Quotes 

• Tenth Doctor : But don't worry, I started a very long time ago!

  [Numerous TARDISes approach Gallifrey] 

  First Doctor : Calling the War Council of Gallifrey, this is the Doctor.

  Eleventh Doctor : You might say, I've been doing this all my lives.

  Second Doctor : Good luck!

  Third Doctor : Stand by.

  First Doctor : Ready.

  Fourth Doctor : Commencing calculations.

  Fifth Doctor : Soon be there.

  Seventh Doctor : Across the boundaries that divide one universe from another.

  Sixth Doctor : Got to lock on to his coordinates.

  Ninth Doctor : And for my next trick...

• Eleventh Doctor : [to himself]  I could be a curator. I'd be great at curating, I'd be "The Great Curator" ha-ha. I could retire and do that. I could retire and be the curator of this place.

  The Curator : [behind him]  You know I really think you might.

  [the Doctor turns and studies the Curator curiously] 

  Eleventh Doctor : I never forget a face.

  The Curator : I know you don't. And in years to come you might find yourself revisiting a few... but just the old favorites, eh?

  [the Eleventh Doctor winks at him] 

• [the Curator and the 11th Doctor look at a painting] 

  The Curator : You were curious about this painting, I think. I acquired it in remarkable circumstances. What do you make of the title?

  Eleventh Doctor : Well, which title? There's two: "No More" or "Gallifrey Falls".

  The Curator : No. You see, that's where everybody's wrong. It's all ONE title: "Gallifrey Falls No More". Now... what would you think that means, eh?

  Eleventh Doctor : ...That Gallifrey didn't fall. It worked! It's still out there!

  The Curator : I'm only a humble curator. I'm sure I wouldn't know.

  [moves off] 

  Eleventh Doctor : Then where is it?

  The Curator : [comes back]  Where is it indeed?

  Eleventh Doctor : Yes!

  The Curator : Lost! Shhh!... Perhaps. Things do get lost, you know. And now you must excuse me. Ohhh... you have a lot to do.

  Eleventh Doctor : Do I? Is that what I'm supposed to do now, go looking for Gallifrey?

  The Curator : Well, that's entirely up to you. Your choice, eh? I can only tell you what I would do. If I were you...

  [laughs] 

  The Curator : "If I were you..." Perhaps I was you, of course. Or, perhaps you are ME.

  [both laugh, and the Curator shakes the Doctor's hand] 

  The Curator : Congratulations.

  Eleventh Doctor : Thank you very much.

  The Curator : Or, perhaps, it doesn't matter, either way. Who knows? WHO knows?
