The Christmas Invasion

“I'm going to get killed by a Christmas tree!”

DOCTOR: My head! I'm having a neuron implosion. I need-

JACKIE: What do you need?

DOCTOR: I need-

JACKIE: Say it. Tell me, tell me, tell me.

DOCTOR: I need-

JACKIE: Painkillers?

DOCTOR: I need-

JACKIE: Do you need aspirin?

DOCTOR: I need-

JACKIE: Codeine? Paracetamol? Oh, I don't know, Pepto-Bismol?

DOCTOR: I need-

JACKIE: Liquid paraffin. Vitamin C? Vitamin D? Vitamin E?

DOCTOR: I need-

JACKIE: Is it food? Something simple. Bowl of soup. A nice bowl of soup? Soup and a sandwich? Soup and a little ham sandwich?

DOCTOR: I need you to shut up!

LLEWELLYN: You seem to be talking about aliens as a matter of fact.

HARRIET: There's an Act of Parliament banning my autobiography.

“You can tell the President, and please use these exact words, he's not my boss, and he's certainly not turning this into a war.”

“Tea. Like we're having a picnic while the world comes to an end. Very British.”

DOCTOR: Now, first things first. Be honest. How do I look?

ROSE: Umm... different.

DOCTOR: Good different or bad different?

ROSE: Just...different.

DOCTOR: Am I... ginger?

ROSE: No, you're just sort of... brown.

DOCTOR: Aw, I wanted to be ginger! I've never been ginger!

“I don't know! See, there's the thing. I'm the Doctor, but beyond that, I just don't know. I literally do not know who I am. It's all untested. Am I funny? Am I sarcastic? Sexy? Right old misery? Life and soul? Right handed? Left handed? A gambler? A fighter? A coward? A traitor? A liar? A nervous wreck? I mean, judging by the evidence, I've certainly got a gob.”

“Well, you could do that. Yeah, you could do that. Of course you could. But why? Look at these people, these human beings. Consider their potential! From the day they arrive on the planet, blinking, step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than-- no, hold on. Sorry, that's The Lion King. But the point still stands. Leave them alone!”

“You said yourself, Doctor, they'd go back to the stars and tell others about the Earth. I'm sorry, Doctor, but you're not here all the time. You come and go. It happened today. Mister Llewellyn and the Major, they were murdered. They died right in front of me while you were sleeping. In which case we have to defend ourselves.”

JACKIE: Well, I reckon you're mad, the pair of you. It's like you go looking for trouble.

DOCTOR: Trouble's just the bits-in-between! It's all waiting out there, Jackie. And it's brand new to me-- all those planets and creatures and horizons! I haven't seen them yet, not with these eyes. And it is gonna be... fantastic!
