Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
The Ghost Monument
Epzo: Right, blast shields up. Don't know how long they'll last for, though.
The Doctor: Brilliant. About to crash land on Desolation. Real grounds for optimism.
Epzo: Do you not understand anything? I can't even get us there, because of the fuel... because of the fuel I've wasted scooping you up.
Yasmin: I'm on a spaceship. Okay.
The Doctor: I can get us into the atmosphere if we jettison the rear section.
Epzo: Listen to me. Nobody is jettisoning anything. This is the Cerebos, all right? She's the envy of millions.
The Doctor: Really?
Epzo: Yes, people have written songs about her.
The Doctor: They'll be writing operas about our pointless deaths if we don't take drastic action right now.
Yasmin: We're about to die?
The Doctor: Oh, sorry, Yaz, I forgot you were there. All going to be fine
**************************************************
Yasmin: You can be honest with me. Are we going to die?
The Doctor: One day, yes. Comes to us all. But not right now, not if I've got anything to do with it.
**************************************************
Yasmin: I've got a couple of questions.
Graham: A couple? I've got a book full.
**************************************************
The Doctor: What are you doing?
Ryan: Fighting back.
The Doctor: No. Guns, never use 'em.
Ryan: They're shooting at us.
The Doctor: I know.
Ryan: They're going to kill us with their guns!
Graham: He's got a point, Doc.
The Doctor: Put the gun down, Ryan.
Ryan: What's your better idea?
The Doctor: Out-think them.
Graham: You can't out-think bullets.
The Doctor: Been doing it all my life.
Ryan: Uh-uh. Sorry. Call of Duty, man. I've trained for this.
(So Ryan runs outside, yelling and shooting.) Argh! Who's next? See, that's what I'm talking about! That's how you deal with things. Taking out the aliens!
(Which get back up again.) No, no, no! Where's the reload? Where's the reload? Where's the reload!
(And runs back inside screaming.) The Doctor: Made it worse?
Ryan: Just a little bit, yeah.
The Doctor: Now do you see why I don't like guns?
**************************************************
(The distant wheeze of a time engine.) Yasmin: Can you hear that noise?
(And again, commonly referred to in subtitles as Vworp.) The Doctor: Come on, please. Give us this.
(activates the Sheffield sonic) It's all right, it's me! Stabilise. Come to Daddy. I mean Mummy. I mean, I really need you right now.
(The Tardis materialises with a decisive thud.) My beautiful Ghost Monument.
(runs over to her) Hello, you. I've missed you. Ah, you've done yourself up. Very nice. Lost my key. Sorry.
(The Tardis door opens.)
**************************************************
The Doctor: Oh. You've redecorated. I really like it. This is my Tardis.
Yasmin: Wow.
Ryan: Yeah.
Graham: It was a police box.
The Doctor: It still is on the outside.
Graham: How do you fit all this stuff inside a police box?
The Doctor: Dimensional engineering.
Yasmin: You can't engineer dimensions.
The Doctor: Maybe you can't.
Ryan: Can I press any of...?
The Doctor: No.
Graham: It's a spaceship?
The Doctor: And a timeship.
Ryan: Get out.
The Doctor: Seriously.
Ryan: This... is proper... awesome.
The Doctor: I thought maybe you didn't believe me that I'd get you home.
Yasmin: I thought you didn't believe yourself for a second back there.
The Doctor: Who, me? No. Never doubted. Don't know what you mean. Home, then?
Yasmin: You can get us there? Really?
The Doctor: Start believing.
