Quotes

The Doctor : Once upon a time... Once upon a Time Lord... I had a best friend, and her name was Donna Noble. A Time Lord and a human... and we travelled the stars together.
Donna Noble : Sometimes I have dreams about impossible things. I dream of creatures and adventures and faraway skies. But none of it's true.
The Doctor : Donna saved the entire universe by taking the power of the Time Lords into her mind - at a terrible cost. She had to forget everything she ever knew. She had to forget me. Because if Donna ever remembers me, she will die.
Donna Noble : And now I've got a nice life, with a nice fella and a nice house, and the most beautiful daughter in the world... but I just think something's missing.
The Doctor : I can never see Donna again.
Donna Noble : Now the days are drawing in... I keep having more and more dreams. Like something's getting closer.
The Doctor : But now this face has come back. Why?
Donna Noble : It's like a storm in the air... about to break.
The Doctor : I think the story hasn't ended yet.
-
The Doctor : I really do remember, though. Every second with you. I'm so glad you're back, 'cause it killed me, Donna. It killed me, it killed me, it killed me.
Donna Noble : We can have more days, can't we? I mean, why is it such a big goodbye with you? Why is it one last trip? Cos you could visit with my family. We could do outrageous things, like have tea, or dinner, and a laugh. And Rose's school play. Well, maybe not that. She can't act. She's terrible. I don't know how to tell her. But the point is, you've been given a second chance. You can do things different this time. So why don't you do something completely new, and have some friends?
-
The Doctor : So you're Shaun Temple, which means that woman... your wife... That's Donna, is that right?
Shaun Temple : Yeah! How did you know that?
The Doctor : Oh, I know that friend of yours. Nerys.
Shaun Temple : Oh, Nerys! How is she?
The Doctor : She's fine.
Shaun Temple : After the accident.
The Doctor : She's not fine...
Shaun Temple : It was her fault.
The Doctor : She's BEEN fined. But she was saying about you and Donna. So... she's Donna Temple now?
Shaun Temple : No! Still Donna Noble. She refused to be Noble-Temple cos she says it...
The Doctor , Shaun Temple : ...sounds like an old ruin.

The Doctor : [Insulting the Meep] I name this ship the Delusions of Grandeur.

The Doctor : I need to get north. That explosion just now. Something crashed. Can you get me there?
Shaun Temple : Satnav says they're closing all the roads.
The Doctor : Oh, I know some roads even taxi drivers don't. Trust me.

The Doctor : [after giving Donna her preferred cup of coffee] I really do remember, though... every second with you- I'm so glad you're back, 'cause it killed me, Donna. It killed me, it killed me, it killed me.
-
The Doctor : We're binary.
Donna Noble : She's not, because the Doctor's...
The Doctor : ...male...
Donna Noble : ...and female.
Rose Noble : And neither. And more.

The Doctor : Yes. The Meep. I promise I can help him get home and then you'll never see me again.
Rose Noble : You're assuming "he" as a pronoun?
The Doctor : True. Yes. Sorry. Good point. Are you he or she or they?
The Meep : My chosen pronoun is the definite article. I am always the Meep.
-
Rose Temple-Noble : You're assuming "he" as a pronoun?
The Doctor : True. Oh, yes. Sorry, good point. Are you...?
The Meep : I am always the Meep.
The Doctor : Oh. I do that.

The Doctor : We've still got to fix you two, because the metacrisis might have slowed down, but that thing is wrapped around your cortex.
Donna Noble : Yes, we know.
Rose Noble : We know everything. Thanks.
Donna Noble : And you know nothing. It's a shame you're not a woman any more, cos she'd have understood.
Rose Noble : We've got all that power - but there is a way to get rid of it. Something a male-presenting Time Lord will never understand.
Donna Noble : Just let it go.
Rose Noble : And we choose to let it go.
