Doctor Who quotes

I have things to do. Things involving other things.

Well, we'll stay with you. We'll do the other things.

Nope.

Whatever you're up to, I'd personally like to be a part of it.

I've got to get to that cockerel before all hell breaks loose! [pauses, grins excitedly] I never thought I'd have to say that again!

What are all these harnesses for?

Ah, the "Almost People"?

Are they prisoners, or meditating, or what?

At the moment they fall under the "or what" category.

Halt, and remain calm!

Well, we've halted. How are we all doing on the calm front?

This is insane. We're fighting ourselves.

Yes, it's insane. And it's about to get even more insanerer. Is that a word? Show yourself! Right now!

Doctor! We are trapped in here and Rory's out there with them. Hello! We can't get to the TARDIS and we can't even leave the island.

Correct in every respect, Pond. It's frightening. Unexpected. Frankly, a total utter splattering mess on the carpet. [a Ganger copy of the Doctor steps out of the shadows - identically clothed, but with the gelid, half-finished face of the recently-formed Flesh] But I am certain — one hundred percent certain — that we can work this out. Trust me. [straightens his bow tie] I'm the Doctor.

Ahhhhhh!

What's happening?

[imitating the First Doctor] One day we should come back, yes one day... Ahhh! Ahhh! [in the voice of the Third Doctor] Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

The Flesh is struggling to cope with our past regenerations. Hold on.

[in the voice of the Fourth Doctor] Would you like a jelly baby? Why? Why? Why?!

Why? Why what?

[in the voice of the Tenth Doctor] Hello, I'm the Doctor. [back to normal voice, but terrified] No! Let it go! We've, we've moved on!

Listen, hold on, hold on. You can stabilise.

I've reversed the jelly baby of the neutron flow. I'm the— would you like a— Doctor... Doctor... I'm... I'm the...

So what's the plan?

Save them all—humans and Gangers.

Tall order. Sounds wonderful.

Is that what you were thinking?

Yes. It's just so inspiring to hear me say it.

[having tricked Amy and others into believing he is the Ganger version] Interesting. You definitely feel more affection for him than me.

No, no— but you're fine and everything, but he's The Doctor— no offense: being almost the Doctor is pretty damn impressive.

Being "almost the Doctor" is like being no Doctor at all.

Don't overreact!

[angry] You might as well call me Smith!

I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams.

Why? It's all the eyes say: "Why?" I can feel them—as they work each day knowing the time was coming for them to be thrown away again— not again— please. And then they are destroyed, and they feel death and all they can say is "why?"

[pulling back the cowl of a monk] These guys never can be... persuaded. [pulling back another cowl] They never can be... afraid. [approaches a third monk] And they can never, ever be...

Surprised!!

Hello, everyone! Guess who? Please. Point a gun at me if it helps you relax.

You're only human.

Colonel Manton, you will give the order for your men to withdraw.

No. Colonel Manton, I want you to tell your men to run away.

You what?

Those words. "Run away." I want you to be famous for those exact words. [increasingly angry] I want people to call you "Colonel Run Away." I want children laughing outside your door because they've found the house of Colonel Run Away, and when people come to you and ask if trying to get to me through [shouting] THE PEOPLE I LOVE... [calmer] is in any way a good idea... I want you to tell them your name. [pause] Oh, look, I'm angry. That's new. I'm really not sure what's going to happen now.

The anger of a good man is not a problem. Good men... have too many rules.

Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many.

[to Melody Pond] It's okay, she's still all yours. And really you should call her "Mummy", not "Big Milk Thing".

Okay, what are you doing?

I speak Baby.

No, you don't.

I speak everything. Don't I, Melody Pond? [Melody gurgles, the Doctor straightens his bow tie] No, it's not. It's cool.

The only reason I joined the Clerics was so I could meet the Doctor again.

You wanted to meet him, so you joined an army to fight him?

Well, how else do you meet a great warrior?

He's not a warrior.

Then why is he called the Doctor?

[furious] Where the hell have you been? Every time you asked, I have been there! Where the hell were you today?!

I couldn't have prevented this.

And so, my love, could you. [looks toward Amy and Rory] I know you're not all right, but hold tight, Amy, because you're going to be.

You think I wanted this?! I didn't do this! This... this wasn't me!

This was exactly you. All this, all of it. You make them so afraid. When you began, all those years ago, sailing off to see the universe, did you ever think you'd become this? The man who can turn an army around at the mention of his name? "Doctor" - the word for "healer" and "wise man" throughout the universe. We get that word from you, you know. But if you carry on the way you are, what might that word come to mean? To the people of the Gamma Forests, the word "doctor" means "mighty warrior". How far you've come. And now they've taken a child. The child of your best friends. And they're going to turn her into a weapon, just to bring you down. And all this, my love... in fear of you.
