Idris and The Doctor in “The Doctor's Wife”

Bond the tube directly into the Tachyon Diverter...

Yes, yes; I have actually rebuilt a TARDIS before, you know. I know what I'm doing!

You're like a nine-year-old trying to rebuild a motorbike in his bedroom. And you never read the instructions.

I always read the instructions!

There's a sign on my front door. You have been walking past it for seven hundred years. What does it say?

That's not instructions!

There's an instruction at the bottom. What does it say?

"Pull to open".

Yes, and what do you do?

I push!

Every single time, seven hundred years. Police box doors open out the way.

I think I have earned the right to open my front doors any way I want!

Your front doors? Do you have any idea how childish that sounds?

[growls] You are not my mother!

And you are not my child.

You know, since we're talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just wanna say, you know, you have never been very reliable!

And you have?!

You didn't always take me where I wanted to go!

No, but I always took you where you needed to go.
