Remember every black day I ever stopped you, and then, and then, do the smart thing. Let somebody else try first.”
RORY: But I don't understand. Why am I here? DOCTOR: Because you are. The universe is big. It's vast and complicated and ridiculous, and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles, and that's the theory.

DOCTOR: Coward. Any day.
DALEK: You will obey or she will be exterminated. DOCTOR: No. DALEK: Explain yourself. DOCTOR: I said no. DALEK: What is the meaning of this negative? DOCTOR: It means no. DALEK: But she will be destroyed. DOCTOR: No! Because this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to rescue her. I'm going to save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet. And then I'm going to save the Earth, and then, just to finish off, I'm going to wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky! DALEK: But you have no weapons, no defences, no plan. DOCTOR: Yeah. And doesn't that scare you to death. Rose? ROSE: Yes, Doctor? DOCTOR: I'm coming to get you.
DALEK: You will obey or she will be exterminated.
DOCTOR: No.

“Killed by an insect. A girl. How inappropriate. Still, if the Doctor can be young and strong, then so can I. The Master reborn.”
DOCTOR: What are you holding? Show me. Friend. Doctor, Donna. Friend. Let me see. Look at me. Let me see. That's it. That's it, go on. Go on. (The Ood opens his hands. He is holding a small brain.) DONNA: Is that? DOCTOR: It's a brain. A hind brain. The Ood are born with a secondary brain. Like the amygdala in humans, it processes memory and emotions. You get rid of that, you wouldn't be Donna any more. You'd be like an Ood. A processed Ood. DONNA: So the company cuts off their brains? DOCTOR: And they stitch on the translator. DONNA: Like a lobotomy. I spent all that time looking for you, Doctor, because I thought it was so wonderful out here. I want to go home.

ROSE: What've you been doing? Where've you been? DOCTOR: Well, among other things, I think just invented the banana daiquiri a few centuries early. Do you know, they've never even seen a banana before. Always take a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good. (The Doctor turns toward the Clocwork Droids) Doctor: Oh ho, ho, ho, ho, brilliant. It's you. You're my favourite, you are. You are the best! Do you know why? Because you're so thick. You're Mister Thick Thick Thickity Thick Face from Thicktown, Thickania. And so's your dad.
