And that's the point, really. +I have to really want to, to bring them back in front of my eyes. The rest of +the time they... they sleep in my mind and I forget. And so will you. Oh yes, +you will. You'll find there's so much else to think about. To remember. Our +lives are different to anybody else's. That's the exciting thing, that nobody +in the universe can do what we're doing. + + — "The Tomb of the Cybermen" +% + — Second Doctor: Don't you see what this is going to mean to all the people +who come to serve Klieg the all powerful?

Well... I was bored! + — Zoe: What do you mean, you were bored? + — Second Doctor: Well, the Time Lords are an immensely civilised race. We +can control our own environment, we can live forever, barring accidents, and we +have the secret of space time travel. + — Jamie: Well, what's so wrong in all that? + — Second Doctor: Well, we hardly ever use our great powers. We consent +simply to observe and to gather knowledge. + — Zoe: And that wasn't enough for you? + — Second Doctor: No, of course not. With a whole galaxy to explore? Millions +of planets, aeons of time, countless civilisations to meet? + — Jamie: Well, why do they object to you doing all that? + — Second Doctor: Well, it is a fact, Jamie, that I do tend to get involved +with things. + + — "The War Games" +% + — "This is, er...

Ready to link up? + — Osgood: No, sir. + — Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart: Well, when will you be ready, for heaven's +sake?! + — Third Doctor: About next Christmas, I shouldn't wonder! At a rough +estimate, of course. + + — "The Dæmons" +% + — "I always find violent exercise makes me hungry, don't you agree?" + + — The Third Doctor, holding The Master at swordpoint while stealing +his lunch, "The Sea Devils" +% + — Jo: Makes it seem so pointless, really, doesn't it? + — Third Doctor: I felt like that once when I was young. It was the blackest +day of my life. + — Jo: Why? + — Third Doctor: Ah, well, that's another story. I'll tell you about it one +day. The point is that day was not only my blackest, it was also my best. + — Jo: What do you mean? + — Third Doctor: Well, when I was a little boy, we used to live in a house +that was perched halfway up the top of a mountain. And behind our house, there +sat under a tree an old man, a hermit, a monk. He'd lived under this tree for +half his lifetime, so they said, and he learned the secret of life. So when my +black day came I went and asked him to help me. + — Jo: He told you the secret? And what was it? + — Third Doctor: Oh, I'm coming to that, Jo. In my own time. Ah, I'll never +forget what it was like up there. All bleak and cold, some few bare rocks with +some weeds sprouting from them, and some pathetic little patches of sludgy +snow. It was just grey. Grey, grey, grey. Well, the tree the old man sat under +was ancient and twisted, and the old man himself was as brittle and dry as a +leaf in the autumn. + — Jo: But what did he say? + — Third Doctor: Nothing. Not a word. He just sat there silently, +expressionless. He listened whilst I poured out my troubles to him. I was too +unhappy even for tears, I remember. And when I finished, he lifted a skeletal +hand, and he pointed. Do you know what he pointed at? + — Jo: No. + — Third Doctor: A flower. One of those little weeds. Just like a daisy, it +was. Well, I looked at it for a moment, and suddenly I saw it through his eyes. +It was simply glowing with life, like a perfectly cut jewel. And the colours– +the colours were deeper and richer than anything you could possibly imagine. It +was the daisiest daisy I'd ever seen. + — Jo: And that was the secret of life? A daisy? Honestly, Doctor... + — Third Doctor: Yes, I laughed too when I first heard it. So later I got up, +and I ran down that mountain, and I found that the rocks weren't grey at all. +They were red, brown and purple gold. And those pathetic little patches of +sludgy snow, they were shining white. Shining white with sunlight... Are you +still frightened, Jo? + — Jo: No. Not as much as I was. + — Third Doctor: That's good... I'm sorry I brought you to Atlantis. + — Jo: I'm not. + — Third Doctor: Thank you. + + — "The Time Monster" +% + — Second Doctor: I'm sorry, my dear, I hate to be contrary but I can see +he's a little bit confused, poor old chap, and I do feel you should have the +correct explanation. (to the Third Doctor) You don't mind, do you? + — Third Doctor: (sternly) Yes. + — Second Doctor: (without skipping a beat) I didn't think you would. You +see, Jo. I may call you "Jo", mayn't I? You see... He is one of me! + — Jo: Oh, I see! You're both Time Lords. + — Second Doctor: Quite! ...Well, not quite. + — Jo: Oh... + — Second Doctor: Not, not just Time Lords. We're the same Time Lord. + — Third Doctor: Now please, you're only confusing my assistant. Jo, it's all +quite simple — I am he and he is me! + — Jo: And we are all together, goo goo g'joob? + — Both Doctors: What? + — Jo: It's a song by The Beatles. + — Second Doctor: Really? How does it go? (brings the recorder to his lips) + — Third Doctor: Oh, please be quiet! + + — "The Three Doctors" +% + — "Courage isn't just a matter of not being afraid. It's being afraid and +doing what you have to do anyway." + + — The Third Doctor, "Planet of the Daleks" +% + — The Master: Nobody could be more devoted to the cause of peace than I! As +a commissioner of Earth's Interplanetary Police, I have devoted my life to the +cause of law and order; And law and order can only exist in a time of peace. + — Third Doctor: Are you feeling all right, old chap? + + — "Frontier in Space" +% + — "You know, for a man who abhors violence, I took great satisfaction in +doing that." + + — The Third Doctor on taking out a Dalek, "Planet of the Daleks" +% + — "So... the fledgling flies the coop." + + — The Third Doctor, foreseeing the imminent loss of his long time +companion in "The Green Death" +% + — "A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it +is by no means the most interesting." + + — The Third Doctor, "The Time Warrior" +% + — Sarah Jane: You're serious, aren't you? + — Third Doctor: About what I do? Yes, not necessarily the way I do it. + + — "The Time Warrior" +% + — "Good grief, it's a triceratops! Look Brigadier, try and keep it occupied +while I'm finishing this off, will you?" + + — The Third Doctor, "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" +% + — "A tear, Sarah Jane?" (gently cups Sarah's cheek with his hand) "...No, +don't cry. While there's life, there's..." (sighs and goes limp) + + — The Third Doctor's last words, "Planet of the Spiders" +% + — "You may be a doctor, but I'm the Doctor. The definite article, you might +say." + + — The Fourth Doctor, "Robot" +% + — Sarah Jane: Doctor, you're being childish! + — Fourth Doctor: Well, of course I am! There's no point in being grown up if +you can't be childish sometimes. + + — "Robot" +% + — Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart: A few months ago, the superpowers, Russia, +America and China, decided upon a plan to ensure peace. All three powers have +hidden atomic missile sites. All three agreed to give details of those sites +plus full operational instructions to another neutral country. In the event of +trouble, that country could publish everyone's secrets and so cool things down. +Well, naturally enough, the only country that could be trusted with such a role +was Great Britain. + — Fourth Doctor: (with obvious sarcasm) Well, naturally. I mean, the rest +were all foreigners. + — Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart: Well, exactly— (realizes the Doctor was +sarcastic) + + — "Robot" +% + — "It may be irrational of me, but human beings are quite my favorite +species." + + — The Fourth Doctor, "The Ark in Space" +% + — "Homo sapiens! What an inventive, invincible species. It's only a few +million years since they crawled up out of the mud and learned to walk. Puny, +defenseless bipeds. They've survived flood, famine and plague. They've survived +cosmic wars and holocausts and now here they are, out amongst the stars, +waiting to begin a new life. Ready to out-sit eternity. They're indomitable. +Indomitable." + + — The Fourth Doctor, musing on humanity, "The Ark in Space" +% + — Fourth Doctor: Davros, if you had created a virus in your laboratory, +something contagious and infectious that killed on contact, a virus that would +destroy all other forms of life; would you allow its use? + — Davros: It is an interesting conjecture. + — Fourth Doctor: Would you do it? + — Davros: The only living thing... The microscopic organism... reigning +supreme... A fascinating idea! + — Fourth Doctor: But would you do it? + — Davros: Yes; yes. To hold in my hand, a capsule that contained such power. +To know that life and death on such a scale was my choice. To know that the +tiny pressure on my thumb, enough to break the glass, would end... +everything... Yes! I would do it! That power would set me up above the gods! +AND THROUGH THE DALEKS I SHALL HAVE THAT POWER! + + — "Genesis of the Daleks" +% + — "Just touch these two strands together, and the Daleks are finished. Have +I that right?" + + — The Fourth Doctor, "Genesis of the Daleks" +% + — "You can't rule the world in hiding. You've got to come out on the balcony +sometimes and wave a tentacle." + + — The Fourth Doctor, "Terror of the Zygons" +% + — "I'm not a human being; I walk in eternity..." + + — The Fourth Doctor, "Pyramids of Mars" +% + — "Deactivating a generator loop without the correct key is like repairing a +watch with a hammer and chisel. One false move and you'll never know the time +again." + + — The Fourth Doctor, "Pyramids of Mars" +% + — Sarah Jane: So, providing we don't burn up on re-entry and aren't +suffocated on the way down, we'll probably be smashed to a pulp when we land. + — Fourth Doctor: Exactly! Sarah, you've put your finger on the one tiny flaw +in our plan. + — Sarah Jane: Our plan? It's your plan! + + — "The Android Invasion" +% + — Fourth Doctor: You humans have got such limited, little minds. I don't +know why I like you so much. + — Sarah Jane: Because you have such good taste. + — Fourth Doctor: That's true! That's very true. + + — "The Masque of Mandragora" +% + — Fourth Doctor: Hello, did I startle you? Don't be afraid. I won't hurt +you. + — Leela: (gasps) The Evil One! + — Fourth Doctor: ...Well, nobody's perfect, but that's overstating it a +little. + + — "The Face of Evil" +% + — Fourth Doctor: (holds up a jelly baby) Now drop your weapons or I'll kill +him with this deadly jelly baby! + — Warrior: Kill him, then. + — Fourth Doctor: What? + — Warrior: Kill him, then. + — Fourth Doctor: I don't take orders from anyone!

If you'll just untie my hands, I think I +have an idea of what's going on. I may be able to help. + — Neeva: Hear how it squirms for release! + — Fourth Doctor: (sighs) + — Neeva: ♪Hi ya, haaaah!♪ It cannot deceive us! + — Fourth Doctor: Oh no, I can see you're a person of very superior intellect. + + — "The Face of Evil" +% + — "The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They +don't alter their views to fit the facts; they alter the facts to fit their +views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that +needs altering." + + — The Fourth Doctor, "The Face of Evil" +% + — "Gentlemen, I've got news for you: this lighthouse is under attack and by +morning we might all be dead!" [grins widely] + + — The Fourth Doctor, "Horror of Fang Rock" +% + — "That's the empty rhetoric of a defeated dictator, and I don't like your +face either." + + — The Fourth Doctor, "Horror of Fang Rock" +% + — Stor: I am Commander Stor of the Sontaran Special Space Service. + — Fourth Doctor: "The SSSS"?

Never heard of it. Have you ever heard +of Scarlioni's angle? + — Romana II: No, I was never any good at geometry. + + — "City of Death" +% + — Skagra: "Take over the Universe"!? How childish. Who could possibly want +to take over the Universe? + — Fourth Doctor: Exactly! That's what I keep on trying to tell people. It's +a troublesome place, difficult to administer, and as a piece of real estate +it's worthless because by definition there'd be no one to sell it to. + + — From the script of "Shada" +% + — Romana II: I don't think we should interfere. + — Fourth Doctor: Interfere? Of course we should interfere. Always do what +you're best at. + + — "Nightmare of Eden" +% + — "I have an urgent appointment with an old friend. Well, I say a 'friend', +I mean a vengeance-fixated sociopath with megalomaniacal tendencies." + + — The Fourth Doctor on the Master, "Trail of the White Worm" +% + — "That's the trouble with regeneration.

Would you believe I'm a correspondent from the Good Cell Guide, and +I'm delighted to tell you that I haven't enjoyed my stay at all, and I'm +awarding you a four out of a possible five slop buckets? + — Richard III: Oh, we are too damn clever by half, aren't we? + — Fifth Doctor: Actually, no, I tell a lie! I'm a performance artist from +the 20th century and this is my latest instillation. I was going to call it +"Two Men Chained to a Wall" but then I thought "Freedom" would give it a bit +more intellectual gravitas. + — Richard III: [with absolutely withering sarcasm] Very funny, Doctor.

At least it will be given a few hours sleep. A firm mouth. A +face beaming with a vast intelligence. My dear child, what on Earth are you +complaining about? It's the most extraordinary improvement. + — Peri: On what?! + — Sixth Doctor: My last incarnation...

However much it hurts you and others. And no matter what happens as a +consequence, does what's in your hearts– heart make you a good person? + — Sarah: We are taught that God has infinite mercy, Doctor. But surely, as a +God-fearing man, you have no need to trouble yourself on this? + — Sixth Doctor: Oh, Sarah... If only you knew. + — Sarah: Tell me. + — Sixth Doctor: [sighs] What would you say if I were to tell you that I once +destroyed an entire race, that I have led friends to their deaths, and caused +numerous wars? That my intervention has led to peaceful races taking up arms +and good people having their faith or reason destroyed. Because I failed to +act, millions upon millions of people have been enslaved or killed? What if I +had done all those things, but had always, always believed I was doing to the +right thing? + — Sarah: If you were to tell me that, I would say: May God have mercy on +your soul. + — Sixth Doctor: Sarah... + — Sarah: But I would also say: I trust and pray that He will. + — Sixth Doctor: ...thank you. + + — "The Marian Conspiracy" +% + — "You can't take it in, can you?

Sharpened by what, a dose of mind +altering drugs? + — Sixth Doctor: I warn you, a verbal duel with me would only lead to +ignominy for you! + — Banto: Igno-what?

You were +prepared to sacrifice me and all of Time Lord civilisation, in the cause of +your monstrous, twisted ego. Frankly, I'll die happy, if the last words you +ever hear are mine. Words in praise of the best of times: Peri, Mel, Evelyn, +Flip, Mila, Constance, and all the others! + — The Valeyard: And yet, you'll leave Mel to die in your TARDIS? + — Sixth Doctor: She won't die. [sing-song] That radiation won't kill her! +[normal voice] It's only deadly to Time Lords! The TARDIS will land on +Lakertya, Mel will survive. And the Time Lords will survive — imperfect +though they are. At least they won't be insane manifestations of you. + — The Valeyard: You can't let me die!

Would it make any difference? + — John: Would make your tea sweet. + — Seventh Doctor: Yes, but beyond the confines of my taste buds, would it +make any difference? + — John: Not really. + — Seventh Doctor: But... + — John: Yeah? + — Seventh Doctor: What if I could control people's taste buds? What if I +decided that no one would take sugar? That'd make a difference to those who +sell the sugar and those who cut the cane. + — John: My father, he was a cane cutter! + — Seventh Doctor: Exactly. Now if no one had used sugar, your father +wouldn't have been a cane cutter. + — John: If this sugar thing had never started, my great grandfather wouldn't +have been kidnapped, chained up and sold in Kingston in the first place. I'd be +a African. + — Seventh Doctor: Every great decision creates ripples, like a huge boulder +dropped in a lake. The ripples merge and rebound off the banks in unforeseeable +ways.

We've got work to do." + + — The Seventh Doctor, "Survival" (the last piece of dialogue in the +Classic Series) +% + — "During the night [Ace] would wake up at the distant sound of landing and +be concerned. After the first time, she had asked the Doctor what he did at +night. 'Putting props in place,' he had said, 'making sure people know their +lines, sometimes leaving notes on the script. All the universe is a stage, Ace! +Acting is not enough for me; I like to direct.'" + + — Timewyrm: Revelation +% + — [Ace and the Doctor stands before a deep pit] + — Ace: Professor, what's down there? + — Seventh Doctor: I don't know. [smiles sadly at Ace] How long is the coast +of Britain? + — Ace: What? No idea. [looks down into the pit] + — Seventh Doctor: [raises Ace's head to face him with his hand] Don't gaze +into the void. Nietzsche said something similar, also interesting things about +fighting monsters. Pity about the rest of it. No. This is important. You could +measure the coastline, couldn't you? + — Ace: Yeah, 'spose so. + — Seventh Doctor: [deadly serious] But how carefully do you measure? With a +metre ruler? With a tape measure? Do you map every pebble, every tiny rockpool, +even if they remained after the tide? + — Ace: Well– + — Seventh Doctor: You could go down to atomic level, making finer and finer +measurements. You find more and more length, more little details. The length of +the coast is infinite, the measurement depends on your distance from it. + — Ace: That's stupid. + — Seventh Doctor: Perhaps. Like the edge of a snowflake or like this place. +The dimensions are fractional, the length of information is infinite... You can +express shapes like that as equations. The Timewyrm virus is an equation like +that. + — Ace: You mean it's infinite? + — Seventh Doctor: Yes. Fractal. Its appearance depends only on the scale you +view it from. Like that bully, Boyle. He's not important, he's very important, +he's the whole world. Are you following me? + — Ace: Yeah. + — Seventh Doctor: Using the equations you can write poetry, verse that +corresponds to the dimensions of the Wyrm itself. I learnt a poem like that, a +long time ago. I found it deep in my own dreams, instructed by a great teacher, +before I found out all of what I am. The Timewyrm doesn't know its own +potential, either. It can't hear the equations that make it, and it can't hear +the message I sent, either. + — Ace: [sighs] I don't know what you mean, Professor. + — Seventh Doctor: Life is a fractal thing, Ace. From a distance, a distance +like Hemmings saw it from, it's very simple, a question of cause and effect. +You push, it moves. Life isn't like that. The smallest things have the biggest +consequences. The beat of a butterfly's wing may topple a civilization. Life is +chaos, and chaos never dies. + + — Timewyrm: Revelation +% + — Seventh Doctor: Are you looking for the butterfly? + — Ace: What, the one who beats its wings and it tips the balance so a +hurricane forms? There isn't one, is there? + — Seventh Doctor: Not often. We just tell the butterflies that to keep them +happy. No. Mostly they break the butterfly on the wheel of time. But over the +decades and millions of butterflies... the weather still changes somehow. +That's time; a million multi-colored pieces of time. + + — "The Fearmonger" +% + — Vi Yulquen: Are you... excited by violence? + — Seventh Doctor: No, I abhor it. And it is never the moral option. + — Vi Yulquen: And how would you know that? + — Seventh Doctor: I've seen things that would make you curl into a +stuttering ball of denial for the rest your life! I've done those things. I've +pulled a trigger, pressed a button, detonated a bomb. [sighs] It doesn't make +you feel any better just because you win. + — Vi Yulquen: You're fortunate to have had the experience. You've made the +choice not to be violent. Celia and I can't do that. + — Celia Fortunaté: It's simply a concept to us. + — Seventh Doctor: I know. I've seen it before; you remove and alter +everything disagreeable to make yourself "better". You cut and you cut, but you +cut too well and you find that the very thing you've rid yourself off, the very +thing you are now denied, is what you so desperately want... I understand you. +You're depraved on the account of being deprived. + + — "Red" +% + — Seventh Doctor: The funny thing is... Switzerland? Now I know I am +suffering from memory loss. But, that seems wrong to me. + — Queenie Glasscock: What do you mean? + — Seventh Doctor: Well, whoever I am, I am not the person who would say +"Let's go to Switzerland!" It just sounds wrong coming out of my mouth. + — Queenie: It does? + — Seventh Doctor: "I say. How about a trip to Vevey? Oh the Cantons are so +lovely at this time of the year. I do love the cheese with the holes." It's +just not very me, is it? I mean, do you believe I like that sort of thing? +"Vevey"? "Cantons"? I mean, do you? I don't even know the name of this place. + + — "The Magic Mousetrap" +% + — Evelyn: What happened to you, Doctor? + — Seventh Doctor: I used to march around saying things like "Don't worry, +Evelyn; it'll all work out for the best in some way I haven't quite thought up +yet!" How did that work out for us? How did that work out for Cassandra +Schofield? I need to be in control. + — Evelyn: You can't control everything. + — Seventh Doctor: I can certainly try. + + — "A Death in the Family" +% + — Koloon: Doctor!

You're one... little... man! + — Seventh Doctor: No, not a man. Not a human being. I am a complex +space-time event. I am Lord President of Gallifrey. The Traveller from Beyond +Time.

I do +love the dark, don't you? + — Charley: Well... within reason, but I think you can have too much of a +good thing. + — Eighth Doctor: Oh, it all just enhances the mystery, the sheer +anticipation of not yet having a clue where we are. + — Charley: You really haven't got a clue? + — Eighth Doctor: The console isn't telling me anything at all, just a blank +read-out. + — Charley: Well, that sounds ominous. + — Eighth Doctor: No, not at all. I've been too methodical recently, I think. +Setting coordinates and things, actually deciding where we want to go. I've +been getting far too safe and predictable these last few incarnations.

How nothing's constant, how everything decays and changes? + — Charley: You call that wonderful? + — Eight Doctor: I call it absolutely beautiful! How would it be if +everything was always the same? If you never got too big for your dresses, if +you never got to pass them on to your sister? If the rainy autumn lasted +forever and the spring never came? At least I change. I'm stumbling my way +through bodies like I own a particularly dangerous bicycle. Grayle never +changes, not inside, not who he is. So time piles on top of him and kills +everything good.

After +all, we are capable of living for thousands of years; you can barely reach a +hundred. And they came up with a theory. Do you want to know what it is? + — Charley: You need friendship? Companionship? You must get lonely, +travelling the universe with no one to share it with. + — Eighth Doctor: They thought you were all memento mori. + — Charley: What? + — Eighth Doctor: Reminders of death. Quite common things really. On Medieval +Earth, courtiers would often keep skulls on their mantelpiece. They were very +much the "in" thing. No matter how powerful you were, death was inevitable. You +still had to remember your mortality. And Time Lords need to remember all the +more. I denied that was the reason of course, and as you said, friendship, +companionship. But over the years, over my many lifetimes, as my friends all +left me one by one, I began to wonder that they really might have had a point +after all. + + — "Scherzo" +% + — Eighth Doctor: Buddhism is a relatively simple philosophy, C'rizz. Like +children, we're here to learn. If we learn well during our life we're rewarded +with nirvana. If not, we're reborn in a new body to try to accomplish what we +failed to learn the first time 'round. Easy as falling off a log. + — Charley: And how many bodies have you had, now? + — Eighth Doctor: Yes, well... That's beside the point, Charley. + + — "The Natural History of Fear" +% + — "I may talk like a fool, but I always know what I'm talking like a fool +about!" + + — The Eighth Doctor, "Caerdroia" +% + — Guidance: Every young buck who wants to prove his manhood is eager to +blood his face in your entrails. + — Eighth Doctor: That's teenagers for you. Of course I was a terror 'til +120. + — Guidance: One hundred and...? + — Eighth Doctor: Late-developer. + + — "The Next Life" +% + — "Never turn down tea if it's offered. It's impolite, and that's how wars +start." + + — The Eighth Doctor, "Memory Lane" +% + — "Revenge is a dish best left to go cold and then thrown in the kitchen +bin. Trust a Doctor: Prevention is better than cure." + + — The Eighth Doctor, "Memory Lane" +% + — Charley: Yes, but what was that?! + — Eighth Doctor: I shall just find out by using my super Time Lord powers +of... looking out of the window. + + — "Memory Lane" +% + — "So it was your plan to kill us all, then. That's good. That's very, very +good, because I'd hate to think that you'd done something so monumentally +brainless by accident!" + + — The Eighth Doctor, "Blood Of The Daleks" +% + — "Was that supposed to frighten me, Farl? I've seen entire species +destroyed; civilisations left in ruins. I've witnessed solar systems vanish in +the twinkling of an eye. I've seen things that would freeze your blood. So +don't threaten me. Don't ever threaten me." + + — The Eighth Doctor, "Phobos" +% + — Lucie: What are you doing? + — Eighth Doctor: Shredding. + — Lucie: What are you shredding? + — Eighth Doctor: Everything I can find. + — Lucie: Why? + — Eighth Doctor: I'm hoping it might annoy somebody. + + — "Human Resources" +% + — Lucie: Do you... I mean, do you still think about Orbis? Your life back +there? + — Eighth Doctor: Well... Why do you ask? + — Lucie: Sometimes I look at you and you look, well, sad. + — Eighth Doctor: Lucie, there's a lot of darkness out there. Some of it +where Orbis used to be. But you know something? We wouldn't notice any of it if +it weren’t for all those little pinpricks of light. Planets and stars. And +that's where I go whenever I feel sad. The next bit of light in the darkness, +keep on moving. Never look back... Well, hardly ever. + + — "The Scapegoat" +% + — "Nothing that gives people hope, courage, and strength, is stupid." + + — The Eighth Doctor, "The Cannibalists" +% + — Lucie: Doctor, why didn't you press that button? I mean, one life to save +millions? It makes sense. + — Eighth Doctor: Because... I used to be that guy. + — Lucie: You mean, you're the Monk?! He was you all along? + — Eighth Doctor: No, but not far off. I was once a man with a masterplan. +I'd seek out injustices, topple governments, all in the name of the greater +good. I'd started doing the maths, you see... + — Lucie: The maths? + — Eighth Doctor: This is how evil starts, with the belief that the ends +justify the means. But once you start down that road, there's no turning back. +What if you can save a million lives, but you have to let ten people die, or a +hundred, or a hundred thousand? Where do you stop? + — Lucie: But you did. You did stop. + — Eighth Doctor: I did. But by then I'd ended up travelling alone, because I +couldn't trust myself with anyone's life. Well, not after... + — Lucie: Not after...? ...Not saying? Okay. Then what was it that made you +realize that it was time to change from lonely bean-counter to companionable +time traveller? + — Eighth Doctor: A new body, a clean slate, a fresh start. From that day on, +I knew that I never would again countenance the death of a single living being. +That's why I no longer travel alone. + — Lucie: Why? + — Eighth Doctor: So I never can forget how precious a single life is. + + — The Eighth Doctor on the Seventh Doctor, "The Resurrection Of Mars" +% + — The Master: You're... You're really sanguine, Doctor, given the terminal +nature of our predicament. + — Eighth Doctor: We're stuck. In here. Together. Frankly, if I'm going to +die on an exploding spaceship, I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have die +with me. + — The Master: You're willing to sacrifice your life?! What, to get rid of +me? + — Eighth Doctor: With you gone, my friends — and the fate of the Universe +— are safe. The Time Lords can clear up the mess. Besides; I'm enjoying +watching you squirm. How should we pass the time? ...I know! Tell me about your +mother... + — The Master: (annoyed sigh) You've tried psychoanalysing me before, Doctor! +Why bother? How can you fathom the unfathomable? + — Eighth Doctor: On the contrary: You're actually pretty transparent. You're +a spoiled child. You have to get what you want. Or everyone suffers. Trouble +is, you don't know what you want, beyond killing me. What are you "Master" of, +precisely? + — The Master: The title you chose: "Doctor". Now, it's not just "a man of +healing", it means "teacher", it means "tutor". Where as I am the "Master". We +both want to change the Universe to make it "better", it's only the scale of +our ambitions that separates us. + — Eighth Doctor: What are you saying? You'd like to be a doctor, but you +didn't have the patience? + — The Master: (laughs heartily) Oh, how have I resisted killing you until +now? + — Eighth Doctor: You tell me. You'd rather see me humiliated. Actually, the +simple answer is — you don't want to. You need me around. To give you the +attention you so desperately crave. Ever since we were at the Academy together, +all those centuries ago. + — The Master: Oh, I never think of the past. The future is my sole concern. +I thought you were the same, never looking back. Only, in your case, it's +because you're afraid to face the death and destruction you leave in your wake. + — Eighth Doctor: Whereas you delight in it. + + — "Masterplan" +% + — Gallifreyan Recruit: Are you... him? + — Eighth Doctor: I'm certainly a him. For the moment, anyway. + + — "The Conscript" +% + — Eighth Doctor: I've stayed away because I don't know where to begin. I +don't know the answer to a Time War! + — Commandant Harlan: What? You've stopped trying to find one? + — Eighth Doctor: No, but I'm sure it's not to keep sending millions to die! +To escalate an arms race where both sides have unfettered access to all time +and space. I've seen worlds destroyed, civilizations choked in their cradles, +whole races fleeing in terror. I've seen centuries of art, of science, wiped +out in an instant. I just saw a beautiful rainforest burn along with every +creature in it. I didn't even know the planet's name. If you're prepared to +accept that much collateral damage to the rest of the universe, then what +exactly are you fighting for?! I'll protect those with no choice in the matter, +no voice. + — Commandant Harlan: Noble sentiments, but that's all they are. You avoid +the issue while the rest of us have to make a stand. We are the ones in the +right. Gallifrey must prevail. At any cost. + — Eighth Doctor: That is what terrifies me. That certainty. You start +believing only in absolutes. Well, isn't that exactly who you're fighting? + + — "The Conscript" +% + — Cass: Where are we going? + — Eighth Doctor: Back of the ship. + — Cass: Why? + — Eighth Doctor: Because the front crashes first. Think it through! + + — "The Night of the Doctor" +% + — "I don't suppose there's any need of a Doctor any more. Make me a Warrior +now." + + — The Eighth Doctor, "The Night of the Doctor" +% + — "Charlie, C'rizz, Lucie, Tamsin, Molly... friends, companions I've known, +I salute you. Cass...I apologize. Physician, heal thyself!" + + — The Eighth Doctor's last words from "The Night of the Doctor", +making all of the Big Finish audio adventures canon in one fell swoop. +% |
