“The Almost People” quotes from Doctor Who

Ahhhhhh!

What's happening?

[imitating the First Doctor] One day we should come back, yes one day... Ahhh! Ahhh! [in the voice of the Third Doctor] Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

The Flesh is struggling to cope with our past regenerations. Hold on.

[in the voice of the Fourth Doctor] Would you like a jelly baby? Why? Why? Why?!

Why? Why what?

[in the voice of the Tenth Doctor] Hello, I'm the Doctor. [back to normal voice, but terrified] No! Let it go! We've, we've moved on!

Listen, hold on, hold on. You can stabilise.

I've reversed the jelly baby of the neutron flow. I'm the— would you like a— Doctor... Doctor... I'm... I'm the...

So what's the plan?

Save them all—humans and Gangers.

[having tricked Amy and others into believing he is the Ganger version] Interesting. You definitely feel more affection for him than me.

No, no— but you're fine and everything, but he's The Doctor— no offense: being almost the Doctor is pretty damn impressive.

Being "almost the Doctor" is like being no Doctor at all.

Don't overreact!

[angry] You might as well call me Smith!

I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams.

Why? It's all the eyes say: "Why?" I can feel them—as they work each day knowing the time was coming for them to be thrown away again— not again— please. And then they are destroyed, and they feel death and all they can say is "why?"
