“Doctor Who (1996 film)” quotes from Doctor Who

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.

Who am I? Who am I? Who... Am... I?!

[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!

I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there.

You want dominion over the living, yet all you do is kill!

Life is wasted on the living!
