Quotes4

  • The Doctor: [transmitting to the alien fleet at and using Stonehenge with the local effect as though through a loud speaker] Sorry, sorry, dropped it. Hello, Stonehenge! Who takes the Pandorica takes the Universe! But, bad news everyone, 'cause guess who! Ha! Except, you lot, you're all whizzing about, it's really very distracting. Could you all just stay still a minute because
  • [shouts louder]
  • The Doctor: *I* *am* *talking*!
  • [all ships stop]
  • The Doctor: Now, the question for the hour is, "Who's got the Pandorica?" Answer: I do. Next question: "Who's coming to take it from me?"
  • [the Doctor gestures widely to all of the ships]
  • The Doctor: Come on, look at me! No plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn, oh, and something else I don't have: anything to lose! So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little space ships with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way! Remember every black day I ever stopped you, and then, *and then*, do the smart thing!
  • [pause]
  • The Doctor: [with normal tone but still amplified] Let somebody else try first.
  • [all ships flee]
  • Rory Williams: [impressed] Phew!
  • The Doctor: [tosses communicator to Rory] That'll keep 'em squabbling for half an hour.
  • Rory Williams: But I don't understand. Why am I here?
  • The Doctor: Because you are. The universe is big. It's vast and complicated and... ridiculous and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles, and... that's a theory. Nine hundred years, never seen one yet, but this would do me.
  • Rory Williams: I died and turned into a Roman. It's very distracting.
  • The Doctor: I'm missing something obvious, Rory! Something big, something right slap in front of me, I can feel it.
  • Rory Williams: Yeah, I think you probably are.
