Sarah Jane Smith quotes from The Sarah Jane Adventures

Sarah Jane

I can't even have one night out without something weird happening.

Sarah Jane

If it is a trap, this is the only way to find out who's behind it. That sounds like a good, rational reason I can give myself, anyway.

Sarah Jane

I'll never know why they left me that day, but I do know that they loved me.

Sarah Jane

There's only one person in the universe who would know, straight away! One person who could help us! And where is he whenever you need him?

Sarah Jane

Robots, too small to see with the naked eye, but with the potential of giants.

Sarah Jane

[narrating] For once, I truly hoped we'd found a friend out there. Someone Earth could trust. A way for us all to move forward, humans and aliens together. I was wrong, this time. But it doesn't mean our next visitors will be the same. There are friends out there too. Friends who really will want to help us. And as we all know, there's nothing more important than friendship. And then, one day, with a little luck and a lot of hard work, Earth could be a shining example to the entire universe.

Sarah Jane

There’s a woman called Tegan in Australia, fighting for Aboriginal rights. There’s Ben and Polly, in India, running an orphanage there. There was Harry. Oh, I loved Harry. He was a doctor, he did such good work with vaccines. He saved thousands of lives. There was a Dorothy something. She runs that company, A Charitable Earth. She’s ...raised billions. And this couple in Cambridge. Both professors. Ian and Barbara Chesterton. Rumour has it, they’ve never aged. Not since the sixties. I wonder… echoes of the Doctor, all over the world. With friends like us, he’s never going to die, is he?

Sarah Jane

[gasps] What the- [searches around her house for someone before taking the baby inside. To the infant,] Why would anyone leave you on a stranger's doorstep?

Mrs. Wormwood

Can we move on to business?

Sarah Jane

I've got contacts in the city that say this company dropped in from nowhere, and normally it takes years of tests to get approved by the EU to manufacture a new foodstuff, but you got it in two weeks.

Mrs. Wormwood

All we are doing is satisfying a need.

Sarah Jane

Which is?

Mrs. Wormwood

The people are hungry, Miss Smith. For new food. For new drinks. New tastes. All the western world does, is eat. All day, every day, eating. They gorge and feast and chew and bite. Everything sweet and hot and cold and sticky... food and drink. Just food and drink. That's the human race... they devour! Who are we to deny them?

Sarah Jane

[Columbo-esque] Oh, and by the way, what planet do you come from?

Mrs. Wormwood

Nice try.

Sarah Jane

I met this man, a very special man, called the Doctor. And years ago, we traveled together.

Maria

In space?

Sarah Jane

Space and time. Then it came to an end. Suddenly, I was back to a normal life. Electric bills, burst pipes, bus tickets... and rain.

She's gone completely loop-the-loop!

Sarah Jane

There, y'see? Who could I talk to about it? For years I tried to forget! And then I met him again, the Doctor... but we had both changed, but it was funny because we were still both, the same. I learned that I could carry on here on Earth, doing what we always did.

Sarah Jane

Maria, there are two types of people in the world. Those who panic, and then there's us. Got it?

Maria

Got it.

Sarah Jane Smith

Slitheen in Downing Street.

Luke Smith

What?

Sarah Jane Smith

[gently taking Luke by the arm] Something a friend said once.

Sarah Jane

Everyone gets old, Clyde, even you.

Clyde

Ha, no, not me! Way technology’s movin’, by the time I’m forty, I can get my brain put in a robot and live forever!

Sarah Jane

[showing Bea an old photo with Bea and her husband] Can you tell me where you got this talisman?

Bea Nelson-Stanley

Oh, that’s my Edgar.

Maria

Your husband?

Bea Nelson-Stanley

Mm, yes! He used to say the Sontarans were the silliest-looking race in the galaxy. [chuckles]

Sarah Jane

[shocked] What did you say?

She’s always going on about monsters and space-men.

Sarah Jane

She’s seen Sontarans.

Maria

What’s a Sontaran?

Bea Nelson-Stanley

The silliest race in the galaxy, that’s what Edgar used to say. Like a huge… potato, with… [mimes a gun with her cane] rrrgh, a ray gun.

Bea Nelson-Stanley

Quite nasty blighters they were, all the same.

Sarah Jane

Oh yes, Bea, they are, you’re right! You’re absolutely right.
