Doctor: [in a Scottish accent.] Oh, I'm - I'm dazed and confused. I've been chasing this... This wee naked child over hill and over dale. In't that right, ya... Timorous beastie?
Rose: [in a bad Scottish accent.] Ooch, aye! I've been oot and aboot.
Doctor: No, don't do that.
Rose: Hoots mon!
Doctor: No, really don't. Really.
Quotes from Christopher Eccleston movies and TV shows - page 3 of 3
The Face of Boe: I have grown tired with the universe, Doctor, but you have taught me to look at it anew.
Doctor: There are legends you know, saying that you're millions of years old.
The Face of Boe: There are? That would be impossible.
Doctor: Wouldn't it just? I got the impression... There was something you wanted to tell me...
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...
[He teleports himself away.]
Doctor: That is enigmatic. That...that is...that is textbook enigmatic.
The Christmas Invasion - S2-E2
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.
The Parting of the Ways (2) - S1-E13
Doctor: Rose...Before I go, I just wanna tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And d'you know what? So was I.
Rose: What's the emergency?
The Doctor: It's mauve.
Rose: Mauve?
The Doctor: The universally recognized colour for danger.
Rose: What happened to red?
The Doctor: That's just humans. By everyone else's standards, red's camp. Oh, the misunderstandings. All those red alerts, all that dancing.
The Doctor: I can't believe I'm here to see this! This is fantastic!
Rose: Did you know this was going to happen?
The Doctor: Nope!
Rose: Do you recognize the ship?
The Doctor: Nope!
Rose: Do you know why it crashed?
The Doctor: Nope!
Rose: Oh, I'm so glad I've got you.
The Sontaran Stratagem (1) - S4-E4
Doctor: Name?
Skarl: General Skarl of the tenth Sontaran battle fleet. Skarl the undefeated!
Doctor: Oh that's no good, what if you get defeated? Skarl the not-quite-so-undefeated-any-more-but-never-mind?
The Doctor: Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that...just kind. If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some of them might live. Maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey, you know, maybe there's no point in any of this, at all, but it's the best I could do. So I'm going to do it. And I will stand here, doing it, till it kills me. You're going to die, too! Some day. How will that be? Have you thought about it? What would you die for? Who I am is where I stand. Where I stand...is where I fall. Stand with me. These people are terrified. Maybe we can help, a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind? (00:33:55)
Mr. Copper: To repeat, I am Mr. Copper, the ship's historian, and I shall be taking you to old London Town in the country of UK, ruled over by Good King Wenceslas. Now, human beings worship the great god Santa, a creature with fearsome claws, and his wife Mary. And every Christmas Eve, the people of the UK go to war with the country of Turkey. They then eat the Turkey people for Christmas dinner, like savages.
The Doctor: Excuse me, sorry, sorry. But, um, where did you get all this from?
Mr. Copper: Well, I have a first class degree in Earthonomics.
The Return of Doctor Mysterio - S10-E1
The Doctor: [Looking at the Superman comic] Take a look at that picture.
Young Grant: OK.
The Doctor: Now, this one. Take a good, long look. Takes a moment to see it.
Young Grant: See what?
The Doctor: Superman and Clark Kent are one and the same person.
Young Grant: Are you serious?
The Doctor: Yeah. Look, I drew specs on Superman.
Young Grant: Everyone knows they're the same person.
The Doctor: Uh. Well, Lois Lane doesn't. And she's a reporter.
Dina: Kindness isn't exactly what I'm best known for.
Leo Zhukovsky: Then I'm in luck this evening.
Leo Zhukovsky: You seem to take all this talk of suffering and death very well.
Dina: I'm not easily scared.
Leo Zhukovsky: Not even by death?
Dina: Not even by that.
The Rider: A thousand years of waiting and what was there to show? Nothing! Nothing but a boy who could not do what was asked of him. Generations of hope and promise, all a waste. You know, I have something here you might recognize. Once before I made you an offer, Will. Now here it is again. Give me the signs and the boy will live.
Will Stanton: I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid to die.
The Rider: Who says it's you?
David Stephens: And how would you react, then, if I told you I was the Antichrist?
David Stephens: I've never seen a dead body before. I saw my grandmother of course, but I don't think that counts. I mean, she was alive at the time.
David Stephens: It's a sick idea Alex. It's sick.
Alex Law: Go ahead then, telephone. Telephone the police. Tell them it's a suitcase full of money and you don't want it.
David Stephens: Normally I don't usually meet people, unless I already know them.
David Stephens: You paid 500 pounds for this?
Juliet Miller: That's what it cost, David.
David Stephens: No, no, that's what you paid for it. 500 pounds is what you paid for it. We don't know how much it cost us yet. For you two to have a good time, we don't know the cost of that yet.
