• The Doctor : The more I know me, the less I like me.

• The Doctor : [the new Doctor's very first line, as he starts to awaken]  No, no, Mel...

  The Doctor : [springing into consciousness]  That was a nice nap, now down to business.

• The Doctor : [stumbling across the Rani's gun]  A navigational guidance-system distorter. Huh. This'd force any passing spaceship into landing here.

• The Rani : [as Mel]  Doctor, are you sure you're well?

  The Doctor : Of course. Fit as a trombone.

• The Doctor : Absence makes the nose grow longer.

• The Doctor : [while trying on outfits for his seventh incarnation, the Doctor comes out wearing his fourth incarnation's burgundy coat, hat and scarf]  Old hat.

  [he tosses the hat away, walks off and comes back wearing his third incarnation's frilled shirt and smoking jacket] 

  The Doctor : Not frilled.

  [walks off and returned wearing his fifth incarnation's cricketer outfit, beige coat and hat with leg guards and cricket bat] 

  The Doctor : How's that. Would that bowl the maiden over?
