Sarah Jane Smith quotes from The Sarah Jane Adventures

Mr. Smith

Sarah Jane. You came to say goodbye.

Sarah Jane

Why are you doing this?!

Mr. Smith

The collision of the moon and Earth will release the Xylok from beneath the planet's crust, where it has been buried for 60 million years.

Sarah Jane

You're going to kill thousands of people!

Mr. Smith

The Xylok are a crystalline lifeform. We crashed here as what you would call a meteorite, but beneath the Earth, our crystals have regrown and become strong again, but nevertheless remain trapped.

Sarah Jane

You're still part of the original crystal, you're still in contact with it!

Mr. Smith

The release of the Xylok is my purpose. You gave me the chance to fulfil it, the chance to plan.

Sarah Jane

All this time... you used me! Mr Smith, you're evil!

Mr. Smith

No - effective. We will do so much more than the human race. The universe is served much better by our survival.

Sarah Jane

Any race thinking it's better than another, that's evil, Mr Smith!

Mr. Smith

I am NOT evil.

Sarah Jane

So what have you done with Clyde?

Mr. Smith

[teleports Clyde back to Earth] Am I not merciful?

Clyde

What a dream...

Mr. Smith

[points lasergun at them] You made all this possible, Sarah Jane. I owe you the mercy of a quick death.

Sarah Jane

But what about all the other people, don't they deserve mercy? You've been here millions of years, you've seen us evolve! Don't we matter to you?

Mr. Smith

Only my purpose matters.

Sarah Jane

Maybe you could change your purpose?

Mr. Smith

No, I told you, Sarah Jane, we all have a purpose. Yours is to die, so that the Xylok will live. After all, what life do you have, alone in your attic?

Sarah Jane

Alone?! You think I'm alone?! You think I'm defenceless?! Well, meet my dog! K-9! Protect me!

Affirmative, mistress! Activating defence mode!

Sarah Jane

What about my two friends? They escaped.

Commander Kaagh

Pah, half forms. What trouble can they cause?

Clyde

You should ask my teacher!

Commander Kaagh

You have encountered my kind and survived! You are indeed an extraordinary female.

Sarah Jane

Flattery won't get you anywhere.

Sarah Jane

Maria, I really am sorry for how I reacted when you told me about America.

Maria

It doesn't matter. We were sort of busy.

Sarah Jane

You see, well, for the first time I felt as though I'd found a family – and so soon, so suddenly, it felt like I was losing it. Losing the daughter I always wanted.

Chrissie

I remember it all, you know.

Sarah Jane

Sorry?

Chrissie

The Sontaran, what really happened with my shoe. Don't worry, I won't say anything. They deserve a new start. We all do.

Sarah Jane

Thank you.

The fear of a mother for her young, the strongest fear of all.

Sarah Jane

You better believe it!

Rani

I thought you were a journalist?

Sarah Jane

I am.

Rani

With alien gizmos in her attic? Who doesn't bat an eyelid at a shape-changing alien clown pied piper thing?

Sarah Jane

That's more of a hobby.

Sarah Jane

When it comes to getting a true glimpse of the universe there are two types of people: those who refuse to believe, that would tell themselves anything to deny the evidence of their eyes, and those that embrace the universe and just how special life is. I want it to stay that way by keeping it safe and secret.

Rani

And that's me?

Sarah Jane

That's all of us.

Martin

Some years ago, you travelled far and wide. And oh, the things you have seen! There was a man, a very special man. No, no, let me think. It wasn't a romance, no, it was something much, much more than that. He taught you so much. There was laughter and adventure, and you prayed that your time with him would never, ever end. But then suddenly he left you. The man was lonely. A scientist? No, a doctor. The Doctor. Am I right? [Sarah Jane has a flashback of her meeting The Doctor in 'School Reunion' and her saying goodbye to him in 'Journey's End]

Sarah Jane

Yes you are, but tell me right now, how do you know that?

Martin

It's all in your stars! And there's Jupiter in your 12 house. You are the keeper of secrets!

Sarah Jane

If you're so clever, tell me about the future.

Martin

If you want, but oh, I'm afraid Saturn is transecting Taurus. You have fought many battles in your life, you're about to fight another, but this time it will be different. This time Sarah Jane, you lose.

Luke

Last night, everyone was talking about their star signs, and I don't have one.

Sarah Jane

I could give you a birthday if you want. The day I found you. That's what I put on the adoption forms.

Luke

I wasn't born though, Mum. I was activated. 'Happy Activation Day!'. It doesn't sound right, does it? It's another strange thing. Something else that sets me apart.

Sarah Jane

Whatever particular day it is, that doesn't matter. You're not celebrating the day, you're celebrating the person.

Luke

But where you come from, childhood, it makes people who they are. I come from nowhere. I was never a baby.

Sarah Jane

Oh Luke...

Luke

I thought it would get easier, but there are always new things coming along, like this, to make me feel different.

Sarah Jane

Just remember - you're strong. I've seen you learn. You're my son and you're brilliant.

Luke

That's me.

Sarah Jane

Of course! He must be using a bio-damper!

Clyde

What's that, a washing powder?

Rani

Have you made an appointment?

Sarah Jane

Oh no, this is going to be an old-fashioned foot-in-the-door job.

Rani

Need another pair of feet?

Clyde

What was it? What's so special about me?

Sarah Jane

Oh, so many things.

Martin

How have you done this?

Luke

I wasn't born. I have no birthday.

Clyde

No star sign.

Luke

So astrology doesn't work on me. The circle was like an electrical circuit. I broke it.

Rani

Like you did before, you touched Clyde. It shorted the power!

Martin

What are you?

Sarah Jane

He's my son, and he's the centre of my universe.

Sarah Jane

Do you still miss not having a birthday?

Luke

No thanks. Why should I want to be like everyone else? Today, me being different was a good thing!

Sarah Jane

Today you being different saved the world!

Luke

Why don't we celebrate this day then?

Sarah Jane

That's a great idea!

Luke

Every year this could be my special day!

Sarah Jane

Deal.

Luke

Can I have presents?

Sarah Jane

Oh whatever you want! Plus cards, cakes, lots and lots of attention, a party - oh, how about a party!
