Hey everyone,
What is your favourite Doctor Who quote? |

"Oh no, you are going to sing!"
"Well yes, I am!"
We'll never get another one like Doctor Who and the Pirates. That's sad but kind of understandable - how could you possibly ever top 'Gallifreyan Buccaneer'?

Are we talking across all media? If so, that's going to be tough to narrow down.
Silly answer: "Carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice!"
I'm going to have to ruminate on a serious answer.

I wouldn't necessarily say it was my favourite, but McGann's speech from The Resurrection Of Mars was one of my favourite character moments, a perfect distillation of the 8th Doctor's moral outlook and much more believable and restrained than the overblown speeches of the Smith era etc: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVxCGG79qt0 |

From Afterlife:
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 am the Sandman! The Oncoming Storm! I am the Ka Faraq Gatri; Destroyer of Worlds! And sometimes... only sometimes, I. Am. Your. Worst. Nightmare! ...I am the Doctor, and I take care of my friends.
It encapsulates the Doctor perfectly as character, only a monster when his enemies need a monster and always looks out for his friends.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

"Unlimited rice pudding! Et cetera, et cetera," was one that grabbed me the first time I heard it: it gave me a genuine "did he really say that?" moment and really stood out in an already brilliant story. It's the kind of line - pithy, characterful and memorable - that really sums up the character of the Doctor and how he's heard all this sh*t before and is having none of it.

Classic Who: "One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine."
Revived Series: "Just this once....Everybody lives!!"
Big Finish: I don't know. For me, it's about the narrative and not as much about the quotable "wham" moments.
Let's go with Banto and the Sixth Doctor from the One Doctor until I come up with a better answer.
The Doctor: It’s a gigantic body composed almost entirely of super heated gas.
Banto: Oh, rather like you then!

Doctor Classic: "Gentlemen, I've got news for you. This lighthouse is under attack and at morning we might all be dead"
Doctor NuWho: I've seen fake gods and bad gods and demigods and would-be gods; out of all that, out of that whole pantheon, if I believe in one thing... just one thing... I believe in her.
Non-Doctor Classic: "Well, you've got a wife and a half there, George. She found a cure for Beck's Syndrome forty years ago. Still, it'd be interesting to know what she's really doing with the money."
Non-Doctor NuWho:
DEE DEE: I think. I mean, from what I've seen, it repeats, then it synchronises, then it goes on to the next stage and that's exactly what the Doctor said would happen.
BIFF: What, and you're on his side?
DEE DEE: No.
JETHRO: The voice is the thing.
DEE DEE: And she's the voice. She stole it. Look at her. It's not possessing him, it's draining him.
HOSTESS: She's got his voice.
VAL: But that's not true, because it can't. Because I saw it pass into him. I saw it with my own eyes.
BIFF: So did I.
DEE DEE: You didn't.
VAL: It went from her, to him. You saw it, didn't you?
JETHRO: I don't know.
VAL: Oh, don't be stupid, Jethro. Of course you did.
JETHRO: I suppose he was right next to her.
BIFF: Everyone saw it. Everyone.
DEE DEE: You didn't. You're just making it up. I know what I saw, and I saw her stealing his voice.
VAL: She's as bad as him. Someone shut her up.
HOBBES: I think you should be quiet, Dee.
DEE DEE: Well, I'm only saying
HOBBES: And that's an order! You're making a fool of yourself, pretending you're an expert in mechanics and hydraulics, when I can tell you, you are nothing more than average at best. Now shut up.

For today, a scene from the recently revisited Davros:
THE DOCTOR: "Release Kim. Release Kim or I'll--" *points the shotgun at Davros's face*
DAVROS: "Ah, we have been here before, Doctor. We both know you will not kill me..."
THE DOCTOR: "You're right, but--" *unloads the entire clip* "--I have no qualms about shooting a communications console."

It encapsulates the Doctor perfectly as character, only a monster when his enemies need a monster and always looks out for his friends. Quite possibly the most Sylvestery speech that McCoy ever delivered. Love it. "I not only admit (my actions), I am proud of them. While you have been content merely to observe the evil in the galaxy, I have been fighting against it." in The War Games and Sixy's corruption speech are both good moments that encapsulate the Doctor and his relationship to his home. There have been some solid speeches in the Moffat era as well, even in the midst of so-so stories - but I'd be hard pressed to narrow down a single one. EDIT: Oh I also adore the moment that aztec posted from Resurrection of Mars. |

"You're the perfect example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain"
"There are worlds it there where the skies are burning, where the rivers sleep and the mountai s dream. Cities made of smoke and people made of song. Somewhere there's excitement, somewhere else there's injustice. Somewhere else the tea's getting cold"
"The Doctor: You just want cruelty to beget cruelty. You're not superior to people who were cruel to you. You're just a whole bunch of new cruel people. A whole bunch of new cruel people, being cruel to some other people, who'll end up being cruel to you. The only way anyone can live in peace is if they're prepared to forgive. Why don't you break the cycle?
Bonnie: Why should we?
The Doctor: What is it that you actually want?
Bonnie: War.
The Doctor: Ah. And when this war is over, when -- when you have the homeland free from humans, what do you think it's going to be like? Do you know? Have you thought about it? Have you given it any consideration? Because you're very close to getting what you want. What's it going to be like? Paint me a picture. Are you going to live in houses? Do you want people to go to work? What'll be holidays? Oh! Will there be music? Do you think people will be allowed to play violins? Who will make the violins? Well? Oh, You don't actually know, do you? Because, just like every other tantruming child in history, Bonnie, you don't actually know what you want. So, let me ask you a question about this brave new world of yours. When you've killed all the bad guys, and it's all perfect and just and fair, when you have finally got it exactly the way you want it, what are you going to do with the people like you? The troublemakers. How are you going to protect your glorious revolution from the next one?
Bonnie: We'll win.
Doctor: Oh, will you? Well maybe -- maybe you will win. But nobody wins for long. The wheel just keepts turning. So, come on. Break the cycle.
Bonnie: Then why are you still talking?
The Doctor: Because I'm trying to get you to see. And I'm almost there.
Bonnie: Do you know what I see, Doctor? A box. A box with everything I need. A 50% chance.
Kate: For us, too.
[The Doctor sighs.]
The Doctor: And we're off! Fingers on buzzers! Are you feeling lucky? Are you ready to play the game? Who's going to be quickest? Who's going to be the luckiest?
Kate: This is not a game!
The Doctor: No, it's not a game, sweetheart, and I mean that most sincerely.
Bonnie: Why are you doing this?
Kate: Yes, I'd like to know that too. You set this up -- why?
The Doctor: Because it's not a game, Kate. This is a scale model of war. Every war ever fought right there in front of you. Because it's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning -- sit down and talk! Listen to me, listen. I just -- I just want you to think. Do you know what thinking is? It's just a fancy word for changing your mind.
Bonnie: I will not change my mind.
The Doctor: Then you will die stupid. Alternatively, you could step away from that box. You could walk right out of that door, and you could stand your revolution down.
Bonnie: No, I'm not stopping this, Doctor. I started it. I will not stop it. You think they'll let me go after what I've done?
The Doctor: You're all the same, you screaming kids, you know that? "Look at me, I'm unforgivable." Well here's the unforeseeable, I forgive you. After all you've done. I forgive you.
Bonnie: You don't understand. You will never understand.
The Doctor: I don't understand? Are you kidding? Me? Of course I understand. I mean, do you call this a war, this funny little thing? This is not a war. I fought in a bigger war than you will ever know. I did worse things than you could ever imagine, and when I close my eyes... I hear more screams than anyone could ever be able to count! And do you know what you do with all that pain? Shall I tell you where you put it? You hold it tight... Til it burns your hand. And you say this -- no one else will ever have to live like this. No one else will ever have to feel this pain. Not on my watch.
[Kate closes her box.]
The Doctor: Thank you. Thank you.
Kate: I'm sorry.
The Doctor: I know. I know, thank you.
[The Doctor looks back to Bonnie.]
Well?
