Quotes from "Human Nature"

It is quote time again and I'm still in the third series (quote-wise) and therefore you get some from the episode "Human Nature" today.

John Smith: (to Martha) I dream I'm this adventurer. This daredevil, a madman. The Doctor, I'm called. And last night, I dreamt that you were there. As my companion.

Joan: It's all becoming clear. The Doctor is the man you'd like to be, doing impossible things with cricket balls.
John Smith: Well, I discovered a talent, that's certainly true.
Joan: And the Doctor has an eye for the ladies...
John Smith: The devil.
Joan: A girl in every fireplace.
John Smith: Aha now, there I have to protest Joan, that's hardly me.
Joan: Says the man dancing with me tonight!

Headmaster: You need to be better than the best. Those targets are tribesmen from the dark continent.
Latimer: That's exactly the problem, sir. They only have spears.
Headmaster: Oh dear me. Latimer takes it upon himself to make us realise how wrong we all are. I hope, Latimer, that one day you may have a just and proper war in which to prove yourself.

Hutchinson: Permission to give Latimer a beating, sir?
Headmaster: It's your class, Mr. Smith.
John Smith: Permission granted.

John Smith: Mankind doesn't need warfare and bloodshed to prove itself. Everyday life can provide honour and valour. Let's hope that from now on this country can find its heroes in smaller places. In the most ordinary of deeds.

Joan: Where did you learn to draw?
John Smith: Gallifrey.
Joan: Is that in Ireland?
John Smith: Yes, it must be.
Joan: You're not Irish?
John Smith: Not at all, no. My father Sydney was a watchmaker from Nottingham, and my mother Verity was -- well, she was a nurse, actually.

Jeremy Baines/Son of Mine: (to Jenny; very quickly) Just shut up, stop talking, cease and desist, there's a good girl!

(Martha and Joan are being held at gunpoint by the Family of Blood)
Jeremy Baines/Son of Mine: Have you enjoyed it, Doctor, being human? Has it taught you wonderful things? Has it made you better, richer, wiser? Then let's see you answer this: which one of them do you want us to kill? Maid or matron? Your friend or your lover? Your choice!
