Kate Stewart quotes from Doctor Who

Aw for Pete's sake, Doc, tell 'em you're Holliday! You can take on all four of 'em any time.

Yes, I'm sorry, gentleman, but this is Holliday's young girlfriend, and she's only lying to protect him. Now, as I've already told you about this gun.

Okay, don't try it, fellas. Nice shooting, Doc, but ya should have got him between the eyes.

Between the who?

The eyes.

Oh, my dear young lady, I, I, I, I...

Kill the next one that moves.

Yes, yes, quite so, quite so. Very good idea. Excellent. Well, you heard. Steven, get their guns!

My father... He'd tell me stories about you when I was a kid. We'd sit there in the firelight, telling tales of the Doctor, his eyes shining. But he never ever mentioned a granddaughter.

I was a different Doctor back then, Kate. Great enigma. Still can't shake it off. I'm trying.

If you've got a granddaughter, that means you've got kids!

Well, not quite. Not yet.

What? You mean... you can have a granddaughter before a granddaughter?

Life of a Time Lord.

...Okay. The grandchild exists, and you've got the TARDIS, but you've never come back to see her. Why not?

You've seen my life. I bring disaster, Kate. Disaster. What if I go back and I ruin her?

For what it's worth, I think you bring joy.

He is hidden in the howling void, he is hidden within the tempest...

What...?

He has braved the storm, and the darkness, and the pain. And he whispered to the vessel.

Wh-- Who has? What do you mean?

For all this time, he whispered, and delighted, and seduced, and the vessel did obey, for none shall be more mighty and none shall be more wise than the king himself.

Harriet. What are you doing?

And the Lord of Time was blind and vain and knew nothing.

But who am I?!

There is the Toymaker, the god of games. There is Trickster, the god of traps. There is Maestro, the god of music. There is Reprobate, the god of spite.

No, no, no! Get away from her! Don't touch her!

There is the Mara, the god of beasts, and the threefold deity of malice and mischief and misery.

Warning. Manifestation.

There are gods of skin and shame and secrets.

Doctor, she needs you!

There is Incensor, the god of disaster, and her children called Doubt and Dread. And standing on high is the mother and father and other of them all.

Whatever it is... here it comes.

For the god of all gods has returned. And his names are many. His name has been Set, and Seth, and Sithifer. And his one true name for evermore is... Sutekh!

...It was the wrong anagram.

Probable trap... 100%.

Mel, get away from her. Both of you, don't let her touch you!

Bailey, get back. Leave her alone.

You said you were a doctor! Why don't you try to help...?

Sutekh is the god of death, and by his hand, all creation shall fall into dust and ashes and ruin!

I bring Sutekh's gift of death... to all humanity.

Sutekh

I am Sutekh, the god of death. I am the night. I am the terror. I am the loss.

[approached by a robed, hooded figure] Mum?

Sutekh

And all life will perish at my hand! [laughs]

Did you think I was family, Doctor? I bring Sutekh's gift of death... for you, and for all in your tiny, vile, incessant universe!

Conrad, what are they talking about? What the hell is going on?!

We are Think Tank. Exposing the lies perpetrated by UNIT! By you. [to UNIT guards] And we're live streaming, so don't get trigger-happy.

This isn't funny.

[chuckles] I've had to listen to your stories for weeks now. Put up with your insecurity and vanity, listen to your tedious piano solos and get smothered in lip gloss! It has been a chore getting to know you! [shrugs] But now it's all worth it.

Put that phone down.

Or what? Gonna arrest me, huh? This is censorship! Touch us and we'll sue. We will bankrupt you.

[mockingly scaring Ruby] Boo!

You've made a very big, very dangerous mistake tonight, Conrad.

You don't even remember me, do you? [to the phones] The only monsters out here are UNIT! Lying to the public! Spending our money! Hiding in your tower, and doing what, huh? Doing what?

Protecting people like you.

Oh, they can't stop lying! There are no Shreek! No Cybermen, no Sycorax, no Yetis in the Underground! Here, look! Look! [holds up a Shreek mask] They're stooges and actors, and special effects paid for using taxpayers' money, to keep us scared, to hide their real agenda!

The threat to this planet is real!

If you want evidence, I've got plenty of it, so you can--

This one's collecting benefits, stealing our taxes while she lies to us. But the lies stop today. There are people all over the world watching this. Sharing, reposting, demanding the truth! They're using you! All of you! For her dirty work.

Do you think UNIT can't handle a few reject cosplayers? Because that's all you are, Conrad.

[with cruel smugness] You've gifted me this moment, Ruby Sunday. Is that even your name, by the way? Cos it's ridiculous!

I want a confession. On camera. Admit to the lies. Show us the monster costumes. Show us the tech that you're hiding, that we paid for.

You're deluded--

[in mocking sing-song] The grown-ups are talking! [to Kate] Come on, Commander-in-chief. Admit! Or are you a coward, like your father was?

[seething with anger] You should be very careful what you say about my father.

His only legacy was a pack of lies.

He was a hundred times the man you are. And that gun is UNIT issue, so where's Jordan Lang?

[clearly feigning ignorance] Who?

He's been shot. Ground team are rushing him to the infirmary.

You shot someone to get in here?

It's nothing to do with me.

[appalled] A man's life is hanging in the balance, and you're not even sorry.

Maybe you shot him! Or he was an actor. Or he never existed.

[to the Cybermen] Afternoon. You've picked a lovely day for it. My, don't you look shiny? [to the Doctor] Haircut?

Bit of a trim.

Might want to do your roots. [motions to a soldier to take Missy] The woman. [to the Cybermen] Kate Stewart: divorcee, mother of two, keen gardener, outstanding bridge player. Also, Chief Scientific Officer of the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, who currently have you surrounded.

Human weaponry is not effective against Cyber technology.

Sorry, you left this behind on one of your previous attempts. [throws down a damaged Cyberman head.] So, now that I have your attention, welcome to the only planet on the universe where we get to say this: He's on the payroll.

Am I?

Well, technically.

How much?

Shush. [to the Cybermen] Any questions?

Hang on a second. "The President"? [walks away from the side table, to the main table] We don't want Americans, bombing around the place. [sits down] They'll only start praying.

[approaches the table] Not the President of America, sir, the President of Earth.

[carelessly, whilst filling his cup with sugar cubes] There isn't one.

There is now.

The incursion protocols have been agreed internationally. [to the Doctor, directly] In the event of full-scale invasion, an Earth President is inducted immediately, with complete authority over every nation state. [laughs briefly] Well, there was only one practical candidate. [indicates the Doctor]

[still fixated on his drink] That's your answer for everything, isn't it? [looks up, visibly annoyed] "Vote for an idiot."

If you say so, Mister President. So long as you are on this plane, you're the Commander-in-Chief of every army on Earth. Every world leader is currently awaiting your instructions. You are the chief executive officer of the human race. Any questions?

You left us with an impossible situation, Doctor.

Yeah, it's called peace.

How did you survive?

Five rounds, rapid.
