DOCTOR: There's this moment where you're sure you're about to die and then you're born. It's terrifying. Right now I'm a stranger to myself. There's echoes of who I was and a sort of call towards who I am. And I have to hold my nerve and trust all these new instincts. Shape myself towards them. I'll be fine. In the end. Hopefully. Well, I have to be, because you guys need help and if there's one thing I'm certain of, when people need help, I never refuse. Right? This is going to be fun.

DOCTOR: When people need help, I never refuse.

DOCTOR: We’re all capable of the most incredible change. We can evolve while still staying true to who we are. We can honour who we’ve been and choose who we want to be next. Now’s your chance. How about it?

GRAHAM: And I know if she was here now, she'd tell us not to be so sad. You see, I can hear her saying to me, Graham, we had three glorious years, what're you complaining about? I'm complaining because I wanted more.

YASMIN: Have you got family?

DOCTOR: No. Lost them a long time ago.

RYAN: How do you cope with that?

DEAN: Halloween's next month, mate. (throws salad at him) Eat my salad, Halloween!

GRACE: That was a big fall you had, love. We should get you checked out at A&E.

DOCTOR: No, no, no. I never go anywhere that’s just initials.

YASMIN: You don’t know your own name?

DOCTOR: Course I know it. I just can’t remember it. It’s right there, on the tip of my… What’s that?

RYAN: Tongue?

DOCTOR: Tongue! Smart boy. Biology. What did she call you? Ryan?

RYAN: Yeah. Ryan Sinclair.

DOCTOR: Good name. Are you a doctor, Ryan?

RYAN: No.

DOCTOR: Shame. I’m looking for a doctor.

GRAHAM: Go on, Ryan! You’re doing it, mate!

YAZ: What do we do when we get up there?

DOCTOR: Don’t worry, I’ve got a plan.

YAZ: Really?

DOCTOR: I'm just a traveller. Sometimes I see things need fixing, I do what I can.

GRAHAM: Are we supposed to understand anything you're saying?
