“When did you last have the pleasure of smelling a flower, watching a sunset, eating a well-prepared meal?”

“There's always something to look at if you open your eyes.”

“Courage isn’t just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It’s being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.”

“A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting.”

“Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.”

“The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don’t alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.”

“Planets come and go. Stars perish. Matter disperses, coalesces, forms into other patterns, other worlds. Nothing can be eternal.”

“Oh, the blossomiest blossom. That's the only sad thing. I want to know what happens next. Right, then. Doctor Whoever-I'm-about-to-be. Tag, you're it.”

DOCTOR: You look very nice in that dress, Victoria.

VICTORIA: Thank you. Don't you think it's a bit--

DOCTOR: A bit short? Oh, I shouldn't worry about that. Look at Jamie's.

“Ace, give me some of that Nitro Nine that you're not carrying.”

DOCTOR: May I ask what you're doing here?

ORCINI: You may, but only a fool would expect an answer.

“There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do!”

PERI: I only hope it believes you.

DOCTOR: Well, if it doesn't, I shall beat it into submission with my charm.

“You know, you're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain.”

DAVROS: The Daleks shall become Lords of Time! We shall become all-

DOCTOR: - Powerful. Crush the lesser races. Conquer the galaxy. Unimaginable power. Unlimited rice pudding, et cetera, et cetera.

“Cos sometimes this team structure isn't flat. It's mountainous, with me at the summit in the stratosphere, alone, left to choose.”

“I'm a doctor. But probably not the one you're expecting.”

OHILA: We restored you to life, but it's a temporary measure. You have a little under four minutes.

DOCTOR: Four minutes? That's ages. What if I get bored? I need a television, couple of books, anyone for chess? Bring me knitting.

“Change, my dear. And it seems not a moment too soon.”

“Sometimes the only choices you have are bad ones. But you still have to choose.”

RIVER: Does sarcasm help?

DOCTOR: Wouldn't it be a great universe if it did?

VASTRA: But could the child have begun on the TARDIS in flight, in the vortex?

DOCTOR: No! No! Impossible! It's all running about, sexy fish vampires and blowing up stuff. And Rory wasn't even there at the beginning. Then he was dead, then he didn't exist, then he was plastic. Then I had to reboot the whole universe. Long story. So, technically the first time they were on the TARDIS together in this version of reality, was on their w-

VASTRA: On their what?

DOCTOR: On their wedding night.

SEVENTH DOCTOR: Do you know, talking to yourself is often thought to be the first sign of madness?

SIXTH DOCTOR: Yes. But a little madness helps, don’t you think?

““It’s not just the TARDIS that has relative dimensions, Ace, but the societies that we visit, too.””

DOCTOR: Look, er, I'm sorry about our argument earlier.

ADRIC: So am I. I over-reacted.

DOCTOR: Do you really want to go home?

ADRIC: No, of course not. There's nothing there for me any more.

DOCTOR: So you've done all these calculations for nothing.

ADRIC: Well, it made a point, didn't it? Besides, who knows? I might change my mind again.

“Isn't' it a better thing to travel hopefully than arrive?”

DOCTOR: Paul Tanner, congratulations, you're today’s lucky winner. Ace, tell the man what he’s won.

ACE: A complete set of explanations from the Professor here. And you have no idea what a rare and precious thing that is.

“Love from Gallifrey boys!”

MASTER: That's right, you tell me. And Ace! Or should I say Dorothy? Didn't the Doctor ditch you? No? Little fallout with your Machiavellian maestro?

ACE: Last time I saw you, you were half cat.

MASTER: A man's allowed to experiment.

DALEK TIME CONTROLLER: (speaker) You will surrender.

LUCIE MILLER: Not likely, mate. You come here, you mess up my planet, you mess up my life, and now you say you're going to kill the best bloke I ever met? You think I'm going to just, what, bleedin' surrender? Well, all I can say is you don't know me. You don't know me at all. And just in case you wanted to know who it was who blew you to pieces, the name is Lucie Miller. You got that? Lucie bleedin' Miller!

MISS QUILL: That's the size of a kitten.

BALLON: Are kittens dangerous?

MISS QUILL: Only if you insult their worshippers online.

(Armitage enters.)

QUILL: Leave us! We are decorating.

(Armitage leaves.)

(Miss Quill reading The Hunger Games)

MISS QUILL: Did this really happen?

CORAKINUS: We are here for the Cabinet.

DOCTOR: Oh, the Cabinet! Oh, that's easy. There's this painfully strange shop here called IKEA.
