“World War Three”
In this episode: Ninth Doctor (5), Rose Tyler (3), Mickey (2), Jackie (2)
[The Doctor is surrounded by armed policemen.]
[disguised as General Asquith] Under the jurisdiction of the Emergency Protocols, I authorize you to execute this man!
Ah, well, now, you see, uh, the thing is, if I was you, if I was gonna, uh, execute someone by backing them against the wall, between you and me, a little word of advice: [there is a ping and lift door slides open behind the Doctor] don't stand him against the lift! [he steps backwards and the lift door closes]
Installed in 1991. Three inches of steel lining every single wall. They'll never get in. [smiles triumphantly]
And how do we get out?
[still smiling, he looks around and then nods] Ah. [continues smiling]
[After being attacked by the Slitheen posing as a policeman]
We've got to tell someone.
Who do we trust? For all we know, they've all got big... bog monsters inside of 'em! I mean, this is what he does, Jacks. That Doctor bloke. Everywhere he goes, death and destruction. And he's got Rose in the middle of it.
Has he got a great big green thing inside him, then?
I wouldn't put it past him. But like it or not, he's the only person who knows how to fight these things.
There's a way out.
What?
There's always been a way out.
Then why don't we use it?
[to Jackie, over the phone] Because I can't guarantee your daughter will be safe.
Don't you dare! Whatever it is, don't you dare!
That's the thing. If I don't dare, everyone dies.
Do it.
You don't even know what it is. You'd just let me?
Yeah.
Please, Doctor, please, she's my daughter, she's just a kid.
Do you think I don't know that? 'Cause this is my life, Jackie - it's not fun, it's not smart, it's just standing up and making a decision. Because nobody else will.
Then what are you waiting for?
I could save the world but lose you.
My mother's cooking.
Good. Put her on a slow heat and let her simmer!
She's cooking tea. For us.
I don't do that.
She wants to get to know you.
Tough. I've got better things to do.
It's just tea.
Not to me, it isn't.
She's my mother!
Well, she's not mine!
That's not fair!
Well, you can stay there if you want. But right now, there's this plasma storm brewing in the Horsehead Nebula. Fires are burning ten million miles wide. I could fly the TARDIS right into the heart of it, then ride the shock wave all the way out, hurtle right across the sky and end up... anywhere. Your choice.
I just went down the shop, and I was thinking, you know, like, the whole world's changed. Aliens and spaceships, all in public. And here it is. [shows a newspaper dismissing the crashing Slitheen ship as a hoax] How could they do that?! They saw it!
They're just not ready. You're happy to believe in something that's invisible, but if it's staring you in the face, nope, can't see it. There's a scientific explanation for that: you're thick!
[amused] We're just idiots.
[smiling] Well, not all of you.
