Favorite Quotes
The Doctor: Black tie... Whenever I wear this, something bad always happens.
Martha: That's not the outfit, that's just you. But anyway, I think it suits you. In a... James Bond kinda way.
The Doctor: James Bond? Really...
~~~~~~~~~~~
Tish: He's a science geek, I should've known. Gotta get back to work now, I'll catch up with you. The Doctor: Science geek, what's that mean?
Martha: That you're obsessively enthusiastic about it.
The Doctor: [pleased] Oh, nice.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Doctor: Lovely to meet you, Mrs. Jones. I've heard a lot about you.
Mrs. Jones: Have you... What have you heard, then?
The Doctor: Oh, y'know, that you're Martha's mother, and... Uhm... no, actually, that's about it. We haven't had much time to chat. You know, been... busy.
Mrs. Jones: 'Busy'? Doing what, exactly?
The Doctor: Oh, y'know... stuff.

Lazarus: Ladies and gentlemen, I am Richard Lazarus. I am seventy-six years old and I am reborn!
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Doctor: Wouldn't have thought you'd have time for poetry, Lazarus, what with you being so busy defying the laws of nature and everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Doctor: Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.
Lazarus: But if it's the right person, what a gift that would be.
The Doctor: Or what a curse.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lazarus: More hide and seek, Doctor? How disappointing. Why don't you come out and face me?
The Doctor: Have you looked in the mirror lately? Why would I wanna face that?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lazarus: I swore I'd never face death like that again. So... defenseless. I would arm myself. Fight back. Defeat it.
The Doctor: That's what you were trying to do today.
Lazarus: That's what I did today.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lazarus: You're so sentimental, Doctor. Maybe you are older than you look.
The Doctor: I'm old enough to know that a longer life isn't always a better one. In the end, you just get tired. Tired of the struggle. Tired of losing everyone that matters to you. Tired of watching everything turn to dust. If you live long enough, Lazarus, the only certainty left is that you'll end up alone.
Lazarus: That's a price worth paying.
The Doctor: Is it?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Martha: I can't just keep going on like this, 'one more trip'. It's not fair.
The Doctor: What you talking about?
