Quotes from Doctor Who

Rose Tyler (Billie Piper)

ROSE

The Doctor: I'm the Doctor, by the way. What's your name?
Rose Tyler: Rose.
The Doctor: Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!

Rose: Really though, Doctor. Tell me. Who are you?
The Doctor: Do you know like we were saying? About the Earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the Earth's turning and you just can't believe it because everything looks like it's standing still. I can feel it: the turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour. And the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at 67,000 thousand miles an hour and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me. Clinging to the skin of this tiny little world and if we let go... that's who I am. Now forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home.

Rose: If you are an alien how come you sound like you're from the North?

Mickey: Don't! He's an alien! He's a thing!

Rose: Is it always this dangerous?
The Doctor: Yeah.

Cassandra: Honestly, it doesn't hurt.
Rose: I mean it. I would rather die. It's better to die than to live like you. A bitchy trampoline.

Pete: What, a pretty girl like you? If I was going out with you—
Rose: Stop right there!
Pete: I'm just saying.
Rose: I know what you're saying and we're not going there. At no point are we going anywhere near there. You aren't even aware that "there" exists. I don't even want to think about "there" and believe me, neither do you. "There" for you is like the Bermuda Triangle.

Rose: Where I come from, Jackie doesn't know how to work the time on the video recorder.
Pete: I showed her that last week. *beat* Point taken.

THE EMPTY CHILD

The Doctor: It's mauve.
Rose: Mauve?
The Doctor: Universally recognized color for danger.
Rose: What happened to red?
The Doctor: That's just humans. By everyone else's standards, red's camp. Oh, the misunderstandings. All those red alerts, all that dancing. It's got a very basic flight computer. I've hacked in, slaved the TARDIS. Wherever it goes, we go.

The Doctor: Totally. things go awry. Okay, reasonably. I should have said reasonably there.

The Doctor about Rose's Union Jack t-shirt: Are you sure about that t-shirt?
Rose: Too early to say. I'm taking it out for a spin.

Captain Jack: Ready for you. Hold tight!
Rose: To what?
Captain Jack: Fair point.

Jack: Are you alright? You know you look a little dizzy.
Rose: What about you? You're not even in focus. she faints.

The Doctor: 1941. Right now, not very far from here, the German war machine is rolling up the map of Europe. Country after country, falling like dominos. Nothing can stop it—nothing. Until one tiny, damp little island says "No.". "No. Not here.". A mouse in front of a lion. You're amazing, the lot of you. I don't know what you do to Hitler, but you frighten the hell out of me.

The Doctor: Mr. Spock?
Rose: What was I supposed to say? You don't have a name. Don't you ever get tired of Doctor? Doctor who?
The Doctor: Nine centuries and I'm coping.

THE DOCTOR DANCES

The Doctor: Funny little human brains, how do you get around in those things?
Rose: When he's stressed he likes to insult species.

The Doctor: I'm making an effort not to be insulted.
Rose: I mean... men.
The Doctor: Okay, thanks. That really helped.

Rose: Doesn't the universe implode or something if you dance?
The Doctor: Well I've got the moves but I wouldn't want to boast.

The Doctor: We were talking about dancing.
Captain Jack: Didn't look like talking.
Rose: Didn't feel like dancing.

The Doctor: History said there was an explosion here. Who am I to argue with history?
Rose: Usually the first in line.

The Doctor: Rose, I just remembered.
Rose: What?
The Doctor: I can dance. I can dance!
Rose: Actually, Doctor, I think Jack might like this dance.
The Doctor: I'm sure he would Rose. I'm absolutely certain. But who with?

BOOM TOWN

THE BAD WOLF

Finding herself on Weakest Link:
Rose: Oh my god. The Android. The Anne Droid.

The Doctor: No! 'Cause this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna rescue her. I'm gonna save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet, and then I'm gonna save the Earth. And then—just to finish off—I'm gonna wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky!
Dalek: But you have no weapons, no defenses, no plan.
The Doctor: Yeah! And doesn't that scare you to death? Rose?
Rose: Yes, Doctor?
The Doctor: I'm coming to get you.

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS

Rose: You did it. Feels like I haven't seen you in years.
The Doctor: I told you I'd come and get you.
Rose: I never doubted it.
The Doctor: I did.

Captain Jack: It's been fun, but I guess this is goodbye.
Rose: Don't talk like that. the Doctor's gonna do it. Just, watch him.
Captain Jack: Rose, you are worth fighting for. kisses her. Wish I'd never met you Doctor. I was much better off as a coward. kisses him. to both: See you in hell.

The Doctor: If I'm very clever—and I'm more than clever, I'm brilliant—I might just save the world. Or rip it apart.
Rose: I'll go for the first one.
The Doctor: Me too. Now, I've just got to power up the game station. Hold on!
And with that the Doctor sends Rose back to her time

The Doctor (hologram): This is Emergency Program One. Rose, now listen. This is important. If this message is activated then it can only mean one thing: we must be in danger. And I mean fatal. I'm dead, or about to die any second. We have no chance of escape—
Rose: No!
The Doctor (hologram): —and that's okay. I hope it's a good death. I promised to look after you and that's what I'm doing. The TARDIS is taking you home—
Rose: I won't let you.
The Doctor (hologram): —And I bet you're fussing and moaning right now. Typical. But just hold on and listen a bit more. The TARDIS can never return for me. Emergency Program One means I'm facing an enemy that should never get their hands on this machine. So this is what you should do: let the TARDIS die. Just let this old box gather dust. No one can open it, no one will even notice it. Let it become a strange little thing standing on a street corner. And over the years the world will move on and the box will be buried. And if you want to remember me, you can do one thing. That's all. One thing. The hologram turns to look at Rose. Have a good life. Do that for me, Rose. Have a fantastic life.

Rose: You're going to be safe, my doctor. Protected from a false god.
Dalek Emperor: You can not hurt me. I am immortal.
Rose: You are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space. Every single atom of your existence. And I divide them. Everything must come to death. All of them. Everything dies.

Rose: I can see everything. All that is, all that was, all that ever could be.
The Doctor: That's what I see. All the time. Doesn't it drive you mad?
Rose: My head—
The Doctor: Come here.
Rose: —is killing me.
The Doctor: I think you need a doctor.

The Doctor: Rose, before I go, I just want to tell you. You were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I.

Rose: Where'd you get that tree? That's a new tree, where'd you get it?

Queen Victoria: I've had five daughters. It's nothing to me.

Rose: I want her to say "We are not amused." I bet you five quid I can make her say it.

Rose: Ten quid?
The Doctor: Done.

Queen Victoria: Please excuse the naked girl.

The Doctor: I let you keep Mickey. Now go go go!

Rose: What have you been doing? Where have you been?

Reinette: The monsters and the Doctor. It seems you can not have one without the other.
Rose: Tell me about it. The thing is, you weren't supposed to have either. These creatures are messing with history. None of this is ever supposed to happen to you.
Reinette: "Supposed to happen". What does that mean? It happened, child. And I would not have it any other way. One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel.

Rose: I can manage a glass of champagne or a nice cup of tea.

Rose: What, are they robots?
The Doctor: Worse than that.
Rose: They're people.

Rose: Why no emotion?
The Doctor: Because it hurts.

THE AGE OF STEEL

The Doctor: I'm the Doctor, by the way. If anyone's interested.
Rose: And I'm Rose. Hello.
Pete: Even better. That's the name my dog. Still, at least I've got the catering staff on my side.

Rose: Let's just say I'm doing it for my mom and dad.

Rose: No. Don't worry about me. okay, we're on a planet that shouldn't exist, underneath a blackhole, with no way out. Yeah, I've changed my mind. Start worrying about me.

Rose: I did that job once. I was a dinner lady. Not that I'm calling you a lady. Although I don't know. You might be. Do you actually get paid, though? Do they give you money?
Ood: The Beast and his armies shall rise from the pit to make war against god.
Rose: I'm sorry?
Ood: Apologies. I said, "I hope you enjoy your meal."
Rose unsure: Yeah.

The Doctor: I promised Jackie I'd always take you back home.
Rose: Everyone always leaves home in the end.

Rose: It's funny 'cause people back home think that space travel's gonna be all whizzing about, teleports, anti-gravity. But it's not, is it? It's tough.
The Doctor: I'll see you later.
Rose: Not if I see you first.

Rose: Don't forget to breathe. Breathing's good.
Zach: Rose, stay off the com.
Rose: Fat chance.

THE SATAN PIT

Rose: Right. So we need to stop them or get out. Or both.
Dan: I'll take both, yeah. But how?
Rose: You heard the Doctor. Why do you think that thing cut him off? Because he was making sense. He was telling you to think your way out of this.

Rose crawling behind Danny: Not your best angle, Danny.
Dan: Oi, stop it.
Toby behind Rose: I don't know. It could be worse.
Rose: Oi!

LOVE & MONSTERS

Rose: No one upsets my mum.

The Doctor: Her and the Isolus... two lonely kids who need each other. 
Rose: And it won't stop, will it, Doctor? It'll just keep pulling kids in. 
The Doctor: It's desperate to be loved. It's used to a pretty big family. 
Rose: How big? 
The Doctor: Say around... four billion? 

Kel: You just took a council axe from a council van and now you're digging up a council road! I'm reporting you to the council! 
Rose: It went for the hottest thing in the street. Your tar! 
Kel: What is it?
Rose: It's a spaceship. Not a council spaceship, I'm afraid. 

ARMY OF GHOSTS

Rose: This is the story of how I died...

Rose: According to the paper, they've elected a ghost as MP for Leeds. Now don't tell me you're going to sit back and do nothing.
The Doctor: Who you gonna call?
Rose: Ghostbusters!
The Doctor: I ain't afraid of no ghosts.

Jackie: You've changed so much.
Rose: For the better.
Jackie: I suppose.
Rose: Mum, I used to work in a shop.
Jackie: I've worked in shops. What's wrong with that?

Jackie: Do you think you'll ever settle down?
Rose: The Doctor never will, so I can't. I'll just keep on traveling.
Jackie: And he'll keep on changing. And in forty years time, fifty, they'll be this woman, this strange woman walking through the marketplace. On some planet a billion miles from Earth. But she's not Rose Tyler. Not anymore. She's not even human.

The Doctor: Hm. There goes the advantage of surprise. Still, cuts to the chase. Stay here, look after Jackie.
Rose: I'm not looking after my mum.
The Doctor: Well you brought her.
Jackie: I was kidnapped!
Rose: Doctor, they've got guns.
The Doctor: And I haven't. Which makes me the better person, don't you think? They can shoot me dead but the moral high ground is mine.

Mickey: It's alright babe. We beat 'em before, we can beat 'em again. That's why I'm here. The fight goes on.
Rose: The fight against what?
Mickey: What d'ya think?

DOOMSDAY

Rose: You didn't need to kill him!
Dalek: Neither did we need him alive.

Rose: Five million Cybermen, easy. One doctor, now you're scared.

Dalek: The technology is stolen. The Ark is not of Dalek design.
Rose: Then who built it?
Dalek: The Time Lords. This is all that survives of their world.
Rose: What's inside?
Dalek: The future.

Rose: If these are going to be my last words then you're going to listen. I met the Emperor. And I took the time vortex and poured it into his head and turned it into dust.

Rose: I'm just supposed to go
The Doctor: Yeah
Rose: To another world and then it gets sealed off.
The Doctor: Yeah.
Rose: Forever. That's not going to happen.

The Doctor: Where are we? Where did the gap come out?
Rose: We're in Norway.
The Doctor: Norway, right.
Rose: About 50 miles out of Bergen. It's called [?]
The Doctor: Dalek?
Rose: [?]. It's Norwegian for "bad". It translates as Bad Wolf Bay.

Rose: Am I ever going to see you again?
The Doctor: You can't.

Turn Left

Rose: What happened? What did they find? grabbing Donna Sorry, did they find someone?
Donna: I don' know. A bloke called The Doctor, or something.
Rose: Well where is he?
Donna: They took him away. He's dead. I'm sorry, did you know him? I mean, they didn't say his name. Could be any doctor.
Rose: I came so far.
Donna: It could be anyone.
Rose: What's your name?
Donna: Donna. And you?
Rose: Oh I was just... passing by. I shouldn't even be here. This is wrong. This is wrong... this is so wrong. Sorry, what was it? Donna what?
Donna: Why d'you keep looking at my back?
Rose: I'm not.
Donna: Yes you are. You keep looking behind me. You're doing it now. What is it? What's there! Did someone put something on my back?!

Rose: It's the ATMOS devices. We're lucky it's not so bad here. Britain hasn't got that much petrol. But all over Europe—China, South Africa—they're getting choked by gas.
Donna: Can't anyone stop it?
Rose: Yeah. They're trying right now. This little band of fighters. On board the Sontaran ship Any second now— a huge explosion in the sky—
Donna: And that was?—
Rose: That was the Torchwood team. Gwen Cooper. Ianto Jones. They gave their lives. And Captain Jack Harkness has transported to the Sontaran home world. There's no one left.
Donna: You're always wearing the same clothes. Why won't you tell me your name?
Rose: None of this was meant to happen. There was a man—this wonderful man. And he stopped it. The Titanic, the Adipose, the ATMOS. He stopped them all from happening.
Donna: That Doctor.
Rose: You knew him.
Donna: Did I? When?
Rose: I think you dream about him sometimes. There's a man in a suit. Tall, thin man. Great hair. Some... really great hair.
Donna: Who are you?
Rose: I was like you. I used to be you. 'Cause you've travelled with him, Donna. You travelled with The Doctor in a different world.

Rose: Something's coming, Donna. Something worse.
Donna: The whole world is stinking! How could anything be worse than this?
Rose: Trust me, we need the Doctor more than ever. I've— I've been pulled across from a different universe 'cause every single universe is in danger. It's coming, Donna. It's coming from across the stars and nothing can stop it.
Donna: What is?
Rose: The Darkness.
Donna: Well, what d'you keep telling me for? What am I supposed to do? I'm nothing special. I mean, I— I'm not... I'm nothing special. I'm a temp! I'm not even that. I'm nothing.
Rose: Donna Noble, you're the most important woman in the whole of creation.
Donna: Oh, don't. Just... don't. I'm tired. I'm so tired.
Rose: I need you to come with me.
Donna: Yeah. Well. Blonde hair might work on the men, but you ain't shifting me, Lady.
Rose: That's more like it.
Donna: I've got plenty more.
Rose: And you'll come with me. Only when you want to.
Donna: You'll have a long wait, then.
Rose: Not really, just three weeks. Tell me, does your grandfather still own that telescope?
Donna: He never lets go of it.
Rose: Three weeks time. But you've got to be certain. 'Cause when you come with me, Donna, I'm sorry, so sorry, but... you're going to die.

Rose: "Time and Relative Dimension in Space". This room used to shine with light. I think it's dying. Still trying to help.
Donna: And it belonged to The Doctor?
Rose: He was a Time Lord. Last of his kind.
Donna: But if he was so special, what's he doing with me?
Rose: He thought you were brilliant.
Donna: Don't be stupid.
Rose: But you are. It just took the Doctor to show you that, simply by being with him. He did the same to me. To everyone he touches.
Donna: Were you and him... ?

Donna: What is it?
Rose: We don't know.
Donna: Oh. Thanks.
Rose: It feeds off time. By changing time. By making someone's life take another turn. Like, ah, meetings never made, children never born, a life never loved. But with you it's...
Donna: But I never did anything important!
Rose: Yeah you did. One day that thing made your turn right instead of left.
Donna: When was that?
Rose: Oh you wouldn't remember, it was the most ordinary day in the world. But by turning right you never met The Doctor and the whole world just changed around you.
Donna: Can you get rid of it?
Rose: I can't even touch it. Seems to be in a state of flux.
Donna: What does that mean?
Rose: I don't know. Sort of thing the Doctor would say.

Rose: I thought it was just The Doctor we needed, but it's both of you. The Doctor and Donna Noble. Together. To stop the stars from going out.

Donna: How d'you know it's gonna work?
Rose: Hm? Oh yeah. We don't. We're just, we're just guessing.
Donna: Brilliant.
Rose: Just remember, when you get to the junction, change the car's direction by one minute past ten.
Donna: How do I do that?
Rose: It's up to you.
Donna: Well I just have to... run up to myself and... have a good argument.
Rose: I'd like to see that.
Captain Magambo: Activate Lodestone.
Rose: Good luck.
Donna: I'm ready!
Rose: One minute past ten.
Donna: 'Cause I understand now. You said I was gonna die, but you mean this whole world, is gonna blink out of existence. But that's not dying! 'Cause a better world takes its place. The Doctor's world! And I'm still alive! That's right, isn't it? I don't die. If I change things, I don't die. That's... that's right, isn't it?
Rose: I'm sorry.
Donna: But I can't die! I've got a future! With The Doctor! You told me!

The Stolen Earth

Rose: Alright, now we're in trouble. It's only just beginning.

Dalek: My vision is not impaired!
Sylvia: I warned you Dad.
Dalek: Hostility will not be tolerated! Exterminate! Exterminate! Rose takes off its head
Wilfred: Do you wanna swap?
Rose: You're Donna Noble's family, right? I'm Rose Tyler. And I need you.

Rose: You're my last hope. If we can't find Donna, we can't find The Doctor.

Jack: What!? Who is that?
Harriet Jones: Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister.
Jack: Yeah. I know who you are.
Rose: Harriet! It's me! It's me! She can't hear me. You got webcam?
Wilfred: No, she wouldn't let me. She said they're naughty.
Rose: Well I can't speak to her then, can I?

Harriet Jones: Sarah Jane Smith, 13 Bannerman Road. Are you there?
Sarah Jane: Yeah! Yeah, I'm here. That's me!
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.

Harriet Jones: Not now, Captain. And Martha Jones, former companion to The Doctor.
Rose: Oi, so was I!

Harriet Jones: I knew— I knew that one day the Earth would be in danger and The Doctor would fail to appear. I told him so myself and he didn't listen.
Martha: But I've been trying to find him. The Doctor's got my phone on the TARDIS but I can't get through.
Rose: Nor me, and I was here first.

Rose: Find me a Doctor. Find me...

Rose: Right. I'm going to find him. Wish me luck.

Rose: I've got you! I missed you. Look, it's me! Look!
The Doctor: Rose.
Rose: Right.
The Doctor: Long time, no see.
Rose: Yes. Been busy, you know. Don't die. Oh my god, don't die! Oh my god, don't die!
Jack: Get him into the TARDIS quick. Move!

Jack: Rose, do as I say and get back. He's dying, and you know what happens next.
Donna: What d'you mean?
Rose: Not now. I came all this way.
Donna: What d'you mean? What happens next?
Jack: It's starting.

Jack: Here we go! Good luck, Doctor.
Donna: Would somebody please tell me what is going on?
Rose: When he's dying his body, it repairs itself. It changes. But you can't!
The Doctor: I'm sorry. It's too late. I'm regenerating.
