Quotes

The Doctor : The Teselecta. The Doctor in a Doctor-suit. Time said I had to be on that beach, so I dressed for the occasion. Barely got singed in that boat.
Dorium Maldovar : So you're going to do this, let them all think you're dead?
The Doctor : It's the only way, then they can all forget me. I got too big, Dorium, too noisy. Time to step back into the shadows.
Dorium Maldovar : And Doctor Song? In prison all her days?
The Doctor : Her days, yes. Her nights... well, that's between her and me, eh?
Dorium Maldovar : So many secrets, Doctor.
[chuckles]
Dorium Maldovar : I'll help you keep them, of course.
The Doctor : Well, you're not exactly going anywhere, are you?
Dorium Maldovar : But you're a fool nonetheless. It's all still waiting for you: the fields of Trenzalore, the fall of the Eleventh, and the question!
The Doctor : [salutes] Goodbye, Dorium!
Dorium Maldovar : [as Doctor exits] The first question! The question that must never be answered, hidden in plain sight. The question you've been running from all your life. Doctor who? Doctor who? Doc-tor *who*?

The Eleventh Doctor : They want me dead?
Dorium : No, not really. They just don't want you to remain alive.
The Eleventh Doctor : That's okay, then. I was a bit worried for a minute there.
-
Dorium Maldovar : Have you got wi-fi here? I'm bored already and my nose is hurting!
-
The Doctor : Why Lake Silencio? Why... Utah?
Dorium Maldovar : It's a still point in time. Makes it easier to create a *fixed* point. And your death is a fixed point, Doctor. You can't run away from this.
The Doctor : Been running all my life. Why should I stop?
Dorium Maldovar : Because now you know what's at stake. Why your life must end.
The Doctor : Not today.
Dorium Maldovar : What's the point in delaying? How long have you delayed already?
The Doctor : Been knocking about. Bit of a farewell tour. Things to do, people to see. There's always more! I could invent a new color, save the dodo, join the Beatles!
[to phone]
The Doctor : Hello, it's me! Get him, tell him we're going out, and it's all on me, except for the money and the driving!
[to Dorium]
The Doctor : I have got a time machine, Dorium. It's all still going on for me, it never stops. Liz the First is still waiting in a glade to elope with me. I could help Rose Tyler with her homework! I could go on all of Jack's stag parties in one night!
Dorium Maldovar : Time catches up with us all, Doctor!
The Doctor : Well, it has *never* laid a glove on me!
[to phone]
The Doctor : Hello!
Nurse : Doctor, I'm so sorry. We didn't know how to contact you. I'm afraid Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart passed away a few months ago. - Doctor?
The Doctor : ...Ye - eh, uh, yes. Yes. Uh, uhh...
Nurse : It was very peaceful. He talked a lot about you, if that's any comfort. Always made us pour an extra brandy, in case you came round one of these days.
Dorium Maldovar : Doctor? What's wrong?
The Doctor : ...Nothing, nothing. Just...
[Long pause. The Doctor takes the envelopes out of his pocket and looks at them]
The Doctor : It's time. It's time.
