Steven Taylor: We're landing now Doctor.

Dr. Who: Good. That means the gravitational bearing must have rectified itself.

Dorothea 'Dodo' Chaplet: [enters from one of the other rooms] Hey, look at this!
[models her groovy new outfit, a sleeveless mini dress. The upper portion is light-colored with a dark, misshaped circle in the center. The bottom portion is dark-colored with light, misshaped circles all around. On her head she wears a cap with a visor. She looks like she just came from Carnaby Street. Meanwhile, the Doctor switches off the TARDIS]

Dorothea 'Dodo' Chaplet: Ain't it fab?

Steven Taylor: [walks over to her and examines her clothes with approval] Yes... hmm, very nice.
[the Doctor sneezes and as he does so he slowly fades away. Steven and Dodo don't notice right away because they are facing each other]

Steven Taylor: Bless you.

Dorothea 'Dodo' Chaplet: Oh Doctor, don't say you're catching a cold now.

Steven Taylor: [Now Steven and Dodo turn toward the Doctor and discover that he's disappeared] Doctor? Well, where are you?

Barbara Wright: Oh, don't you see? If I could start the destruction of everything that's evil here... then everything that is good would survive when Cortez lands.

The Doctor: But you can't rewrite history! Not one line!

The Doctor: Barbara, one last appeal: what you are trying to do is utterly impossible! I know, believe me, I know!

Polly Wright, The Doctor: [in unison] Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen...

Lesterson: [interrupts] What do you think you're doing in here?
[the Doctor looks towards the ceiling]

Movie: Doctor X
Charles Dickens: Can it be that I have the world entirely wrong?

The Doctor: Not wrong. There's just more to learn.

Charles Dickens: I've always railed against the fantasist. Oh, I loved an illusion as much as the next man, revelled in them. But that's exactly what they were. Illusions. The real world is something else. I dedicated myself to that, injustices, the great social causes. I hoped that I was a force for good. Now, you tell me that the real world is a realm of spectres and jack-o-lanterns. In which case, have I wasted my brief span here, Doctor? Has it all been for nothing?

Movie: Doctor X

Dalek Leader: This is not war - this is pest control!

Cyber Leader: We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?

Dalek Leader: Four.

Cyber Leader: You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?

The Doctor: It's 79 A.D. 23rd of August; which makes Volcano day-tomorrow.

Donna Noble: Plenty of time. We can get everyone out, easy.

The Doctor: Yeah, except we're not going to.

Donna Noble: But that's what you do. You're the Doctor. You save people.

The Doctor: Not this time. Pompeii is a fixed point in history. What happens, happens. There's no stopping it.

Donna Noble: Says who?

The Doctor: Says me.

Donna Noble: What, and you're in charge?

The Doctor: TARDIS, Time Lord-yeah!

Movie: Doctor X
Donna: But I still don't understand, I'm full of particles, but what for?

The Doctor: There was a Racknoss web at the center of the Earth, but my people unraveled their power source. Because Huon particles ceased to exist and the Racknoss were stuck, so they just stayed in hibernation for BILLIONS of years, frozen, dead, caput! So you're the new key, brand new particles, living particles, and they need you to open it. And you have never *been* so quiet!

Donna: [is gone]

Ironside Dalek: [to The Doctor] Would you care for some tea?

The Doctor: [smashes away tray and cup] Stop this! What are you doing here? What do you want?

Ironside Dalek: We seek only to help you.

The Doctor: To do what?

Ironside Dalek: To win the war.

The Doctor: Really? Which war?

Ironside Dalek: I do not understand.

The Doctor: This war, against the Nazis? Or your war? The war against the rest of the Universe? The war against all life-forms that are not Dalek?

Ironside Dalek: I do not understand. I am your soldier.

The Doctor: Oh, yeah? OK.

Ironside Dalek: [picks up a giant spanner] OK, soldier, defend yourself!

The Doctor: [strikes Dalek] Are!

The Doctor: [strikes Dalek] My!

The Doctor: [strikes Dalek] *Enemy*! And I am yours! You are everything I despise! The worst thing in all creation. I've defeated you. Time and time again, I've defeated you. I sent you back into the Void! I saved the whole of Reality from you! I am the Doctor! And you are the Daleks!
[the Doctor kicks the Dalek hard and it rolls backwards across the room. From there, the Dalek slowly rotates its eye stalk to point forward again at the Doctor]

Ironside Dalek: Correct.

Dr. Who: Jamie, it thinks we are. Give me the box.

Jamie: What now?

Dr. Who: Follow me slowly. Jamie, when I say "run", run. Run like the wind! Don't worry about me.

Jamie: Doctor...

Dr. Who: Now, Jamie, please. No heroics, Jamie.

Jamie: But surely, Doctor...

Dr. Who: Now Jamie! Run! Run! I know what I'm doing - I hope! It worked!

Movie: Doctor X
Lazarus: I find that nothing's ever exactly like you expect. There's always something to surprise you. Between the idea and the reality, between the motion and the act...

The Doctor: Falls the shadow.

Lazarus: So the mysterious Doctor knows his Eliot. I'm impressed

The Doctor: Wouldn't have thought you'd have time for poetry, Lazarus, what with you being so busy defying the laws of nature and everything.

Lazarus: You're right, Doctor. One lifetime's been too short for me to do everything I'd like. How much more I'll get done in two, or three, or four.

The Doctor: It doesn't work like that. Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.

Lazarus: But if it's the right person, what a gift that would be.

The Doctor: Or what a curse. Look at what you've done to yourself.

Lazarus: Who are you to judge me?

Movie: Doctor X
Lucius: Who are you?

Donna Noble: [overlapping the Doctor] We're not together.

Lucius: Oh, brother and sister? Yes, of course, you look very much alike.

The Doctor, Donna Noble: [looking at each other; surprised and a bit disgruntled] Really?

Movie: Doctor X
Martha: [lifting a Tank of water containing a hand out of Jack's bag and placing it on the tabetop] Oh, my, God! You've got a hand? A hand in a jar? A hand, in a jar, in your bag!

Doctor: Bu-tha-tha-that's *my* hand!

Jack: I said I had a Doctor Detector.

Chantho: Chan, is this a tradition amongst your people, tho?

Martha: Not on my street! What do you mean that's your hand? You've got both your hands! I can see them!

Doctor: Long story. I lost my hand, Christmas Day, in a sword fight.
[Flashback: The Sycorax Leader chops the Doctor's hand off]

Martha: What? And you... grew another hand?

Doctor: Um, yeah. I did, yeah.
[holds it up and waves it]

Doctor: Hello.

Professor Yana: [to the Doctor] Might I ask, what species are you?

Doctor: Time Lord. Last of. Heard of them? Legend or anything? Not even a myth? Blimey, the end of the Universe is a bit humbling.

Chantho: Chan, it is said that I am the last of my species too, tho.

Doctor: Sorry, what was your name?

Professor Yana: My assistant, and good friend Chantho. A survivor of the Malmooth, this was their planet Malcassairo, before we took refuge.

Doctor: The city outside, that was yours?

Chantho: Chan, the conglomeration died, tho.

Doctor: Conglomeration! That's what I said!

Jack: You're supposed to say, "sorry".

Prof. Thomas Scott: Dr. Satan! What do you want with me?

Doctor Satan: I want a complete set of plans for your remote-control cell. If you care to be reasonable in the matter, you'll be handsomely rewarded.

Prof. Thomas Scott: I refuse to give them to you at any price!

Doctor Satan: You're testing that invention tonight on Turner's yacht. Your daughter is aboard that yacht. My men have wired explosives into the fuel tanks. The fuse is connected with the speed indicator. When the boat attains a speed of 25 knots, those charges will be fired.

Prof. Thomas Scott: I don't believe it! I still refuse to give you the plans!

Doctor Satan: I anticipated you might be stubborn. Perhaps a little time might change your mind... particularly when you realize that each minute will bring your daughter a minute closer to death!

Movie: Doctor X
River Song: OK. I've mapped the probability vectors, done a foldback on the temporal isometry, chartered the ship to its destination and... parked us right alongside!

The Doctor: Parked us? We haven't landed!

River Song: Of course we've landed - I just landed her!

The Doctor: But... it didn't make the noise.

River Song: What noise?

The Doctor: You know, the...
[imitates Tardis noise]

River Song: It's not supposed to make that noise - *you* leave the brakes on!

Tenth Doctor: [excited about meeting his past self] Oh there it goes! The frowny face! I remember that one! Mind you, a bit saggier than I ought to be. Hair's a bit greyer. That's 'cause of me, though. Two of us together has shorted out the time differential. Should all snap back into place when we get you home. You'll never close that coat again but never mind that! Look at you! The hat, the coat, the crickety cricket stuff, the stick of celery... yeah. Brave choice, celery. But fair play to you, not a lot of men can carry off a decorative vegetable.

Fifth Doctor: Shut up! There is something very wrong with my TARDIS and I've got to do something about it very very quickly. And it would help... it really would help... if there wasn't some skinny idiot ranting in my face about every single thing that happens to be in front of him!

Tenth Doctor: Oh. Okay. Sorry... Doctor.

Movie: Doctor X
Tenth Doctor: You know, I love being you. Back when I first started at the very beginning, I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important like you do when you're young, and then I was you. And I was all dashing about and playing cricket and my voice going all squeaky when I shout and I still do that! The voice thing, I got that from you! Oh!
[shows trainers]

Tenth Doctor: And the trainers and...
[puts on glasses]

Tenth Doctor: Snap. Because you know what, Doctor? You were my Doctor.

Fifth Doctor: To days to come.

Tenth Doctor: All my love to long ago.
