Oops/Meme

Well so I kinda forgot about this. Oops. This isn't strictly a post either but a meme that's going around the Who fandom like the flu and i just couldn't resist joining in. But, as I lack a fic journal, I am posting this here

Day 01 - Your Favourite Quote

Oh Where to start! This is going to be a long list, bear with me...

"This is my timey-wimey detector. It goes ding when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at 30 paces, whether you want it to or not, actually, so I've learned to stay away from hens. It's not pretty when they blow. "

"Yeah, listen, listen, got to dash... things happening. Well... four things. Well... four things and a lizard."

"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff... "

"The angels have the phone box"

" I shall be taking you to Old London town in the country of UK, ruled over by Good King Wenceslas. Now human beings worship the great god Santa, a creature with fearsome claws and his wife Mary. And every Christmas Eve, the people of UK go to war with the country of Turkey. They then eat the Turkey people for Christmas dinner, like savages."

"I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old, and I'm the man who's gonna save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?"

"Mr Copper: [on Christmas] It's a festival of violence! They say that human beings only survive depending on whether they've been good or bad! It's barbaric!
The Doctor: Actually, that's not true. Christmas is a time of, of peace, and thanksgiving, and... What am I on about? My Christmases are always like this!"

"The Doctor: I just want a mate!
Donna: You're not mating with me, sunshine!
The Doctor: A mate! I want a mate!"

"You fought it off with a water pistol! I bloody love you!"

"General Staal: General Staal of the Tenth Sontaran battle fleet. "Staal The Undefeated!"
Doctor: Oh that's no good. What if you get defeated? "Staal The Not-Quite-So-Undefeated-Any-More-But-Never-Mind?"

" He saves planets, rescues civilizations, defeats terrible creatures... and runs a lot. Seriously, there is an outrageous amount of running involved."

"I'll just step into this police box and arrest myself"

"Adelaide: State your name, rank, and intention!
The Doctor: The Doctor. Doctor. Fun."

"I'm looking for a blonde in a Union Jack. A specific one, mind you, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving."

"Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks 'Ooh, this could be a little more sonic'"

"Well, I've got a banana, and in a pinch, you could put up some shelves."

"The Doctor: Mister Spock?
Rose Tyler: What was I supposed to say? You don't have a name! Don't you ever get tired of "Doctor"? Doctor Who?
The Doctor: Nine centuries in, I'm coping."

"Mrs. Harcourt: My leg's grown back! When I come to the hospital, I had one leg...
Doctor Constantine: Well, there is a war on... is it possible you miscounted?"

"The Doctor: Who am I to argue with history?
Rose Tyler: Usually the first in line."

"The Doctor: Funny little human brains... How do you get around in those things?
Rose Tyler: When he's stressed, he likes to insult species.
The Doctor: Rose, I'm thinking.
Rose Tyler: Cuts himself shaving, does half an hour on life forms he's cleverer than."

"I'm the Doctor; I'm worse than everyone's aunt! ...And that is not how I'm introducing myself."

"Amy: Have you ever run away from something because you were scared, or not ready, or just... just because you could?
The Doctor: Once. A long time ago.
Amy: What happened?
The Doctor: ...Hello!"

"The Doctor: The writing... the graffiti: Old High Gallifreyan. The lost language of the Time Lords. There were days, there were many days, where these words could burn stars, raise up empires, and topple gods.
Amy: What does this one say?
The Doctor: ..."Hello sweetie"."

"Amy Pond: What if the gravity fails?
The Doctor: I've thought about that.
Amy Pond: And?
The Doctor: We will all plunge to our deaths. See? I've thought about it!"

"There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with a stick."

"Ah, here we go. Oh, my boys, my poncho boys, if we're going to die, let's go out looking like a Peruvian folk band."

"Amy: That's breaking and entering!
The Doctor: What did I break? Sonic-ing and entering, totally different."

"He is too skinny for words. You give him a hug you get a paper cut!"

" I'm stuck...on Earth like....like an ordinary person. Like a human! How rubbish is that? Sorry, no offense. But come on! "

"Donna Noble: Let me distract this one. I've picked up a few womanly wiles over the years.
The Doctor: Let's... save your wiles for later. ...In case of emergency."

"Ah! I'm thick! Look at me, I'm old and thick! Head's too full of stuff! I need a bigger head! "

"The Doctor: Nice door skills, Donna.
Donna Noble: Yeah, well, you know. Boyfriends. Sometimes you need the element of surprise."

"I'll try my hardest not to die. Honestly, it's the main thing."

"Everyone knows that everyone dies. And nobody knows it like the doctor. But I do think that all the skies in all the worlds might just turn dark, if he ever accepts it."

"Donna Noble: I made up the perfect man. Gorgeous, adores me, and hardly able to speak a word. What does that say about me?
The Doctor: Everything. ...Sorry, did I say "everything"? I meant to say "nothing". I was aiming for "nothing", accidentally said "everything"."

"Box falls out of the sky, man falls out of a box, man eats fish custard!"

"Do I have a face that nobody listens to? Again!"

"Well I just saved the world... the whole planet for about the millionth time, no charge, yeah, shoot me, I kept the clothes"

"I don't know! It's a thing in progress! Respect the thing."

"Blimey! Fish from space have never been so... buxom! "

"Tell me the whole plan! ...One of these days, that will work."

"Amy Pond: Shall I run and get the manual?
The Doctor: I threw it in a supernova.
Amy Pond: You threw the manual in a supernova... why?
The Doctor: Because I disagreed with it."

"Excuse me! I am making sense, you just aren't keeping up!"

"Don't dis the sonic!"

" Is this how time normally passes? Really really slowly, and in the right order?"

"Amy: Please tell me you have a plan."
The Doctor: No, I have a thing. It's like a plan, but with more greatness."

"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant."

"Annihilate? No. No violence, do you understand me? Not while I'm around. Not today, not ever. I'm the Doctor, the Oncoming Storm. ...And you basically meant beat them in a football match, didn't you?"

"The Doctor: You graffitied the oldest cliff face in the universe.
River Song: You wouldn't answer your phone."

"The Doctor: Okay, need a proper look. Gotta draw its fire, give it a target.
Amy: How?
Doctor: You know how I sometimes have really brilliant ideas?
Amy: Yes...
The Doctor: Sorry.
[The Doctor runs out from behind the Pandorica]
The Doctor: Look at me; I'm a target!"

"The Doctor: How can you be here?
Rory: Well - I don't know. It's... kinda fuzzy.
The Doctor: Fuzzy...
Rory: Well, I died, and turned into a Roman. It's very distracting."

"Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, in which case always ignore a coincidence."

"River Song: I have questions, but number one is this: What in the name of sanity have you got on your head?
The Doctor: It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool."

"Jackie Tyler, Rose's mum... now, where the hell is my daughter?"

And two Torchwood quotes I couldn't resist adding:
"Excuse me, have you seen a blowfish driving a sports car?"
"Hey! Sometimes a little technobabble is good for the soul!"



But... for all of those wonderful wonderful gems, my absolute favourite is:
"Amy Pond: I thought... well, I started to think you were just a madman with a box.
The Doctor: Amy Pond, there's something you better understand about me, 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. I am definitely a madman with a box!


(looking back I realize that a vast majority of my favourite quotes were written by Steven Moffat, he really is the king of the one liner on Doctor Who)
