BELINDA: Is that better or worse than humans?

DOCTOR: If you start deciding which body is best, you’re going down a very dangerous path.

BELINDA: You mean it's literally the same diploma, like in a time travel way?

DOCTOR: Timey-wimey.

BELINDA: Timey-wimey?

DOCTOR: Yup.

BELINDA: Am I six?

DOCTOR: We couldn't save all of them.

FADE: We could save some.

DOCTOR: "Some" isn't good enough.

CHRIS: The overrides are biometrically linked to me.

DOCTOR: So I’d need a sample of your DNA to trip the lock. Right! You know what you need to do.

CHRIS: Oh, all right, fine. I’ll kiss you.

(Mwah! Chris kisses the Doctor.)

DOCTOR: Oh. No, I just meant a follicle of your hair.

CHRIS: Oh. Really?

DOCTOR: But don’t worry about it.

CHRIS: Oh, I’m so embarrassed.

DOCTOR: There should be enough on my lips, um—oh, actually I probably need a bit extra. Hang on.

(Mmmmwah! The Doctor kisses Chris back.)

The prophecies of old foretold a war across the stars.

The cosmos torn asunder. Every planet left with scars.

From Skaro to Kasterborous, and Villengard as well —

Some know it as the Time War, but the Time Lords call it Hell.

The seven deaths of Davros, and the slaughter of Skull Moon.

The Neverwhen, the Never-weres, the Never-Gone-Too-Soon.

The war raged on for eons, and it’s only just begun,

Fragmenting space and causing time itself to be undone.

Until a man is born upon the barren sands of Karn,

Until that man confronts himself twice over, in a barn.

Until the Daleks breach the second city, and it falls.

Until that man engraves the words “No More” into the walls.

I am that man, and I will take this Moment to avow:

If once there was a Doctor, there is not a Doctor now.

DOCTOR: Ugh! Do you see? This is why nobody likes you! You have to be mysterious all the time. That's why everyone leaves you. That is why you are always alone.

ROGUE: Live. Talk with everyone. Laugh. Dare to ask someone, "Is this seat taken?"

RUBY: You great big god of nothing!

KATE: Doctor, are you there? This is me signing off… with thanks and love. And please send this monster back into hell. Because I have to hope that the birds will sing again. There will be birds.

MEL: There's nothing we can do… except fight!

FLOOD: Do you believe in the power of prayer?

CHERRY: I most certainly do.

FLOOD: Then tell your maker I will come to storm down his gates of gold and seize his kingdom in my true name.

CHERRY: Wh… whatcha talkin' about? Who… who are you?

(Mrs Flood puts her arm around Cherry.)

FLOOD: I'm sorry, you tiny little woman. I'm so, so sorry it ends like this. I had such plans…

KIND WOMAN: I think my daughter died, didn't she? And I forgot.

DOCTOR: I think she did. I'm sorry.

SUSAN: Oh, pet. Anything to help. I don't mind. I'll make the tea.

IBRAHIM: Did you make this tea?

SUSAN: I did, yes.

IBRAHIM: Don't make the tea.

RUBY: Yeah, I never understood. What was all that Egyptian stuff?

DOCTOR: Cultural appropriation.

DOCTOR: Oh, we are not just going to analyse this... Kate, do you have a Time window?

KATE: You expressly told us in the 1970s, UNIT was absolutely forbidden to experiment with any form of time technology.

DOCTOR: Do you have a Time window?

KATE: Ten floors down.

KATE: But... Okay, the grandchild exists and you've got the TARDIS, but you've never gone back to see her. Why not?

DOCTOR: You've seen my life. I bring disaster, Kate. Disaster. What if I go back and ruin her?

KATE: For what it's worth, I think you bring joy.

MORRIS: It's off the scale. That thing is hot. It's cold. It's radioactive. It's dead. It's everything. I don't know!

CARLA: I know its name. It's the Beast!

DOCTOR: You know, I used to tell people I walked in Eternity. And the thing about Eternity is, well—it does go on.

DOCTOR: You lost someone.

ROGUE: How do you know that?

DOCTOR: Because I know.

ROGUE: There was... Yeah. We travelled together. We had fun, y'know? And then a day came along, and at the end of that day... I lost them. What about you?

DOCTOR: I lost everyone.

ROGUE: At the party, I saw you with that woman.

DOCTOR: Mmm. My best friend.

ROGUE: Do you ever wonder... why keep going?

DOCTOR: Because we have to. We have to live each day because they can't. You don't have to stay a bounty hunter, Rogue. You could travel with me. Oh, the worlds I could show you, Rogue.

ROGUE: And what if I like what I do? Would you travel with me?

DOCTOR: That is quite an argument. I'll tell you what. When we both get out of this, let's argue across the stars.

ROGUE: I'd like that.

DOCTOR: (sotto) Say anything.

(Rogue goes down on one knee and holds up a ring.)

DOCTOR: Sorry. I c... I ca...

DUCHESS: People look to me as an arbiter of taste.

CHULDUR LEADER: What, in that dress?

ROGUE: Find me.

RUBY: Can't we use the TARDIS and go find him?

DOCTOR: There are as many dimensions as there are atoms in the universe. Don't even know his real name.

RUBY: I'm sorry.

DOCTOR: Anyway. It is what it is, so onwards. Fine. Next. Off we go. Where shall we go? Anywhere.

RUBY: Doctor, you don't have to be like this.

DOCTOR: I have to be like this, 'cos this is what I'm like. Onwards. Upwards. New horizons. Moving on. It's fine.

RUBY: Okay, can you just shut up a second?

(She gives him a hug.)

DOCTOR: It's good to have you back, Ruby.

RUBY: And you, Doctor. Hmm.

(The Doctor uses his sonic as a magnifier, spots a set of dice.)

DOCTOR: Ah ha. Did you get your name from Dungeons and Dragons?

ROGUE: Roll for Insight.
