The Christmas Invasion

Sycorax leader: The yellow girl; she has the clever blue box, therefore she speaks for your planet.
Harriet Jones: But she can't!
Rose: Yeah, I can.
Mickey: Don't you dare.
Rose: Someone's got to be the Doctor.
Harriet Jones: They'll kill you!
Rose: Never stopped him. I, um...I address the Sycorax...according to...article fifteen of the Shadow Proclamation. I command you to leave this world, with all the authority of...the Slitheen parliament of Raxicoricofallapatorius and, um...the Gelth Confederacy... as, uh, sanctioned...by the Mighty Jagrafess and...ooh, the Daleks! Now, leave this planet in peace!

The Doctor: My head, argh, I'm having a neuron implosion. I need...
Jackie: What do you need?
The Doctor: I need...
Jackie: Just say
The Doctor: I need..
Jackie: Tell me, tell me, tell me. Painkillers?
The Doctor: I need..
Jackie: Do you need asprin?
The Doctor: I...
Jackie: Codiene, paracaetamol?
The Doctor: I...
Jackie: Oh, I dunno, Pepto Bismol?
The Doctor: I need...
Jackie: Liquid parafin. Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E
The Doctor: I need...
Jackie: Is it food? Something simple. Bowl of soup. Nice bowl of soup. Soup and a sandwich. Ooh soup and a little ham sandwich.
The Doctor: I need you to shut up!
Jackie: Oh he hasn't changed that much has he!?

Jackie: I'm gonna be killed by a Christmas tree!!

The Doctor: We haven't got much time. If there's pilot fish then- why is there an apple in my dressing gown?
Jackie: Oh, that's Howard's, sorry.
The Doctor: He keeps apples in his dressing gown?
Jackie: He gets hungry...
The Doctor: What, he gets hungry in his sleep?
Jackie: Sometimes...

The Doctor: How am I gonna react when I see this... A great big threatening button. A great big threatening button which must not be pressed under any circumstances. Am I right?

The Doctor: This new hand, it's a fightin' hand!

Doctor: See, that's the thing, I'm the Doctor, but beyond that, I ... I just don't know. I literally do not know who I am. So I'm testing. Am I ... funny? Am I sarcastic? Sexy? (winks at Rose) Right old misery? Life and soul? Right-handed, left-handed, a gambler, a fighter, a coward, a traitor, a liar, a nervous wreck – I mean, judging by the evidence, I've certainly got a gob!

Doctor: Now, first things first. Be honest, how do I look?
Rose: Uh... different.
Doctor: Am I... ginger?
Rose: No, you're just sort of... brown.
Doctor: Aw! I always wanted to be ginger!

Doctor: Ah! Blood control! I haven't seen blood control for years!

Danny Llewellyn: That means they might not be Martians at all.
Major Blake: Of course not. Martians look completely different.

The Doctor: By the ancient rites of combat I forbid you to scavenge here for the rest of time. And when you go back to the stars and tell others of this planet... When you tell them of its riches, its people, its potential... When you talk of Earth, then make sure that you tell them this... It is defended!

The Doctor: From the day they arrive on this planet ... blinking step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than, no hold on... (Pause) ... Sorry, that's The Lion King...

Major Blake: I'm getting demands from Washington, ma'am. The President's insisting that he takes control of the situation.
Harriet Jones: You can tell the President- and please use these exact words- he's not my boss and he's certainly not turning this into a war.

Newsreader: Off the record, goverment sources are calling this, our longest night.

Mickey: Tea! Can't we have a picnic while the world comes to an end? Very British!

The Doctor: (opens the door of the TARDIS) Did you miss me?

Jackie: Anything else he's got two of?

Rose: Mum, look in the sky. There is a great big alien invasion and I don't know what to do, alright?

The Doctor: No second chances. I'm that sort of man.

Harriet Jones: What about Torchwood?
Major Blake: Still working on it. Bear in mind they just lost a third of their staff.
Harriet Jones: But do they have what we need?
Major Blake: Yes, ma'm
Harriet Jones: Well, tell them to hurry up.

Jackie: What do you mean that's the Doctor? Doctor Who?

Harriet Jones: Doctor? Are you out there? We need you. I don't know what to do ... Help us, Doctor, please, help us.

New Earth

Cassandra-Possessed Rose: You're not exactly nun with gun, you're not even armed.
Matron Casp: Who needs arms when we have claws?

The Doctor: Nice place. No shop, downstairs. I'd have a shop. Not a big one - just a shop. So people can shop.

The Doctor: Strictly speaking it's the fifteenth new york since the original. So that makes it new, new new new, new new new new new new, new new new, new, new york. (Rose is staring at him) What?
Rose: You're so different.
The Doctor: New New Doctor.

Cassandra-Possessed Chip: Oh sweet lord, I'm a walking doodle...

The Doctor: I'm The Doctor. And if you don't like it, if you want to take it to a higher authority: there isn't one. It stops with me.

Cassandra-Possessed Rose: Inside her head… they’re so alone. They keep reaching out just to hold us. All their lives… and they’ve never been touched.

Matron Casp: Anything we can do to help?
Cassandra-Possessed Rose: Straight to the point, Whiskers. I want money.
Matron Casp: The Sisterhood is a charity. We don’t give money. We only accept.
Cassandra-Possessed Rose: The humans across the water pay you a fortune. And that’s exactly what I need. A one-off payment, that’s all I want. And perhaps a yacht. In return for which, I will tell the city nothing of your institutional murder. Is that a deal?

Cassandra-Possessed Rose: The Sisterhood are up to something. Remember that Old Earth saying? Never trust a nun. Never trust a nurse. And never trust a cat.

Matron Casp: Primitive species would accuse us of magic. But it’s merely the tender application of science.

The Doctor: How on Earth did you cure him?
Matron Casp: How on New Earth, you might say.

Novice Hame: (about the Face of Boe) I can hear him singing sometimes. In my mind. Such ancient songs.
The Doctor: Am I the only visitor?
Novice Hame: The rest of Boe-kind became extinct long ago. He’s the only one left. Legend says that the Face of Boe has watched the universe grow old. There’s all sorts of superstitions around him. One story says that - just before his death - the Face of Boe will impart his great secret. He will speak those words only to one like himself.

Rose: What about the skin? I saw it. You got ripped apart.
Cassandra: That piece of skin was taken from the front of my body. This piece is the back.
Rose: Right, so you’re talking out of your ar...
Cassandra: ...ask not.

Cassandra: Rose Tyler! I knew it! That dirty blonde assassin!
Chip: She’s coming here, mistress.
Cassandra: This is beyond coincidence. This is destiny. At last I can be revenged on that little- (Cut to the Doctor and Rose entering the hospital)
Rose: Bit rich coming from you.
The Doctor: I can’t help it, I don’t like hospitals. They give me the creeps.

Cassandra-Possessed Rose: Oh my god! I'm a chav!

The Doctor: Hold on, I can understand the bodies, I can understand your vows. One thing I can't understand, what have you done to Rose?
Novice Hame: I don't know what you mean.
The Doctor: And I'm being very, very calm. You wanna be aware of that, very very calm. And the only reason I'm being so very, very calm is that the brain is a delicate thing. Whatever you've done to Rose's head, I want it reversed.

Novice Hame: It's said he'll talk to a wanderer, to the man without a home. The lonely god.

The Doctor: Yup...still got it...

Cassandra-possessed Doctor: Goodness me, I'm a man... Yum!... So many parts! And hardly used... Ah.. ah! Two hearts! Oh, baby, I'm beating out a samba!
Rose: Get out of him.
Cassandra-possessed Doctor: Ooh, he's slim. And a little bit foxy. You've thought so too. I've been inside your head...You've been looking... you like it!

Cassandra Possessed Doctor: Out of the way blondie!

The Doctor: That is enigmatic. That - that is - that is textbook enigmatic.

Rose: So where we going?
The Doctor: Further than we've ever gone before!

Cassandra Possessed Rose: Oh...baby...It's like living inside a bouncy castle!

Rose: Can I just say, traveling with you, I love it.

Cassandra-Possessed Rose: Over the years, I thought of a thousand ways to kill you, Doctor. And now that's exactly what I've got. One thousand diseases.

Cassandra: Peek-a-boo.
Rose: Don't you come anywhere near me Cassandra.

Cassandra-Possessed Rose: Although...Nice rear..bumper!

The Face of Boe: We shall meet again Doctor, for the third time, and the last time, and the truth shall be told. Until that day...
