Quotes 

• Amy Pond : You look human.

  The Doctor : No, you look Timelord. We came first.

• The Doctor : You couldn't have known how it would react.

  Amy Pond : I couldn't, but I've seen it before. Very old, and very kind and the very, very last, sound a bit familiar?

• Liz 10 : What are you doing?

  The Doctor : [Adjusting machinery]  The worst thing I'll ever do. I'm going to pass a massive electrical charge through the Star Whale's brain - should knock out its higher functions, leaving it a vegetable. The ship will still fly, but the whale won't feel it.

  Amy Pond : That'll be like killing it.

  The Doctor : Look, three options: One, I let the Star Whale continue, in unendurable agony for hundreds more years; Two, I kill everyone on this ship; Three, I murder a beautiful, innocent creature as painlessly as I can. And then, I... I find a new name, because I won't be The Doctor anymore.

  Liz 10 : There must be something we can do, there must be another way...

  The Doctor : Nobody talk to me. Nobody

  [violently slams hand down on console] 

  The Doctor : *HUMAN* has anything to say to me today!

• Amy Pond : I'm in the future. Like hundreds of years in the future. I've been dead for centuries.

  The Doctor : Oh, lovely, you're a cheery one aren't you?

• Amy Pond : What are you going to do?

  The Doctor : What I always do. Stay out of trouble... badly.

• The Doctor : Say Weeeeeee!

  Amy Pond : Ahhhhhh!

• The Doctor : [as he straightens his bow tie]  Right then, this isn't going to be big on dignity. Geronimo!

• Mandy : Everyone chooses the "Forget" button.

  The Doctor : Did you?

  Mandy : I'm not eligible to vote yet. I'm 12. Anytime after you're 16 you're allowed to see the film and make your choice, and then, once every five years.

  The Doctor : And once every five years, everyone chooses to forget what they've learned. Democracy inaction.

• The Doctor : What's wrong with this picture?

  Amy Pond : Is it... the bicycles? Bit unusual on a spaceship, bicycles.

  The Doctor : Says the girl in the nighty.

  Amy Pond : Oh my God, I'm in my nighty!

• Mandy : How do you not know about this? Are you Scottish too?

  The Doctor : Oh, I'm way worse than Scottish, I can't even see the movie, won't play for me.

  Amy Pond : It played for me.

  The Doctor : The difference being the computer doesn't accept me as human.

  Amy Pond : Why not? You look human.

  The Doctor : No, you look Time-Lord, we came first.

  Amy Pond : So there are other Time-Lords yeah?

  The Doctor : No, there were, but there aren't. Just me now. Long story, it was a bad day, bad stuff happened and you know what I'd love to forget it all, every last minute of it, but I don't.

• Amy Pond : People phone you?

  The Doctor : Well, Its a phone box.

• Amy Pond : Have you ever run away from something because you were scared or, or not ready, or just, just because you could?

  The Doctor : Once. A long time ago.

  Amy Pond : What Happened?

  The Doctor : [Shrugs, grins and looks guilty]  Hello.

• Amy Pond : Why did you just do that with the bottle?

  The Doctor : Don't know. I think a lot. It's hard to keep track.

• The Doctor : A lot of bad stuff happened. And I'd love to forget it all. But I don't. Not ever. Because this is what I do. Every time, every day, every second. This: on five, we're bringing down the government.

• The Doctor : Look, three options: One, I let the star whale continue in unendurable agony for hundreds more years. Two, I kill everyone on this ship. Three, I murder a beautiful, innocent creature as painlessly as I can. And then I... find a new name, because I won't be the Doctor anymore.

  Liz 10 : There must be something we can do; some other way.

  The Doctor : Nobody talk to me.

  [shouts] 

  The Doctor : Nobody human has anything to say to me today!
