Doctor Who Season 26 quotes

Ace

Can we stop it?

We need to get that flask.

Ace

We can release Captain Sorin to help us! I can distract the guard!

[missing her point] How?

Ace

Professor... I'm not a little girl.

Ace

There's a wind ripping up. I can feel it through my clothes. Is there a storm coming?

I wasn't expecting one.

Ace

The question is, is he making all the right moves, or only going through the motions?

What are you doing here?

Ace

You have to move faster than that if you want to keep up with me. Faster than light.

Faster than the second hand on a watch?

Ace

We're hardly moving yet. Hardly cruising speed. Sometimes I travel so fast I don't exist any more.

What can you see?

Ace

Undercurrents, bringing things to the surface. [Beat] I can't stay!

You promised!

Ace

I can't!

Where is the Time Lord?

"Time Lord?"

The one you call "The Doctor."

I had him shot.

I can see you've never been handicapped by great intelligence.

Kneel if you want the girl to live!

Kill her.

The Time Lord finally understands.

Do you think I didn't know? The chess set in Lady Peinforte's study? I knew.

Earlier than that. Before Cybermen, ever since Ice World, where you first met the girl.

I knew. I knew she carried the evil inside her. Do you think I'd have chosen a social misfit if I hadn't known? She couldn't even pass her chemistry exams at School, and yet she manages to create a time storm in her bedroom. I saw your hand in it from the very beginning.

Ace

[Horrified] Doctor, no.

She's an emotional cripple. I wouldn't waste my time on her, unless I had to use her somehow.

Ace

[Falls to her knees in despair] NO!

Love and hate, frightening feelings, especially when they're trapped struggling beneath the surface.

He doesn't have to outrun the lion, only his friend. Then the lion catches up with his friend and eats him. The strong survive, the weak are killed: the law of the jungle! ... Yes, very clever, if you don't mind losing your friend. But what happens when the next lion turns up? I think you'd better get your running shoes on, gentlemen.

We'll be safe over there. Safe from the Cheetahs, and the Master.

Ace

"Master?" Who's he?

An evil genius. One of my oldest and deadliest of enemies.

Ace

Do you know any nice people? Y'know, normal everyday people, not power-crazed nutters trying to take over the galaxy?

If we fight like animals, we die like animals!

Ace

Where have they gone?

They've been taken back to the wilderness. The place is different, but the hunt goes on ...you know all about the hunt, don't you Ace?

Ace

I felt like I could run forever, like I could smell the wind and feel the grass under my feet, and just run forever.

The planet's gone, but it lives on inside you, and it always will.

Ace

[Smiles] Good.
