Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
Oxygen
The Doctor [OC]: Space, the final frontier. Final because it wants to kill us. Sometimes we forget that, start taking it all for granted. The suits, the ships, the little bubbles of safety, as they protect us from the void. But the void is always waiting.

************************************************** **

The Doctor: So, how does space kill you? I'm glad you asked. The main problem is pressure. There isn't any. So, don't hold your breath or your lungs will explode. Blood vessels rupture. Exposed areas swell. Fun fact! The boiling temperature of water is much lower in a vacuum. Which means that your sweat and your saliva will boil, as will the fluid around your eyes. You won't notice any of this because fifteen seconds in, you've passed out as oxygen bubbles formed in your blood. And ninety seconds in, you're dead. Any questions? (He has joined various stars on the blackboard with lines to create a skull. A girl student raises her hand.) Yes.
Student: What's this got to do with crop rotation?
(Nardole is watching from the side.)
The Doctor: Er, I dunno. But space is great, isn't it?

*************************************************

Nardole: I'm worried you're thinking about taking another trip, sir.
The Doctor: I'm here, I'm guarding the vault. What do you want from me?
Nardole: The truth.
The Doctor: Don't be unreasonable.

*************************************************

Bill: Do people ever hit you?
The Doctor: Well, only when I'm talking.

*************************************************

The Doctor: It's fried, should be safe.
Nardole: Er, you thought you were safe before.
The Doctor: Yes, well, I'm bound to be right eventually, aren't I?

******************************************

Bill: You're blind.
The Doctor: I am? Well, that explains the bruised shins. (Bill hugs him.) Oh, don't get all gooey on me. It's temporary.
Bill: Really?
The Doctor: Yeah. Once we get back to the Tardis.
Bill: The Tardis?
The Doctor: I've got stuff in there that'll cure anything. Failing that, I think I've got some spare eyes somewhere. They're from a lizard, but I'm sure they'll fit.
Bill: So er, until then?
The Doctor: Until then what? You really think this is going to slow me down? I do most of my best work ordering other people around.
