MY people's, salutations this, the eve of war, lovely woman. But I know there's all sorts of whispers down there, stories of a child walking the earth, giving you hope. But I ask you, how much hope has this man got? [He brings The Aged Doctor forwards] Say hello, Gandalf. Except, he's not that old. He's an alien, with a much greater lifespan than you, stunted little apes! What if I suspend your capacity, to Regenerate, all 900 years of your life, Doctor, if we can see them. [He starts aging The Doctor again, With everyone looking, Captain Jack eyeing the screen in terror.]
I travelled across the world. From the ruins of New York, to the fusion mills of China, right across the radiation pits of Europe. And everywhere I went I saw people just like you, living as slaves! But if Martha Jones became a legend then that's wrong, because my name isn't important. There's someone else. The man who sent me out there, the man who told me to walk the Earth. And his name is the Doctor. He has saved your lives so many times and you never even knew he was there. He never stops. He never stays. He never asks to be thanked. But I've seen him, I know him... I love him... And I know what he can do.
[breaking down] But you've got to. Come on. It can't end like this. You and me, all the things we've done. [beginning to cry] Axons, remember the Axons? And the Daleks? We're the only two left. I have no one else. REGENERATE!
[worried] But I keep wondering...what about aging? 'Cause, I can't die, but I keep getting older...The odd little grey hair, you know? What happens if I live for a million years?
[laughs] Okay, vanity, sorry. Yeah, can't help it. Used to be a poster boy when I was a kid, living on the Boeshane Peninsula. Tiny little place. I was the first one ever to be signed up for the Time Agency. They were so proud of me...The Face of Boe, they called me. [The Doctor and Martha look at him in shock]
