Quotes
-
Walter : We don't got any ill feeling towards the doc, we just thinking about our families. Hand him over and we all safe again.
The Doctor : You know I can't do that.
Walter : [pulling his coat aside to reveal his gun] Then we got us a problem.
The Doctor : Please don't do this.
Walter : Why? Reckon you're quicker than me?
The Doctor : Oh, most certainly not, but this? Lynch mobs? The town turning against itself? This is everything Isaac didn't want.
[Walter draws his gun and stares down the Doctor]
The Doctor : How old are you?
Walter : Nearly nineteen.
The Doctor : [slowly moves forward] That's eighteen, then. Too young to have fought in the war, so I'm guessing you've never shot anyone before, have you?
Walter : [cocks the gun] First time for everything.
The Doctor : But that's how all this started. Jex turned someone into a weapon. Now that same story's going to make you into a killer, too. Don't you see? Violence doesn't end violence, it extends it.
[Walter hesitates]
The Doctor : Now I don't think you want to do this. I don't think you want to become that man.
Walter : There's kids here.
The Doctor : I know... who I can save if you'll let me.
Walter : [nods toward the jailhouse] He really worth the risk?
The Doctor : Don't know. But you are.
[Walter pauses a few moments, then lowers his gun, and the mob quietly disperses]
The Doctor : [to himself] Frightened people. Give me a Dalek any day.
