you watched while Nurse Redfern and I--

I didn't know how to stop you! He gave me a list of things to watch out for, but that wasn't included.

Falling in love? That didn't even occur to him?

[she hesitates] No.

[teary-eyed] Then what sort of a man is that?! And now you expect me to die?!

It was always going to end, though! The Doctor said the Family's got a limited lifespan, and that's why they need to consume a Time Lord. Otherwise, three months and they die. Like mayflies, he said.

So your job was to execute me.

People are dying out there! They need him, and I need him! Because you've got no idea what he's like. I've only just met him, it wasn't even that long ago, but... he is everything. He's just everything to me, and he doesn't even look at me, but I don't care. Because I love him to bits. And I hope to God he won't remember me saying this.
