Цитаты из книги Доктор Кто. 11 историй

‘Were you always like this?’ ‘Like what?’ ‘A madman. With a time machine.’ ‘Oh, no. It took ages until I got the time machine.’

He knocked at the door. ‘Hello,’ he said. ‘You must be Polly. I’m looking for Amy Pond.’ The girl’s hair was in pigtails. She looked up at the Doctor suspiciously. ‘How do you know my name?’ she asked. ‘I’m very clever,’ said the Doctor seriously.

‘The Time Lords really didn’t like genocide. I’m not too keen on it myself. It’s the potential you’re killing off. What if, one day, there was a good Dalek? What if...’

-Лишь дураки довольны судьбой,- отрезала она.- Те же, кто наделен разумом, ищут способы управлять и даже менять её.

– У меня действительно есть план, – сказал Доктор. – И мне не надо умничать. Я и так умный. А то, что я выгляжу умным – просто мелкий бонус.

Очень давно. Ну, не очень давно, говоря относительно, а, поскольку время относительно, мы и говорим относительно, не так ли?

Иногда Доктор вел себя, как ребенок, иногда - как бог. А частенько был и тем, и другим одновременно.

- Всё, что я хотел сказать, Нисса, - сказал Доктор, выключая монитор и лучезарно улыбаясь, - это, что все возможно, как и всегда... В конце концов, это единственная правда, которая нам нужна.

"О, как жаль, что я ещё не регенерировал в того рослого, с этим нелепые галстуком-бабочкой, - подумал Доктор, иногда у него были видения своих будущих воплощений. - Он всегда такой тренированный и проводной. Пожалуй, вся та бесконечная беготня по коридорам, которой он занимается... будет заниматься... возможно, будет заниматься в одном из вероятных сценариев моего будущего... тоже для чего-то нужна".

Those are my favourite sorts of surprises – the unsurprising ones.

‘You’ve got Dracula climbing up your tower.’

Rapunzel clapped her hands excitedly. ‘Is Dracula a prince?’

‘He’s a count.’

She sagged. ‘Oh.’

There was movement up ahead: two teenagers, a pale boy and a nervous girl, walked into a clearing. The sun broke through the clouds and the boy started to sparkle.

Martha felt the Doctor’s eyes on her and she blushed. ‘Do not judge me.’

There was movement, and then a rope came tumbling out of the window, batting gently against Martha’s shoulder, unravelling all the way down to the bottom. No, not a rope. A thick braid of golden hair.

‘You have got to be kidding,’ Martha muttered.

The Doctor was shouting again. ‘I know her! I’ve met her! Tell her I said hi!’

‘I never said I saw them in the woods. I never said I knew what you were talking about. What are you talking about? Strange? Lights? Woods? What? I’m the caretaker. I take care of the cottage and the grounds. Not the woods. Not any strange lights. Not that there are any. But if there were some, I wouldn’t know about them. And I don’t, because there aren’t.’ His face twitched. ‘Any.’

The Doctor smiled again. ‘I don’t find you suspicious at all.’

‘Doctor,’ Martha said, having no other choice but to ask the question, ‘are we... are we in a book?’

‘We’re not in a book. We can’t be in a book.’ The Doctor looked around. ‘We might be in a book.’

‘One moment,’ said Amy, ‘I was about to be eaten by that creature. The next I was sitting in the kitchen, talking to Mrs Browning, and listening to The Archers. How did you do that?’ ‘I’m very clever,’ said the Doctor. It was a good line, and he was determined to use it as much as possible.

There was a clunk and the door flew open; the sudden daylight was blinding. The Doctor saw, with delight, his friend, and a familiar big blue police box. He was not certain which to hug first.

‘You’re enjoying this,’ said Amy. ‘My whole world has been taken over by a mysterious voice. All the people are extinct. Rory’s gone. And you’re enjoying this.’ ‘No, I’m not,’ said the Doctor, trying hard not to show how much he was enjoying it.

‘But, Doctor. The human race didn’t die out in 1984.’ ‘New timeline. It’s a paradox.’ ‘And you’re the paradoctor?’ ‘Just the Doctor.’

‘If I wasn’t born, what am I doing here?’ ‘You’re an independent temporal nexus, chronosynclastically established as an inverse...’ He saw her expression, and stopped. ‘You’re telling me it’s timey-wimey, aren’t you?’ ‘Yes,’ he said seriously. ‘I suppose I am.’
