Quotes 

• The Doctor : Wait, I remember. I'm with my father, we're lying back in the grass, it's a warm Gallifreyan night...

  Grace : Gallifreyan?

  The Doctor : Gallifrey. Yes, this must be where I live. Now where is that?

  Grace : I've never heard of it. What do you remember?

  The Doctor : A meteor storm. The sky above us was dancing with lights. Purple, green, brilliant yellow. Yes!

  Grace : What?

  The Doctor : These shoes. They fit perfectly!

• Grace : I finally meet the right guy, and he's from another planet.

• The Doctor : I know who I am.

  [Kisses Grace] 

  The Doctor : I am the Doctor.

  Grace : Good. Now, do that again.

• The Doctor : Grace, don't you see? I have thirteen lives.

  Grace : Please! Okay, you're trying to tell me you've come back from the dead.

  The Doctor : Yes.

  Grace : No sorry. The dead stay dead. You can't turn back time.

  The Doctor : Yes you can.

  Grace : I'm not a child, don't talk to me like I'm a child. Only children believe that crap. I am a doctor.

  The Doctor : But it was a childish dream that made you a doctor. You dreamed you could hold back death. Isn't that true?

  [Grace looks back at the Doctor for a moment, astonished and then begins to walk away] 

  The Doctor : Don't be sad Grace. You'll do great things.

• [explaining the Doctor's eccentricities]

• [the Doctor and Grace are saying their final farewell's] 

  Grace : I'm going to miss you.

  Grace : That's not what I meant.

• Grace : Professor Wagg! This is Professor Bowman. He's from London. He was just going to share a secret with us.

  The Doctor : Erm, yes professor. Is there a chance of a closer look at the clock.

  Professor Wagg : No! No. I'm afraid I am the the only person allowed up there.

  The Doctor : Oh well, can't you bend the rules a little...

  Professor Wagg : No.

  The Doctor : Oh but you see...

  Grace : [Interrupting the Doctor]  Grace says you have a big secret. What is it?

  The Doctor : [Taking Professor Wagg to one side]  I'm half human.

  [pause as Professor Wagg gives the Doctor an odd look] 

  The Doctor : On my mothers side.

• Pete : [standing in front of the open freezer after the Doctor regenerated and walked out]  It wasn't the same guy.

  Grace : Sounds like you saw the guy stole the body.

  Pete : He was wearing a shroud and a J.D. tag on his toe.

  Grace : Somehow, I don't think the Second Coming happens here.

  Pete : Right. You think he's gonna go to a BETTER HOSPITAL? You know what? I'm going home.

  Grace : Hey, Pete. Stop by psychiatric and pick up some more mind altering drugs.

  Pete : Okay, sure.

• The Doctor : [Lee and Grace have come back to life]  Well, congratulations. You've both been somewhere I've never been.

  Grace : It's nothing to be scared of, Doctor.

  The Doctor : I'm glad to hear it.

• The Doctor : [showing Lee and Grace a view of the universe, the Doctor points to a planet]  Look over there. On the other side of your galaxy. That's home.

  Grace : Gallifrey!

  The Doctor : 250 million light years away.

  Grace : Whoo.

  The Doctor : It's a good ten minutes in this old thing.

• Grace : This looks pretty low tech.

  The Doctor : Low tech? Grace, this is a type 40 TARDIS, able to take you to any planet in the universe and to any date in that planet's existence. Temporal physics.

  Grace : Ohhh. You mean like interdimensional transference. That would explain the spatial displacement we experienced as we passed over the threshold.

  The Doctor : [stares at Grace]  ... Yes, if you like.

• Grace : Listen, why don't you just have a seat and open your shirt? I want to listen to your heart.

  The Doctor : Hearts. Plural.

  Grace : Right! Right...

• Grace : Maybe you have selective amnesia brought on by shock.

  The Doctor : Maybe. I don't remember.
