Donna Noble : A great big empire, built on slavery...
The Doctor : It's not so different from your time.
Donna Noble : Oy! I haven't got slaves!
The Doctor : Who d'you think made your clothes?
Donna Noble : Is that why you travel round with a human at your side? It's not so you can show them the wonders of the universe, it's so you can take cheap shots?
The Doctor : Sorry.
Donna Noble : Well, don't.

[looking at a map of the 2nd Great and Bountiful Human Empire and it's Galaxies]
Donna Noble : But look at us. We're everywhere. Is that good or bad though? Are we like explorers, or more like a virus?
The Doctor : Sometimes I wonder.

Donna Noble : [on Mr. Halpern] They... turned him into an Ood.
The Doctor : Yup.
Donna Noble : He's an Ood.
The Doctor : I noticed.

Donna Noble : It's weird... but... being with you, I can't tell what's right and what's wrong anymore.
The Doctor : It's better that way. People who know for certain tend to be like Mr. Halpen.

The Doctor : [standing in a container full of Ood] Ood, tell me. Does 'the Circle' mean anything to you?
The Ood : [all the translators light up at once] The Circle must be broken.
Donna Noble : [breathy] Whoa, that is creepy.
The Doctor : But what is it? What is the Circle?
The Ood : The Circle must be broken!
The Doctor : Why?
The Ood : So that we can sing!
-
Donna Noble : [taps Ood to get its attention] Excuse me, are you all like this?
Alien Voices : [as Ood] I do not understand, miss.
Donna Noble : [agitated] Why do you say "miss?" Do I look single?
The Doctor : Back to the point...
Donna Noble : Right... sorry...
-
Donna Noble : [the Doctor and Donna have been handcuffed and left to die] Well, do something! You're the one with all the tricks... and you must've met Houdini!
The Doctor : [straining] Ugh... These are really good handcuffs...
Donna Noble : [sarcastically] Well, I'm glad of that. At least we've got quality!

Donna Noble : [on Ood delta 50] He sang as he was dying.
The Doctor : His eyes turned red.
Donna Noble : What's that mean?
The Doctor : Trouble.

The Doctor : [rapid fire with Donna's lines] Oh, no. No, no, no. We're not married.
Donna Noble : *So* not married.
The Doctor : Never.
Donna Noble : Never, ever!
Solana Mercurio : [politely] Of course.

The Doctor : That's there song.
Donna Noble : I can't hear it.
The Doctor : Do you want to?
Donna Noble : Yeah.
The Doctor : It's the song of captivity.
Donna Noble : Let me hear it.
The Doctor : Face me.
[the Doctor link his mind with Donna's]
The Doctor : Open your mind, listen. Hear it Donna. Hear the music.
[the Song of Captivity plays]
Donna Noble : [Crying] Take it away!
The Doctor : You sure?
Donna Noble : I can't bear it!
[the doctor takes it away]
Donna Noble : I'm sorry.
The Doctor : It's okay.
Donna Noble : But you can still hear it.
The Doctor : All the time

Mr Halpen : The Ood were nothing without us. Just Animals, roaming around on the ice
The Doctor : That's because you can't hear them.
Mr Halpen : They welcomed it. It's not as if they put up a fight.
Donna Noble : You idiot. They're born with their brains in their hands, don't you see, that makes them peaceful. They've got to be, 'cause a creature like that would have to trust anyone it meets.
The Doctor : Ooh, nice one.
Donna Noble : Thank you.
-
Donna Noble : [the Ood show the Doctor and Donna their Brain] Is that...
The Doctor : It's a Brain. A Hind Brain. The Ood are born with a secondary Brain. Like the Amygdala in Humans, it processes Memory and Emotions. You get rid of that, you wouldn't be Donna anymore, you'd be... well, like an Ood, a processed Ood.
Donna Noble : So the company... cuts off their brains.
The Doctor : And they stitch on the translator.
Donna Noble : Like a Lobotomy. I spent all that time looking for you doctor because I thought it would be so wonderful out here. I wanna go home.
