(airing in 2009-2010)
Planet of the Dead
Christina (Michelle Ryan): So terribly sorry. That card-paying device thing. That's a lobster card, am I right?
Bus Driver: Oyster card.
Christina: Ah that's the problem you see. I only use my oyster when there's an "R" in the month.
Bus Driver: It's April.
Christina: Diamonds. Genuine. Drive.
Bus Driver: Works for me.
The Doctor: Hello, I'm the Doctor. Happy Easter!
The Doctor: Funny thing is, I don't usually do Easter. I can never find it. It's always at a different time. Although! I remember the original. Between you and me, what really happened was—
The Doctor: Rundium particles. That what I'm looking for. This thing detects them. That little dish should go around. That little dish there.
Christina: Right now a way out would come in pretty handy. Can you detect me one of those?
Carmen: Lou, can you hear them?
Lou: Hear what sweetheart?
Carmen: The voices. So many voices. Calling to us. Calling so far.
The Doctor: Ah! The little dish is going around.
Christina: Fascinating.
The Doctor: And around. Woah—
Angela: Excuse me, do you mind?
The Doctor: Sorry. That was my little dish.
Christina: Can't you turn that thing off?
The Doctor: What's your name?
Christina: Christina.
The Doctor: Christina. Hold on tight. Everyone, hold on!
The Doctor: Call it a hunch but I think we've gone a little bit further than Brigstown.
Carmen: I'm not going out there. They're still calling. All around us. The voices are cryin'.
Lou: What voices, sweetheart?
Carmen: The dead. We're surrounded by the dead.
Christina: Ready for every emeregency.
The Doctor: Me too.
The Doctor: You're called the Doctor?
Christina: Yes I am.
The Doctor: That's not a name, that's a psychological condition.
Barclay: Hold on a minute. I saw you man! You had that thing— that thing. Did you make this happen?
The Doctor: Oh... humans on buses. Always blaming me. Look if you must know I was tracking a hole in the fabric of reality (call it a hobby) but it was a tiny little hole. No danger to anyone.
Christina: Then we have to drive five tons of bus—which is currently buried in the sand—and we've got nothing but our bare hands. Correct?
The Doctor: I'd say nine and a half tons. But the point still stands.
Lou: She's got a gift. Ever since she was a little girl. She can just tell things. We do the lottery twice a week.
Christina: You don't look like millionaires.
Lou: No. But we win ten pounds. Every week, twice a week, ten pounds. Don't tell me that's not a gift.
The Doctor: Never mind losing half the top deck. You know what's worse? Sand.
The Doctor: It'd be easier if you left that backpack behind.
Christina: Where I go it goes.
The Doctor: Backpack with a spade and an ax. Christina, who's going so far away and yet scared by the sound of a siren. Who are you?
Christina: You can talk. Let's just say we're two equal mysteries.
The Doctor: We make quite a couple.
Christina: We don't make any sort of couple, thank you very much. C'mon then, tell me. If Carmen's right—that wormhole's not an accident—then what is it? Has someone done this on purpose.
The Doctor: I don't know. But every single instinct of mine is telling me to get off this planet right now.
Christina: Do you think we can?
The Doctor: I live in hope.
Christina: That must be nice.
Christina: It's Christina DeSouza. To be precise, Lady Christina DeSouza.
The Doctor: Oh. That's handy. 'Cause I'm a Lord.
Christina: Seriously? Lord of where?
The Doctor: It's quite a big estate.
The Doctor: Bit of a hush, thank you. Gotta remember the number. Very important number.
Hello, Pizza Geronimo.
The Doctor: Then again.
Captain Magambo: Captain Arissa Magambo, sir. Might I say sir. It's an honor. She salutes
The Doctor: Did you just salute?
Captain Magambo: No.
It's the Doctor.
Dr. Malcolm Taylor: No, I'm alright now, thanks. It's just a bit of a sore throat. I gotta be honest, a cup of tea might be nice.
Dr. Malcolm Taylor: Cor, blimey! I can't believe I'm actually speaking to you. I mean I've read all the files.
The Doctor: Really? What was your favorite? Giant robot? No no! Let's sort out that wormole.
Dr. Malcolm Taylor: I'm registering an oscillation of 15 Malcolms per second.
The Doctor: Fifteen what?
Dr. Malcolm Taylor: Fifteen Malcolms. It's my own little term.
The Doctor: You named a unit of measure after yourself?
Dr. Malcolm Taylor: Well it didn't do Mr. Watt any harm. Furthermore, one hundred Malcolms equals a Bernard.
The Doctor: Who's that, your dad?
Dr. Malcolm Taylor: Don't be ridiculous. That's Quatermass.
The Doctor: That's "wait". I shout "wait", people usually listen. That's begging for mercy.
Christina: That means "move".
The Doctor: Oo! You're learning.
The Doctor: Since I've met you Christina we've been through all the extremes.
Christina: That's how I like things. Extreme.
Christina: What are they doing?
The Doctor: They believe me.
Christina: What, it's as simple as that?
The Doctor: I've got a very honest face. And the translator says I'm telling the truth. Plus the face.
Christina: That lordship of yours. Lord of where, exactly.
The Doctor: Of Time. I come from a race of people called Time Lords.
Christina: You're an alien.
The Doctor: Yeah... You don't have to kiss me either.
Christina: You look human.
The Doctor: You look Time Lord.
The Doctor: Incredible. They swarm out the wormhole, strip the planet bare, and then move on to the next world. To start the life cycle again.
Christina: So... they make the wormholes?
The Doctor: They must do.
Christina: But how? They don't exactly look like techicians. And if the wormhole belongs to them why are they a hundred miles away?
The Doctor: Because they need to be? Oh that's bonkers.
Christina: How does the crystal drive the bus?
The Doctor: In a... super clever outer-spacey way.
Christina: The aristocracy survives for a reason. We're ready for anything.
The Doctor: Oh the places I've been. WWI. The creation of the universe. The end of the universe. The war between China and Japan. And... the court of King Athelstan in 924 AD. I don't remember you being there.
The Doctor: I need something non-corrosive. Something malleable. Something ductile. Something... gold.
Christina: Oh no you don't.
The Doctor: Christina, what is it worth now?
Barclay: Hey hey, use this.
The Doctor: I said gold.
Barclay: It is gold.
The Doctor: Oh they saw you coming.
Christina: It's over a thousand years old. Worth 18 million pounds. Promise me you'll be careful.
The Doctor: I promise. gingerly lifts the cup from his hands and proceeds to bang the crap out of it
Christina: I hate you.
Carmen: Doctor. You take care now.
The Doctor: You too. Chops and gravy. Lovely.
Carmen: No. You be careful. Because your song is ending sir.
The Doctor: What d'you mean?
Carmen: It is returning. It is returning through the dark. And then Doctor— Oh but then... He will knock four times.
DI McMillan: I'm charging you too. Aiding and abetting.
The Doctor: Yes. I'll just step inside this police box and arrest myself.
Christina: We could have been so good together.
The Doctor: Christina! We were.
The Waters of Mars
Captain Adelaide Brooke: State your name, rank and intention.
The Doctor: The Doctor. Doctor. Fun.
Tarak Ital: It's a man. Man on mars. How?
Steffi Erhlich: He was wearing this thing. I have never seen anything like it.
What did MIssion Control say?
Steffi Erhlich: They're out of range for 10 hours with the solar flares.
Captain Brooke: You can cut the chat everyone.
The Doctor: Actually "chat" is second on my list. The first being "gun". Pointed at my head. Which then puts my head second and chat third I think. Gun head chat. Yeah. I hate lists. But you could hurt someone with that thing. Just, put it done.
Captain Brooke: Oh you'd like that.
The Doctor: Could you find me someone who wouldn't?
Edward Gold: Was it the Branson Inheritance Fund? They've been talking about a Mars shot for years.
The Doctor: Right. Yes. You've got me. So, I'm the Doctor. And you are?
Captain Brooke: Oh come on, we're the first off-world colonists in history. Everyone on planet Earth knows who we are.
The Doctor: You're the first. The very first humans on Mars. Then this is Bowie Base One.
Captain Brooke: —Bowie Base One.
The Doctor: Number one. Founded July 1, 2058. Established Bowie Base One in the Gusev Crater.
Captain Brooke: As I said, Doctor. Everyone knows our names.
The Doctor: Oh. They'll never forget them.
Gold: Maggie, if you want to meet the only new human bring that you're going to see in the next five years better come take a look. A strange noise from the intercom
Brooke: What was that?
The Doctor: Oh, I really should go....
The Doctor: I hate robots. Did I say?
Groom: Yeah, and he's not too fond of you. What's wrong with robots?
The Doctor: It's not the robots, it's the people. Dressing them up and giving them silly voices. Like you're reducing them.
Groom: Yeah. Friend of mine, she made her domestic robot look like a dog.
The Doctor: Ah well, dogs... that's different.
The Doctor using his sonic screwdriver to illuminate the dome: There you go.
Brooke: What's that device?
The Doctor: Screwdriver.
Brooke: You the doctor or the janitor?
Brooke: Keep surveillance until I get back. And close down all water supplies. All pipes and outlets. Don't consume anything. Have you got that everyone? That's an order. Don't drink the water. Don't even touch it. Not one drop.
The Doctor: Human beings are 60 percent water so that makes them the perfect host.
Brooke: What for?
The Doctor: I dunno. And I never will. Because I've got to go. Whatever's started here, I can't see it to the end. I can't.
Brooke: We're safe. It's hermetically sealed. They can't get in.
The Doctor: Water is patient, Adelaide. Water just waits. Wears down the cliff tops, the mountains. The whole of the world. Water always wins.
The Doctor: Blimey, it's a distance. You could do with bikes in this place.
Brooke: Every pound in weight equals three tons of fuel.
The Doctor: Yeah I know. But... bikes!
The Doctor: This thing, whatever it is, doesn't just hide in water. It creates water. to Maggie Tell me what you want.
Yuri Kerenski: She was looking at the screen. At Earth. She wants Earth. A world full of water.
Gold: I'm sorry, but it's an unknown infection and it's spreading. That demands action procedure one.
Brooke: You think I
don't know that?
Gold: I think you need reminding.
Brooke: Yeah.
Gold: Well at least I'm good for something.
Brooke: Now and again.
Gold: That's almost a compliment. Things must be serious.
The Doctor: Sorry! But action one, that means evacuation, yeah?
Brooke: We're going home.
The Doctor: They tell legends of Mars, long ago. A fine and noble race built an empire out of snow. The Ice Warriors.
Brooke: I haven't got time for stories.
The Doctor: Perhaps they found something down there. Used their might and their wisdom to freeze it.
Brooke: You don't look like a coward. But all you've wanted to do is leave. You know so much about us.
The Doctor: Well, you're famous.
Brooke: It's like you know more.
The Doctor: This moment—this precise moment in time—it's like.... I mean it's only a theory, what do I know.
But. I think certain moments in time are fixed. Tiny, precious moments. Everything else is in flux, but those certain moments, they have to stand. This base on Mars, with you Adelaide Brooke, this is one vital moment. What happens here must always happen.
Brooke: Which is what?
The Doctor: I don't know. I think something wonderful happens. Something that started 50 years ago. Isn't that right?
Brooke: I've never told anyone that.
The Doctor: You told your daughter. And maybe one day she tells the story to her daughter. The day the Earth was stolen and moved across the universe. And you...
Brooke: I saw the Daleks. We looked up, the sky had changed. Everyone was running and screaming. And my father took hold of me. I never saw him again. Now my mother. They were never found. But out on the streets there was panic. And burning. I went to the window. And there, in the sky, I saw it, Doctor. And it saw me. It stared at me. It looked right into me. And then... it simply went away. I knew that night, I knew I would follow it.
The Doctor: But not for revenge.
Brooke: What would be the point of that?
The Doctor: That's what makes you remarkable.
The Doctor: Imagine it, Adelaide, if you began a journey that takes the human race all the way out to the stars. It begins with you. And then your granddaughter, you inspire her. So that in thirty years Susie Fontana Brooke is the pilot of the first lightspeed ship to Proxima Centauri. And then everywhere. With her children, and her children's children, forging the way. To the Dragon Star, the Celestial Belt of the Winter Queen. The map of the Water Snake Wormholes. One day a Brooke will even fall in love with a Tandonian prince. And that's the start of a whole new species. And everything starts with you, Adelaide. From fifty years ago to right here. Today.
Brooke: Who are you? Why are you telling me this, Doctor? Why tell me?
The Doctor: As consolation.
Brooke: You were right, Doctor.
The Doctor: What about?
Brooke: Bikes!
Brooke: Tell me! I could ramp up the pressure in that airlock and crush you.
The Doctor: Except you won't. You could have shot Andy Stone but you didn't. I loved you for that. Imagine... Imagine you knew something... Imagine you found yourself somewhere. I don;t know, Pompeii. Imagine you were in Pompeii.
Brooke: What the hell's that got to do with it?
The Doctor: And you try to save them. But in doing so you make it happen. Anything I do just makes it happen.
Brooke: Help me. Why won't you help, Doctor, if you know all of this? Why can't you change it?
The Doctor: I can't.
Brooke: Why can't you find a way?
The Doctor: I'm sorry but I can't. Sometimes I can. Sometimes I do. Most times I can save someone. Or anyone. But not you. You wondered all your life why that Dalek spared you. I think it knew. Your death is fixed in time forever. And that's right.
Brooke: You'll die here too. What's going to save you?
The Doctor: Captain Adelaide Brooke.
Brooke: Damn you.
Gold: Captain. The shuttle is down.
Brooke: What the hell do you mean?
Gold: Compromised. It was Maggie.
Brooke: Get out of there!
Gold: Too late. They want this ship to get to Earth. Got no choice. Hated it Adelaide! This bloody job. Never gave me a chance. You never could forgive me. hits the destruct button See you later.
The Doctor: Mia! Take this sealant, fix that beam. Yuri! Open the emergency oxygen. Adelaide! Don't just sit there. That's better! The dome's still got integrity. It's ten feet of steel combination made in Liverpool. Magnificent workmanship!
Brooke: It can't be stopped. Don't die with us.
The Doctor: Isn't anyone going to thank me? He's lost his signal. Doesn't know where he is.
Brooke: That's my house.
The Doctor: Don't you get it? This is the 21st of November, 2059. Same day. On Earth. And it's snowing! I love snow.
Mia Bennett : What is that thing? It's bigger— I mean, it's bigger on the inside. Who the hell are you?
Brooke: Look after her.
Kerenski: Yes ma'am.
Brooke: You saved us.
The Doctor: Just think about it. Your daughter and your daughters' daughter. You can see them again. Family reunion.
Brooke: But I'm supposed to be dead.
The Doctor: Not anymore.
Brooke: But. Susie. My granddaughter. Wasn't she supposed to become... Might never exist now.
The Doctor: Nah! Captain Adelaide can inspire her face-to-face. Different details but the story's the same.
Brooke: But you can't know that! And if my family changes the whole of history could change. The future of the human race. No one should have that much power.
The Doctor: Tough.
Brooke: You should have left us there.
The Doctor: Adelaide I've done this sort of thing before. In small ways, saved some little people. But never someone as important as you. Oh, I'm good.
Brooke: Little people?! What, like Mia and Yuri? Who decides they're so unimportant? You?
The Doctor: For a long time I thought I was just a survivor, but I'm not. I'm the winner. That's who I am. The Time Lord Victorious.
Brooke: And there's no one to stop you.
The Doctor: No.
Brooke: This is wrong, Doctor. I don't care who you are. The Time Lord Victorious is wrong.
The Doctor: That's for me to decide. Now you better get home. Aw! It's all locked up. You've been away. Still, that's easy. All yours.
Brooke: Is there nothing you can't do?
The Doctor: Not anymore.
The Doctor: I've gone too far. Is this it? My death? Is it time?
The End of Time (part Two)
President of the Time Lords: What news of the Doctor?
Time Lord: Disappeared, my Lord President.
Time Lord: But he still possesses the Moment. And we know he'll use it. To destroy Daleks and Time Lords alike.
Time Lord: The Visionary confirms it.
The Visionary: Ending. Burning. Falling. All of it falling. The black. And pitch. And screaming fire. Soul burning.
Time Lord: All of her prophecies say the same. That this is the last day of the Time War. That Gallifrey falls and that we die. Today.
The Visionary: Ending ending ending ending.
The Partisan: Perhaps it's time. This is only the furthest edge of the Time War. But at its heart millions die every second. Lost in bloodlust and insanity. With Time itself resurrecting them to find new ways of dying. Over and over again. A travesty of life. Isn't it better to end it at last.
Lord President: Thank you for your opinion.
I will not die! Do you hear me? A billion years of Time Lord history riding on our backs. I will not let this perish. I Will. Not.
Time Lord: There is... there is one part of the prophecy, my Lord. Forgive me. I'm sorry. It's rather difficult to decipher, but it talks of two survivors. Beyond the Final Day. Two children of Gallifrey.
President of the Time Lords: Does it name them?
Time Lord: It foresees them locked in their final confrontation. The Enmity of Ages which would suggest—
President of the Time Lords: The Doctor! And The Master.
Time Lord: One word keeps being repeated, my Lord. One constant word. Earth.
The Visionary: Earth earth earth earth
Time Lord: Planet Earth. Indigenous species: the human race.
President of the Time Lords: Hm. Maybe that's where the answer lies. Our salvation. On Earth.
The Master: Enough soldiers and weapons to turn this planet into a warship. Nothing to say, Doctor? Hm? What's that? Pardon? Sorry.
Wilfred: You let him go, you swine.
The Master: Your dad's still kicking up a fuss.
Wilfred: Yeah? Well I'd be proud if I was.
The Master: Hush now. Listen to your Master. Wilf's phone starts ringing. That's a mobile.
Wilfred: Yeah it's mine. Let me turn it off—
The Master: No no no. I don't think you understand. Everybody on this planet is me. And I'm not phoning you so who the hell is that?
Wilfred: It's nobody. It's nothing, I'm telling you. It's probably one of them ringback calls.
The Master: Hm. finds the pistol Look at this. Good man! Donna. Who's Donna?
Wilfred: She's no one. Just leave it!
Donna: Gramps, don't hang up. You've gotta help me. I ran out. Everyone was changing.
The Master: Who is she? Why didn't she change?
Wilfred: Well it was this thing the Doctor did.
He did it to her—the Meta Crisis.
The Master: Ugh. He loves playing with Earth Girls. Find her! Trace the call.
Donna: I can see those things again. Those creatures. Why can I see a giant wasp?!
Wilfred: Don't think about that Donna my love. Don't!
Donna: It hurts! My head. It keeps getting hotter. And hotter and hotter and hotter...
The Doctor: That's better. Hello! But really. D'you think I'd leave my best friend without a defense mechanism?
The Doctor: A mind like that, we could travel the stars. It would be my honor. 'Cause you don't need to own the universe. Just see it. To have the privilege of seeing the whole of time and space. That's ownership enough.
The Master: Would it stop then? The noise in my head?
The Doctor: I can help.
The Master: Don't know what I'd be without that noise.
The Doctor: Wonder what I'd be without you.
The Master: Yeah.
The Master: It began on Gallifrey. As children. Not that you'd call it childhood. More a life of duty. Eight years old. I was taken for initiation. To stare into the untempered schism.
Wilfred: What does that mean?
The Doctor: It's a gap in the fabric of reality. You can see into the time vortex itself. And it hurts.
The Master: Took me there. In the dark. I looked into time, old man. And I heard it. Calling to me. Drums. The never-ending drums.
The Doctor: The gate wasn't enough. You're still dying.
The Master: This body was born out of death. All it can do is die. What did you say to me? Back in the wasteland. You said "The End of Time".
The Doctor: I said something is returning. I was shown a prophecy. That's why I need your help.
The Master: What if I'm part of it? Don't you see? The drum beat is calling from so far away. From the end of time itself. And now it's been amplified six billion times. Triangulate all those signals, I could find its source! Look Doctor! That's what your prophecy was! Me!
The Master: Where's the TARDIS?
The Doctor: Just stop. Just think.
The Master: Kill him! I need that technology, Doctor. Tell me where it is or the old man is dead.
Wilfred: Don't tell him!
The Master: I'll kill him right now!
The Doctor: Actually the most impressive thing about you is that after all this time you're still bone dead stupid.
The Master: Take aim.
The Doctor: Six billion pairs of eyes and you still can't see the obvious, can you?
The Master: I what?
The Doctor: That guard is one inch too tall.
Rossiter: Oh my god I hit him! I've never hit anyone in my life.
The Doctor: Well come on! We need to get out of here.
Wilfred: God bless the cactuses.
The Doctor: That's cacti.
Rossiter: That's racist!
Addams: Come on! We've got to get out.
Rossiter: There's too many buckles and straps.
Addams: Just... wheel him!
The Doctor: No no no! Get me out. NO! Don't don't!
Rossiter: Which way?
Addams: This way!
The Doctor: No no no, the other way. I've got a TARDIS!
Addams: I know what I'm doing.
The Doctor: Just listen to me! Not the stairs. Not the stairs! Worst. Rescue. Ever!
The Doctor: We've gotta close it down!
Rossiter: Not a chance, mate. We're going home.
Addams: We're just a salvage team. Local politics got nothing to do with us. Not unless it's a carnival. The sooner we get back to Vinvocci space the better.
The Doctor: We're not leaving. He fires on the controls and kills the power
Wilfred: I know you. I bet you've got a plan, haven't you? C'mon. You've always got a trick up your sleeve. C'mon. A nice bit o' the Doctor flim flam sorta thing, eh? The Doctor just stares at him. Oh blimey.
The Chancellor: The signal has been sent. A simple task of four beats transmitted back through time. And implanted in the Master's mind as a child.
Lord President: Then we have a link to where The Master is right now.
The Chancellor: But we're still trapped inside the Time Lock, sir. The link is nothing more than a
thought—an idea.
Lord President: Then we need something to make the contact physical. Something... so simple.
The Visionary: Shining. Shining bright and cold. The tiny tiny star falling falling. Burning burning...
Wilfred: Doctor? Doctor? Hello. Anyone? Anyone! to himself Oh I think I'm lost.
Woman: And yet you are found. Events are closing. The day is almost upon us. Tell me, old soldier, did you take arms?
Wilfred: I brought this. But what am I supposed to do?
Woman: This is The Doctor's final battle. The end of his life. He must stand at arms. Or lose himself and all this world. To the end of time.
Wilfred: He never carries guns.
Who are you?
Woman: I was lost. So very long ago.
Wilfred: I've always dreamt of a view like that. laughing An astronaut. It's dawn over England. Look! A brand new day. My wife's buried down there. I might never visit her again. Do you think he changed them? In their graves?
The Doctor: I'm sorry.
Wilfred: Not your fault. Oh! 1948. I was over there. End of the Mandate in Palestine. Private Mott. Skinny little idiot I was. Stood on this rooftop in the middle of the skirmish. Like a blizzard, all them bullets in the air. The world gone mad. Yeah, you don't want to listen to an old man's tales, do you.
The Doctor: I'm older than you.
Wilfred: Get away.
The Doctor: I'm 906.
Wilfred: Oh really though?
The Doctor: Yeah.
Wilfred: 900 years. We must look like insects to you.
The Doctor: You look like giants.
Wilfred: I want you to have this. I've kept it all this time and I thought— I mean, if you take it you could....
The Doctor: You had that gun in the mansion. You could have shot The master there and then.
Wilfred: Too scared, I suppose.
The Doctor: I'd be proud. If you were my dad.
Wilfred: Don't start. You said you were told, he will knock four times and then you die. Well that's it then. The Master. That noise, in his head. The Master is going to kill you.
The Doctor: Yeah.
Wilfred: Kill him first.
The Doctor: That's how The Master started. It's not like I'm an innocent. I've taken lives. I got worse—I got clever. Manipulated people into taking their own. Sometimes I think the Time Lord lives too long. I can't. I just can't.
Wilfred: If The Master dies, what happens to all the people?
The Doctor: I don't know.
Wilfred: Doctor. What happens?
The Doctor: The template snaps.
Wilfred: They go back to being human. They're alive and human. So don't you dare, sir. Don't you dare put him before them. Now you take this. That's an order, Doctor. Take the gun. You take the gun and save your life! And... please don't die— you're the most wonderful man and I don't want you to die...
The Doctor: Never.
The Master: A star fell from the sky. Don't you want to know where from? Because now it makes sense, Doctor.
Rossiter: It's an open broadcast.
Addams: DON'T reply. They'll know where we are.
The Master: All of my life. My destiny. The star is a diamond. The diamond is a white point star. I have worked all night dissecting my gift. Now the star is mine. I can increase the signal. Use it as a life line. Do you get it now? Do you see? Keep watching, Doctor. This should be spectacular. Over and out.
Lord President: Now the High Council of Time Lords must vote. Whether we die here today or return to the waking world and complete the ultimate sanction. For this is the hour when either Gallifrey falls. Or Gallifrey rises!
Wilfred: But you said your people were dead. Past tense.
The Doctor: Inside the Time War. And the whole war was time-locked. That sealed the time bubble. It's not a bubble. Just think of a bubble. Nothing can get in or out of the time lock. You see, nothing can get in or out except something that was already there.
Wilfred: The signal! Since he was a kid!
The Doctor: They can follow the signal. They can escape before they die.
Wilfred: Well there'll be a big reunion. We'll have a party.
The Doctor: There will be no party.
Wilfred: But I've heard you talk about your people— how they're wonderful.
The Doctor: That's how I choose to remember them. The Time Lords of old. But then they went to war. An endless war. And it changed them. Right to the core. You've seen my enemies, Wilf. The Time Lords are more dangerous than any of them.
Addams: Time Lords? What Lords? Anyone want to explain?
The Doctor: Right! Yes! You! This is a salvage ship, yes. You've been trawling the asteroid fields for junk.
Addams: Yeah, what about it?
The Doctor: So you've got asteroid lasers!
Rossiter: Yeah, but they're all frozen.
The Doctor: Consider them unfrozen. You there! What's your name— I'm going to need you on navigation. And you there! Get in the laser pod! Wilfred—
Wilfred: Yes sir.
The Doctor: Laser number two. The old soldier's got one more battle.
Rossiter: This ship can't move. It's dead.
The Doctor: Fixed the heating.
Addams: But now they can see us!
The Doctor: Oh yes!
Addams: This is my ship and you're not moving it. Step away from the wheel!
The Doctor: There's an old Earth saying, Captain. A phrase of great power
and wisdom and consolation to the soul in times of need.
Addams: What's that then?
The Doctor: Allons y!
The Master: He's moving, sir.
The Master: Get a fix on him.
The Master: He's moving very fast.
Lord President: The vote is taken. Only two stand against. And will stand as monument to their shame. Like the Weeping Angels of old.
Addams: We've locked onto the house. We are going to stop though. Doctor? We are going to stop.
Lord President: My Lord Doctor. Lord Master. We are gathered for the end.
Lord President: The approach begins!
The approach of what?
The Doctor: "Something is returning". Don't you ever listen? That was the prophecy. Not some "one", some "thing".
The Master: What is it?
The Doctor: They're not just bringing back the species. It's Gallifrey! Right here. Right now.
The Master: But this is fantastic, isn't it? The Time Lords restored.
The Doctor: You weren't there. In the final days of the war. You never saw what was born. But if the time lock's broken then everything is coming through. Not just the Daleks, but the Star of Degradations. The Horde of Travesties. The Nightmare Child. The Could-Have-Been King with his army of Meanwhile's and Neverwere's. The war turned into hell! And that's what you opened. Right above the Earth. Hell is descending.
The Master: My kind of world.
The Doctor: Just listen! 'Cause even the Time Lords can't survive that.
Lord President: We will initiate the Final Sanction. The end of time will come. At my hand. The rupture will continue until it rips the time vortex apart.
The Master: That's suicide.
Lord President: We will ascend! To become creatures of consciousness alone. Free of these bodies. Free of time. And the cause and effect creation itself ceases to be.
The Doctor: See now. That's what they were planning. In the final days of the war. I had to stop them.
The Master: Then... take me with you, Lord President. Let me ascend into glory!
Lord President: You are diseased. Be it the disease of our own making. No more.
Lord President: Choose your enemy well. We are many. The Master is but one.
The Master: But he's the president. Kill him and Gallifrey could be yours. He's to blame. Not me! Oh... the link is inside my head. Kill me, the link gets broken, they go back. You never would, you coward. Go on then. Do it! Exactly! It's not just me, it's him! Kill him!
Lord President: The final act of your life is murder. But which one of us.
The Doctor: The link is broken. Back into the time war, []. Back into hell!
The Visionary: Gallifrey falling
Lord President: You die with me, Doctor!
The Doctor: I know.
The Master: Out of the way. You did this to me! All of my life! You made me! One! Two! Three! Four!
The Doctor: I'm alive. I'm still alive. Four knocks.
Wilfred: They're gone then? Good-o. If you could, let me out.
The Doctor: Yeah.
Wilfred: This thing seems to be making a bit of a noise.
The Doctor: The Master left the nuclear bomb running. Gone into overload.
Wilfred: That's bad is it?
The Doctor: No. 'Cause all the excess radiation gets vented inside there. Vinvocci glass contains it. All five hundred thousand rads about to flood that thing.
Wilfred: Well you better let me out then.
The Doctor: Except it's gone critical. Touch one control and it floods. Even this would set it off.
Wilfred: I'm sorry. Just leave me.
The Doctor: Okay, right them. I will. 'Cause you had to go in there, didn't you? You had to go and get stuck! Oh yes! 'Cause that's who you are, Wilfred.
You were always this... waiting for me and all this time.
Wilfred: No really. Just leave me. I'm an old man, Doctor. I've had my time.
The Doctor: Well exactly! Look at you. Not remotely important! But me? I could do so much more! So much more! But this is what I get. My reward. Well it's not fair! silence. I've lived too long.
Wilfred: Oh no please don't. No no! Please don't! Please!
The Doctor: Wilfred. It's my honor. Better be quick! 3-2-1 enters the chamber
Wilfred: Hello.
The Doctor: Hi.
Wilfred: Still with us.
The Doctor: System's dead. I've absorbed it all. Whole thing's kaput. Oh. Now it opens.
Wilfred: There we are then. Safe and sound. Mind you, you're in a hell of a state. You've got some battle scars there. Your— your face. How did you do that?
The Doctor: It's started.
Donna: What happened? Did I miss something? Again!
The Doctor: Oo. She's smiling. As if today wasn't bad enough. Anyway. Don't go thinking this is goodbye Wilf. I'll see you again. One more time.
Wilfred: What do you mean? When's that?
The Doctor: Just. Keep looking. I'll be there.
Wilfred: Where are you going?
The Doctor: To get my reward.
Mickey and Martha
Mickey: I told you to stay behind.
Martha: You looked like you needed help. Besides, you're the one that persuaded me to go freelance.
Mickey: Yeah, but— we're being fired at by a Sontoran. In a dump []And this is no place for a married woman.
Martha: Well then. You shouldn't have married me.
The Doctor takes out a nearby Sontoran.
Mickey: Go in here, head down to the factory floor, and down past that corridor. Then we're on our way. Martha sees the Doctor.
Martha: Mickey. Mickey.
Sarah Jane and Luke
Luke: That was the maddest Christmas ever. Mom still doesn't know what happened. She got Mr. Smith to put out this story saying that wifi went mad all across the world giving everyone hallucinations. I mean how else are you going explain everyone with a different face.
The Doctor grabs him just as a car is about to hit him
Luke: It's you. Your— Mum! Mum!
Sarah Jane: What? What is it?
Luke: It's him. It's the Doctor.
Captain Jack (and Alonzo)
Bartender handing a note to Jack: From the man over there. Reads: His name is Alonzo.
Jack sees the Doctor and they salute
Jack: So Alonzo. Goin' my way?
Alonzo: How do you know my name?
Jack: I'm kind of psychic.
Alonzo: Really? Know
what I'm thinking right now?
Jack: Oh yeah.
Verity Newman
Verity: No, it's not just a story, no. Every word of it's true. I found my great grandmother's diary in a loft. She was a nurse in 1913. She fell in love with this man, John Smith. except he was a visitor. From another world. She fell in love with a man from the stars. And she wrote it all down. Signing the next book Who's it for?
The Doctor: The Doctor.
Verity: To Doctor. Funny. That's the name he used.
The Doctor: Was she happy? At the end?
Verity: Yes. Yes she was. Were you?
Donna
Nerys: You made me wear peach.
Donna: That's cos you are a peach. Fair skin, stone inside. Going off.
Wilfred: Here you are. Same old face. Didn't I tell you, you'd be alright. Oh! They've arrested Mr. Naismith. It was on the news. "Crimes undisclosed". And his daughter— both of them, locked up. But I keep thinking, Doctor. There's one thing you never told me. That woman. Who was she?
The Doctor: I just wanted to give you this. Wedding present. Thing is, I never
carry money so I just popped back in time. Borrowed a quid off a really lovely man. Jeffrey Noble, his name was. "Have it", he says. "Have that on me."
And Rose...
Rose: You alright, mate?
The Doctor: Yeah.
Rose: Too much to drink?
The Doctor: Something like that.
Rose: Maybe it's time you went home.
The Doctor: Yeah.
Rose: Anyway. Happy New Year.
The Doctor: And you. What year is this?

Rose: Yeah? she nods and smiles See ya.
Ood Sigma: We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.
