It was on the planet Skaro that my old enemy, the Master, was finally put on trial. They say he listened calmly as his list of evil crimes was read and sentence passed. Then he made his last, and I thought somewhat curious, request. He demanded that I, the Doctor, a rival Time Lord, should take his remains back to our home planet — Gallifrey. It was a request they should never have granted.

Lines by Eighth Doctor 5
[The Eighth Doctor's first words after regenerating.]
Who am I? Who am I? Who... Am... I?!
I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there.
I’m a Doctor. But probably not the one you were expecting.
I don’t suppose there’s any need for a Doctor anymore. Make me a warrior now...
Scenes with Eighth Doctor 11
[Explaining regeneration to a bemused Grace]: Don't you see? I have thirteen lives.
Please! Okay, you're trying to tell me that you've come back from the dead.
Yes.
No, sorry. The dead stay dead. You can't turn back time.
Yes, you can.
I'm not a child. Don't talk to me like I'm a child. Only children believe that crap. I am a doctor.
But it was a childish dream that made you a doctor. You dreamt you could hold back death. Isn't that true? [Beat] Don't be sad, Grace. You'll do great things.
Maybe you're the result of some weird genetic experiment.
I don't think so.
But you have no recollection of family?
No... No-no-no-no-wait-wait-wait-wait... I remember I'm-I-I... I'm with my father, we're lying back in the grass, it's a warm Gallifreyan night--
Gallifreyan?
Gallifrey! Yes! This must be where I live. Now, where is that?
I've never heard of it! What do you remember?
A meteor storm. The sky above us was dancing with lights! Purple, green, brilliant yellow... Yes!
What?!
These shoes! [Stomps the ground happily.] They fit perfectly!
You want dominion over the living, yet all you do is kill!
Life is wasted on the living!
Where are we going?
The back of the ship.
Why?
Because the front crashes first. Think it through.
Well, look on the bright side, I’m not a Dalek!
Who can tell the difference anymore?!
We’ve restored you to life, but it’s a temporary measure. You have a little under four minutes.
Four minutes? That’s ages! What if I get bored? I need a television, a couple of books? Anyone for chess? Bring me knitting.
You’re the Sisterhood of Karn! Keepers of the flame… of utter boredom.
Eternal life.
That’s the one.
She wanted to see the universe…
She didn’t miss much. It’s very nearly over.
I could’ve saved her. I could’ve got her off but she wouldn’t listen.
Then she was wiser than you. She understood there was no escaping the Time War. You are a part of this, Doctor. Whether you like it or not.
I would rather die.
You’re dead already. How many more will you let join you?
Will it hurt?
Yes.
Good. Charley, C'rizz, Lucie, Tamsin, Molly: Friends, companions I've known, I salute you. And Cass, I apologise. Physician, heal thyself...
Sorry, why are you not wearing...?
I don't do robes.
There's always one. Has to be "different"...
I am a manifestation of our consciousness, I can wear what I like.
