The Doctor : I lied to you, 'cause I liked it. I could pretend, just for a bit, I could imagine they were still alive underneath the burnt orange sky. I'm not just a Time Lord: I'm the last of the Time Lords. The Face of Boe was wrong. There's no one else.
Martha Jones : What happened?
The Doctor : There was a war. A Time War. The last great Time War. My people fought a race called the Daleks for the sake of all creation, and they lost. We lost. Everyone lost. They're all gone now, my family, my friends, even that sky. Ah, you should have seen it, that old planet. The second sun would rise in the south, the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver. When they caught the light every morning, they lit the forest on fire. We always had...

The Doctor : New New York can start again. And they've got Novice Hame. Just what every city needs, cats in charge.

Thomas Kincade Brannigan : This Martha, she must mean a lot to you.
The Doctor : Hardly know her. I was too busy showing off.
-
The Doctor : Here we go.
[Hands his coat to Brannigan]
The Doctor : Looks after this. I love that coat. Janis Joplin gave me that coat.

Novice Hame : My lord gave his life to save the city and now he's dying.
The Doctor : No, don't say that. Not old Boe. Plenty of life left.
Face of Boe : It's good to breathe the air once more.
Martha Jones : Who is he?
The Doctor : don't even know. Legend says the Face of Boe has lived for billions of years. Isn't that right? And you're not about to give up now.
Face of Boe : Everything has its time. You know that, old friend, better than most.
Novice Hame : The legend says more...
The Doctor : Don't. There's no need for that.
Novice Hame : It says that the Face of Boe will speak his final secret to a traveller.
The Doctor : Yeah, but not yet. Who needs secrets, eh?
Face of Boe : have seen so much, perhaps too much. I am the last of my kind. As you are the last of yours, Doctor.
The Doctor : That's why we have to survive. Both of us. Don't go.

The Doctor : Novice Hane!
[he hugs her]
The Doctor : No, hold on get off, last time we met you were breeding humans for experimentation!

The Doctor : How about another planet?
Martha Jones : Can we go to yours?
The Doctor : Nah, there's plenty of other places.
Martha Jones : Come on, though. I mean "Planet of the Time Lords". That's gotta be worth a look. What's it like?
The Doctor : It's beautiful, yeah... The sky's burnt orange, with the citadel enclosed in a mighty glass dome, shining under the twin suns. Beyond that, the mountains go on forever. Slopes of deep red grass, capped with snow.
Martha Jones : Can we go there?
[pause]
The Doctor : Nah, where's the fun for me? I don't want to go home.

The Doctor : The Macra used to be the scourge of this galaxy. Gas... they fed off gas, the filthier the better. They built up a small Empire, using humans as slaves and mining gas for food.
Businessman : They don't exactly look like empire-builders to me.
The Doctor : Well, that was billions of years ago. Billions. They must have devolved down here; now they're just beasts. But they're still hungry. And my friend's down there.
-
The Doctor : You've been driving for two months?
Thomas Kincade Brannigan : Do I look like a teenager? We've been driving for 12 years now.
The Doctor : [in disbelief] Sorry?
Thomas Kincade Brannigan : Yeah, started out as newly weds. Feels like yesterday.
Valerie Brannigan : Feels like 12 years to me.

Businessman : Excuse me. Is that legal?
The Doctor : Sorry, motorway patrol
[coughs]
The Doctor : whatever. Have you got any water?
Businessman : Certainly, I'll not let it be said I've lost my manners.

Martha Jones : Are they selling drugs?
The Doctor : I think they're selling moods.
Martha Jones : Same thing, isn't it?
