Doctor Who quotes

I've got this friend called Donna Noble. And she was my best friend in the whole wide universe. I absolutely love her. Oh! Mm, do I say things like that now?

Sounds like a good thing to say.

But Donna took the mind of a Time Lord into her head. I had to wipe her memory to save her life. If she ever remembers me, she will die. So what happens next? I get this face back and the TARDIS lands right next to her. I turn around and there's her husband, and then a spaceship crashes right in front of her, it's like she's drawing us in.

What, she's making it happen?

No, she's got no idea. She's so ordinary, she's brilliant! She's got this beautiful daughter, she's happy... Is she? But now the universe is turning around her again. I don't believe in destiny, but if destiny exists, then it is heading for Donna Noble right now.

There is one person missing -- I used to know your granddad, Wilf.

He's not with us anymore.

Right. 'Course. He wasn't young, he was... I loved that man. I'm so sorry for your loss.

He's not dead.

You idiot!

I think... All that coincidence was heading here, to save London from burning. 'Cause you and I can stop this ship, together. But it will kill you.

Okay.

You'll die!

My daughter is down there! And it's not just Rose -- it's nine million people! Who cares about me?

I do!

Why?! I'm just no one!

No you are not! Why does it have to be this?!

You've been given a second chance. You can do things different this time! So why don't you do something completely new... and have some friends?

Yeah. Maybe, yeah.

Funny, 'cos I wonder where the TARDIS goes, at random. Maybe it lands on some outcrop by the sea. There's a tribe and they worship it for a hundred years. Then they grow up and try to burn it. Then they get wise. They preserve it. Then, they build a city all around it 'til the TARDIS is just a tiny little dot surrounded by skyscrapers and monorails. Time passes and the city falls... All gets swept away... and there's the TARDIS, still at that outcrop by the sea. She's the only thing I've got left.

We came from the nothing.

We are not things.

But you... you're not nothing.

Oh, I think you'll find we're quite something!

Back on Earth, when I was the DoctorDonna, I saw your mind. I've had fifteen years without you, and I saw everything that's happened to you since, and oh my God, it hurt!

...You're saying this to break me down.

But we haven't stopped to talk, we haven't had a chance! It's always like that with you -- running from one thing to the next. I saw it! In your head... The Flux.

It destroyed half the universe, because of me. We stand here now, on the edge of creation, a creation which I devastated, so yes I keep running! Of course I do! How am I supposed to look back on that?!

It wasn't your fault!

I know!

...I'm sorry.

Donna, is that you?

Yeah.

All those years, I missed you.

I couldn't keep it together! You are so amazing! We stare at that universe, so far away. But you have owned it! You are such a prize! What are ya?!

We drifted here, in the lack of light. Passing no time. But we would feel it, from so far away. Your noisy, boiling universe. We want to travel there. To play your vicious games, and win.

But if you existed here, no shape, no form, no purpose, then what's made you so bad?

The things we've felt have shaped us, carrying across the dark. We could hear your lives of war, and blood and fury and hate... They made us like this.

We are more than that!

Love letters don't travel very far. And neither do your lies.

Oh, I keep thinking "I wish I hadn't done that thing with the salt."

What, the bad luck thing? That was just a lie!

Normally, except... I invoked a superstition at the edge of the universe, where the walls are thin and all things are possible. Just got this feeling.

What?

The feeling of something... which is gone. Fine, good! Onwards!

You know another great story about someone who went to space and started to help people? So, there's this big blue box and it lands in a junkyard... Hm. No, actually, that's quite a long story. And for once, I don't think we have the time!

Do you wanna come with me? 'Cos if you do, then I should warn you — you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: the trip of a lifetime!

Run!

Who are you, then? Who's that lot down there? [The Doctor ignores her] I said, who are they?!

They're made of plastic. Living plastic creatures. They're being controlled by a relay device on the roof. Which would be a great big problem if--[he pulls a beeping bomb out of his coat] --I didn't have this. So I'm gonna go upstairs and blow it up. And I might well die in the process. But don't worry about me, no. You go home, go on! Go and have your lovely beans on toast. [suddenly serious] Don't tell anyone about this, 'cos if you do, you'll get them killed. [closes the door, then opens it again] I'm the Doctor, by the way. What's your name?

Rose.

Nice to meet you, Rose! [holds up the bomb, shaking it slightly while grinning.] Run for your life!

[looking in a magazine] That won't last. He's gay and she's an alien.

Who are you?

[turns around] Do you know like we were saying? About the Earth revolving? [walks towards Rose] It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it 'cos everything looks like it's standing still. [looks at Rose] I can feel it. [takes Rose's hand] The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at 1,000 miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go... [drops Rose's hand] That's who I am.
