Doctor Who quotes

Do you have this effect on everyone? Why aren't they stopping?

They think I'm in fancy dress.

Stay off the scotch, darlin'!

They think I'm drunk.

You're fooling no one, mate!

They think I'm in drag!

You had the reception without me?

Hello. I'm the Doctor.

They had the reception without me!

Yes, I gather.

Oh, is that what she's offered you, the Empress of the Racnoss? What are you, her consort?

[glances at Donna] It's better than a night with her.

But I love you.

That's what made it easy. It's like you said, Doctor. The big picture. What's the point of it all if the human race is nothing? That's what the Empress can give me. The chance to... to go out there to see it, the size of it all. I think you understand that, don't you, Doctor?

[excited and happy] It's Christmas!

Guess what I've got, Donna? [holds up the roboform remote control] Pockets!

[surprised] How did that fit in there?

They're bigger on the inside.

Roboforms are not necessary. My children may feast on Martian flesh!

Oh, but I'm not from Mars.

Then where?

My home planet is far away and long since gone. But its name lives on: Gallifrey.

There's a thunderstorm moving in and lightning is a form of static electricity, as was first proven by—anyone?

Benjamin Franklin.

Correct.

My mate Ben. That was a day and a half: I got rope burns off that kite, and then I got soaked...

Quite.

...and then I got electrocuted!

[now ignoring him] Moving on. [to a nurse] I think perhaps a visit from Psychiatric.

You're talking like you're some sort of alien.

Quite so.

[feigning shock] No!

Oh, yes.

You're joshing me!

I am not.

I'm talking to an alien? In hospital?! What, has this place got an E.T. department or something?

Crossing into established events is strictly forbidden. Except for cheap tricks.

[bewildered upon entering the TARDIS] How does it do that? It's wood! It's like a box with that room just crammed in. It's... [The Doctor mouths the next few words along with her] bigger on the inside!

[sarcastically] Is it?!?! I hadn't noticed! [The Doctor Throws His Trenchcoat On a Coral] Right then, Let's get going!

[After travelling to 1599] But are we safe? Can we move around and stuff?

Of course we can. Why do you ask?

It's like in the films! You step on a butterfly, you change the future of the human race!

[Bemused] I'll tell you what, then: don't...step on any butterflies. What have butterflies ever done to you?

What if...I dunno! What if I kill my grandfather?!

Are you planning to?

No.

Well, then.

"Rage, rage against the dying of the light..."

I might use that.

You can't, it's someone else's.

Come on! We can all have a good flirt later!

Is that a promise, Doctor?

Oooh, 57 academics just punched the air!

So, magic and stuff. That's a surprise. It's all a little bit Harry Potter.

Wait 'til you read Book Seven. Oh, I cried.

[in the asylum] Do you honestly think this place is any good?

I've been mad. I've lost my mind. Fear of this place set me right again. It serves its purpose.

Mad in what way?

You lost your son.

My only boy. The Black Death took him. I wasn't even there.

I didn't know, I'm sorry.

It made me question everything. The futility of this fleeting existence. To be or not to be... Ooh. That's quite good.

You should write that down.

Hmm, maybe not. Bit pretentious?

Meh...

When you say "last time", was that you and Rose?

Um, yeah. Yeah, it was, yeah.

[looking put out] You're taking me to the same planets that you took her?

What's wrong with that?

Nothing! Just, ever heard of the word "rebound"?
