Quotes
-
Idris : Did you ever wonder why I chose you all those years ago?
The Doctor : I chose you. You were unlocked.
Idris : Of course I was. I wanted to see the universe, so I stole a Time Lord and I ran away. And you were the only one mad enough.
-
Idris : Biting's excellent. It's like kissing. Only there's a winner.
-
The Doctor : You know, since we're talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just want to say, you know, you have never been very reliable.
Idris : And you have?
The Doctor : You didn't always take me where I wanted to go.
Idris : No, but I always took you where you needed to go.
The Doctor : You did!
-
Amy Pond : She's the TARDIS?
The Eleventh Doctor : And she's a woman! She's a woman and she's the TARDIS.
Amy Pond : Did you wish really hard?
[raises eyebrow at The Doctor]
The Eleventh Doctor : Shut up! Not like that...
Idris/Tardis : Hello, I'm... Sexy.
The Eleventh Doctor : Still shut up.
-
The Doctor : Do you have a name?
Idris : Seven hundred years and finally he asks.
The Doctor : What do I call you?
Idris : What do you call me? Sexy.
The Doctor : Only when we're alone.
Idris : We are alone.
The Doctor : Oh. Come on then, Sexy.
-
The Eleventh Doctor : I always read the instructions!
Idris : There's a sign on my front door. You have been walking past it for seven hundred years. What does it say?
The Eleventh Doctor : That's not instructions.
Idris : There's an instruction at the bottom. What does it say?
The Eleventh Doctor : "Pull to open."
Idris : Yes, and what do you do?
The Eleventh Doctor : I push!
Idris : Every single time. Seven hundred years, police box doors open out the way.
-
Idris : [as the TARDIS] Doctor. Are you there? It's so very dark in here.
The Doctor : I'm here.
Idris : I've been looking for a word. A big, complicated word but so sad. I've found it now.
The Doctor : What word?
Idris : "Alive." I'm alive.
The Doctor : Alive isn't sad.
Idris : It's sad when it's over. I'll always be here. But this is when we talked. And now, even that has come to an end. There's something I didn't get to say to you.
The Doctor : Goodbye.
Idris : No. I just wanted to say... hello. Hello, Doctor.
[Starts to cry]
Idris : It's so very, very nice to meet you.
The Doctor : [Crying] Please... I don't want you to. Please.
Idris : [Fades away in a ball of light and whispers] I love you.
-
The Eleventh Doctor : Hang in there, old girl. Not long now. It'll be over soon.
Idris/Tardis : I always liked it when you called me 'old girl'.
-
[repeated line]
Idris : Do fish have fingers?
-
The Doctor : I don't understand. Who are you?
Idris : You really not know me? Just because they put me in here?
The Doctor : They said you're dangerous.
Idris : Oh, the cage's stupid.
[Touches her head]
Idris : In here. They put me in here. I'm the...
[stops]
Idris : What do you call me, ah... We travel. I go
[makes the TARDIS sound]
The Doctor : [half smiling] The TARDIS?
Idris : Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. Yes, that's it. Names are funny. It's me. I'm the TARDIS.
The Doctor : No, you're not. You're a bitey mad lady. The TARDIS is up and downy stuff in a big blue box.
Idris : Yes, that's me. A type 40 TARDIS. I was already a museum piece when you were young. And the first time you touched my console, you said...
The Doctor : I said you were the most beautiful thing I'd ever known.
Idris : Then you stole me. And I stole you.
The Doctor : [pauses] I borrowed you.
Idris : Borrowing implies the eventual intention to return the thing that it was taken. What makes you think I would ever give you back?
The Doctor : [Slowly turns and looks suspiciously at her] You're the TARDIS.
Idris : Yes!
The Doctor : My TARDIS!
Idris : My Doctor! Oh, we have now reached to the point of the conversation where you open the lock.
-
Idris : No, I'm not a doolally. I'm mmm. I'm mmmm... It's on the tip of my tongue. Oh! That just gave me a new idea about kissing! Come here, you!

Rory Williams : This is where she told me to go. She said she'd send me the passkey. Ah!
[Rory gets a telepathic message from Idris]
Rory Williams , Idris : [speaking together] "Crimson... Eleven... Delight... Petrichor."
Amy Pond : Petrichor?
