Doctor Who quotes

You have changed your appearance before. You will do it again; that is part of the sentence.

You can't just change what I look like without consulting me!

You will have the opportunity to choose your appearance.

Oh, then it won't be so bad. But I warn you, I'm very particular.

Here is your first choice.

He's too old! [Looks at the other choices] Well, he's too fat, isn't he? No, he's too thin! That one's too young! Oh now, that won't do at all, it's ridiculous!

You're wasting time, Doctor.

Well, it's not my fault, is it? Is this the best you can do? I've never seen such an incredible bunch!

Since you refuse to take the decision, the decision will be taken for you.

No, no, no, I never said that! But I maintain I have the right to decide what I look like! It could be very important on the Earth. People on Earth attach a very great deal of importance- [Disappears]

Is this some sort of joke? No, I refuse to be treated in- What are you doing? NO!!!! STOP! You're making me giddy! No, you can't do this to me! No, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.....!

You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!?

Gave us no warning, sir.

How could he with his mouth taped?

Doctor Lomax, I took that blood sample from an adult male patient. Now you tell me that it's not human blood! I don't know if that makes me a doctor or a vet. But it's still my job to look after him.

How are you feeling?

Shoes.

All right, all right, I suppose you want to see my pass? Yes, well, I haven't got one. And I'm not going to tell you my name, either. Now you just tell Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart that I want to see him. Well, don't just stand there arguing with me, man! Get on with it!

My goodness, no. Don't you realise that when I was stranded on this little planet of yours, I had nothing but these clothes that I... Oh, my goodness!

What is it, Doctor?

Well, I've just realised. I don't even own these. I borrowed them from the hospital. And there's that car, too. Yes, you know, I took to that car. It had character.

No, Doctor. That car must be returned to its owner.

Must it? Yes, yes, I suppose it must. Still, there's no reason why you couldn't find me something similar, is there? I mean, it could persuade me to stay, you know.

Oh, very well.

Good. When can we go and choose it?

Not yet. I must arrange for a full set of papers first. By the way, I've just realised. I don't even know your name.

Smith. Doctor John Smith.

My dear Miss Shaw, I never report myself anywhere, particularly not forthwith.

But I still don't understand why you stayed down here.

The hibernation mechanism was faulty. It did not function until a new energy source appeared.

The power station at the research centre?

Yes. We are now able to drain off its energy. But soon we shall revive our civilisation, and reclaim the Earth for ourselves.

No, you mustn't! Otherwise there'll be the most terrible war! But if you trust me, I think I can persuade the humans that you are prepared to live with them on this planet in peace.

There is not room for both civilisations.

Oh yes, I think there is. You see, your people are used to living in extreme heat, whereas these areas on Earth are of little interest to man. I believe, with your advanced technology, that you could build cities in parts of the world that man has hitherto completely ignored.

[pauses in thought for a moment] Would your people agree to this?

Well, they're not my people. But I think I could convince them, on the condition that you release those trapped men first.

Those apes have only shown hostility to us!

And you to them! Someone has to make a move, otherwise this whole thing will end up in complete catastrophe.

Why have you released the apes?!

I have decided that it is possible for the two species to live together on this planet.

This planet is ours!

This other species has developed its own civilisation. We must accept them as equals.

I disagree! [turns to leave, but then turns back to face Okdel] We must destroy them! [storms off]

Well, I'll tell you something that should be of vital interest to you.

And what's that?

That you, Sir, are a NITWIT!

So, free will is not an illusion after all.

But I don't exist in your world!

(Sarcastically) Then you won't feel the bullets when we shoot you.
