The Star Beast

“Once upon a time… Once upon a Time Lord, I had a best friend, and her name was Donna Noble. A Time Lord and a human, and we travelled the stars together.”

SHAUN: Oh, sat nav says they're closing all the roads.

DOCTOR: Oh, I know some roads even the taxi drivers don't. Trust me. (psychic paper) Grand Master of the Knowledge.

SHAUN: That says Grand Mistress.

DOCTOR: (to the psychic paper) Oh, catch up.

“ (to Rose) Listen, you. I would burn down the world for you, darling. Anyone has a go, I will be there and I will descend.”

“Sometimes I think there's something missing. Like I had something lovely, and it's gone. And I… I kind of… I kind of look to the side, like… like something should be there, but it's not. And I know I've got Rose and Shaun and you, and the biggest sausage roll I've ever seen, frankly. I should be happy. I should be really happy. But some nights… I lie in bed thinking "What have I lost?"”

MEEP: Meep, meep!

ROSE: Oh, my God. Hello. I mean, wow. What are you?

MEEP: I am The Meep.

ROSE: You can talk? Oh, my God.

MEEP: Meep, meep.

ROSE: My name is Rose. I'm a human. What happened? Did you crash?

MEEP: I fell from the stars. I hurt my paw.

ROSE: Let me see.

MEEP: No! But I'm not safe. There are others from the sky. They're hunting me down to kill me.

ROSE: Who are they?

MEEP: Monsters.

SHIRLEY: Shirley Anne Bingham, UNIT Scientific Adviser No. 56.

DOCTOR: Oh! I was Scientific Adviser No. 1.

“I don't believe in destiny, but if destiny exists, then it is heading for Donna Noble right now.”

“No such thing as spaceships? We've got a bloody Martian in the shed!”

ROSE: You're assuming "he" as a pronoun?

DOCTOR: True. Yes. Sorry. Good point. Are you he or she or they?

MEEP: My chosen pronoun is the definite article. I am always The Meep.

DOCTOR: Oh. I do that.

MEEP: The Wrarth Warriors. They cultivate Meepkind for our beautiful fur. But then the galaxy said, "No more fur. It's wrong." So the Wrarth Warriors slaughtered their livestock.

DOCTOR: You're a fashion victim. Sorry.

“Oh, to hell with this. Exhibit C! No stun guns for me! Just die!”

DONNA: We could be living somewhere far away from here. Monte Carlo. Switzerland. And you'd be safe, Rose. It's all my fault. I gave away that lottery money.

DOCTOR: Why?

DONNA: Because… there are places out there where people are in danger and in pain and fear. And I could help. It just felt like the sort of thing he would do.

DOCTOR: You've got weapons in your wheelchair?

SHIRLEY: We all have.

DONNA: How long have I got to live?

DONNA AND FOURTEENTH DOCTOR: Fifty five seconds.

DONNA: Best 55 seconds of my life, because I get to do this.

COMPUTER: Ignition halted.

DONNA: Donna Noble is descending.

DONNA: Why did this face come back?

DOCTOR: I don't know.

DONNA: To say goodbye?

DOCTOR: We're binary.

DONNA: She's not, because the Doctor's…

DOCTOR: ..male…

DONNA: ..and female.

ROSE: And neither. And more.

“My father would be impressed. I have no higher compliment.”

SHIRLEY: There's a word for you, Doctor. And that word is "jammy".

DOCTOR: Jam on toast.

“After all these years, I'm… finally me.”

“Ha-ha-ha! Oh, this is amazing! It changed! Oh, you clever thing! Look at that! It's got this! And that!”

“I really do remember, though. Every second with you. I'm so glad you're back, cos it killed me, Donna. It killed me, it killed me, it killed me.”

“We can have more days, can't we? I mean, why is it such a big goodbye with you? Why is it one last trip? Cos you could visit with my family. We could do outrageous things, like have tea, or dinner, and a laugh. And Rose's school play. Well, maybe not that. She can't act. She's terrible. I don't know how to tell her. But the point is, you've been given a second chance. You can do things different this time. So why don't you do something completely new, and have some friends?”

DONNA: What's happening?

DOCTOR: I've got no idea. It's completely out of control! We could end up anywhere in Time and Space!

“Meep meep!”
