    The crownless again shall be king.”

    “The Doctor: Hello, I've come to see the Lord Mayor.
    Idris Hopper: Have you got an appointment?
    The Doctor: No, just an old friend passing by, bit of a surprise. Can't wait to see her face!
    Idris Hopper: Well, she's just having a cup of tea.
    The Doctor: Just go in there and tell her "the Doctor" would like to see her.
    Idris Hopper: "The Doctor" who?
    The Doctor: Just "The Doctor". Tell her exactly that, "The Doctor".
    Idris Hopper: Hang on a tic.
    [Idris goes inside. There is the sound of a teacup smashing and Idris returns.]
    Idris Hopper: The Lord Mayor says "thank you f-for popping by." She'd love to have a chat, but, um, she's up to her eyes in paperwork. Perhaps you would like to make an appointment for next week...
    The Doctor: [happily] She's climbing out the window, isn't she?
    Idris Hopper: Yes, she is.”

    “There's one thing you don't put in a trap, if you're smart, if you value your continued existance, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there is one thing you never ever put in a trap.

    Me”

    “ Dalek Sec: The Doctor will open the Ark!
    The Doctor: Ha ha, the Doctor will not.
    Dalek Sec: You have no way of resisting!
    The Doctor: Mm, you got me there. [withdrawing the sonic screwdriver] Although, there is always this.
    Dalek Sec: A sonic probe?
    The Doctor: [with jocular bravado] That's screwdriver.
    Dalek Sec: It is harmless.
    The Doctor: Ohh, yes. Harmless is just the word: that's why I like it! Doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim. But I'll tell you what it does do: It is very good at opening doors. [He pushes the switch and the doors explode inwards; Jake's squad and some Cybermen run in and open fire.] ”

    “Demons run when a good man goes to war
    Night will fall and drown the sun
    When a good man goes to war

    Friendship dies and true love lies
    Night will fall and the dark will rise
    When a good man goes to war

    Demons run, but count the cost
    The battle's won, but the child is lost”

    “It's hard to talk about the importance of an imaginary hero. But heroes ARE important: Heroes tell us something about ourselves.
    History tells us who we used to be, documentaries tell us who we are now; but heroes tell us who we WANT to be.
    And a lot of our heroes depress me.
    But when they made this particular hero, they didn't give him a gun--they gave him a screwdriver to fix things. They didn't give him a tank or a warship or an x-wing fighter--they gave him a box from which you can call for help. And they didn't give him a superpower or pointy ears or a heat-ray--they gave him an extra HEART. They gave him two hearts! And that's an extraordinary thing.
    There will never come a time when we don't need a hero like the Doctor.”
    Steven Moffat
