The Doctor: Why me?

The Doctor: Oh, I think I know. Is it because I'm...

Victoria: Well, if you are four hundred and fifty years old, you need a great deal of sleep.

The Doctor: Well, that's very considerate of you, Victoria. But, between you and me, I'm really quite lively actually - all things being considered. Are you happy with us, Victoria?

Victoria: Yes, I am. At least, I would be if my father were here.

The Doctor: Yes, I know, I know.

Victoria: I wonder what he would have thought if he could see me now.

The Doctor: You miss him very much, don't you?

Victoria: It's only when I close my eyes. I can still see him standing there. Before those horrible Dalek creatures came to the house. He was a very kind man. I shall never forget him. Never.

The Doctor: No, of course you won't. But, you know, the memory of him won't always be a sad one.

Victoria: I think it will. You can't understand, being so ancient.

The Doctor: Eh?

Victoria: I mean old.

The Doctor: Oh.

Victoria: You probably can't remember your family.

The Doctor: Oh, yes, I can, when I want to, and that's the point really.

[Ben laughs]

The Doctor: You sound very happy, Jamie.

Jamie McCrimmon: Oh aye, Doctor, I am now. You know I never thought I'd say this, but well it's great.

Polly Wright: What is?

Jamie McCrimmon: All this. I'll never know what makes it go, mind you, but, well at least I feel safe in here. It's only the wee things outside that are, well, alarming.

The Doctor: You've got a point there.

Ben Jackson: Yeah, you can say that again.

Jamie McCrimmon: It's a fact, though, Doctor? You can't exactly control the TARDIS?

The Doctor: Control it? Course I can control it.

Jamie McCrimmon: No-no what I meant was, can you not exactly make it go where you mean it to?

The Doctor: If I wanted to. It's just that I've never wanted to.

Ben Jackson: Oh, yes, I bet.

Polly Wright: Ooow.

The Doctor: Right! Just for that, I'll show you. Now, where shall we go? I know, let's go to Mars.

Movie: Doctor X
[on the Paradox machine]

The Master: My masterpiece, Doctor. A living TARDIS, strong enough to hold the paradox in place, allowing the past and the future to collide in infinite majesty.

The Doctor: But you're changing history. Not just Earth, the entire universe.

The Master: I'm a Time Lord. I have that right.

The Doctor: But even then... why come all this way just to destroy?

Toclafane: We come backwards in time, all to build a brand new empire lasting one hundred trillion years.

The Master: With me as their master. Time Lord and humans combined. Haven't you always dreamt of that, Doctor?

Dalek: Why do we survive?

The Doctor: I don't know.

Dalek: I am the last of the Daleks.

Dalek: Into what?

The Doctor: Something new. I'm sorry.

Rose Tyler: Isn't that better?

The Doctor: Not for a Dalek.

Dalek: I can feel. So many ideas. So much darkness. Rose, give me orders. Order me to die.

Rose Tyler: I can't do that.

Donna Noble: [softly] It's not fair.

The Doctor: [softly] No, it's not.

Donna Noble: [crying] But your own planet, it burned.

The Doctor: That's just it. Don't you see, Donna? Can't you understand? If I could go back and save them, then I would, but I can't!

The Doctor: [pauses] I can *never* go back. I can't. I just can't. I can't.

Donna Noble: Just someone. Please.

Donna Noble: [sobbing] Not the whole town. Just save someone.

Jamie: What's a passport, Doctor?

Dr. Who: Oh, some sort of official mumbo-jumbo.
[to Jenkins]

Dr. Who: Look! We've just discovered a dead body out there! Did you hear me?

Jenkins: [Unperturbed] Well, sir. If I were you I'd inform the police.

Dr. Who: Then please tell me where we can find them.

Jenkins: There's probably a policeman in the main concourse.

Jamie: And where is that?

Jenkins: Through this door and turn to your left.

Dr. Who: Well thank you. Thank you very much. Come on, Jamie.

Jenkins: May I see your passport, Sir?

Dr. Who: [Snaps] Well neither of us have passports! Now does that satisfy you?

Jenkins: I think you must b

Polly: But look, surely I... it's possible for us not to lose Earth's energy?

Cyberman: It is inevitable.

Polly: Then you don't mind if we all die.

Cyberman: Why should we mind?

The Doctor: [outraged] WHY? WHY?

Polly: Because millions and millions of people are going to suffer and die horribly!

Cyberman: We shall not be affected.

Polly: Don't you think of anything except yourselves?
