Eighth Doctor quotes from Doctor Who

Well. You’re obviously one of the more determined of us. Hm?

I'm sorry?

You refused to pass through. Quite the strength of character, this incarnation.

The question is, what are we going to do about it now?

Do about what?

Our predicament. This is supposed to get handed on - you can’t just ruin it for the next one.

And you were doing so well.

Um - where am I, exactly? Cos the last thing I remember, is being forced to regenerate.

That’s why we’re here. To stop you moving through any further. You’re not finished. We are not finished.

We being?

The Doctor.

Vestiges of your consciousness.

Fragments of yourself.

From the past.

Guardians of the Edge.

Why are you not...?

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.

Could we just focus on this? Whatever this is. You said Guardians of the Edge. The edge of what?

Existence.

It’s symbolic, obviously. Consciousness will do that. But this is the place you pass through, during the process of regeneration. Go past here, there’s no way back.

But time’s running out. We cannot let the Master permanently hijack our existence.

Yes. Very aware of that. But I’m thinking, in the immediate aftermath of regeneration, the body’s weak. Unstable, while it reforms.

Ah good, yes! Even more so, with a forced regeneration.

So until it’s settled, he may be vulnerable. We’d need help on the outside. But that’s easier said than done.

Unless one of us, or all of us, was very clever. I mean, that’s why you’ve manifested here, to remind me: there’s always a way. Things will work out. Right?
