Doctor Who quotes

My mother will destroy you!

Just between you and me, Mordred, I'm getting a little tired of hearing about your mother.

Exotic alien swords are easy to come by, Aces are rare.

That, Brigadier, was the beginning of the end of the world.

Same as ever, eh Doctor?

Right, you just, uh, shoot the bullets into it?

Simple, isn't it? Just like most killings...

Sorry, Doctor, but I think I'm rather more expendable than you are!

Pitiful. Can this world do no better than you as their champion?

Probably. I just do the best I can.

You stupid, stubborn, thickheaded numbskull! You were supposed to die in bed! I could've handled it, done your job...

Nonsense, Doctor!

You're supposed to be dead!

Ace?

Ace

Yes Brigadier?

I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. He's all yours from now on. I'm going home to Doris.

Doris?

Yes, my wife.

Hahaha! So she caught you in the end?!

If this missile explodes, millions will die. You will die.

Then I shall die with honor!

All over the world, fools are poised, ready to let death fly. Machines of death, Morgaine! screaming from above, of light brighter than the sun! Not a war between armies, nor a war between nations, but just death! Death gone mad! A child looks up at the sky, his eyes turn to cinders. No more tears, only ashes. Is this honor? Is this war? Are these the weapons you would use?

Arthur, who burned like starfire...

Gone.

And was as beautiful.

At the season when ice floods swamped the pasturelands, we herded the mammoths sunwards to find new grazing.

Tricky things, mammoths.

Ace

It's true isn't it. This is the house I told you about.

You were thirteen. You climbed over the wall for a dare.

Ace

That's your surprise isn't it? Bringing me back here.

Remind me what it was that you sensed when you entered this deserted house. An aura of intense evil?

Ace

Don't you have things you hate?

I can't stand burnt toast. I loathe bus stations. Terrible places. Full of lost luggage and lost souls.

Ace

I told you I never wanted to come back here again.

And then there's unrequited love. And tyranny. And cruelty.

Ace

Too right!

We all have a universe of our own terrors to face.

Ace

I face mine on my own terms.

Only the madman can see the way clearly through the tangled forest.

But you evolve too, Light.

Nonsense!

Of course you do. You change, you adapt, all the time. Your attitude, your place, your mind... I mean, look at you now: you're no longer your original shape. And I don't think much of your catalogue- it's full of gaps.

(suddenly alarmed) All organic life is recorded!

What about the gryphons, the basilisks? You missed the dragons, the bandersnatches... then there are the slithy toves and the crowned Saxe-Coburg. (Strolling into the entrance hall, he casually clicks his fingers and Light immediately appears at the staircase)

(frantically reviewing his data screen) Where are these items?

I can't think how you missed them. You have to complete the catalogue before you destroy all life here.

Control?

She's no use to you, she's evolved as well.

No! All slipping away...

All is change, all is movement. Tell me, Light, haven't you just changed your location?

(Gritting his teeth) Not yet.

What's the matter, Light? Changed your mind?

You are endlessly agitating, unceasingly mischievous, will you never STOP?!

I suppose I could. It would make a change.

(desperate) Nimrod- I can rely on you! Assist me now...

I'm sorry, sir, but my allegiance is to this planet- my birthright.

(Hysterical) Everything is changing! All in flux! Nothing remains the same!

Even remains change. It's this planet- it can't help itself.

I... will not change... I'll wake up soon. No... change... dead... (trails off as he begins to evaporate)
