Martha Jones quotes from Doctor Who

[to Martha] Captain Jack Harkness... and who are you?

Martha Jones.

Nice to meet you, Martha Jones.

[Irritated] Oh, don't start!

I was only saying 'hello'!

[flattered] I don't mind.

But the thing is, why'd you leave him behind, Doctor?

[dismissively] I was busy.

Is that what happens though, seriously? You just get bored of us one day and disappear?

Not if you're blonde.

[sarcastically] Oh, she was blonde! Oh, what a surprise!

[spinning around, irritated] You two, we're at the end of the universe. Okay?! Right at the edge of knowledge itself! And you're busy... [struggling to find the right word] BLOGGING!

So, Doctor, tell us. Who is he? How come the ancient race of Time Lords created a psychopath?

Yeah, and what is he to you? Like a colleague or...?

He was a friend, at first...

I thought you were going to say he was your secret brother or something.

[pause] You've been watching too much TV.

But all the legends of Gallifrey made it sound so perfect.

Well, perfect to look at, maybe. And it was, it was beautiful. They used to call it the Shining World of the Seven Systems. And on the continent of Wild Endeavour, in the mountains of Solace and Solitude, there stood the Citadel of the Time Lords. The oldest and most mighty race in the universe. Looking down on the galaxies below, sworn never to interfere, only to watch. Children of Gallifrey were taken from their families at the age of eight, to enter the Academy. Some say that's where it all began, when he was a child. That's when the Master saw eternity. As a novice, he was taken for initiation. He stood in front of the Untempered Schism. It's a gap in the fabric of reality through which could be seen the whole of the vortex. We stand there, eight years old, staring at the raw power of Time and Space, just a child. Some would be inspired. Some would run away. And some would go mad. Oh, I dunno.

What about you?

Oh, the ones that ran away! I never stopped.

Donna, do they know where you are? I mean, your family, that you're travelling with the Doctor?

Not really, although my granddad sort of waved us off. I didn't have time to explain.

You just left him behind?

Yeah.

I didn't tell my family. I kept it all so secret, and it almost destroyed them.

In what way?

They ended up imprisoned. They were tortured, my mum, my dad, my sister. It wasn't the Doctor's fault, but you need to be careful, because you know the Doctor's wonderful and he's brilliant, but he's like fire. Stand too close, and people get burned.

I don't know where we're going, but my old hand's very excited about it!

I thought that was some bloody alien thing! You're telling me it's yours?!

Well...

It got cut off. He grew a new one!

You are completely impossible!

Not impossible. Just a bit unlikely.
