Quotes
-
The Doctor : Never be cruel, and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.
-
The Doctor : Stories... are where memories go when they are forgotten.
-
The Doctor : When Time Lords die, their minds are uploaded to a thing called the Matrix. This structure is like a living computer, it can predict the future, generate prophesies out of algorithms, ring the cloister bells in the event of impending catastrophe. The Sliders, they're just like the guard dogs - firewall - projections from inside the Matrix itself. The dead manning the battlements.
Clara : Was I supposed to understand any of that?
The Doctor : The Time Lords have got a big computer made of ghosts in a crypt guarded by more ghosts.
Clara : Didn't hurt, did it?
The Doctor : Tiny bit.

The Doctor : A long time ago, there was a student at the Academy. He got in here, disappeared for four days. Showed up in a completely different part of the city. Said the Sliders talked to him, they showed him the secret passage out. We just need the code.
Clara : What, and the kid told you the secret?
The Doctor : Ah, no. He didn't tell anyone anything. He went completely mad. Never right in the head again... so they say.
Clara : Okay, that's encouraging.
The Doctor : The last I heard, he stole the moon and the President's wife.
Clara : Was she, um, was she nice? The President's wife?
The Doctor : Ah, well, that was a lie put about by the Sheboglans. It was the President's *daughter*. I didn't steal the moon, I lost it...
Clara : [smiling] I'd know you anywhere.
-
Clara : Is it a sad song?
The Doctor : Nothing's sad till it's over; then everything is.

The Doctor : Never eat pears. They're too squishy and they always make your chin wet. That one's quite important, write it down.

Clara : You've been travelling?
The Doctor : Yeah, from time to time.

The General : Isn't this going a little far?
The Doctor : Oh. I've barely started.

The President : You have nothing, Doctor. Nothing! Do you know what I have, out here in the dry lands, where there's nobody who matters?

The Doctor : Me too.
-
Clara : So, you went back to your hometown?
The Doctor : Something like that.
Clara : Glasgow?
The Doctor : Ah, well, sort of Glas... "Space Glasgow".
-
The Doctor : You're English?
Clara : You're not.
The Doctor : How did you get out here?
Clara : Magic. Or maybe I went to an airport and caught a plane. You?
The Doctor : Magic.

Ohila : [talking with the Doctor about Rassilon] Why did you banish him? Was it punishment or for your own protection? Are you just being cruel or just being cowardly?
The Doctor : Let's see, shall we?
-
The Doctor : What do you say to lunch, followed by breakfast, because we're time travelers and that's how we roll.
