Doctor: See, there's the thing. I'm the Doctor, but beyond that, I - I just don't know. I literally do not know who I am. It's all untested. Am I funny? Am I sarcastic? Sexy? Right old misery? Life and soul? Right-handed? Left-handed? A gambler? A fighter? A coward? A traitor? A liar? A nervous wreck? I mean, judging by the evidence, I've certainly got a gob.

Doctor: These human beings. Consider their potential. From the day they arrive on the planet and blinking step into the sun. There is more to see than can ever be seen. More to do than - no, hold on...Sorry, that's 'The Lion King'. But the point still stands. Leave them alone!

The Face of Boe: A great secret.

Doctor: So the legend says.

The Face of Boe: It can wait.

Doctor: Oh, does it have to?

The Face of Boe: We shall meet again, Doctor, for the third time... for the last time... and the truth shall be told. Until that day...

Doctor: No, don't do that.

Rose: Hoots mon!

Doctor: No, really don't. Really.

But your world is steeped in terror and blasphemy and death and I will not allow it! You will leave this shores and you will reflect, I hope, on how you managed to stray so far from all that is good.
