“The Power of the Doctor” quotes from Doctor Who

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.

[First words] I know these teeth... What? What?! What?!

So... it was just the genetic material you put into them, was it? Maybe you should have included the brains. Next time, check for signs of a hologram. Schoolboy error. But then you were a rubbish schoolboy, too.

If you're a friend of the Doctor's, you aren't going to use that.

I'm freelance.

You lost. You gambled, and you lost. And now your body's failing because of what you put it through.

Maybe... But if I can't be the Doctor... Neither can you.

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?

A wise person once said to me... goodbyes only hurt because what came before was so special. Oh, and it's been so special. You... and Graham...and Ryan... and Dan. Nobody else got to be us. Nobody else got to live our days. Nobody. And my hearts are so full of love of all of you. Oh, I have loved being with you, Yaz. And I have loved being me. I think I need to do this next bit alone.

[last words] The blossomiest blossom... That's the only sad thing; I wanna know what happens next! Right then. Doctor whoever-I'm-about-to-be... Tag! You're it.
