Doctor Who quotes

Shh. Does everybody hear that? Do you know what that sound was?

What?

(yelling) That was the sound of my PATIENCE shattering into a billion little pieces!!! Now, there are only two things I need to know: where is my friend, and what destroyed the Roman army???

Are you sulking?

I'm remembering the dead.

Ah, right. Well, save that for old age.

They're dead because of me.

You know, every moment you waste wallowing about in unhappy thought means more of the living are going to join them. If you want to win a war, remember this: it’s not about you. Believe me, I know. Time to grow up. Time to fight your fight.

Sir, I must protest in the strongest, most upset terms possible! Don't make me go squeaky-voiced.

See, that's what I'm trying to teach you, Missy. You understand the universe, you see it and you grasp it, but you've never learned to hear the music.

I don't even know why I'm crying. Why? Why do I keep doing that now?

I don't know. Maybe you're trying to impress me.

Yes. Probably some devious plan. That sounds about right.

The alternative would be much worse.

Really?

The alternative is that this is for real, and it's time for us to become friends again.

Do you think so?

I don't know. That's the trouble with hope. It's hard to resist.

Hello? Who’s there, hello? Please report status.

Ooh, look at this one! You’re probably handsome, aren’t you? Congratulations on your relative symmetry.

Who are you?

Well, I'm that mysterious adventurer in time and space, known only as Doctor Who, and these are my disposables - Exposition and Comic Relief.

We're not functions!

Darling, those were genders.

Are you having an emotion?

I know I can help her.

Yeah! Look at that face, he's having an emotion! Yeah! Yes, look at that bit, he's doing emotions.

Oh, leave him alone!

Can I take a selfie with you?

She was my first friends. Always so brilliant, from the first day at the Academy. So fast, so funny! She was my man crush.

I'm sorry?

Yeah. I think she was a man back then, I'm fairly sure that I was, too. It was a long time ago.

So, like, Time Lords... Bit flexible on the whole, like, "man/woman" thing, yeah?

We're the most civilized civilization in the universe. We're billions of years beyond your petty human obsession with gender and its associated stereotypes.

But you still call yourselves "Time Lords".

(beat) Yeah, shut up.

We had a pact, me and him: Every star in the universe! We were going to see them all. But he was too busy burning them... and I don't think she ever saw anything.

Bill? Bill, talk to me. What have they done to you?

Operation Exodus… whatever that is.

[from behind them] Well, wrong name, for a start.

I… waited.

[standing at one side of Bill] This is not an exodus, is it? More of a beginning, really, isn't it?

I… waited.

[from behind the Doctor] In fact, d'you know what I'd call it? [enters and stands on the other side of Bill]

I'd call it a genesis.

You've met the ex.

Specifically… the genesis of the Cybermen.

[pointing at the Doctor] I… waited… for you. [a single tear runs from Bill's left eye and through her cybermask]

I remember that you said you could fix this, that you could get me back, did you say that?

I did say that, yes.

Were you lying?

No.

Were you right?

...no.

Telos! Sealed you into your ice tombs! Voga! Canary Wharf! Planet 14! Every single time, you lose... even on the Moon.

Hello... I'm the Doctor.

Doctors are not required.

No, I'm not a Doctor, I am the Doctor! The original, you might say...

Pity. No stars. I hoped there'd be stars...

Sontarans, perverting the course of human history! I don't want to go! When the Doctor... when the Doctor was me! When The Doctor was me. It's starting. I'm regenerating! [Regeneration energy starts to come out out of The Doctor's hands.] No, no, no, no, no, no! [The regeneration energy stops. The TARDIS lands.] Where have you taken me? If you're trying to prove a point, I'm not listening. I don't want to change again. Never again! I can't keep on being someone else! Whatever it is, I'm staying.
