Doctor Who Season 16 quotes

What's the matter?

Look! Radiation levels you wouldn't believe!

Good heavens! You could fry eggs in the street.

But that means...

What?

There must be a huge nuclear war going on down there!

None at all, no.

Well what else could it be?

I don't know. Probably someone throwing a huge breakfast party. Think po- Why do you always assume the worst?

Because it usually happens.

Empirical poppycock! Where's your joy in life? Where's your optimism?

It opted out.

Optimism: Belief that everything will work out well. Irrational, bordering on insane.

Oh, do shut up, K9. Listen, Romana, Whenever you go into a new situation, you must always believe the best until you find out exactly what the situation's all about. Then, believe the worst.

Ah, but what happens if it turns out not to be the worst after all?

Don't be ridiculous. It always is.

Now that you are here, you are the one!

I am. Am I?

The one who will lead us to victory!

Oh! Good-o! As long as there's no personal risk involved, of course.

To halt the hated Zeons in their tracks, wipe their presence from our skies, and free this land, this world, this Atrios...

(Interrupts) This Blessed Plot!

Good! Good! ...this blessed plot from the terrors of war and the evils of pestilence!

Yes! ... No, I prefer the original.

The Shadow

I know you. And I know there is a want of patience in your nature.

Yes, fools rush in...

The Shadow

[Interrupts.] Exactly.

The war is over. The bombardment is over. The next step is obliteration.

For whom?

Everything.

What have you done?

I don't know. K9, what have I done?

You have triggered primary alert function.

Blast!

Affirmative.

I think Merak needs some medical attention.

Yes. Look, Astra, why don't you and Merak go back to Atrios via the transmat? He'll show you the way.

I'd feel safer with you.

Well, I dare say, but we've got a few complicated things to do and Merak does need attention. I think the thing you should do is go back and show your people that you're free.

He's right, Astra.

Of course I'm right! Off you go, now. Hope to see you soon.

There is only one ship left, Sir. Your escape- [Beat] Your command module, sir.

I'd stay and watch you die, but I haven't the time.

Well, here we are. We've tracked him to his lair.

Yes, we've got him exactly where he wants us.

Blimey, it's a dog. Who's a little tin dog then?

Your silliness is noted.

Key to Time... I command... that you stay exactly where you are!

Doctor! You have fully activated all the TARDIS's defences.

We can't be too careful, can we? And it would be a terrible tragedy for the universe if it suddenly turned out that I was colour blind...

Doctor, release the key to me immediately!

...unable to distinguish between the White Guardian and the Black Guardian.

Doctor, what do you mean?

LOOK!

Don't you see? The White Guardian would never have had such a callous disregard for human life.

Of course! Astra, the sixth segment; he would have dispersed it immediately.

The Black Guardian

Doctor, you shall die for this!

I think not! Remember, the Key to Time is still mine. Rage all you like!

The Black Guardian

I shall destroy you for this! I will disperse every particle of your being to the furthest reaches of eternity!

Oh, well, I wish I could stay and watch you try, but you know how it is. Places to go, people to see, things to do.

So where are we going?

Going? I don't know.

You have absolutely no sense of responsibility whatsoever!

What?

You're capricious, arrogant, self-opinionated, irrational, and you don't even know where we're going!

Exactly!
