DOCTOR: Yes. What does it feel like?

Destiny of the Daleks

BRIGADIER: A few months ago, the superpowers, Russia, America and China, decided upon a plan to ensure peace. All three powers have hidden atomic missile sites. All three agreed to give details of those sites plus full operational instructions to another neutral country.

Deep Breath

DOCTOR: He asked you a question. Will you help me?

CLARA: You shouldn't have been listening.

DOCTOR: I wasn't. I didn't need to. That was me talking. You can't see me, can you? You look at me, and you can't see me. Have you any idea what that's like? I'm not on the phone, I'm right here, standing in front of you. Please, just, just see me.

Deep Breath
Clara, looking at the Twelfth Doctor, on a busy street, TARDIS in the background

— Third Doctor, The Time Monster

DOCTOR: You're doing it again.

CLARA: Doing what?

DOCTOR: The smile.

CLARA: Yeah, I'm smiling.

DOCTOR: It's the sad smile. It's a smile but you're sad. It's confusing. It's like two emotions at once. It's like you're malfunctioning.

— Clara Oswald, Mummy on the Orient Express

CLARA: I know it's scary and difficult, but do you love being the man making the impossible choice?

DOCTOR: Kate Lethbridge Stewart, a word to the wise. As I'm sure your father would have told you, I don't like being picked up.

MOMENT: And you're going to use me to end it by killing them all, Daleks and Time Lords alike. I could, but there will be consequences for you.

WAR DOCTOR: I have no desire to survive this.

MOMENT: Then that's your punishment. If you do this, if you kill them all, then that's the consequence. You live.

The Day of the Doctor
The Moment and The Doctor, speaking

WAR DOCTOR: You're my future selves?

TEN & ELEVEN: Yes!

WAR DOCTOR: Am I having a midlife crisis? Why are you pointing your screwdrivers like that? They're scientific instruments, not water pistols. Look like you've seen a ghost.

The Day of the Doctor
The Tenth and Eleventh Doctors pointing their sonic screwdrivers at the War Doctor

BENTHAM: Encircle them. Which of you is the Doctor? The Queen of England is bewitched. I would have the Doctor's head.

WAR DOCTOR: Well, this has all the makings of your lucky day.

The Day of the Doctor
The War Doctor, looking amused. Ten and Eleven in the background

ELEVENTH DOCTOR: It's a timey-wimey thing.

WAR DOCTOR: Timey what? Timey-wimey?

TENTH DOCTOR: I've no idea where he picks that stuff up.

The Day of the Doctor
The War Doctor, looking flabbergasted at Eleven, Ten in the background pretending not to understand

WAR DOCTOR: Are you capable of speaking without flapping your hands about?

ELEVENTH DOCTOR: Yes. No. I demand to be incarcerated in the Tower immediately with my co-conspirators Sandshoes and Granddad.

WAR DOCTOR: Granddad?

The Day of the Doctor
The Eleventh, War, and Tenth Doctors

WAR DOCTOR: I don't know who you are, either of you. I haven't got the faintest idea.

MOMENT: They're you. They're what you become if you destroy Gallifrey. The man who regrets, and the man who forgets.

The Day of the Doctor
Eleventh, War, and Tenth Doctors

ELEVENTH DOCTOR: Okay. Gentlemen, we're ready. Geronimo!

TENTH DOCTOR: Allons-y!

WAR DOCTOR: Oh, for God's sake. Gallifrey stands!

The Day of the Doctor
The War Doctor in his TARDIS

WAR DOCTOR: I don't suppose we'll know if we actually succeeded. But at worst, we failed doing the right thing, as opposed to succeeding in doing the wrong.

CLARA: Life and soul, you are.

The Day of the Doctor
Clara, looking worryingly at The War Doctor

“Oh yes, of course. I suppose it makes sense. Wearing a bit thin. I hope the ears are a bit less conspicuous this time.”

DOCTOR: Oh. I do that.

The Star Beast
The Doctor is applying a bandage to The Meep

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.

The Star Beast
The Doctor on the floor talking to The Meep.

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?

— Fourteenth Doctor, Destination: Skaro

DOCTOR: She just dropped some coffee into the console.

DONNA: Well, it was never that far from the surface, mate. I always thought…

Wild Blue Yonder
Donna and The Doctor talking

“It's funny, cos I wonder where the TARDIS goes at random. Maybe it lands on some outcrop by the sea. And there's a tribe and they worship it for 100 years. Then they grow up and try to burn it. Then they get wise. They preserve it. Then they build a city all around it, till the TARDIS is just a tiny little dot, surrounded by skyscrapers and monorails. Time passes and the city falls. It all gets swept away. And there's the TARDIS… still on its outcrop… by the sea. She's the only thing I've got left.”

— Fourteenth Doctor, Wild Blue Yonder

The Doctor, angry

DOCTOR: Oh, I keep thinking, I wish I hadn't done that thing with the salt.

DONNA: What, the bad luck thing? But that was just a lie.

DOCTOR: Normally, except… I invoked a superstition at the edge of the universe, where the walls are thin and all things are possible. I've just got this feeling.

Wild Blue Yonder
The Doctor in the TARDIS

DONNA: You okay?

— Fourteenth Doctor, The Giggle
The 14th Doctor with his arms wide open. He is on the UNIT HQ helipad.

“The human race might be clever and bright and brilliant, it's also savage and venal and relentless. All the anger out there on the street - the lies, the righteousness - that's human, that's you. That's who you are. Using your intelligence to be stupid. Poisoning the world. And hating each other? You've never needed any help with that. But today, something else is using your worst attributes, playing with you like toys.”

— Fourteenth Doctor, The Giggle
The 14th Doctor, angrily giving a lecture to the humans.

MEL: I got a lift off a zingo and came back to Earth.

DOCTOR: What's a zingo?

MEL: It's a thing you get a lift off.

The Giggle
Mel and the 14th Doctor reminiscing.

DONNA: Yeah, but you always say…

DOCTOR: Oh, what do I say? What do I say? What do I say?! Because I'm always so certain. I'm all sonic and TARDIS and Time Lord. Take that away… Take away the toys, what am I? What am I now? I don't know if I can save your life this time.

The Giggle
The 14th Doctor looking sad.

“You think life is a balance between order and chaos. But the universe is not binary. Far from it. There is order and chaos… and there is play.”

— Fourteenth Doctor, The Giggle
The Doctor, in UNIT, explaining

DOCTOR: I don't understand why you're so small! You can turn bullets into flowers. Think of the good you could do. So tell me why you don't!

TOYMAKER: You know full well this is merely a face concealing a vastness that will never cease, because your good and your bad are nothing to me. All that exists is to win or to lose.

DOCTOR: And you know full well that I've had many faces, containing something far more. So come with me. Leave this tiny world. We can take your games back to the stars. We can play across the cosmos. We can be… Celestial.

The Giggle
The 14th Doctor extending an arm out to the Toymaker

“Cracks. Cracks in time. Time running out. No, couldn't be. Couldn't be. But how is a duck pond a duck pond if there aren't any ducks? And she didn't recognise the Daleks. Okay, time can shift. Time can change. Time can be rewritten. Ah. Oh! ... ... Time can be unwritten.”

— Eleventh Doctor, Flesh and Stone
The Doctor

“Mind over matter. Or more accurately, I have a mind and you don’t matter.”

— Second Doctor, Save Yourself

KANDYMAN: So you trusted me, then, Doctor.

DOCTOR: Of course.

KANDYMAN: Very wise. I am a Kandyman of my word, but now our bargain is over. It's time to kill you.

DOCTOR: I thought you might have said that.

The Happiness Patrol

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

— Susan, The Sensorites

IAN: I have a feeling we're being watched. Haven't you?

DOCTOR: No. No, no, no, no, I can't see any spooks or anything. I don't think so, no. Not particularly, no. I must say that if I lived here and I heard you roaring your head off, I'd probably come down and take a look at you.

IAN: Then take my pen?

DOCTOR: Yes, what if the power's that's got hold of the TARDIS has taken your pen? Of course! Ha ha! Now then, there's something for us to solve. Come along, come along, come along.

The Web Planet

KANDYMAN: I beg your pardon?

DOCTOR: She's come to look at your oven.

KANDYMAN: Has she, indeed? Then she should wait to be asked. Impolite guests get to feel the back of my candy hand.

The Happiness Patrol

PEX: Are these old ladies annoying you?

MEL: No!

PEX: Are you annoying these old ladies?

TILDA + TABBY: No, she isn't.

PEX: Oh.

Paradise Towers

DOCTOR: Greetings.

CARETAKER: I am the Chief Caretaker.

DOCTOR: And I am-

CARETAKER: No need to tell me. I know who you are. We have been waiting for this momentous visit for so many years. You are the man who brought Paradise Towers to life. The visionary who dreamed up its pools and lifts and squares. And now you have returned to your creation. You will make all those dilapidated lifts and rise and fall as they've never done before. All signs of wallscrawl will disappear from the corridors of Paradise Towers. The floors will gleam and the windows will shine, and will be made as new. Fellow Caretakers, do you know who this is? This is the Great Architect returned to Paradise Towers. Bid him welcome. All Hail the Great Architect, all hail.

CARETAKERS: All hail the Great Architect.

DEPUTY: What shall we do with him now then, Chief?

CARETAKER: Kill him.

Paradise Towers

CONDUCTOR: Any more fares?

DOCTOR: I would like a ticket, actually. I'd like a there and back off peak weekend break supersaver senior citizen bimonthly season with optional added facilities a free cup of coffee in a plastic glass a crocodile sandwich and make it snappy, you mechanic moron!

The Greatest Show in the Galaxy

MEL: How could they? It's obscene.

DOCTOR: Not to a Vervoid.

MEL: You can't justify it. It's just-

DOCTOR: It's a matter of perspective, Mel. In your house in Pease Pottage, you had a large garden. What did you do with the plants and weeds you uprooted?

MEL: Put them on a compost heap.

DOCTOR: They're obeying instinct, like migrating birds or salmon swimming relentlessly upstream to spawn even though they may die. A compulsive following of the life cycle. Come on, Mel.

Terror of the Vervoids

DOCTOR: I don't suppose you've completely ignored my instructions and secretly prepared any Nitro Nine, have you?

ACE: What if I had?

DOCTOR: Naturally you wouldn't do anything so insanely dangerous as to carry it around with you, would you?

ACE: Of course not. I'm a good girl. I do what I'm told.

DOCTOR: Excellent. Blow up that vehicle.
