Quotes 

• The Doctor : Wilfred Mott! Ohhh, now I feel better. Now nothing is wrong, nothing in the whole wide world! Hello, me old soldier!

  Wilfred Mott : I never thought I'd see you again after all these years. Oh, Doctor, that lovely face! It's like springtime.

  The Doctor : And Donna's got her memory back.

  Donna Noble : Without dying, which I recommend.

  Wilfred Mott : Yeah, well, I knew it. I never lost faith. I said, "He won't let us down. He'll come back and save us."

  The Doctor : Save us from what?

  Donna Noble : And where's the family? Where's Rose? Are they alright?

  Wilfred Mott : Yeah, they're fine. They're safe. I've told them to bunker down. "I'll keep watch," I said. "You save yourselves."

  The Doctor : Why? Is there something wrong? What's going on?

  Donna Noble : What is it? What's happening?

  Wilfred Mott : It's everybody. It's everything. They're all going mad. Listen, you've got to do something, Doctor. The whole world's coming to an end!

• The Doctor : We've got a chair. That's a good sign - it's a life form with a bum.

• The Doctor : It's funny, cos I wonder where the Tardis goes at random. Maybe it lands on some outcrop by the sea. And there's a tribe and they worship it for 100 years. Then they grow up and try to burn it. Then they get wise. They preserve it. Then they build a city all around it... till the Tardis is just a tiny little dot, surrounded by skyscrapers and monorails. Time passes and the city falls. It all gets swept away. And there's the Tardis... still on its outcrop... by the sea. She's the only thing I've got left.

  Donna Noble : Do you miss home? Gallifrey?

  The Doctor : I suppose. I mean, yes, but... No, it got complicated. It's the least of our problems right now.

• Donna Noble : Oh, my God, where are we?

  The Doctor : Don't...

  Donna Noble : Rose is waiting.

  The Doctor : I will get you home.

  Donna Noble : How?

  The Doctor : There is one... hope. A mechanism on board the TARDIS called HADS. Hostile Action Displacement System. If the TARDIS is in danger, it goes away.

  Donna Noble : Goes where?

  The Doctor : Anywhere. And it only comes back once the danger is gone. I turned it off years ago. I mean, I'd never land anywhere. Once spent three years in orbit, I thought, "Oh, turn off the HADS." But, if the TARDIS is rebuilding itself, maybe it clicked back on.

  Donna Noble : But that means we've landed in the middle of hostile action.

  The Doctor : Yeah.

  Donna Noble : There's something on this ship that's so bad the TARDIS ran away?

  The Doctor : Yes.

  Donna Noble : Then, we go and kick its arse!

• The Doctor : So, anyway, I was wondering, she said, on the spaceship, that other Donna had your memory. She could remember us as the DoctorDonna, so she could see my life and my mind and my thoughts for the past 15 years. All the time we've been apart, she could remember it. Can you?

  Donna Noble : No. It's too much. It's like looking into a furnace. But I suppose she had a great big outer-space brain, she could make sense of it.

  The Doctor : Yeah, maybe.

  Donna Noble : Why?

  The Doctor : Just wondering.

  Donna Noble : What did she see?

  The Doctor : Oh... things.

  Donna Noble : Like what? Come on. Where have you been since I last saw you? What's happened?

  The Doctor : Oh, you know, the usual. Robots, chases, waterfalls.

  Donna Noble : Oh, OK. But what really happened?

  The Doctor : A lot.

  Donna Noble : You OK?

  The Doctor : I will be.

  Donna Noble : When?

  The Doctor : [pause]  A million years.

• Donna Noble : [as Not-Donna]  Back on Earth, when I was the Doctor Donna... I saw your mind. I've had 15 years without you and I saw everything that's happened to you since and, oh, my God, it hurt.

  The Doctor : You're saying this to break me down.

  Donna Noble : We haven't stopped to talk. We haven't had a chance. It's always like that with you, running from one thing to the next. I saw it. In your head. The Flux.

  The Doctor : It destroyed half the universe because of me. We stand here now on the edge of creation, a creation which I devastated. So, yes, I keep running. Of course I do. How am I supposed to look back on that?

  Donna Noble : It wasn't your fault!

  The Doctor : I know!

  Donna Noble : I'm sorry.

  The Doctor : Donna, is that you?

  Donna Noble : Yeah.

  The Doctor : [rushes to hug her]  All those years. I missed you.

  Donna Noble : [Not-Donna melts into the floor and laughs evilly]  I just couldn't keep it together! You are so amazing. We stare at that universe so far away, but you have owned it. You are such a prize.

• The Doctor : Wilfred Mott! Ohhh, now I feel better. Now nothing is wrong, nothing in the whole wide world!

  [He hugs him] 

  The Doctor : Hello, me old soldier!

  Wilfred Mott : I never thought I'd see you again after all these years. Oh, Doctor, that lovely face! It's like springtime.

• Donna Noble : There's something so dangerous, the TARDIS ran away?

  The Doctor : ..yes

  Donna Noble : Then we go and kick its arse!

• Donna Noble : Was it me, or was Isaac Newton hot?

  The Doctor : He was, wasn't he? He was so hot. Oh! Is that who I am now?

  Donna Noble : Well, it was never that far from the surface, mate.

• Donna Noble : But it's got to be said, Mr Isaac Newton, that you above all others can appreciate...

  The Doctor : Oh, no, don't.

  Donna Noble : You can appreciate...

  The Doctor : Really, really don't.

  Donna Noble : Oh, come on! You can appreciate...

  Donna Noble , The Doctor : The gravity of the situation!

• The Doctor : No-things. No control of shape. No concept of shape or size.

  Donna Noble : How can they get bigger? Cos you only get a certain amount of mass, don't you? Shaun used to complain about that watching Venom films. He'd say "Where's the extra mass come from?"

  The Doctor : It got colder.

  Donna Noble : Oh yeah, it got colder for me.

  The Doctor : Heat into mass? But they're not just physical copies, they've got our thoughts too. That other Donna, she mentioned Gallifrey.

  Donna Noble : The other Doctor said Wilf.

  The Doctor : So they've got our memories.

  Donna Noble : Ok, so they're copies with memories and mass but what I don't get is why do they hate us?

• The Doctor : [about the Flux]  It destroyed half the universe because of me. We stand here now, on the edge of creation- a creation which I devastated. So yes, I keep running! Of course I do! How am I supposed to look back on that?

• The Doctor : [as the Not-Doctor]  We drifted here, in the lack-of-light, passing no-time. But we would feel it from so far away... your noisy, boiling universe. We want to travel there to play your vicious games and win.

  The Doctor : If you existed here, no shape, no form, no purpose, then what's made you... so bad?

  The Doctor : [as the Not-Doctor]  The things we felt, they shaped us, carrying across the dark. We could hear your lives of war and blood and fury and hate. They made us like this.

  Donna Noble : We are more than that.

  Donna Noble : [as Not-Donna]  Love letters don't travel very far.

• Isaac Newton : Odsbodkins! What the devil?

  The Doctor : Oh! Sorry. We're just slightly out of control. My friend Donna... This is Donna. Donna Noble.

  Donna Noble : Hi!

  The Doctor : She just dropped some coffee into the console.

  Donna Noble : But don't worry, he's got a time machine, which means he can blame me for all eternity.

  The Doctor : I just need to triangulate. Could you tell me what year this is?

  Isaac Newton : It's 1666.

  The Doctor : Oh! Stay away from London. Wait a minute... Apple tree, apple, man holding an apple in 1666? Are you... Sir Isaac Newton?

  Isaac Newton : Sir Isaac?

  The Doctor : Oh! Not yet. Spoilers.
