"You haven't won the game yet, Morgaine."
"I could always defeat you at chess, Merlin."
"Who said anything about playing chess? I've been playing poker. And I have an Ace up my sleeve..."
The Doctor and Morgaine, in "Battlefield"
"Nice work, Doctor."
"Well, I thought she was bluffing!"
Ace and the Doctor, as the Destroyer is freed, in "Battlefield"
"What was that?"
"That, Brigadier, was the beginning of the end of the world."
"Same as ever, eh, Doctor?"
The Brigadier and the Doctor, in "Battlefield"
"Pitiful. Can this world do no better than you as its champion?"
"Probably. I just do the best I can."
The Destroyer and the Brigadier, in "Battlefield"
You stupid stubborn thickheaded numbskull, you were supposed to die in bed! I could have handled it...
The Doctor, in "Battlefield"
Ace, I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. He's all yours from now on... I'm going home to Doris.
The Brigadier, in "Battlefield"
"Ace, have you no sense of occasion?"
"No."
The Doctor and Ace, in "Battlefield"
I ought to have given myself more warning.
The Doctor, in "Battlefield"
Time and Time Lords wait for no man.
The Doctor, in "Battlefield"
"Don't you find the Commander's orders peculiar sometimes, soldier?"
"Peculiar or not, orders is orders."
The Doctor and a soldier, in "The Curse of Fenric"
And the half-time score: Perivale: 600 million; rest of the universe: nil.
Ace, in "The Curse of Fenric"
"Objects can't harm us, it's human belief. And you stopped believing when the bombs started falling."
"I'm not frightened of German bombs."
"Not German bombs; British, falling on German cities."
The vampiric Phyllis and Rev Wainwright, in "The Curse of Fenric"
I'm not an invalid, I'm a cripple. I'm also a genius, so shut up, the pair of you!
Dr Judson, in "The Curse of Fenric"
If you want a job done properly, get a girl to do it. Out of the way, boys!
Ace, in "The Curse of Fenric"
"Another explosion might bring the roof down on top of our heads."
"Oh, just a small one?"
The Doctor and Ace, in "The Curse of Fenric"
Ah, the sound of dying... When it comes to death, quantity is so much more satisfying than quality.
Dr Judson/Fenric, in "The Curse of Fenric"
Don't interrupt me when I'm eulogizing.
Dr Judson/Fenric, in "The Curse of Fenric"
Thousands of years in the future, the Earth lays dying, the surface just a chemical slime. Half a million years of industrial progress...
The Doctor, in "The Curse of Fenric"
"Don't you have things you hate?"
"I can't stand burnt toast. I loathe bus stations, terrible places, full of lost luggage and lost souls."
Ace and the Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
I'm not interested in money. <pause> How much?
The Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
Oh, don't worry; I always leave things till the last moment.
The Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
"You're so smug and self-satisfied, Doctor."
"I try."
Josiah and the Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
After this I'll get a job at Sellafield; it'll be safer.
Ace, in "Ghost Light"
Just do what I do when I do it.
The Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
"At the season when ice floods swamped the pasturelands, we herded the mammoths sunwards to find new grazing."
"Tricky things, mammoths."
Nimrod and Inspector Mackenzie, in "Ghost Light"
Now the wild world is lost, in a desert of smoke and straight lines.
Nimrod, in "Ghost Light"
"Where's Nimrod?"
"He's gone to see a man about a god."
Ace and the Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
All civilisation starts with hunting and foraging, but don't worry, you'll soon work your way up.
The Doctor, soliloquizing to a beetle, in "Ghost Light"
"Doctor, you are as powerful as you are wise."
"Cut the homespun twaddle, Nimrod. It's not wise. I've lit the blue touch paper and found there's nowhere to retire to."
Nimrod and the Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
"I once spent centuries, faithfully cataloguing every species there, every organism from the smallest bacterium to the largest ichthyosaur. But as soon as I'd finished, the whole world started changing."
"That's life."
Light and the Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
Things are getting out of control; even I can't play this many games at once!
The Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
I know you. I took you up as the last specimen of the extinct Neanderthal race from Earth. ... At least they knew when to stop evolving.
Light, to Nimrod, in "Ghost Light"
Hate world. Hate freeness, it bites!
Control, in "Ghost Light"
When you're a kid, you smash things you hate. But what do I do if it keeps coming back?
Ace, in "Ghost Light"
I could forgive her those little trips to Java ... if she didn't enjoy them so much.
The Doctor, about Gwendoline, in "Ghost Light"
And I don't think much about your catalogue. It's full of gaps. ... What about the gryphons? Basilisks? You missed the dragons, the bandersnatches. And then there are the slithy toves, and the crowned Saxe-Coburg. ... I can't think how you missed them.
The Doctor, to Light, in "Ghost Light"
"You are endlessly agitating, unceasingly mischievous. Will you never stop?"
"I suppose I could; it would make a change."
Light and the Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
"So I burnt the house down."
"Any regrets?"
"Yes. I wish I'd blown it up instead!"
Ace and the Doctor, in "Ghost Light"
"You had to pick a Sunday, didn't you? You bring me back to the boredom capital of the universe, and you pick the one day of the week you can't even get a decent television programme."
Ace, in "Survival"
"So what's so terrible about Perivale?"
"Nothing ever happens here."
The Doctor and Ace, in "Survival"
"How long since I was here?"
"You've been away as long as you think you have."
Ace and the Doctor, in "Survival"
He doesn't have to outrun the lion, only his friend. Then the lion catches up with his friend and eats him. The strong survive, the weak are killed: the law of the jungle! ... Yes, very clever, if you don't mind losing your friend. But what happens when the next lion turns up? I think you'd better get your running shoes on, gentlemen.
The Doctor, in "Survival"
"I'm sure I've forgotten something."
"Oi, haven't you forgotten something?"
"Yes?"
"Money."
"No, it wasn't that."
The Doctor and the storekeeper, in "Survival"
That was what they said; either you were dead or you had gone to Birmingham.
Ange, in "Survival"
Not a very efficient way to hunt, is it? All that noise and pantomime just to slaughter one little animal. No, if you're going to hunt, you stalk your prey, you observe it so you can take it by surprise, and then you don't kill too many, cover your tracks, so you don't leave a smell. Can you smell that?
The Doctor, in "Survival"
When is a cat not a cat? When it builds a cat-flap...
The Doctor, in "Survival"
This is Derek. Been doing very well; he's been here three weeks and only got flesh wounds.
Midge, in "Survival"
"You follow me and I'll get us through this. I'm a hunting animal; I've got the instinct for it."
"Oh, do shut up."
Sergeant Patterson and the Doctor, in "Survival"
"Master? Who's he?"
"An evil genius. My oldest, deadliest of enemies."
"Do you know any nice people? You know, ordinary people? Not power- crazed nutters trying to take over the galaxy?"
Ace and the Doctor, in "Survival"
Do you bleed? I can always do something to you, if you bleed.
Karra, to the Master, in "Survival"
"It seems we must always meet again."
"They do say opposites attract."
The Master and the Doctor, in "Survival"
There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea is asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace; we've got work to do!
The Doctor's final words, in "Survival"
A Time Lord has thirteen lives, and the Master had used all of his. But rules never meant much to him. So I stowed his remains safely for the voyage back, because even in death I couldn't trust him.
The Doctor's voice-over, in "The Enemy Within"
I am not Bruce. It took me a minute, with the talking and the walking, but I am not Bruce.
The Master, in "The Enemy Within"
"Yes!"
"What?!?"
"These shoes! They fit perfectly!"
The Doctor and Grace, in "The Enemy Within"
"See? I told you it was small."
"What is it they say?"
"Yes, they say that on my planet, too."
The Doctor and Grace, in "The Enemy Within"
Is this thing reliable?
Grace, asking about the TARDIS, in "The Enemy Within"
This is no time to play doctors and nurses.
The Doctor, in "The Enemy Within"
What a sentimental old thing this TARDIS is!
The Doctor, in "The Enemy Within"
I never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones.
The Doctor, in Timewyrm: Genesys
"Mastery of English?" Well, I'd reverse the roles, personally: it's English that has mastered me.
The Doctor, in "...ish"
He loves language. Which is great, but it blows poetic and pedantic at times.
Peri, on the Doctor, in "...ish"
When will violent death ever make sense? We only make what we can, Cawdry, from that which surrounds it.
The Doctor, in "...ish"
Oh, circumlocute this!
The Doctor, in "...ish"
