Donna: You really believe in all that stuff, don't you?

The Fires of Pompeii

Donna: Hold on a minute. That sign over there's in English. Are you having me on? Are we in Epcot?
The Doctor: No no no. That's the TARDIS translation circuits. It just makes it look like English. Speech as well. You're talking Latin right now.

Donna: Wait a minute. One mountain. With smoke. Which makes this—
The Doctor: Pompeii. We're in Pompeii. And it's Volcano Day.

Donna: Listen, I don't know what sort of kids you've been flying around with in outer space but you're not telling me to shut up.

Planet of the Ood

The Doctor: Snow! Ah, real snow. Proper snow at last!

The Doctor: His eyes turned red.

The Doctor: Long story.
Donna: Long walk.
The Doctor: It was the Devil.
Donna: If you're gonna take the mickey I'll just put my hood back on.

Ross: UNIT's been watching the Rattigan Academy for years. It's all a bit "Hitler Youth". Exercise at dawn and classes and special diets.
The Doctor: Ross, one question. If you do think that Atmos is dodgy—
Ross: How come we've got it in the Jeeps. Huh. Tell me about it. They're fitted as standard in all government vehicles. We can't get rid of them so we can prove there's something wrong. Drives me around the bend.
The Doctor: Oh, nice one!
Ross: Timed that perfectly.
The Doctor: Yeah, yeah you did.

Dad: She's never mentioned anyone else. She's always been alone.
Little Girl: Someone's in my Library. No no, please! It's not allowed!

The Doctor: The Library. So big it doesn't need a name. Just a great big "The".
Donna: It's like a city.
The Doctor: It's a world. Literally. A world. The whole core of the planet is the index computer. Biggest hard drive ever. And up here, every book ever written. Whole continents of Jeffrey Archer, Bridget Jones, Monty Python's Big Red Book. Brand new editions, special printings. We're near the equator, so... checks the wind. This must be biographies! I love biographies!
Donna: Yeah, very you. Always a death at the end.

Message: Count the shadows. For god's sake, remember. If you want to live, count the shadows. Message ends.
The Doctor: Donna.
Donna: Yeah?
The Doctor: Stay out of the shadows.
Donna: Why? What's in the shadows?

River: Listen to me, you've lost your friend—you're angry, I understand. But you need to be less emotional, Doctor. Right now—
The Doctor: Less emotion— I'm not emotional!
River: There are five people in this room still alive. Focus on that. Dear god, you're hard work young.
