Doctor Who Season 24 quotes

Why, Chiefy, I thought you were... [sees a cleaner behind the Chief, who is possessed by Kroagnon]

The Towers have become appallingly dirty.

Sorry?

The whole place is polluted with flesh. Living flesh.

Flesh? Did you say living flesh?

Yes.

But, Chief, you...

Deputy, may I remind you that there is a rulebook and the rulebook says that the orders of the Chief Caretaker are never to be questioned.

[nervous] Yes, yes, yes, of course. Of course, Chief. Unless...

Unless?

Well, I think you may recall that there are certain cases specified when the rulebook can be overridden, and that is when the Chief Caretaker...

Yes?

...just isn't the Chief Caretaker. [runs past the cleaner]

Leave him, leave him. We'll clean him up when we clean up all the others.

Love has never been noted for its rationality.

A stitch in time... takes up space.

All haste and no speed makes Jill a dull girl.

Ace

Do you feel like arguing with a can of deodorant that registers nine on the Richter scale?

Would the emergency services please report to the docking bay to deal with an icing up. Thank you.

It's all your fault.

Ace

How'd you work that out?

You were encouraging them. "Oh, ace! Oh, brill!"

You girl. [Ace looks behind her] Yes, you, girl. Come here.

Ace

What do you want?

This milkshake isn't adequately shaken.

Ace

That's how they come, missus.

It's got lumps in it.

It's supposed to have lumps in it. That's the ice cream.

But we don't want lumps. Shake it some more.

Ace

Shake it yourself.

[offended] I beg your pardon?

Ace

You heard.

I've never been so insulted...

Ace

Bet you've never had a milkshake tipped over your head, neither.

I'm awfully sorry, Madam. [turns to Ace] That does it, you're fired!

Ace

I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

Get out! I've had enough of you!

Ace

I promise, it will never happen again!

Get out! You two, out!

Me?

Both of you, out!

All right, I'm going!

You're troublemakers! Hooligans! [turns back to the woman] I do apologise for my staff. I do assure you, those milk shakes don't stain.

Not interrupting anything, am I?

[points her gun at him] What are you doing here?!

That's a very difficult question. Why is everyone around here so preoccupied with metaphysics?

I think she's going to kill us, Doctor.

Ah! An existentialist.

But we can't give him the treasure!

We've no choice! The creature's already dead... Ace is still alive.

But where will you find another home planet?

You're talking in riddles, Doctor. Proamnon is my home planet

Was your home planet. Take a look at your navigational equipment. It's fully operative now.

There must be something wrong.

Certainly not. Your entire people, your race was destroyed 1000 years after you were exiled.

No, no! It's not possible.

Look at the sun of Proamnon. When you left it was a cold red giant surrounded by freezing planets.

There's nothing there but a neutron star!

Your sun turned supernova 2000 years ago. The planets were engulfed in the explosion. Your people were annihilated, your planet obliterated. You're too late, Kane, for your revenge. You have no home. Time has flowed by.

Oh all right, you win.

I do? I usually do.

I'm going now.

Yes, that's right, you're going. You've been gone for ages. You're already gone. You're still here. You've just arrived. I haven't even met you yet. It all depends on who you are and how you look at it. Strange business, time.

Think about me when you're living your life one day after another, all in a neat pattern. Think about the homeless traveller and his old police box, with his days like crazy paving.

[in a whisper] Ace doesn't have anywhere to go.

Nonsense, it's an idyllic place, Perivale! It's got lush green fields — a village blacksmith, um —

Doctor, she comes from the twentieth century!

[thinking of 20th century Perivale] Oh...

I'll send you a postcard!

But I don't have an address.

Oh, I'll put it in a bottle and throw it into space! It'll reach you... in time.

Ace! Where d'you think you're going?

Ace

[miserable] Perivale...

Ah yes, but by which route? The direct route with Glitz? Or the scenic route? [Ace begins to smile] Well, do you fancy a quick trip around the twelve galaxies and then back to Perivale in time for tea?

Ace

[jumps for joy] ACE!

[suddenly stern, he holds up three fingers] But there are three rules! One: I'm in charge.

Ace

Whatever you say, Professor!

[holding up two fingers] Two: I'm not 'the Professor', I'm the Doctor!

Ace

Whatever you want!

And the third... [he suddenly smiles] Well, I'll think up the third by the time we get back to Perivale. [they smile at each other]
