if you are a cliffhanger ending
i'm the one that doesn't know anything
like a magpie and a ring,
i'm always going to be looking right to you
oh, you capture my attention
carefully listening,
don't wanna miss a thing,
keeping my eyes on you
got me on my toes

"You're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain."

"Homo sapiens. What an inventive, invincible species. It's only a few million years since they crawled up out of the mud and learned to walk. Puny, defenceless bipeds. They've survived flood, famine and plague. They've survived cosmic wars and holocausts. And now, here they are, out among the stars, waiting to begin a new life. Ready to outsit eternity. They're indomitable. Indomitable."

"Perhaps we've landed in a world of mad men!"
"They're human beings, if that's what you mean. Indulging their favorite pastime of trying to destroy each other."

"My dear Steven, history sometimes gives us a terrible shock, and that is because we don't quite fully understand. Why should we? After all, we're too small to realise its final pattern. Therefore don't try and judge it from where you stand. I was right to do as I did. Yes, that I firmly believe.
Steven... Even after all this time, he cannot understand. I dare not change the course of history. Well, at least I taught him to take some precautions; he did remember to look at the scanner before he opened the doors. And now, they're all gone. All gone. None of them could understand. Not even my little Susan. Or Vicki. And as for Barbara and Chatterton — Chesterton — they were all too impatient to get back to their own time. And now, Steven. Perhaps I should go home. Back to my own planet. But I can't... I can't..."

"Our lives are important — at least to us — and as we see, so we learn... Our destiny is in the stars, so let's go and search for it."

"It all started out as a mild curiosity in the junkyard, and now it's turned out to be quite a great spirit of adventure."

"If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds, and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?"

"Doctor, are you there? It's so very dark in here."
"I'm here."
"I've been looking for a word. A big, complicated word, but sad. I found it now."
"What word?"
"Alive... I'm alive."
"Alive isn't sad?"
"It's sad when it's over."
"I'll always be here."
"But this is when we talked. And now even that has to come to an end. There's something I didn't get to say to you."
"Goodbye."
"No, I just wanted to say... Hello. Hello Doctor. It's so very nice to meet you."
"Please, I don't want to you go."

"Oh, I know exactly what you are, and I see this reformation for what it really is. You committed an atrocity and chose this as your punishment. Don’t get me wrong: good choice. Civilized hours, lots of adulation, nice weather, but, BUT justice doesn’t work like that! You don’t get to decide when and how your debt is paid!"

"In my culture, we believe that when you die, your spirit has to climb a mountain carrying the souls of everyone you wronged in your lifetime. Imagine the weight I will have to lift. The monsters I created, the people they killed…. Can you see now why I fear death? You want to hand me over, there’s no shame in that. But you won’t. We all carry our prisons with us. Mine is my past. Yours is your morality."
