The Doctor: Martha what?
Martha: Jones.

Martha: As far as I'm concerned you better earn that title.

Compensation.

THE SHAKESPEARE CODE

Martha: You step on a butterfly, you change the human race.
The Doctor: Then don't step on any butterflies. What do you have against butterflies?

The Doctor: Go home, you can tell everyone you've seen Shakespeare.
Martha brightly: Then I could get sectioned.

Martha: And those are men dressed as women, yeah?
The Doctor: London never changes.

Martha: Woah, nelly! I know for a fact you have wife in country.
Shakespeare: But Martha, this is town.
The Doctor: C'mon, we can have a good flirt later.
Shakespeare: That a promise, Doctor?
The Doctor: Oh... Fifity-seven academics just punched the air.

Martha: Let us out! Let us out!
The Doctor: That's not going to work. The whole building's shouting that.

Martha: What did you do?
The Doctor: I named her. The power of a name. That's old magick.
Martha: But there's no such thing as magic.
The Doctor: Well,... there's a science to it...

GRIDLOCK

The Doctor: How about a different planet?
Martha: Can we go to yours?

Martha: You're taking me to the same planets you took her?
The Doctor: What's wrong with that?
Martha: Nothing. Just a bit of a rebound.

Martha: Are they selling drugs?
The Doctor: I think they're selling moods.
Martha: Same difference.

All waste products are recycled as food.
Martha: Okay. stops eating

I never even asked. Where's home?
Martha: It's a long way away. I didn't even think. I just followed the Doctor.

Martha: You've got your faith. You've got your songs and your hymns. And I've got the Doctor.

Martha: Who is it?
The Doctor: I don't even know. Legend says the Face is literally millions of years.
The Face of Boe: Everything has its time. You know that, old friend. Better than most.

The Doctor: All closed down.
Martha: Happy?
The Doctor: Happy happy.

Martha: But what did he mean? The Face of Boe? That you're not alone?
The Doctor: I don't know.
Martha: You;ve got me, is that what he meant?
The Doctor: I don't think so.Sorry.
Martha: Then what?
The Doctor: It doesn't matter.

The Doctor: I'm not just a TIme Lord. I'm the last of the Time Lords. The Face of Boe was wrong. There's no one else.
Martha: What happened?
The Doctor: There was a war—a time war. The last great Time War. My race fought a race called the Daleks. For the sake of all creation. And they lost. They lost. Everyone lost. They're all gone now. My family. My friends. Even that sky. Oh, you should have seen it, that old planet. The second sun would rise in the south and the mountain would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver. and they'd light the sky every morning like it was on fire.

DALEKS IN MANHATTAN

Tallulah: You've got that guy in a suit...
Martha: We're not together.
Tallulah: Oh sure you are. I've seen the way you look at him. It's obvious.
Martha: Not to him.
Tallulah: I shoud have realized, he's in to musical theatre. What a waste. Still you gotta live in hope.

EVOLUTION OF THE DALEKS

Tallulah: So tell me, where'd you and him first hook up?
Martha: It was in the hospital. Sort of.

Martha: Doctor!
The Doctor: First floor perfumerie.
Tallulah to Lazlo: I never thought I'd see again.
Lazlo: No stopping me.
Martha: We worked it out—there's Dalekanium on the mast. And it's good to see you too, by the way.
The Doctor: Oh, come here! hugs Martha as the elevator closes. See? Never waste time on a hug.

Tallulah: What the hell are you two clowns doing?
Martha: Even if the Doctor stops Dalekanium this place is still gonna get hit. Great big bolt of lightning, electricity all down the building. Connect this to the lift and they get zapped.
Tallulah: Oh my god, that could work!
Frank: Then give us a hand.

THE LAZARUS EXPERIMENT

The Doctor: One trip, you said.
Martha: I suppose things just kind of escalated.
The Doctor: Seems to happen to me a lot.
Martha: Thank you. For everything.
The Doctor: It was my pleasure. leaves and then... No, I'm sorry. Did he say he was going to change what it means to be human?

The Doctor: I hate this suit. Something bad always seems to happen when I wear it.
Martha: It's not the outfit, it's just you.

Oo. He's out of his depth.
The Doctor: Now. Well this building looks like his laboratory. Now we do tests.
Martha: Lucky I've just collected a DNA sample, isn't it?
The Doctor: Oh Martha. You're a star.

Leticia: You have to spoil everything, don't you....
Martha: Tish, he's a monster.
Leticia: I know the age thing's pretty freaky, but it works for Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Whats the Doctor doing?
Martha: He's trying to buy us time. Let's not waste it.

The Doctor: So whatdy'a say? One more trip?
Martha: No. Sorry.
The Doctor: What do you mean? I thought you liked it.
Martha: It can't just be one more trip.

Martha: I can't just be a passenger anymore.

Martha: What is it?
The Doctor: Well I said okay.
Martha: Sorry?
The Doctor: Okay.
Martha: Oh, thank you! Thank you!
The Doctor: Well you were never really just a passenger were you?

42

The Doctor: There we go—universal roaming. Never have to worry about signal again.
Martha: No way! This is too mad. You're telling me I can phone anyone, anywhere in space and time on my mobile?
The Doctor: As long as you know the area code.

The Doctor: You're a long way from home, Martha. Half a universe away.
Martha: Yeah. Feels it.

Riley: We only get one chance per door. Get it wrong, the whole system freezes.
Martha: Better not get it wrong then.

The Doctor: Martha, be careful. There may be something else onboard the ship.
Martha: Anytime you want to unnerve me, feel free.
The Doctor: Will do, thanks.

Martha: I can't believe our lives depend on some stupid pub quiz.

Martha to Riley: It was nice... not dying with you.

HUMAN NATURE

Martha: It's Monday, November 14th, 1913. And you're completely human. As human as they come.
John Smith: Hm. That's me. Completely human.

Just think of it. In a few years time boys like that'll be running the country.
Martha: 1913. They might not.

Martha: You had to, didn't you. You had to go and fall in love with a human. And it isn't me.

THE FAMILY OF BLOOD

Martha: Don't just stand there, move! God you're rubbish as a human!

John Smith: You're this Doctor's companion. What exactly do you do for him? Why does he need you?
Martha: Because he's lonely.
John Smith: And that's what you want me to become.

Joan: What if it's them?
Martha: I'm not an expert, but I don't think scarecrows knock.

UTOPIA

Jack: Captain Jack Harkness. And who are you?
Martha: Martha Jones.
Jack: Nice to meet you Martha Jones.
The Doctor: Oh don't start!
Jack: I was only saying hello.
Martha: I don't mind.

Martha: But the thing is, how come you left him behind Doctor?
The Doctor: I was busy.
Martha: Is that what happens though, seriously? You jst get bored of us one day and disappear.
Jack: Not if you're blonde.
Martha: Oh she was blonde! Oh, what a surprise.
The Doctor: You two! We're at the end of the Universe. Right at the edge of knowledge itself. And you're busy blogging!

Martha: Oh my god. You've got a hand. A hand in a jar. A hand. In a jar. In your bag.
The Doctor: But that's my hand!
Jack: I said I had a Doctor detector.
Chantho: Chan- Is this a tradition amongst your people -tho?
Martha: Not on my street. What d'you mean that's your hand? Youve got both your hands. I can see them.
The Doctor: Long story. I lost my hand. Christmas Day. I was in a fight.
Martha: What and you.. grew another hand?
The Doctor: Um. Yeah I did, yeah. waves Hello.

Martha: You grew another hand.
The Doctor: waves Hello again!

THE SOUND OF DRUMS

Martha: I said I knew that voice. When he spoke inside the TARDIS. I've heard that voice hundreds of times. I've seen him. We all have. That was the voice of Harold Saxon.
The Doctor: That's him. He's Prime Minister. The Master is Prime Minister of Britain.

Martha: Dad. Just say "yes" or "no". Is there someone else there?
Clive Jones: YES! Just run! Listen to me: just run!

The Doctor: It still says "the Jones family taken in for questioning." Tell you what though, no mention of Leo.
Martha: He's not as daft as he looks. I'm talking about my brother on the run. How did this happen?

Jack: So Doctor, who is he? How come the ancient society of Time Lords created a psychopath?
Martha: And what is he to you? A colleague or—
The Doctor: A friend, at first.
Martha: I thought you were going to say he was your secret brother or something.
The Doctor: You've been watching too much TV.

Martha: I'm coming back.

LAST OF THE TIME LORDS

Tom Milligan: How long since you were last in Britain?
Martha: 365 days. It's been a long year.

Martha: I've been out there, Tom, in space, before all this happened. And there's a thousand different civilizations all around us with no idea of what's happening here. The Master can build weapons big enough to devastate them all.
Tom: You've been in space?
Martha: Problem with that?
Tom: No, just, wow. Anything else I should know?
Martha: I've met Shakespeare.

Tom: Martha, tell us. What are they?
Martha: They're us. They're humans. The human race from the future.

Martha: Point is, it's not so easy to kill a Time Lord. They can regenerate. Literally bring themselves back to life.
Professor: Ah, the Master's immortal. Wonderful.
Martha: Except for this. Four chemicals slotted into the gun. Inject him, kills a Time Lord permanently.

Tom: Come on, just leave her alone. She's exhausted.
Martha: No, it's okay. They want me to talk. And I will.

Martha: I traveled across the world, from the ruins of New York to the fusion mills of China. Right across the radiation pits of Europe. And everywhere I went, I saw people just like you, living as slaves. But if Martha Jones became a legend, then that's wrong because my name isn't important. There's someone else. The man who sent me out there, the man who told me to walk the Earth. And his name is the Doctor. He has saved your lives so many times and you never even knew he was there. He never stops, he never stays, he never asks to be thanked. But I've seen him, I know him, I love him. And I know what he can do.

The Master: What's so funny?
Martha: The gun.
The Master: What about it?
Martha: The gun in four parts.
The Master: Yes. And I destroyed it.
Martha: The gun in four parts, scattered across the world. I mean c'mon, did you really believe that?

Martha: Don't you wanna know what I was doing, traveling the world?
The Master: Tell me.
Martha: I told a story, that's all. No weapons, just words. I did just what the Doctor said. I went across the continents, all on my own. And everywhere I went I found the people and I told them my story. I told them about the Doctor. And I told them to pass it, to spread the word so that everyone would know about the Doctor.
The Master: Faith and hope. Is that all?
Martha: No. 'Cause I gave them an instruction. Just as the Doctor said. I told them that if everyone thinks of one word, at one specific time—
The Master: Nothing will happen. Is that your weapon? Prayer?
Martha: —right across the world. One word, just one thought, at one moment, but with fifteen satellites.
The Master: What?
Jack: The Archangel Network.
Martha: The telepathic field, binding the whole human race together. With all of them, every single person on Earth, thinking the same thing at the same time. And that word is "Doctor."

The Doctor: Okay.
Martha: I just can't.
The Doctor: Yeah.

The Doctor: Martha Jones, you saved the world.
Martha: Yes I did. I spent a lot of time with you thinking I was second best, but you know what? I am good.

Martha: I told her, I always said to her, time and time again I said, "Get out." So this is me, getting out.

Martha: I'll see you again, Mister.

The Sontaran Strategem

The Doctor: Hello?
Martha: Doctor? It's Martha. And I'm bringing you back to Earth.

The Doctor: Martha Jones.
Martha: Doctor.
The Doctor: You haven't changed a bit.
Martha: Neither have you!

The Doctor: Martha, Donna. Donna, Martha. Please, don't fight. I can't bear fighting.
Donna: You wish. I've heard all about you. He talks about you all the time.
Martha: I dread to think.
Donna: No no, he says nice things. Good things. Nice things. Really good things.
Martha: Oh my god, he's told you everything.
Donna: Didn't take long to get over it, though. Who's the lucky man?
The Doctor: What man? Lucky what?
Donna: She's engaged, you prawn.

Martha: It's all right for you. You can just come and go. But some of us have got to stay behind. So I've got to work from the inside. And by staying inside maybe I stand a chance of making them better.
The Doctor: Yeah? That's more like Martha Jones.

Martha: I can see why he likes you. You are good.
Donna: Super Temp.

Martha: Do they know where you are? Your family? I mean that you're travelling with the Doctor.
Donna: Not really. Although, my grandad sort of waved us off. I didn't have time to explain.
Martha: You just left him behind?
Donna: Yeah.
Martha: I didn't tell my family. Kept it all so secret. It almost destroyed them.
Donna: In what way?
Martha: They ended up in prison. They were tortured. My mum, my dad, my sisiter. It wasn't the Doctor's fault but you need to be careful. 'Caus you know the Doctor—he's wonderful, he's brilliant, but he's like fire. Stand too close and people get burned.

The Poison Sky

The Doctor: I'm stuck. On Earth, like... Like an ordinary person. Like a human. How rubbish is that? Sorry, no offense but come on!
Martha: So what do we do?
The Doctor: Well. I mean it's shielded. They could never detect it. pauses
Martha: What?
The Doctor: I was just wondering, have you phoned your family and Tom?
Martha: No. What for?
The Doctor: The gas. Tell them to stay inside.
Martha: Of course... I will, yeah. But what about Donna? I mean, where's she?
The Doctor: Oh... she's gone home. She's not like you. She's not a soldier. Right! So. Avanti!

The Doctor: Missiles wouldn't even dent that ship. So why are the Sontarans so keen to stop you. Any ideas?
Martha: How should I know?

Martha: You're not going without me.
The Doctor: Wouldn't dream of it.

The Doctor: Am I supposed to be impressed?
Martha: Wish you carried a gun now?
The Doctor: Not at all.
Martha: I've been stopping the nuclear launch all this time.
The Doctor: Doing exactly what I wanted. I needed to stop the missiles just as much as the Sontarans. I'm not having Earth start an interstellar war. You're a triple agent!
Martha: When did you know?
The Doctor: About you? Oh, right from the start. Reduced iris contraction, slight thinning of the hair follicles on the left temple. And frankly you smell. You might as well have worn a t-shirt saying "clone". Although, maybe not in front of Captain Jack. You remember him, don't you? 'Cause you've got all her memories. That's why the Sontarans had to protect her. To keep you inside UNIT. Martha Jones is keeping you alive.

Donna: You know that coat... sort of works.
Martha: I feel like a kid in my dad's clothes.
Donna: Oh well, if you're calling him "dad" you're definitely getting over him.

Martha: What are you doing?
Luke: Something clever.

The Doctor's Daughter

The Doctor: Why did the TARDIS bring us here?
Martha: Oh, I love this bit.
Donna: I thought you wanted to go home.
Martha: I know. But, all the same. It's that feeling you get.
Donna: Like you swallowed a hamster.

Martha: Where did she come from?
The Doctor: From me.
Donna: From you? How? Who is she?
The Doctor: Well she's... well. She's my daughter.
Jenny: Hello Dad.

Martha: Half-fish, half-human, how am I supposed to know? Is that a shoulder? Feels like a shoulder.

Martha: Now then. I'm Dr. Martha Jones. Who the hell are you?

Martha: But I didn't do anything. I think I just started a war.

The Doctor: Two hearts. Two hearts like me. If we wait, we just wait.
Martha: There's no sign, Doctor. There's no regeneration. She's like you, but.... maybe not enough.
The Doctor: No. Too much. That's the truth of it. She was too much like me.

Martha: Goodbye Doctor.
The Doctor: Goodbye Doctor Jones.

The Stolen Earth

New York:
Martha: Suzanne, you okay?
Suzanne: Martha! Look at the sky!
Martha: Why, what is it?
Suzanne: Just look at the sky!

Jack: Martha, get out of there!
Martha: I can't Jack! I've got a job to do!
Jack: They're targeting military bases and you're next on the list.

General Sanchez: Put it on. Fast as you can!
Jack: Martha, I'm telling you, don't use Project Indigo. It's not safe!
General Sanchez: You take your orders from UNIT, Dr. Jones. Not from Torchwood!
Martha: But why me?
General Sanchez: You are our only hope of finding The Doctor. But failing that, if no help is coming, then with the power invested in me by the Unified Intelligence Task Force, I authorize you to take this. The Osterhagen Key.
Martha: I can't do that, sir!
General Sanchez: You know what to do. For the sake of the human race. Dr. Jones, good luck.

Harriet Jones: Good. Now let's see if we can talk to each other. The fourth contact seems to be having some trouble getting through.
Rose: That's me! Harriet, that's me!
Harriet Jones: I'll just boost the signal.
Martha: Hello?
Jack: Ha ha! Martha Jones!
Rose: Who's she? I wanna get through.
Jack: Martha. Where are you?
Martha: I guess Project Indigo was more clever than we thought. One second I was in Manhattan, next second— maybe Indigo tapped into my mind because I ended up in the one place I wanted to be.
Francine: You came home, at the end of the world you came back to me.
But then all of the sudden it's lie, the laptop turned itself on.
Harriet Jones: It did. That was me. Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister.
Martha: Yes, I know who you are.

Journey's End

The Doctor: What's the Osterhagen Key?!
Martha: There's a chain of 25 nuclear warheads. Placed at strategic points beneath the Earth's crust. If I use the key, they detonate and the Earth gets ripped apart.
The Doctor: What?! Who invented that— well, someone called Osterhagen, I suppose. Martha, are you insane?!

Rose: Oh she's good!
Martha: Who's that?
Rose: My name's Rose. Rose Tyler.
Martha: Oh my god, he found you.

The Doctor to Jack: I told you! No teleport. And Martha, get rid of that Osterhagen thing. Eh? Save the world one more time.
Martha: Consider it done.
