The universe is big. it’s vast and complicated and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen, and we call them miracles. -The Doctor, The Pandorica Opens

The Doctor: Mickey! What’s pre-revolution France doing on a spaceship? Get a little perspective!

“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”

-The Doctor, Vincent and the Doctor

“Funny how you can say something in your head and it sounds fine.”

-The Doctor, The Vampires of Venice

“Can’t”? “Can’t”?! There’s no such word as “can’t”!

Riley Vashtee: Find the next number in the sequence: 313, 331, 367…? What?
Martha Jones: You said the crew knew all the answers.
Riley Vashtee: The crew’s change since we’ve set the questions.
Martha Jones: You’re joking.
The Doctor: 379!
Martha Jones: What?
The Doctor: It’s a sequence of happy primes; 379.
Martha Jones: Happy what?
The Doctor: Just enter it!
Riley Vashtee: Are you sure? We only get one chance.
The Doctor: Any number that reduces to 1 when you take the sum of the square of its digits and you continue iterating until it yields 1 is a happy number. Any number that doesn’t, isn’t. A happy prime is a number which is both happy and prime, now type it in! I dunno, talk about dumbing down. Don’t they teach recreational mathematics anymore?

The Doctor: Yep, that’s me.

Yes, I do. 

Yep, and this.

Are you gonna read out the whole thing?

I’m a time traveler. Or I was. I’m stuck in 1969.

Martha Jones: We’re stuck! All of space and time he promised me, now I’ve got a job in a shop, I’ve got to support him! 

The Doctor: Martha! 

Martha Jones: Sorry. 

The Doctor: Quite possibly.

‘fraid so.

Thirty-eight!

People don’t understand time. It’s not what you think it is.

Complicated. 

Very complicated.

People assume that time is a straight progression of cause to effect but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it’s more like a ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey… stuff.

It got away from me, yeah.

Well, I can hear you. 

Well, not hear you exactly, but I know everything you’re gonna say.

Look to your left.

I’ve got a copy of the finished transcript; it’s on my autocue.

I told you, I’m a time traveler! I got it in the future. 

Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey…

What matters is we can communicate, we’ve got big problems now. They have taken the blue box haven’t they? The angels have the phone box.

Creatures from another world.

Only when you see them.

“The Lonely Assassins” they used to be called. No one quite knows where they came from but they’re as old as the universe, or very nearly and they have survived this long because they have the most perfect defense system ever evolved. They are quantum locked. They don’t exist when they’re being observed. The moment they are seen by any other living creature they freeze into rock. No choice, it’s a fact of their biology. In the sight of any living thing they literally turn to stone. And you can’t kill a stone. ‘Course, a stone cant kill you either but then you turn your head away, then you blink and, oh yes, it can. 

That’s why they cover their eyes. They’re not weeping, they can’t risk looking at each other. Their greatest asset is their greatest curse. They can never be seen. Loneliest creatures in the universe. And I’m sorry, I’m very, very sorry it’s up to you now.

The blue box, it’s my time machine. There’s a world of time energy in there. They could feast on forever, but the damage they could do could switch off the sun. You have got to send it back to me. 

And… that’s it I’m afraid, there’s no more from you on the transcript, that’s the last I’ve got. I don’t know what stopped you talking but I can guess. They’re coming. The angels are coming for you but listen. Your life could depend on this. Don’t blink, don’t even blink. Blink and you’re dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don’t turn your back, don’t look away, and don’t blink. Good luck.
