Quotes
-
Joan Redfern : Answer me this - just one question, that's all. If the Doctor had never visited us, if he'd never chosen this place... on a whim... would anybody here have died?
[the Doctor does not answer]
Joan Redfern : You can go now.
-
Joan Redfern : Where is he... John Smith?
The Doctor : He's in here somewhere.
Joan Redfern : Like a story... could you change back?
The Doctor : Yes.
Joan Redfern : Will you?
The Doctor : No.
-
Joan Redfern : I'm Sorry, John. But you wrote about it. The Blue Box. You dreamt of a blue box.
John Smith : I'm not...
[tearful]
John Smith : I'm John Smith, that's all I want to be, John Smith. With his life... and his job... and his love. Why can't I be John Smith? Isn't he a good man? Why can't I stay?
Martha Jones : But we need the Doctor.
John Smith : Who am I then? Nothing...? I'm just a story?
-
John Smith : How can you think I'm not real? When I kissed you, was that a lie?
Joan Redfern : No, it wasn't, no
John Smith : But this 'Doctor' sounds like some, some romantic lost prince. Would you rather that? Am I not enough?
Joan Redfern : No, that's not true, never.
John Smith : I've got to go.
Joan Redfern : Martha was right about one thing though; those boys, they're children. John Smith wouldn't want them to fight, never mind the Doctor. The John Smith I was getting to know... he knows it's wrong, doesn't he?
John Smith : What choice do I have?
-
Joan Redfern : Women might train to be doctors, but hardly a scivvy and hardly one of your colour.
Martha Jones : Oh, d'you think? Bones of the hand. Carpal bones, proximal row: scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform. Distal row: trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate. Then the metacarpal bones extending in three distinct phalanges: proximal, middle, distal.
Joan Redfern : You read that in a book.
Martha Jones : Yes, to pass my exams!
