Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
The Beast Below
Tannoy: Welcome to London Market. You are being monitored.
Amy: I'm in the future. Like hundreds of years in the future. I've been dead for centuries.
The Doctor: Oh, lovely. You're a cheery one. Never mind dead, look at this place. Isn't it wrong?
Amy: What's wrong?
The Doctor: Come on, use your eyes. Notice everything. What's wrong with this picture?
Amy: Is it the bicycles? Bit unusual on a spaceship, bicycles.
The Doctor: Says the girl in the nightie.
Amy: Oh my God, I'm in my nightie.
The Doctor: Now, come on, look around you. Actually look.
Tannoy: London Market is a crime-free zone.
The Doctor: Life on a giant starship. Back to basics. Bicycles, washing lines, wind-up street lamps. But look closer. Secrets and shadows, lives led in fear. Society bent out of shape, on the brink of collapse. A police state.

Mandy: How do you not know about this? Are you Scottish too?
The Doctor: Oh, I'm way worse than Scottish. I can't even see the movie. Won't play for me.
Amy: It played for me.
The Doctor: The difference being the computer doesn't accept me as human.
Amy: Why not? You look human.
The Doctor: No, you look Time Lord. We came first.
Amy: So there are other Time Lords, yeah?
The Doctor: No. There were, but there aren't. Just me now. Long story. There was a bad day. Bad stuff happened. And you know what? I'd love to forget it all, every last bit of it, but I don't. Not ever. Because this is what I do, every time, every day, every second. This. Hold tight. We're bringing down the government.

Liz: You must be Amy. Liz. Liz Ten.
Amy: Hi.
Liz: Yuck. Lovely hair, Amy. Shame about the sick. You know Mandy, yeah? She's very brave.
The Doctor: How did you find us?
Liz: Stuck my gizmo on you. Been listening in. Nice moves on the hurl escape. So, what's the big fella doing here?
The Doctor: You're over sixteen, you've voted. Whatever this is, you've chosen to forget about it.
Liz: No. Never forgot, never voted, not technically a British subject.
The Doctor: Then who and what are you, and how do you know me?
Liz: You're a bit hard to miss, love. Mysterious stranger, M O consistent with higher alien intelligence, hair of an idiot. I've been brought up on the stories. My whole family was.
The Doctor: Your family?
Liz: They're repairing. Doesn't take them long. Let's move. The Doctor. Old drinking buddy of Henry Twelve. Tea and scones with Liz Two. Vicky was a bit on the fence about you, weren't she? Knighted and exiled you on the same day. And so much for the Virgin Queen, you bad, bad boy.
The Doctor: Liz Ten.
Liz: Liz Ten, yeah. Elizabeth the Tenth. And down!
(She turns, they duck, and she shoots the repaired Smilers again.) I'm the bloody Queen, mate. Basically, I rule.
