Quotes20

  • The Doctor: Wait, I remember. I'm with my father, we're lying back in the grass, it's a warm Gallifreyan night...
  • Grace: Gallifreyan?
  • The Doctor: Gallifrey. Yes, this must be where I live. Now where is that?
  • Grace: I've never heard of it. What do you remember?
  • The Doctor: A meteor storm. The sky above us was dancing with lights. Purple, green, brilliant yellow. Yes!
  • Grace: What?
  • The Doctor: These shoes. They fit perfectly!
  • Grace: I finally meet the right guy, and he's from another planet.
  • The Doctor: I know who I am.
  • [Kisses Grace]
  • The Doctor: I am the Doctor.
  • Grace: Good. Now, do that again.
  • Grace: Listen, why don't you just have a seat and open your shirt? I want to listen to your heart.
  • The Doctor: Hearts. Plural.
  • Grace: Right! Right...
  • The Doctor: Grace, don't you see? I have thirteen lives.
  • Grace: Please! Okay, you're trying to tell me you've come back from the dead.
  • The Doctor: Yes.
  • Grace: No sorry. The dead stay dead. You can't turn back time.
  • The Doctor: Yes you can.
  • Grace: I'm not a child, don't talk to me like I'm a child. Only children believe that crap. I am a doctor.
  • The Doctor: But it was a childish dream that made you a doctor. You dreamed you could hold back death. Isn't that true?
  • [Grace looks back at the Doctor for a moment, astonished and then begins to walk away]
  • The Doctor: Don't be sad Grace. You'll do great things.
  • [explaining the Doctor's eccentricities]
  • Grace: He's British.
  • The Doctor: I suppose I am.
  • [offers a policeman candy]
  • The Doctor: Jelly baby?
  • [the Doctor and Grace are saying their final farewell's]
  • Grace: I'm going to miss you.
  • The Doctor: How can you miss me? I'm easy to find. I'm the guy with two hearts, remember?
  • Grace: That's not what I meant.
  • Grace: Professor Wagg! This is Professor Bowman. He's from London. He was just going to share a secret with us.
  • The Doctor: Erm, yes professor. Is there a chance of a closer look at the clock.
  • Professor Wagg: No! No. I'm afraid I am the the only person allowed up there.
  • The Doctor: Oh well, can't you bend the rules a little...
  • Professor Wagg: No.
  • The Doctor: Oh but you see...
  • Grace: [Interrupting the Doctor] Grace says you have a big secret. What is it?
  • The Doctor: [Taking Professor Wagg to one side] I'm half human.
  • [pause as Professor Wagg gives the Doctor an odd look]
  • The Doctor: On my mothers side.
  • Pete: [standing in front of the open freezer after the Doctor regenerated and walked out] It wasn't the same guy.
  • Grace: Sounds like you saw the guy stole the body.
  • Pete: He was wearing a shroud and a J.D. tag on his toe.
  • Grace: Somehow, I don't think the Second Coming happens here.
  • Pete: Right. You think he's gonna go to a BETTER HOSPITAL? You know what? I'm going home.
  • Grace: Hey, Pete. Stop by psychiatric and pick up some more mind altering drugs.
  • Pete: Okay, sure.
  • [the Doctor is driving crazily through San Francisco, with Grace clinging desperately to his back]

  • The Doctor: Yes?
  • Grace: I only have one life! Can you remember that?
  • The Doctor: [grinning happily] I'll try!
  • The Doctor: [Lee and Grace have come back to life] Well, congratulations. You've both been somewhere I've never been.
  • Grace: It's nothing to be scared of, Doctor.
  • The Doctor: I'm glad to hear it.

  • Grace: Gallifrey!
  • The Doctor: 250 million light years away.
  • Grace: Whoo.
  • The Doctor: It's a good ten minutes in this old thing.
  • Grace: This looks pretty low tech.
  • The Doctor: Low tech? Grace, this is a type 40 TARDIS, able to take you to any planet in the universe and to any date in that planet's existence. Temporal physics.
  • Grace: Ohhh. You mean like interdimensional transference. That would explain the spatial displacement we experienced as we passed over the threshold.
  • The Doctor: [stares at Grace] ... Yes, if you like.
  • Grace: Maybe you have selective amnesia brought on by shock.
  • The Doctor: Maybe. I don't remember.
  • [the Doctor and Grace are bickering in the back of an ambulance over the famous people from earths history who he has met. Grace clearly thinks he's mad]

  • [pulls Grace aside for a conversation while wavering the gun in the policeman's general direction]
  • Grace: Why a police box?
  • The Doctor: It's cloaking device got stuck on a previous misadventure.
  • [the Doctor joins Grace in the lift]
  • The Doctor: Puccini! We've met before!
  • Grace: Ah, I don't think so.
  • The Doctor: Yes, yes, yes, I think so! I know you! You're tired of life, but afraid of dying.
  • Grace: Tardis? What's a tardis?

  • The Doctor: [begins climbing up a ladder to the roof] You aren't afraid of heights, are you?
  • Grace: Yeah.
  • The Doctor: So am I.
