Quotes
-
The Doctor : [taking Rose's mobile phone] Tell ya what... with a little bit of jiggery pokery...
Rose Tyler : Is that a technical term, jiggery pokery?
The Doctor : Yeah, I came first in jiggery pokery, what about you?
Rose Tyler : Nah, I failed hullabaloo.
-
Rose Tyler : That was five billion years ago. So... my mum's dead. Five billion years later, and my mum's dead.
The Doctor : Bundle of laughs, you are.
-
The Doctor : You think it'll last forever, the people and cars and concrete. But it won't. One day it's all gone, even the sky. My planet's gone. It's dead. It burned like the Earth. It's rocks and dust before its time.
Rose Tyler : What happened?
The Doctor : There was a war, and we lost.
Rose Tyler : A war with who?
[the Doctor doesn't answer]
Rose Tyler : What about your people?
The Doctor : I'm a Time Lord. I'm the last of them. They're all gone. I'm the only survivor. I'm left travelling on my own because there's no-one else.
Rose Tyler : There's me.
-
The Doctor : Oh, she's not my wife.
Jabe : Partner?
The Doctor : No.
Jabe : Concubine?
The Doctor : Nope.
Jabe : Prostitute?
Rose Tyler : Whatever I am, it must be invisible - do you mind? Tell you what - you two go and pollenate - I'm gonna catch up with the family.
[points at Cassandra]
Rose Tyler : Quick word with Michael Jackson.
The Doctor : Don't start a fight.
[offers his arm to Jabe]
The Doctor : I'm all yours.
[she accepts his arm; both start to leave]
Rose Tyler : [to Doctor] And I want you home by midnight!
-
The Doctor : 10,000 years in the future. Step outside and it's the year 12005, the New Roman Empire.
Rose Tyler : You think you're so impressive.
The Doctor : I *am* so impressive!
Rose Tyler : You wish.
-
Cassandra : Oh, well, what do you know?
Rose Tyler : I was born on that planet. And so was my mum, and so was my dad. And that makes me officially the last human being in this room. 'Cause you're not human. You've had it all nipped and tucked and flattened till there's nothing left. Anything human got chucked in the bin. You're just skin, Cassandra. Lipstick and skin.
-
Rose Tyler : [talking to Raffalo the plumber] I just sort of hitched a lift with this... man. Didn't even think about it... I don't even know who he is... he's a complete stranger...
-
Rose Tyler : They all speak English.
The Doctor : No you just hear English. Its the gift of the TARDIS - the telepathic field gets inside your brain - translates.
Rose Tyler : Its inside my brain?
The Doctor : Well, in a good way!
-
Rose Tyler : Where are you from?
The Doctor : All over the place.
-
Rose Tyler : How many operations have you had?
Cassandra : 708. Next week its 709 - I'm having my blood bleached. Is that why you wanted a word? You could be flatter - you've got a little bit of a... chin... poking out.
Rose Tyler : I'd rather die.
Cassandra : Honestly, it doesn't hurt!
Rose Tyler : No, I mean it. I would rather die. It's better to die than to live like you - a bitchy trampoline.
-
The Doctor : The whole thing's jammed. I can't open the door. Stay there. Don't move!
Rose Tyler : Where am I gonna go - Ipswich?
-
Rose Tyler : [watches pieces of the destroyed Earth pass the window] The end of the earth. Its gone... we were too busy saving ourselves, no one saw it go. All those years, all that history and no one was even looking. It's just...
The Doctor : [holds his hand out to her] Come with me...
-
Rose Tyler : [talking to the potted cutting of Jabe's grandfather] Hello. My name's Rose... that's a sort of plant. We might be related.
[pauses]
Rose Tyler : I'm talking to a twig.
-
Rose Tyler : Your machine gets inside my head, it gets inside and it changes my mind and you didn't even ask?
The Doctor : I didn't think about it like that.
Rose Tyler : No, you were too busy thinking up cheap shots about the Deep South.
-
Rose Tyler : [Cassandra is dying] Help her.
The Doctor : Everything has its time and everything dies.
-
The Doctor : You've seen how dangerous it is - do you wanna go home?
Rose Tyler : I dunno... I want... Oh, can you smell chips?
The Doctor : Yeah!
[laughs]
The Doctor : Yeah!
Rose Tyler : I want chips.
The Doctor : Me too!
Rose Tyler : Right then, before you get me back in that box - chips it is - and you can pay.
The Doctor : No money.
Rose Tyler : What sort of date are you? Come on then, tight wad, chips are on me... we've only got five billion years till the shops close!
-
Rose Tyler : Is that why we're here? - I mean, is that what you do? Jump in at the last minute and save the Earth?
The Doctor : I'm not saving it. Time's up.
Rose Tyler : But what about the people?
The Doctor : It's empty. They've all gone. No one left.
Rose Tyler : [silent; looks at the Earth] Just me then.
The Steward : Who the hell are you?
-
The Doctor : There you go.
[gives Rose her mobile phone]
The Doctor : [the LCD moniter displays 'Mum'; Rose presses 'Call', and dials her mum. Jackie Tyler answers the phone]
Jackie Tyler : Hello?
Rose Tyler : Mum?
Jackie Tyler : [cuts to Jackie taking clothes out of the dryer] Oh, what is it? What's wrong? What have I done, now? Oh, this red top's falling to bits. You should get your money back. Go on! It must be something. You never phone in the middle of the day.
[Rose laughs]
Jackie Tyler : What's so funny?
Rose Tyler : Nothing. You're alright though?
Jackie Tyler : Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?
Rose Tyler : What day is it?
Jackie Tyler : Wednsday, all day. You got a hangover? Oh, I tell you what. Put a quid in that Lottery syndicate. I'll pay you back later.
Rose Tyler : Yeah, um. I was just calling 'cause I might be late home.
Jackie Tyler : Is there something wrong?
Rose Tyler : No, I'm-I'm fine.
[mildly laughing]
Rose Tyler : Top of the world.
Jackie Tyler : [Jackie hangs up]
The Doctor : Think that's amazing, you want to see the bill?
-
Rose Tyler : But hold on - they did this once on Newsround Extra - the sun expanding. That takes hundreds of years.
The Doctor : Millions! But the planet's now the property of the National Trust. They've been keeping it preserved. See down there? Gravity satellites holding back the sun.
Rose Tyler : The planet looks the same as ever! I thought the continents shifted and things.
The Doctor : They did, and the Trust shifted them back. That's a classic Earth. But now the money's run out, nature takes over.
-
Rose Tyler : They're just so alien. The aliens are so alien. You look at 'em, and they're alien.
The Doctor : Good thing I didn't take you to the deep south!
-
Rose Tyler : [about the Doctor's alien origins] Who are you then, Doctor? What you called? What sort of alien are you?
The Doctor : I'm just the Doctor.
Rose Tyler : From what planet?
The Doctor : Well, it's not as if you'd know where it is.
Rose Tyler : Where are you from?
The Doctor : What does it matter?
Rose Tyler : Tell me who you are!
The Doctor : This is who I am! Right here, right now! Alright? All that counts is here and now and this is me!
Rose Tyler : Yeah, and I'm here too 'cause you brought me here. So just tell me!
[Doctor stands and walks quickly to the window; clearly not wanting to say anything more]
-
Rose Tyler : So when it says guests, does that mean people?
The Doctor : Depends what you mean by people
Rose Tyler : I mean people. What do you mean?
The Doctor : Aliens.
Rose Tyler : What are they doing on board this spaceship? What's it all for?
The Doctor : It's not really a spaceship, more like an observation deck. The great and the good are gathering to watch the planet burn.
Rose Tyler : What for?
The Doctor : Fun. Mind you, when I say "the great and the good," what I mean is the rich.
-
Rose Tyler : [looking at the Earth] How long's it got?
The Doctor : About half an hour. Then the planet gets roasted.
-
Rose Tyler : [on the Steward, after Doctor explains the psychic paper] He's blue!
The Doctor : Yeah.
Rose Tyler : Okay.
-
The Doctor : Aye-aye! What d'you think then?
Rose Tyler : Great, yeah.Fine. Once you get past the slightly psychic paper.
