Doctor Who quotes

Ah-ha. It's the same object twice.

Do you mean it's literally the same diploma, like in a time-travel way?

Timey-wimey.

Timey-wimey?

Yup.

Am I six?

It is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

Yeah, I know. Now get me home. 24th of May, 2025. My shift starts at 7.30am, thank you very much.

Yeah, but we don't need to rush, cos... Time Lord, time machine.

This is a time machine?

Boom! Because there is something already connecting us, Belinda, way beyond Robots. I have been to the future, and I have met your descendant on a planet far away, in the 51st century. Her name was Mundy Flynn.

Did she look like me?

Absolute match.

The 51st century? You're saying... 3,000 years' time? Is that supposed to be a coincidence?

Well, that is what I am worried about. [He scans her and uploads the results.]

Cos the genetic link is amazing. Is that just chance, or something more? Cos I can't help thinking, Bel, that maybe we are meant to be connected.

Like this is destiny? Is that what you say to all the girls? Is that what you said to Sasha? She trusted you, and she died. And you tested my DNA without even asking my permission. God. You're dangerous.

I'm sorry. Inexcusable. With both hearts, I apologise.

I am not one of your adventures. Now I'm asking you, Doctor, to do the right thing.

I will take you home.

Thank you.

Oh! Something is stopping us! Something is bouncing us off Planet Earth on the day that we left. But why?

Doctor, I told you. Get me home!

I am.

You are not!

Oh, this might be the long way round, Miss Belinda Chandra, but hold on tight. Because this is going to be quite a ride.

Like this is destiny? Is that what you say to all the girls? Is that what you said to Sasha? Sorry. But she trusted you, and she died. And now all I can see here is a great big temple of a… spaceship? And it's empty, Doctor. It's empty, you could not have a more empty space! So maybe you invite people in and say it's destiny and smile that smile… Which is a hell of a smile, okay? And it works. Well, it almost works. You are so clever, and so stupid. And you tested my DNA without even asking my permission.

Oh.

God. You're dangerous.

I'm sorry. Inexcusable. With both hearts, I apologise.

Doctor, the only power I have in this room is to ask you if my life is in danger. With you, yes? I won't live like that. I will not.

No, don't give me sunshine! Because I'm more interested... in moonlight. That icy cold beam of heaven touching my soul and bringing me... life! [He addresses the audience] Whaddaya think? ... I asked you. [The audience looks confused] Yes, you, sitting there drooling with your buckets of popped corn and caramel water... I asked you, what do ya think?

This one's kinda silly, isn't it?

[irate] What did you say? ...I'm looking at you, with the glasses. What did you say?

Who, me?

[annoyed] Don't make me laugh... Yes, you.

How are they doing this?

If you won't tell me then I'll have to find out for myself! Get ready! [He crawls through the screen] Cause here... I... COME! [In the projection room, Reginald frantically tries to stop the film] We're goin' 3D! And remember... don't make me laugh.

I have toppled worlds. Sometimes, I wait for people to topple their world. Until then, I live in it and I shine.

We don't exist.

But... you do!

No. We're the sort of characters who don't have surnames. We're just part of the trap so that... creature can play with your minds.

But we're cleverer than him! We learnt from the Doctor so we worked it out. We can set you free.

It's time for you to go back and fight him, and beat him for us.

I am sure that there is something we can--

No, no, off you go! Come on, cos you'd better be quick! Up. Come on. You're thirty minutes in. Time for the third act.

Thanks. Keep watching!

You don't get it, do you?

What? What don't I get?

They are not real. Once we move on, Lizzie, Hassan and Robyn will all blink out of existence.

You mean... You'll die?

It's not death. We just... end.

But... that is death.

Yeah. But we're not important. It doesn't matter what happens to us.

And it's been so worth it, just to meet you.

We had so much fun. And, thanks to you, I met my two best friends.

We'll be gone any second. Oh, my goodness. But maybe... just now and then you can think of us. Then we might live on just a little bit. Now, go and save the world, Doctor.

I wish that there was something that we could--

We love you so much.

Sunlight! I am light! The light of creation... [He flies into space. He stares ahead as his eyes glow yellow and fill with tears] I am everything... and I am nothing. [He fades away completely] Goodbye.

But... he was made of light.

We're sixty percent water and we can still drown. That's why Lux stayed inside. And we gave him all the light in the universe. And that's what he became - light without end.

So he's actually a god now. Infinite. Invisible. Intangible...

Amen.

What is this planet called?

6-7-6-7.

The old name. 400,000 years ago, what was the planet called?

It was called Midnight.

[in shock] I've been here before.

I think I'm in shock. Like... PTSD? Because what happened last year was just not... normal. I mean, I fought gods. Like, actual gods. And I was eaten by a double bass, and kidnapped by goblins. I dangled on a rope ladder above London. And I watched the world turn to dust. And it's just like... every day is, like, fight or flight, and I'm just waiting for something to go wrong.

Conrad, what are they talking about? What the hell is going on?!

We are Think Tank. Exposing the lies perpetrated by UNIT! By you. [to UNIT guards] And we're live streaming, so don't get trigger-happy.

This isn't funny.

[chuckles] I've had to listen to your stories for weeks now. Put up with your insecurity and vanity, listen to your tedious piano solos and get smothered in lip gloss! It has been a chore getting to know you! [shrugs] But now it's all worth it.

Put that phone down.

Or what? Gonna arrest me, huh? This is censorship! Touch us and we'll sue. We will bankrupt you.

[mockingly scaring Ruby] Boo!

You've made a very big, very dangerous mistake tonight, Conrad.

You don't even remember me, do you? [to the phones] The only monsters out here are UNIT! Lying to the public! Spending our money! Hiding in your tower, and doing what, huh? Doing what?

Protecting people like you.

Oh, they can't stop lying! There are no Shreek! No Cybermen, no Sycorax, no Yetis in the Underground! Here, look! Look! [holds up a Shreek mask] They're stooges and actors, and special effects paid for using taxpayers' money, to keep us scared, to hide their real agenda!

The threat to this planet is real!

If you want evidence, I've got plenty of it, so you can--

This one's collecting benefits, stealing our taxes while she lies to us. But the lies stop today. There are people all over the world watching this. Sharing, reposting, demanding the truth! They're using you! All of you! For her dirty work.

Do you think UNIT can't handle a few reject cosplayers? Because that's all you are, Conrad.

[with cruel smugness] You've gifted me this moment, Ruby Sunday. Is that even your name, by the way? Cos it's ridiculous!

I want a confession. On camera. Admit to the lies. Show us the monster costumes. Show us the tech that you're hiding, that we paid for.

You're deluded--

[in mocking sing-song] The grown-ups are talking! [to Kate] Come on, Commander-in-chief. Admit! Or are you a coward, like your father was?

[seething with anger] You should be very careful what you say about my father.

His only legacy was a pack of lies.

He was a hundred times the man you are. And that gun is UNIT issue, so where's Jordan Lang?

[clearly feigning ignorance] Who?

He's been shot. Ground team are rushing him to the infirmary.

You shot someone to get in here?

It's nothing to do with me.

[appalled] A man's life is hanging in the balance, and you're not even sorry.

Maybe you shot him! Or he was an actor. Or he never existed.

The Shreek is back in its hive. No need to thank me. [chuckles] You have to be invited into my TARDIS, Conrad. To be special. But you? You're special... for all the wrong reasons. You see, I am fighting a battle on behalf of everyday people who just wanna get through their day and feel safe, and warm, and fed. And then along comes this... noise. All day long, this relentless noise! Cowards like you, weaponizing lies, taking people's insecurity and fear and making it currency. You are exhausting. You stamp on the truth, choke our bandwidth and shred our patience, because the only strategy you have is to wear us down. But the thing is, Conrad, I have energy to burn and all the time in the universe.

[laughs bitterly] What is this? An intervention? Are you here to save my soul?

You betrayed my friend.

You've had plenty of "friends". Have you met Belinda Chandra yet?

Who? You want spoilers? I'll tell you your future. You die in a prison cell, boiling in anger and poison, until your heart packs in at age 49. Alone and unloved, forgotten. The world carries on, the world gets better. You aren't even a footnote. Just ashes on the wind.

I don't accept your reality, Doctor. I reject it. So put me back in my prison. And get off my world.

I am an evolved life-form. And, uh... my body changes a lot. It's the first time I've had this black body. In some parts of the Earth, I'm now treated differently. But here, in Africa, in that barbershop, I'm accepted. I'm able to forget. Boy, we... we laugh. We tell stories. They...

Treat you like one of their own? You say you're not human, but that's the most human thing ever, Doctor. Go on, then. Take as long as you need.
