You wither and you die. Imagine watching that happen to someone you... Rose Tyler: What, Doctor? The Doctor: You can spend the rest of your life with me. But I can't spend the rest of mine with you.

Way too many... the magnification's gone right over the top, that's a stupid kind of - [aside to ROSE] - am I being rude again? Rose Tyler: Yup. The Doctor: But it's pretty! Very... pretty! |
| Season 2 / Episode 2: - Tooth and Claw Sir Robert: Nevertheless, that creature won't give up, Doctor, and we still don't possess an actual weapon! The Doctor: Oh, your dad got all the brains, didn't he? Rose Tyler: Being rude again! The Doctor: Good, I meant that one. You want weapons? We're in a library! Books! The best weapons in the world! This room's the greatest arsenal we could have - arm yourselves! |
| Season 2 / Episode 2: - Tooth and Claw Rose Tyler: [the werewolf is breaking through the door] What do we do? The Doctor: We run! Rose Tyler: That's it? The Doctor: You got any silver bullets?

| Season 2 / Episode 2: - Tooth and Claw Rose Tyler: [They are trapped in the library, but the werewolf has stopped attacking for the moment] Can I just say one thing? The Doctor: What? Rose Tyler: [Squeals excitedly] A werewolf! The Doctor: [Just as excited] I know! [They run to each other and hug. Then he pulls back to look over her] Are you okay? Rose Tyler: Yeah, I'm fine. |
| Season 2 / Episode 2: - Tooth and Claw Rose Tyler: [after meeting Queen Victoria] I wanted to hear her say, "We are not amused." Bet you five quid I can get her to say it. The Doctor: Taking that bet would be an abuse of my responsibilities as a traveller in time. Rose Tyler: Ten quid? The Doctor: Done. |
| Season 2 / Episode 2: - Tooth and Claw Rose Tyler: I want her to say [she puts on an affected upper-classed accent] 'we are not amused'. I bet you five quid I can make her say it.

| Season 2 / Episode 2: - Tooth and Claw Queen Victoria: And please excuse the naked girl. Rose Tyler: Sorry. The Doctor: She's a feral child. I bought her for sixpence in old London Town. It's was her or the Elephant Man, so... Rose Tyler: Thinks he's funny but I'm so not amused. |
| Season 2 / Episode 2: - Tooth and Claw Rose Tyler: moonlight, but it needs moonlight. It's made of moonlight! The Doctor: Yer well your seventy percent water but you can still drown |

| Season 2 / Episode 2: - Tooth and Claw Rose Tyler: Is that the Koh-i-noor? The Doctor: Oh yes. The greatest diamond in the world. Queen Victoria: Given to me as the spoils of war. Perhaps its legend is now coming true. It is said that whoever owns it must surely die. The Doctor: Well, that's true of anything if you wait long enough. |
 | Season 2 / Episode 1: - New Earth The Doctor: That's the city of New New York. Rose Tyler: No, seriously? The Doctor: Well, technically it's the 15th city with that name, so it'd be New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York. Rose Tyler: [laughs] You're so... different. The Doctor: I'm the new new doctor. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 13: - The Parting of the Ways (Part 2) The Doctor: [hologram, speaking towards the console] This is Emergency Programme One. Rose, now listen, this is important. If this message is activated, then it can only mean one thing: we must be in danger, and I mean fatal. I'm dead, or about to die any second with no chance of escape. Rose Tyler: No! The Doctor: And that's OK, I hope it's a good death. But I promised to look after you, and that's what I'm doin'. The TARDIS is takin' you home. Rose Tyler: I won't let you. The Doctor: And I bet you're fussing and moaning now, typical. But hold on, and just listen a bit more. The TARDIS can never return for me. Emergency Programme One means I'm facing an enemy that should never get their hands on this machine. So this is what you should do: let the TARDIS die. Just let this old box gather dust. No one can open it, no one will even notice it. Let it become a strange little thing standing on a street corner. And over the years, the world will move on, and the box will be buried. And if you wanna remember me, then you can do one thing. That's all, one thing. The Doctor: [hologram turns to face Rose, and with a full voice] Have a good life. Do that for me, Rose. Have a fantastic life. |
| Season 1 / Episode 13: - The Parting of the Ways (Part 2) Emperor Dalek: We waited here in the dark space, damaged but rebuilding. Centuries passed and we quietly infiltrated the systems of Earth, harvesting the waste of humanity: the prisoners, the refugees, the dispossessed; they all came to us. The bodies were filleted, pulped, sifted. The seed of the human race is perverted. Only one cell in a billion was fit to be nurtured. The Doctor: So you created an army of Daleks out of the dead. Rose Tyler: That makes them, half human. Emperor Dalek: [shouts] Those words are blasphemy! Dalek #1: Do not blaspheme! Dalek #2: Do not blaspheme! Do not blaspheme! Emperor Dalek: Everything human has been purged. I cultivated pure and blessed Dalek. The Doctor: Since when did the Daleks have a concept of blasphemy? |
| Season 1 / Episode 13: - The Parting of the Ways (Part 2) The Doctor: What have you done? Rose Tyler: I looked into the TARDIS and the TARDIS looked into me. The Doctor: You looked into the time vortex, Rose, nobody is supposed to see that! Emperor Dalek: This is the abomination! Dalek: Exterminate! Rose Tyler: I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself. I take the words... Rose Tyler: ...I scatter them, in time and space. Rose Tyler: A message, to lead myself here. The Doctor: Rose, you've got to stop this, you've got to stop this now! You've the entire vortex running through you're head, you're gonna burn! Rose Tyler: I want you safe, my Doctor. Protected from the false God. Emperor Dalek: You cannot hurt me. I am immortal. Rose Tyler: You are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space, every single atom of your existence, and I divide them. Rose Tyler: Everything must come to dust. All things, everything dies. |
| Season 1 / Episode 13: - The Parting of the Ways (Part 2) Rose Tyler: The time war ends. Emperor Dalek: I will not die! I cannot diieee! The Doctor: Rose, you've done it, now stop. The Doctor: Just let go. Rose Tyler: How can I let go of this? I bring life. The Doctor: But this is wrong! You can't control life and death! Rose Tyler: But I can. The sun and the moon, the day and night... but why do they hurt? The Doctor: The power's gonna kill you and it's my fault! Rose Tyler: I can see everything... all that is... all that was... all that ever could be. The Doctor: [stands up] But that's what *I* see. All the time. And doesn't it drive you mad? Rose Tyler: [Rose nods, barely able to speak] My head... The Doctor: Come here. Rose Tyler: ...is killing me. The Doctor: I think you need a Doctor. |
| Season 1 / Episode 13: - The Parting of the Ways (Part 2) The Doctor: Rose Tyler. I was gonna take you to so many places. Barcelona. Not the city Barcelona, the planet Barcelona. You'll love it, fantastic place, they've got dogs with no noses! The Doctor: Imagine how many times a day you end up telling that joke, and it's still funny! Rose Tyler: Then, why can't we go? The Doctor: Maybe you will, and maybe I will, but not like this. Rose Tyler: [standing up] You're not making sense. The Doctor: I might never make sense again! I might have two heads! Or no head! Imagine me with no head - and don't say that's an improvement. The Doctor: But it's a bit dodgy, this process. The Doctor: You never know what you're gonna end up with. Rose Tyler: Doctor! The Doctor: Stay away! Rose Tyler: Doctor, tell me what's going on. The Doctor: I absorbed all the energy of the time vortex and no one's meant to do that. Every cell in my body's dying. Rose Tyler: Can't you do something? The Doctor: Yeah, I'm doing it now... Time Lords have this little trick, it's sort of a way of cheating death, except, it means I'm gonna change. And I'm not gonna see you again, not like this, not with this daft old face. And before I go... Rose Tyler: Don't say that! The Doctor: Rose, before I go I just wanna tell you - you were fantastic... absolutely fantastic... and d'you know what? The Doctor: So was I. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 12: - Bad Wolf (Part 1) The Anne Droid: So, Rose, what do you actually do? Rose Tyler: I just travel about a bit. Bit of a tourist, [smiling] I suppose. The Anne Droid: Another way of saying unemployed? Rose Tyler: No. The Anne Droid: Have you got a job? Rose Tyler: [sounding less confident] Well, not really, no. The Anne Droid: Then you *are* unemployed. And yet you've still got enough money to buy peroxide. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 11: - Boom Town Rose Tyler: We've got a prisoner. The police box is really a police box. Margaret Blaine: You're not just police, though. Since you're taking me to my death, that makes *you* my executioners. Each and every one of you. Mickey Smith: Well *you* deserve it. Margaret Blaine: [looks straight at him] You're very quick to say so. And you're very quick to soak your hands in my blood. Which makes you better than me how, exactly? [he says nothing] Long night ahead. [walks away & sits down; finally] Let's see who can look me in the eye. [looks piercingly at each person; none hold eye contact for more than a few seconds; & the Doctor barely even looks up from his work] |
| Season 1 / Episode 11: - Boom Town The Doctor: [looking at the project banner] How'd you think of the name? Margaret Blaine: What? "Blaidd Drwg"? It's Welsh. The Doctor: I know, but how did you think of it? Margaret Blaine: Chose it at random, that's all. I don't know, just sounded good. Does it matter? The Doctor: [turns around] "Blaidd Drwg." Rose Tyler: What's it mean? The Doctor: Bad Wolf. Rose Tyler: [getting it] But... I've heard that before, "Bad Wolf", I've heard that *lots of times*. The Doctor: Everywhere we go. Two words, following us. "Bad Wolf." Rose Tyler: How can they be following us? The Doctor: [concerned pause, then suddenly grins] Nah. Just a coincidence! Like hearing a word on the radio then hearing it all day. Never mind! |
 | Season 1 / Episode 10: - The Doctor Dances (Part 2) Captain Jack: [when he realizes his Sonic Blaster's stopped working] Damn it! It's the special features, they really drain the battery. Rose Tyler: The battery? [both run through the door the Doctor just opened; after she stops] It's so lame. Captain Jack: I was going to send for another one but *somebody's* [looking at the Doctor] got to blow up the factory. Rose Tyler: Oh, I know. First day I met him, he blew my job up. That's practically how he communicates. |
| Season 1 / Episode 10: - The Doctor Dances (Part 2) Rose Tyler: Look at you, beaming away like you're Father Christmas! The Doctor: Who says I'm not, red-bicycle-when-you-were-twelve? Rose Tyler: What? |
| Season 1 / Episode 10: - The Doctor Dances (Part 2) The Doctor: [finishes locking the door with his Sonic screwdriver] Ok, that door should hold it for a bit. Captain Jack Harkness: The Door. The wall didn't stop it! The Doctor: Well it's got to find us first! Come on, we're not done yet! Assets, assets! Captain Jack Harkness: Well, I've got a banana and, in a pinch, you could put up some shelves. The Doctor: Window? Captain Jack Harkness: Barred. Sheer drop outside. Seven storeys. Captain Jack Harkness: [sits in a wheel chair] Rose Tyler: And no other exits. Captain Jack Harkness: Well, the assets conversation went in a flash, didn't it? |
