Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
Part 2: Nu Who
Rose
Rose: You pulled his arm off.
Doctor: Yep. Plastic.
Rose: Very clever. Nice trick! Who were they then, students? Is this a student thing or what?
Doctor: Why would they be students?
Rose: I don't know.
Doctor: Well, you said it. Why students?
Rose: 'Cos to get that many people dressed up and being silly, they got to be students.
Doctor: That makes sense. Well done.
Rose: Thanks.
Doctor: They're not students.
Rose: Whoever they are, when Wilson finds them, he's going to call the police.
Doctor: Who's Wilson?
Rose: Chief electrician.
Doctor: Wilson's dead.
Rose: That's just not funny. That's sick!
Doctor: Hold on. Mind your eyes.
Rose: I've had enough of this now.
(The Doctor disables the lift mechanism with his sonic screwdriver.) Who are you, then? Who's that lot down there? I said, who are they?
Doctor: They're made of plastic. Living plastic creatures. They're being controlled by a relay device in the roof, which would be a great big problem if I didn't have this.
(a small bomb) So, I'm going to go up there and blow them up, and I might well die in the process, but don't worry about me. No, you go home. Go on. Go and have your lovely beans on toast. Don't tell anyone about this, because if you do, you'll get them killed.
(He shuts the door behind him, then opens it again.) I'm the Doctor, by the way. What's your name?
Rose: Rose.
Doctor: Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!

Rose: If you are an alien, how comes you sound like you're from the North?
Doctor: Lots of planets have a north.
Rose: What's a police public call box?
Doctor: It's a telephone box from the 1950s. It's a disguise.
….............................................
Rose: A fat lot of good you were.
Doctor: Nestene Consciousness? Easy.
Rose: You were useless in there. You'd be dead if it wasn't for me.
Doctor: Yes, I would. Thank you. Right then, I'll be off, unless, er, I don't know, you could come with me. This box isn't just a London hopper, you know. It goes anywhere in the universe free of charge.
Mickey: Don't. He's an alien. He's a thing.
Doctor: He's not invited. What do you think? You could stay here, fill your life with work and food and sleep, or you could go anywhere.
Rose: Is it always this dangerous?
Doctor: Yeah.
Rose: Yeah, I can't. I've er, I've got to go and find my mum and someone's got to look after this stupid lump, so.
Doctor: Okay. See you around.
(The Tardis dematerialises.) Rose: Come on, let's go. Come on. Come on.
(The Tardis materialises.) Doctor: By the way, did I mention it also travels in time?
Rose: Thanks.
Mickey: Thanks for what?
Rose: Exactly.
(Rose kisses Mickey on the cheek and runs into the Tardis.)
