The Doctor: Very good point. Brilliant, in fact. What's your name?
Martha: Martha.
The Doctor: Martha what?
Martha: Jones.
Martha: Well I'm not. As far as I'm concerned you better earn that title.

The Doctor: I'm Sir Doctor of Tardis and this is my companion Martha Jones.
Shakespeare: Interesting, that bit of paper. It's blank.
Martha: And why are you telling them that?

Martha: Well what is it then?
The Doctor: Witchcraft.
Martha: Woah, nelly! I know for a fact you have wife in country.
Shakespeare: But Martha, this is town.
Martha: What did you do?

Martha: But there's no such thing as magic.
The Doctor: Well,... there's a science to it...
The Doctor: Oh, how to explain the machanics of temporal time flux. I know! Back to the Future.
Martha: The movie, Back to the Future?
The Doctor: No, the novelization of the movie.
Gridlock
The Doctor: A bit of rain never hurt anyone!

The Doctor: I think they're selling moods.

The Face of Boe: Doctor.
The Doctor: The Face of Boe!
The Face of Boe: I knew you would come.
The Doctor: So the two of you stayed here, on your own for all these years.
Novis Hame: We had no choice.
The Doctor: Yes, you did.
Martha: You've got your faith. You've got your songs and your hymns. And I've got the Doctor.
The Face of Boe: Doctor—
The Doctor: Yeah, hold on. Not now.
The Face of Boe: I give you my last.
The Doctor: Hame, look after him! Don't you go dying on me, you big Face.
The Doctor: He's the one that saved you, not me.
Novis Hame: My Lord gave his life to save the city. And now he's dying.
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 Face of Boe: I have seen so much. Perhaps too much. I am the last of my kind. As you are the last of yours, Doctor.
The Doctor: Don't go.
The Face of Boe: I must. But know this, Time Lord: You Are Not Alone.
The Doctor: Just what every city needs—cats in charge.
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
Solomon: We got stockbrokers, we got a lawyer. But you're the first doctor. Place gets classier by the day.
The Doctor: Right then. Martha, Frank, Solomon.
What?
The Doctor: Em... basically... Run!
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 should have realized, he's in to musical theatre. What a waste. Still you gotta live in hope.
Martha: I'm so glad to see you.
The Doctor: Yeah well you can kiss me later. You too Frank, if you want.
Evolution of the Daleks
The Doctor: Time was, four Daleks could have conquered the world. But instead you're skulking away, hidden in the dark, experimenting...
Martha: No! You can't go.
The Doctor: I've gotta go. The Dalek's just changed their minds. Daleks never change their minds.
Martha: Doctor!
The Doctor: First floor perfumerie.
Tallulah to Lazlo: I never thought I'd see you 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: Doctor, can't you do somethin'?
The Doctor: Oh Tallulah with three Ls and an H. Just you watch me.
Martha: Do you reckon it's gonna work, those two?
The Doctor: I don't know. Anywhere else in the Universe I might worry about them, but New York, that's what this city's good at. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses. And maybe the odd pig slave-Dalek mutant hybrid too.
Martha: The pig and the showgirl.
The Lazarus Project
Professor Lazarus: That's an interesting perfume. What's it called?
Leticia: Soap.
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.
The Doctor: And that's two impossible things we've seen so far tonight. Don't you love it when that happens?
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.
The Doctor: Until Lazarus reopened it...
Martha: It's like Pandora's box?
The Doctor: Exactly. Nice shoes by the way.
Martha: I thought we were going to go through the blender there.
The Doctor: Really shouldn't take that long to reverse the polarirty. I must be out of practice.
The Doctor: Ah Mrs. Jones. We still haven't finished our chat.
Mrs. Jones: Keep away from my daughter!
Martha: Mum what are you doing?
The Doctor: Always the mothers, all the time.
The Doctor: The Blitz.
Lazarus: You read about it?
The Doctor: I was there.
Lazarus: You're too young.
The Doctor: So're you.
Lazarus: I'm more now than just an ordinary human.
The Doctor: There's no such thing as an ordinary human.
The Doctor: If you hang around Beethoven you're bound to pick a few things up.
Martha: Especially about playing loud.
The Doctor: Sorry?
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: 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: A happy prime is a number that's both happy and prime. Now type it in! to Cath I don't know, talk about dumbing down. Don't they teach recreational mathematics anymore?
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.
The Doctor distracted by the Beatles question: Now where was I? Here comes the sun? No. Resources!
Mrs. Jones: What is this, pub quiz?
Martha: Yeah, pub quiz.
Mrs. Jones: Using your mobile is cheating.
Riley: The wonderful world of space travel. The prettier it looks, the more likely it is to kill you.
The Doctor: Humans! You grab whatever's nearest and bleed it dry. You should have scanned!
Cath: It takes too long. We'd be caught. Fusion scoops are illegal.
Martha: What's your favorite color?
Riley: You alright?
Martha: It's the question!
Riley: Purple. Or did I say orange?
Martha: C'mon!
Blink
Beware the weeping angels. Oh, and duck. No really duck! Sally Sparrow. DUCK, NOW! Love from The Doctor 1969
Kathy: What are you doing? It could be a burglar.
Sally: A burglar who rings the doorbell?
Sally: But what does he do?
Larry: Just sits there, making random remarks. It's like we're hearing half the conversation. Me and the guys are always trying to work out the other half.
Sally: When you say you and the guys you mean the internet, don't you?
Larry: How'd you know?
Sally: Spooky, isn't it?
Billy: And that's Sally...
Sally: Sally Shipton. Sparrow! Sally Sparrow. Okay, going now. Don't look at me.
The Doctor: Fascinating race, the weeping angels. The only psychopaths in the Universe to kill you nicely. No muss, no fuss. They just zap you into the past and let you live to death.
The Doctor: This is my Timey-Wimey detector. Goes ding when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at thirty paces. Whether you want it to or not, actually. I've learned to atay away from hens. It's not pretty when they blow.
Billy: He told me all those years ago that we'll only meet again—this one time—on the night I die.
Sally: Oh Billy.
Billy: It's kept me going. I'm an old sick man, but I've had something to look forward to. Life is long and you are hot.
Sally: How can you know what I'm going to say?
The Doctor: Look to your left.
Larry: What does he mean by "look to your left"? I've written tons about that on the forum. I think it's a political statement.
Sally: He means you.
Larry: “The angels have the phonebox”. That's my favorite. I've got that on a t-shirt.
The Doctor on the DVD: Your life could depend on this. Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink! Good luck.
Sally: Remember what he said: don't blink.
Larry: Who blinks? I'm too scared to blink.
Sally: Look at them! Quick! Look at them!
Larry: I don't think we need to. He tricked them. The Doctor tricked them. They're looking at each other. They're never gonna move again.
The Doctor: Look, sorry. I've got a bit of a complex life. Things don't always happen to me in quite the right order. Gets a bit confusing at times. Especially at weddings. I'm rubbish at weddings. Especially my own.
The Doctor: Listen, gotta dash. Things. Happening. Well, four things. Well, four things and a lizard.
Utopia
Martha: It's a bit odd though. Not very one hundred trillion. That coat's more like World War II.
The Doctor: I think he came with us.
Martha: How d'you mean? He's from Earth?
The Doctor: Must have been clinging to the outside of the TARDIS. All the way through the vortex. Wow, that's very him.
Martha: What, do you know him?
The Doctor: A friend of mine. Used to travel with me.
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.
Jack: Doctor.
The Doctor: Captain.
Jack: Good to see you.
The Doctor: And you. Same as ever. Although. Have you had work done?
Jack: You can talk.
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!
Jack: Captain Jack Harkness.
The Doctor: Stop it!
Jack: Can't I say hello to anyone?
Chantho: Chan- I do not protest -tho.
Jack: Maybe later.
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.
The Doctor: It strikes me, Professor, you've got a room which no man can enter without dying. Is that correct?
The Professor: Yes.
The Doctor: Well. Jack is revived I think I've got just the man.
Jack: Was someone kissing me?
The Doctor: What are you taking your clothes off for?
Jack: I'm going in.
The Doctor: From the looks of it, I'd say the stet radiation doesn't affect clothing, only flesh.
Jack: Well. I look good though.
The Doctor: You might be out there somewhere.
Jack: I could go meet myself.
The Doctor: Well. The only man you're ever going to be happy with.
Jack: This new regeneration, it's kinda cheeky!
The Sound of Drums
Jack: Still, we made it. Twenty-first century by the looks of it. Talk about lucky.
The Doctor: That wasn't luck. That was me.
Albert Dumfries: You're insane!
The Master: Yes!
Jack: Former Minister of Defence. First came to prominence when he shot down the Racnoss on Christmas Eve. Nice work, by the way.
The Doctor: Oh, thanks.
The Doctor: I've been alone ever since. But not anymore. Don't you see? All we've got is each other.
The Master: Are you asking me out on a date?
The Master: You're public enemies number 1, 2 and 3. Oh, and you can tell handsome Jack that I've sent his little gang off on a wild goose chase to the Himalayas. So you won't be getting any help from them. Now go on, off you go. Why not start by turning to the right?
The Doctor: He can see us. disables the CCTV
The Master: Oh you public menace! Better start running. Go on, run.
The Doctor: He's got control of everything.
Martha: What do we do?
Jack: We've got nowhere to go.
Martha: Doctor, what do we do?
The Master: Run, Doctor. Run for your life!
The Doctor: We run.
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.
The Doctor: Children of Gaillfrey, taken from their families at the age of eight, to enter the academy. Some say that's where it all began—when he was a child. That's when the Master saw eternity. As a novice he was taken for initiation. He stood in front of the Untempered Schism. It's a gap in the fabric of reality, through which can be seen the whole of reality. You stand there, eight years old, staring at the raw power of time and space, just a child. Some would be inspired, some would run away, and some would go mad.
Martha: What about you?
The Doctor: Oh, the ones that ran away. I never stopped.
The Doctor: It just shifts your perception a tiny little bit. Doesn't make us invisible, just unnoticed. I know what's it like: it's like when you fancy someone and they don't even know you exist. That's what it's like.
Jack to Martha: You too, huh?
Martha: I'm going to kill him.
Jack: What say I use the perception filter to walk up behind him and break his neck.
The Doctor: Now that sounds like Torchwood.
Jack: Still a good plan.
The Master: And look. It's the girly and the freak. Although I'm not sure which one's which. Laser screwdriver. Who'd have sonic? And the good thing is he's not dead for long. I get to kill him again!
The Master: So it came to pass. That the human race fell and the Earth was no more. And I looked down upon my new dominion as master of all. And I thought it good.
Last of the Time Lords
Tom Milligan: How long since you were last in Britain?
Martha: 365 days. It's been a long year.
Tom: Story goes that you're the only person on Earth that can kill him. That you can kill the Master stone dead.
Tom: You've been in space?
Martha: Problem with that?
Tom: No, just, wow. Anything else I should know?
Martha: I've met Shakespeare.
Professor: Obviously the Archangel Network would seem to be The Master's greatest weakness. Fifteen satellites all around the Earth, still transmitting. That's why there's so little resistance. It's broadcasting a telepathic signal that keeps people scared.
Tom: We could just take them out.
Professor: We could. Fifteen ground-to-air missiles. You got any on you?
Professor: Whoever thought we'd miss Bill Gates.
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: And you know what happens now.
The Master: No! No!
The Doctor: You wouldn't listen. 'Cause you know what I'm going to say. I forgive you.
The Master: Dying in your arms. Happy now?
The Doctor: You're not dying, don't be stupid. It's only a bullet. Just regenerate.
The Master: No.
The Doctor: One little bullet. C'mon.
The Master: I guess you don't know me so well. I refuse.
The Master: How about that? I win.
Jack: Hey, I need that!
The Doctor: I can't have you walking around with a time traveling teleport. You could go anywhere. Twice! The second time to apologize.
Jack: And what about me? Can you fix that? Will I ever be able to die?
The Doctor: Nothing I can do. You're an impossible thing, Jack.
Jack: Been called that before.
Jack: Used to be a poster boy, when I was a kid, living in the Boeshane peninsula. Tiny little place. I was the first one ever to be signed up for the Time Agency. They were so proud of me. The Face of Boe, they called me.
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.
