Doctor Who quotes

I'm a much bigger bang than you bargained for. I'm a lot more explosive than I look, and, honey, I know how I look. Put a quantum chain reaction through me, and I will shatter this silly little battlefield of yours into dust. All of it, in a heartbeat, into dust.

That's not possible.

Everything is possible! Everything is possible. Everywhere is a beach eventually. Scan me! Scan me, see for yourself!

You could blow up half of this planet!

I mean, most armies would notice that they were fighting smoke and shadows, but not this lot, Ruby! You know why? 'Cause they have faith.

Shut up!

"Faith"! The magic word that keeps you never having to think for yourself! Just surrender, Mundy. Just stop... and it's all over.

Prove it.

What, seriously? Now you need proof, faith girl?

We're all dead eventually. There's hardly any time that we're not dead. Which is a a good thing, too! We've got to keep the pace up, otherwise nothing would get done. Dying defines us. Snow isn't snow until it falls.

Snow?

Yeah, snow. We all melt away in the end. But something stays. Maybe the best part. A sad old man once told me, "What survives of us, is love."

Mind you, Roger ap Gwilliam. That's a bad example of the Welsh, terrifying.

Oh, yeah?

The most dangerous Prime Minister in history. He led the world to the brink of nuclear... Wait, what year are you from?

2024!

Oh. Yikes, sorry, he was 2046. Sorry, spoilers! Forget I said anything.

Mum, what does she look like?

She looks like what she looks like.

What does that mean?

She looks like what she is.

Amol, I'm a Welshman; I was born in Wales. And that's what the "ap" in my name means. It's not one of those apps you used to have on your phone in the old days. It means "son of". I am a son of Wales. And the Welsh don't always like to be oppressed. And that has taught me to say "no more". And that's what I am saying: "No more". I want Great Britain to say "No more", so yes! I have pledged to defend our borders and set us up on high as one of the greatest nations in the world.

But we're members of NATO.

When did NATO ever, y'know, fire a nuclear missile? Ever? 2031, the Great Russian War -- not a single rocket.

Excuse me, I'm sorry-- Are you saying that you actually want to fire a nuclear missile?

We'll cut that bit out, right?

I presume she must be gone, my mother. No one ever told me. And I didn't find my birth mother. It never snowed again. But I keep thinking I know why. The woman! And I've been thinking about it my whole life. Why is she here? And I think, at the end, I have hope. 'Cause that's very you, isn't it, my old friend? I dare to hope.

You don't know me, but my name is the Doctor, and your life is in danger, okay? There are creatures out there in the real world; there are monsters, and they are coming to get you.

We miss you so much, darling. But I'd pay for the whole moon to make you happy. Just look up at the sky and wave to us on the Homeworld. Happy Finetime, Lindy-Loo! And don't forget, you're only a Bubble away.

...who is that?

I told you, it's Mummy.

Hold on, I've seen her before.

Yeah, she's, like, she's the face of the ambulance on Kastarion III.

No, no, no, I've seen her somewhere else...

Now we can go out there to this planet, and we can fight it and tame it and own it. We'll be pioneers, just like our ancestors.

Or... you could come with us.

[turns towards him and Ruby] We could what?

Come with us!

Yeah, we helped you escape, didn't we? So we could get you out of here, in the blink of an eye.

I-- I have a ship, it's called the TARDIS. That blue box. It harnesses technology that makes it bigger on the inside than on the outside. I could take you all! I could carry you to the stars, I... could find you a home that is safe, and-- and clean, and everything you want.

[amused] But... It's-- We couldn't travel with you.

What? Wh-- Why not?

[to the Fifteenth Doctor] Because you, sir, are not one of us. I mean, sir, you were kind. But it was your duty to save me, obviously. I mean, screen-to-screen contact is just about acceptable, but in person? That's impossible.

Ay. You have a magic box? Seriously...

"Bigger on the inside"?

Excuse me, sir -- that's Voodoo. And it doesn't matter where we end up living, because it is our God-given duty to maintain the standards of Finetime, forever. Now thank you. And goodbye.

Ugh, I can't even...

I don't care what you think! Look, you can say whatever you want. You can think absolutely anything. I will do anything... if you just allow me to save your lives.

If you'll turn away, ladies? Before we're contaminated.

[desperately] BUT YOU WILL DIE OUT THERE! AND I CAN SAVE YOUR LIVES! NOW LET ME!

DAMN!

Brooding. Good look. Do you practice in a mirror? Bit more frown, maybe. Yeah? Like this. Yeah? Like this, really. Really, like this.

I didn't know the Dutchess employs a court jester.

Yeah, well I'm hilarious. And... you're kind of funny peculiar, standing here. Good vantage point. Keeping an eye out on the exits, like you're expecting trouble.

Are you?

Honey, I'm here for fun.

Then go and pursue your facile pleasures and leave me alone.

O-kay, rude! Lord...

Not a Lord.

Does "Not a Lord" have a name?

Rogue.

Nice to meet you. I'm the Doctor.

Just "the Doctor"?

Just "Rogue"?

Who did you lose?

What?

You lost someone.

How'd you know that?

Because I know.

There was... Yeah. We traveled together, we had fun. You know? And then a day came along, and at the end of that day... I lost them. What about you?

I lost everyone.

At the party, I saw you with that woman.

Mmm. My best friend.

Do you ever wonder, "Why keep going"?

Because we have to. We have to live each day, because they can't. You don't have to stay a bounty hunter, Rogue. You could travel with me! Oh, the worlds I could show you, Rogue...

And what if I like what I do? Would you travel with me?

That is quite an argument. Tell you what, when we both get out of this, let's argue across the stars...

I'd like that.

How long do they live for?

Chuldur?

Mm.

They have a lifespan of 600 years.

Good. Good. That's a long time to suffer.

There are as many dimensions as there are atoms in the universe. Don't even know his real name. Any...way! It is what it is, so onwards, fine, next. Off we go. Where shall we go? Anywhere!

Doctor, you don't have to be like this.

I have to be like this cos this is what I'm like. Onwards. Upwards. New horizons. Moving on. It's fine.

That's your story, darling. The legend of Ruby Sunday.
