• The Doctor : I'm fine because you fixed yourself. We're Time Lords. We're doing rehab out of order.

  Donna Noble : He's saying you need to stop.

  The Doctor : I don't know how.

  Donna Noble : Well... I can tell you. Cos you know what I did when you went flying off in your blue box, Spaceman? I stayed in one place... and I lived day after day after day.

  The Doctor : It would drive me mad.

  Donna Noble : [laughs]  Yeah. It does. But you keep on going. And that's the adventure. The one adventure you've never had. Because I've... I've worked out what happened. You changed your face... and then you found me. Do you know why?

  The Doctor : No.

  Donna Noble : To come home.

• Colonel Ibrahim : Doctor, I'm Colonel Ibrahim of UNIT Squad Five. If you could come with us.

  Donna Noble : [about Wilf]  Get him to safety, alright? Never mind about us, I want my grandad safe, alright? You got that?

  Colonel Ibrahim : Yes ma'am. We'll keep your family safe.

  Wilfred Mott : You go with the Doctor.

• The Doctor : Now, you two, if you don't mind, there is a great big universe out there calling, and I've gotta get going. So off you pop, old man.

  The Doctor : You're the old man; you're older than me!

  Donna Noble : Actually, that is true. He's younger, 'cause you came after him, so you're the older Doctor.

  The Doctor : Okay, kid. I love you. Get out.

• Donna Noble : He's not dying alone. You can do what you like to me. I'm going to be with him.

  Melanie Bush : And so am I.

  [He nods approvingly] 

  Donna Noble : [to the Doctor, as she takes his hand]  It's OK.

  The Doctor : It's not dying.

  Donna Noble : I know. But...

  Melanie Bush : You're going to be someone else. It doesn't matter who... because every single one of you is fantastic.

  The Doctor : It's time. Here we go again. Allons-y!

• Donna Noble : [final lines]  You don't have to stay for ever.

  The Doctor : We'll see.

  Donna Noble : Do you miss it? Out there?

  The Doctor : The funny thing is, I fought all those battles for all those years... and now I know what for. This. I've never been so happy in my life.
