That Doctor Who-flavoured meme making the rounds!

[eponymous_rose]

When you see this, quote from Doctor Who.

Okay, meme! You asked for it!



First Doctor's Era

We're always in trouble! Isn't this extraordinary - it follows us everywhere!
- The Doctor (Marco Polo)

I made some cocoa and got engaged.
- The Doctor (The Aztecs)

That is the dematerializing control. And that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy! Now please stop bothering me.
- The Doctor (The Time Meddler)

Let me get this straight: A thing that looks like a police box standing in a junkyard- it can move anywhere in time and space?
- Ian Chesterton (An Unearthly Child)

Second Doctor's Era

The Doctor: You look very nice in that dress, Victoria.
Victoria: Thank you. Don't you think it's a bit...
The Doctor: A bit short? Oh, I shouldn't worry about that. Look at Jamie's.
(The Tomb of the Cybermen)

Jamie: Have you thought up some clever plan, Doctor?
The Doctor: Yes, Jamie, I believe I have.
Jamie: What are you going to do?
The Doctor: Bung a rock at it.
(The Abominable Snowmen)

I am not a student of human nature. I am a professor of a far wider academy of which human nature is merely a part.
- The Doctor (Evil of the Daleks)

Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
- The Doctor (The Wheel in Space)

Third Doctor's Era

My dear Miss Shaw, I never report myself anywhere, particularly not forthwith.
- The Doctor (The Silurians)

Well, I'll tell you something that should be of vital interest to you: that you, sir, are a nitwit!
- The Doctor (Inferno)

Third Doctor: Well, Sergeant? Aren't you going to say that it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside? Everybody else does.
Sergeant Benton: It's pretty obvious, isn't it?
(The Three Doctors)

A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting.
- The Doctor (The Time Warrior)

Fourth Doctor's Era

The Doctor: Keep an eye on the sentry.
Romana: Why?
The Doctor: Sleeping on duty is a serious offense. If anyone comes, you can wake him up.
Romana: You do know that sarcasm's an adjustive stress reaction?
(The Ribos Operation)

Sarah Jane: What if there's something horrible waiting for us?
The Doctor: Well, don't tell Harry that. He's gone first.
(Genesis of the Daleks)

Scorby: Okay, start talking.
The Doctor: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had perfect pitch...
Scorby: [referring to corpse] What happened to him?
The Doctor: Who, Wolfgang Amadeus...? Oh, him. Oh, he died.
(The Seeds of Doom)

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, defenceless bipeds. They've survived flood, famine and plague. They've survived cosmic wars and holocausts. And now, here they are, out among the stars, waiting to begin a new life. Ready to outsit eternity. They're indomitable.
- The Doctor (The Ark in Space)

Fifth Doctor's Era

The Doctor: When was the last time you smelled a flower, watched a sunset, ate a well-prepared meal?
Cyberleader: These things are irrelevant.
The Doctor: For some people, small, beautiful events is what life is all about!
(Earthshock)

The Master: You will obey me.
Peri: No!
The Master: I am the Master!
Peri: So what? I'm Perpugilliam Brown, and I can shout as loud as you can!
(Planet of Fire)

Turlough: We're running out of places to run
Tegan: That's the story of our lives
(The Awakening)

Oh, marvellous. You're going to kill me. What a finely tuned response to the situation.
- The Doctor (Frontios)

Sixth Doctor's Era

The Doctor: Unstable? Unstable? Unstable?! This is me, Peri! Right now I am as stable as you will ever see me! You must forget how I used to be. I'm a Time Lord. A man of science, temperament and passion!
Peri: And a very loud voice!
The Doctor: Yes, that too. But not unstable!
(Attack of the Cybermen)

[Two citizens of Varos contemplate their new-found freedom.]
Arak: No more executions, torture, nothing.
Etta: It's all changed. We're free.
Arak: Are we?
Etta: Yes.
Arak: What are we going to do?
Etta: [beat] Dunno.
(Vengeance on Varos)

Small though it is, the human brain can be quite effective when used properly.
- The Doctor (The Two Doctors)

Planets come and go. Stars perish. Matter disperses, coalesces, forms into other patterns, other worlds. Nothing can be eternal.
- The Doctor (The Mysterious Planet)

Seventh Doctor's Era

Belazs: What are you doing here?
The Doctor: That's a very difficult question. Why is everyone around here so preoccupied with metaphysics?
Glitz: I think she's going to kill us, Doctor.
The Doctor: Ah! An existentialist!
(Dragonfire)

[The Doctor explains the history of the Hand of Omega.]
The Doctor: It's called that because Time Lords have an infinite capacity for pretension.
Ace: Noticed that.
(Remembrance of the Daleks)

The Doctor: I don't suppose you've completely ignored my instructions and secretly prepared any Nitro-9, have you?
Ace: What if I had?
The Doctor: And naturally, you wouldn't do anything so insanely dangerous as to carry it around with you, would you?
Ace: Of course not. I'm a good girl and do what I'm told.
The Doctor: Excellent. Blow up that vehicle.
(Silver Nemesis)

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do.
- The Doctor (Survival) - what, like I could possibly miss this one?

Eighth Doctor's Era

The Doctor: So Ms. Bee, what's the rumpus? You crackin' foxy with me, or is you in trouble with the bricks? They gonna drag you down to the hole because some guy gets shot through the pump with a heater?
Charley: [beat] Are you all right?
(Invaders from Mars)

Ah, if only every murder could be determined by the shiftiness of the culprits' eyes.
- The Doctor (The Chimes of Midnight)

Are you confusing me with someone else? I'm not the one who says "you must obey me", I don't meddle, and I'm not a glamorous woman at the moment.
- The Doctor (Seasons of Fear)

Grace: Maybe you have selective amnesia brought on by shock.
The Doctor: Maybe. I can't remember.
(The Enemy Within)

Ninth Doctor's Era

D'you know like we were saying? About the Earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid, the first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it because everything looks like it's standing still. I can feel it- [he takes Rose's hand] -the turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour and the entire planet is hurtling around the Sun at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me. Clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go.... [beat. Drops her hand] That's who I am. Now forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home.
- The Doctor (Rose)

Who said you're not important? I've travelled to all sorts of places, done things you couldn't even imagine. But you two! Street corner, two in the morning, getting a taxi home. I've never had a life like that. Yes. I'll try to save you.
- The Doctor (Father's Day)

The Editor: Now there's an interesting point. Is a slave a slave if he doesn't know he's enslaved?
The Doctor: Yes.
The Editor: Aw. I was hoping for a philosophical debate, is that all I'm gonna get: "yes"?
The Doctor: Yes.
(The Long Game)

Jack: Who has a sonic screwdriver?
The Doctor: I do!
Jack: Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, "Ooo, this could be a little more sonic"?
The Doctor: What, you've never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?
(The Doctor Dances)

Tenth Doctor's Era (minus series four - no spoilers)

[The TARDIS materialises and The Doctor and Rose walk out]
The Doctor: I don't know what's wrong though, she's sort of... queasy. Indigestion. Like she didn't want to land.
Rose: [deadpan] Well... if you think it's going to be trouble we could always... get back inside and go somewhere else...
[They both burst out laughing]
(The Impossible Planet)

Sarah: I saw things you wouldn't believe!
Rose: Try me.
Sarah: Mummies.
Rose: I've met ghosts.
Sarah: Robots. Lots of robots.
Rose: Slitheen. In Downing Street.
Sarah: Daleks!
Rose: Met the Emperor.
Sarah: Anti-matter monsters!
Rose: Gas-mask zombies!
Sarah: Real living dinosaurs!
Rose: Real living werewolf!
Sarah: The. Loch Ness. Monster!
Rose: [beat] Seriously?
(School Reunion)

Crossing into established events is strictly forbidden. Except for cheap tricks.
- The Doctor (Smith and Jones)

Yeah, listen, listen. Gotta dash, things happening. Well, four things. Well, four things and a lizard.
- The Doctor (Blink)


There. That should tide me over for a while.

*beams* I like you. You are win.

OH PERI. I'm dying to get to Planet of Fire now.

And, and, "I made some cocoa and got engaged", hahaha. I just watched The Aztecs yesterday and I'm still overcome with sheer greatness.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I need to watch The Aztecs stat!!

I started compiling a *list* of quotes after first seeing this yesterday - glad I'm not the only one who considered it necessary (and interestingly I have some of the same quotes on my list!) I must finish my list off and then post it...

[livii.livejournal.com]

The fact Peri once outshouted the Master is providing me with some hope; I'm intending to watch a Six'n'Peri this week, and am trying to get enthusiastic about it. :D

The Impossible Planet quote is a fab fab addition; I know a lot of people who don't like that scene, but I think it's gorgeous. And so true.

[airie-fairy.livejournal.com]

PERI I LOVE YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH, IN A VOICE AS LOUD AS YOURS.

Also, Sarah's emphasis on "lots of robots." XD

[nentari.livejournal.com]

I must join in on the Peri love.

"What, you've never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?"
Heh. Never fails to crack me up.

[eers.livejournal.com]

OHMAIGOD. I need moar Who. Seriously.

[finmagik.livejournal.com]

You are made of pure win.

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

I made some cocoa and got engaged.

One of the single best lines in the history of Who.

Shit, there are so many good ones here I'd end up quoting them all back to you and that would be absurd. Suffice it to say, BRILLIANT PICKS!

[marycontraire.livejournal.com]

"Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, 'Ooo, this could be a little more sonic'?"

That bit NEVER fails to crack me up.
