Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

Vincent And The Doctor

The Doctor: Excuse me. If I can just interrupt for one second. Sorry, everyone. Routine inspection, Ministry of Art and Artiness. So, er
Black: Doctor Black.
The Doctor: Yes, that's right. Do you know when that picture of the church was painted?
Black: Ah, well, ah, well, what an interesting question. Most people imagine
The Doctor: I'm going to have to hurry you. When was it?
Black: Exactly?
The Doctor: As exactly as you can. Without a long speech, if poss. I'm in a hurry.
Black: Well, in that case, probably somewhere between the first and third of June.
The Doctor: What year?
Black: 1890. Less than a year before, before he killed himself.
The Doctor: Thank you, sir. Very helpful indeed. Nice bow-tie. Bow-ties are cool.
Black: Yours is very
The Doctor: Oh, thank you. Keep telling them stuff. We need to go.
Amy: What about the other pictures?
The Doctor: Art can wait. This is life and death. We need to talk to Vincent Van Gogh.

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

Amy: You do have a plan, don't you?
The Doctor: No. It's a thing. It's like a plan, but with more greatness.

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

The Doctor: And you'll be sure to tell me if you see any, you know, monsters.
Vincent: Yes. While I may be mad, I'm not stupid.
The Doctor: No. Quite. And, to be honest, I'm not sure about mad either. It seems to me depression is a very complex
Vincent: Shush. I'm working.
The Doctor: Well, yes. Paint. Do painting! I remember watching Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel. Wow! What a whinger. I kept saying to him, look, if you're scared of heights, you shouldn't have taken the job then.
Amy: Shush.
The Doctor: And Picasso. What a ghastly old goat. I kept telling him, concentrate, Pablo. It's one eye, either side of the face.
Amy: Quiet.
(Later, an owl hoots. The picture is almost finished.)
The Doctor: Is this how time normally passes? Really slowly. In the right order. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's an unpunctual alien attack.
Amy: Are you okay? You seem a bit, if I didn't know you better, I'd say nervous.
The Doctor: Yes, there's something not right and I can't quite put my finger on it.
Vincent: There. He's at the window.
The Doctor: Where?
Vincent: There, on the right.
The Doctor: As I thought. Come on. I'm going in.
Vincent: Well I'm coming too.
The Doctor: No! You're Vincent Van Gogh. No.
Vincent: But you're not armed.
The Doctor: I am.
Vincent: What with?
The Doctor: Overconfidence, this (pats bag), and a small screwdriver. I'm absolutely sorted. Just have to find the right crosactic setting and stun him with it. Sonic never fails. Anyway, Amy, only one thought, one simple instruction. Don't follow me under any circumstances.
Amy: I won't.
Vincent: Will you follow him?
Amy: Of course.
Vincent: I love you.

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

The Doctor: Right. Okay. Here's the plan. Amy, Rory.
Amy: Who?
The Doctor: Sorry. Er, Vincent.
Amy: What is the plan?
The Doctor: I don't know, actually. My only definite plan is that in future I'm definitely just using this screwdriver for screwing in screws

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

The Doctor: Doctor Black, we met a few days ago. I asked you about the church at Auvers.
Black: Oh, yes. Glad to be of help. You were nice about my tie.
The Doctor: Yes. And today is another cracker if I may say so. But I just wondered, between you and me, in a hundred words, where do you think Van Gogh rates in the history of art?
Black: Well, big question, but to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly, the most popular great painter of all time. The most beloved. His command of colour, the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world. No one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world's greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.
(Vincent bursts into tears.)
The Doctor: Vincent. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Is it too much?
Vincent: No. They are tears of joy. Thank you, sir. Thank you.
(Vincent kisses Doctor Black on both cheeks and hugs him.)
Black: You're welcome. You're welcome.
Vincent: Sorry about the beard.
(Black takes a few steps, stops, turn then mouths No.)

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

The Lodger

The Doctor: I'm your new lodger. Do you know, this is going to be easier than I expected.
(The Doctor takes the fluffy pink keys from Craig. There is a Bluetooth device in his ear.)
Craig: But I only put the advert up today. I didn't put my address.
The Doctor: Well, aren't you lucky I came along? More lucky than you know. Less of a young professional, more of an ancient amateur, but frankly I'm an absolute dream.
Craig: Hang on a minute, mate. I don't know if I want you staying. And give me back those keys. You can't have those.
The Doctor: Yes, quite right. Have some rent. (The Doctor hands Craig a paper take-away bag with lots of twenty pound notes in it.) That's probably quite a lot, isn't it? Looks like a lot. Is it a lot? I can never tell. (They go into the hallway. The lights upstairs are flickering.) Don't spend it all on sweets, unless you like sweets. I like sweets. Ooo. (The Doctor gives Craig a couple of air kisses about six inches from each cheek.) That's how we greet each other nowadays, isn't it? I'm the Doctor. Well, they call me the Doctor. I don't know why. I call me the Doctor, too. Still don't know why.
Craig: Craig Owens. The Doctor?
The Doctor: Yep. Who lives upstairs?
Craig: Just some bloke.
The Doctor: What's he look like?
Craig: Normal. He's very quiet. (Crash.) Usually. Sorry, who are you again? Hello?

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

Craig: Oh, that was incredible. That was absolutely brilliant. Where did you learn to cook?
The Doctor: Paris, in the eighteenth century. No, hang on, that's not recent, is it? Seventeenth? No, no, no. Twentieth. Sorry, I'm not used to doing them in the right order.
Craig: Has anyone ever told you that you're a bit weird?
The Doctor: They never really stop. Ever been to Paris, Craig?
Craig: Nah. I can't see the point of Paris. I'm not much of a traveller.
The Doctor: I can tell from your sofa.
Craig: My sofa?
The Doctor: You're starting to look like it.

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

Sean: You are so on the team. Next week we've got the Crown and Anchor. We're going to annihilate them.
The Doctor: Annihilate? No. No violence, do you understand me? Not while I'm around. Not today, not ever. I'm the Doctor, the Oncoming Storm, and you basically meant beat them in a football match, didn't you?
Sean: Yeah.
The Doctor: Lovely. What sort of time?

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

The Doctor: Craig, you can shut down the engine. Put your hand on the panel and concentrate on why you want to stay.
Sophie: Craig, no.
Craig: Will it work?
The Doctor: Yes.
Craig: Are you sure?
The Doctor: Yes.
Craig: Is that a lie?
The Doctor: Of course it's a lie.
Craig: It's good enough for me. Geronimo!
