The time of the doctor
Once there was a planet much like any other. And unimportant. This planet sent the universe a message. A bell, tolling among the stars, ringing out to all the dark corners of creation. And everybody came to see. Although no one understood the message, everyone who heard it found themselves afraid. Except one man. The man who stayed for Christmas.The Doctor holding a Dalek eyestalk: I bring proof of courage. And comradeship. What is this ship and why are you here? Identify yourselves by species and planet of origin!
The Doctor: Handles, I said put me on a ship. I didn't say put me on a Dalek ship. Don't put me on a Dalek ship when I'm holding a broken bit of Dalek!
Handles: You did not indicate a preference.
The Doctor: Use your head. It's not like we've got a lot of alternatives, they're all here. Daleks, Sontarans, Terileptils, Slitheen. And they're not even fighting, they're just parked. Why?
Handles: The message was received throughout the universe.
The Doctor: Yes yes. The message. The message. Even I can't translate it. I mean why is everyone here if they don't understand it?
Handles: You're here.
The Doctor: Yeah well, you know. I'm OCD. What's their excuse?The Doctor: And remind me I've got to patch the telephone back through the console unit. This is getting ridiculous.
Handles: Attention. Information available. You must patch the telephone device back through the console unit.
The Doctor: No no. No no no. Not now, remind me later.
Handles: When?
The Doctor: I don't know, just later. Just pick a time.
Handles: When?
The Doctor: I don't know, just any old time. Just when you think I've forgotten.
Handles: When?
The Doctor: Just pick a random number, express that number as a quantity of minutes and when that number has elapsed, remind me to patch the telephone back through the console unit.
Handles: Affirmative.
The Doctor: How those Cyber evenings must fly.The Doctor: Hello, the TARDIS.
Clara: Emergency. You're my boyfriend.
The Doctor: Ding dong. Okay, brilliant. I may be a bit rusty in some areas but I will glance at a manual.
Clara: No no. You're not actually my boyfriend.
The Doctor: Oh. That was quick. It's a roller coaster, this phone call.
Clara: But I need a boyfriend. Really quickly.
The Doctor: Well I hope you're nicer to the next one.
Clara: No! Shut up! Christmas dinner. Me. Cooking.
The Doctor: So?
Clara: So I may have accidentally invented a boyfriend.
The Doctor: Yeah, I did that once and there's no easy way to get rid of an android.Clara: I need you! I'm cooking Christmas dinner!
The Doctor: And I'm being shot at by Cybermen!
Clara: Well can't we do both?!Linda (Elizabeth Rider): How's the turkey doing?
Clara: Great, yeah. Yeah, it's doing great. Well, dead and decapitated but that's Christmas when you're a turkey.
Gran (Sheila Reid): Actually, maybe I will have a little more.
Clara: There you go, Gran.
Dad (James Buller): Did you put it in early enough?
Clara: Dad, I put it in when you phoned me.
Dad: I emailed you some instructions.
Clara: Oo. You certainly did.The Doctor: Clara!
Clara: No. Stop. Stop. Don't move. Don't do anything.
The Doctor: Why? What is it? What's wrong?
Clara: You're naked.
The Doctor: Yes. I am naked. I wondered if you'd notice.
Clara: Doctor, why are you naked?
The Doctor: Because I'm going to church. {he gets dressed} Better?
Clara: Oh. That was quick.
The Doctor: Hologram clothes. Projected directly onto your visual cortex.
Clara: So you're still naked underneath?
The Doctor: Everybody's naked underneath.
Clara: Oof. You shouldn't say things like that. It's Christmas.Clara: So, ah. Here he is.
The Doctor: Hello the Oswalds! Hello! Merry Christmas! Hello! Hello! {kissing Gran} Hello handsome. Anyone for Twister?
Clara: So. This is the Doctor. My boyfriend. Isn't anybody going to say hello?
Gran: Hello. {she giggles}
The Doctor: Excuse me a moment. {whispering} Listen, I've got an idea to break the ice. Why don't I project my clothes hologram onto their visual cortexes too?
Clara: So, to be clear, no one except me can see your clothes?
The Doctor: Yes and I'm starting to think it may be causing tension.
Gran: Are we playing Twister now?Clara: Doctor, please.
The Doctor: Ha, that's never going to work is it?
Clara: What's wrong? Do you not think it's done yet?
The Doctor: I think a decent vet would give it an even chance.
Clara: Okay, well use an app then.
The Doctor: An app?
Clara: On your screwdriver then. App it!
The Doctor: Most certainly not. It doesn't do turkey! Nothing does turkey. You'd need a time machine.Clara: I don't feel like I'm wearing anything.
The Doctor: I know. Relaxing, isn't it.The Doctor: The old key in the quiff routine. Classic. Okay. Homing in on the mysterious message. Oo! Yes, I like that. "The mysterious message."
Clara: You shaved your head.
The Doctor: Yep. Clever plan to get us past the shields.
Clara: You got bored one night, didn't you?
The Doctor: Yeah, tiny bit bored.
Clara: Is that what happened to your eyebrows?
The Doctor: No, they're just delicate.The Doctor: Hello! Good to meet you. Nice snow.
Man: Most pleasant to meet you too.
Woman: Most pleasant. Most pleasant.
The Doctor: I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. I stole a time machine and ran away and I've been flouting the principle law of my people ever since. {he slaps his hand over his mouth} That wasn't quite what I was meant to say.
Clara: I'm an English teacher from the planet Earth and I've run off with a man from space because I really fancy-
Woman: I think perhaps you should stop talking til you get used to it.
The Doctor: Used to what?
Woman: What did you say your name was?
Clara: Bubbly personality masking bossy control freak.
The Doctor: I'm wearing a wig. No. Ah! I see. Yes, of course. It's a truth field. Oh that is so quaint. I haven't seen a truth field in years! I'm wearing a wig.The Doctor: Is there a joke? Huh?
Clara: "Extract from Thoughts on a Clock by Eric Ritchie, Jr."
The Doctor: Is it a knock knock one? Those are the best.
Clara: I don't think so.
The Doctor: Well read it, go on!
Clara: "And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now. The clock is striking Twelve's."
The Doctor: I don't get it.Okay now the sad bits........
The Doctor: It all just disappears, doesn't it? Everything you are, gone in moment. Like breath on a mirror. Any moment now, he's a coming.
Clara: Who's coming?
The Doctor: The Doctor.
Clara: You... you are the Doctor.
The Doctor: Yep. And I always will be. But times change, and so must I.
The Doctor: Amelia!
Clara: Who's Amelia?
The Doctor: The first face this face saw.
The Doctor: We all change when you think about it. We're all different all through our lives. And that's okay, that's good. You've got to keeping moving. As long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this, not one day. I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me.
Amy: Raggedy man. Good night.
Clara: No no! Please don't change.
The Doctor (Peter Capaldi): Kidneys! I've got new kidneys! I don't like the color.
Clara: Of your kidneys? What's happening?
The Doctor: We're possibly crashing.
Clara: Into what?
The Doctor: Stay calm. Just one question. Do you happen to know how to fly this thing?
