Reinette quotes from Doctor Who

[voice-over, as the Doctor reads] My dear Doctor: the path has never seemed more slow, and yet I fear I am nearing its end. Reason tells me that you and I are unlikely to meet again, but I think I shall not listen to reason. I have seen the world inside your head and know that all things are possible. Hurry though, my love: my days grow shorter now, and I am so very weak. Godspeed, my lonely angel.

Don't worry Reinette, it's just a nightmare. Everyone has nightmares; even big scary monsters from under the bed have nightmares, don't you, monster?

What do monsters have nightmares about?

Me! Ha!

Oh, such a lonely childhood.

It'll pass. Stay with me

Oh, Doctor. So lonely, so very very alone.

What do you mean, alone? You've never been alone in your life. [pause] When did you start calling me Doctor?

Such a lonely little boy. Lonely then and lonelier now. How can you bear it?

[stunned] How did you do that?

A door, once opened, can be stepped through in either direction. Oh, Doctor. My lonely Doctor. Dance with me.

The monsters and the Doctor. It seems you cannot have one without the other.

Tell me about it. The thing is, you weren't supposed to have either. Those creatures are messing with history. None of this was ever supposed to happen to you.

"Supposed to happen"? What does that mean? It happened, child, and I would not have it any other way. One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel.

Oh, this is my lover, the King of France.

[dismissive] Yeah? Well I'm the Lord of Time.
