Quotes from "Adam"

Tosh: What's that.
Owen: It's a screen cleaner. I thought you might like it. Do you like it?
Tosh: Just what I need. A small rodent looking at me as I work. Think I'll call it Owen.

Ianto: I'll have a look in the diary. I like to log the interesting stuff.
Tosh: You write about artefacts in your diary?
Ianto: Among other things.

Owen: Because I love you.
Tosh: What?
Owen: Oh yeah, there we are, I've said it. I love you! Yes, I always have, actually, ever since we started working together and, in fact, um, actually, I ache for you. Physically, when you're in the room, I just want to reach out and touch you...
Tosh: Owen.
Owen: No, no, I can't keep the secret any more. My mum said to me "Seize the day", so I am seizing it and, you know, I've got so much love to give you, Tosh, and you know, you won't know that unless I tell you. So here I am, telling you that I love you!

Jack: Our memories define us, Adam changed those memories, he changed who we are. Now I have to help you all go back. Find a memory that defines you, rediscover who you are. If I'm wrong, he'll still be here when we've done this. Let me take you back to before we all met. Feel around for anything that makes you what you are. The hidden and the forgotten. Tell me where you are.

Gwen: I love him. But not in the way I love you.
Jack: Take this.
Tosh: Knowing there has to be more to life than this. Knowing I'm special. Waiting for someone to see it.
Jack: I saw it.
Owen: You save one life, 100 lives, but it's never enough. Who'll save me?
Jack: I will.
Ianto: Coming here... it gave me meaning again. You. (Jack kisses him)

Jack: Found your diary.
Ianto: Yep, been looking for that.
Jack: And for the record, measuring tapes never lie.

Series 1 Episode 6: Dalek

Summary:
The Doctor and Rose follow a signal and land in a museum full of alien artefacts. Soon they meet Mr van Statten who has collected everything and is especially proud of his one living alien. The Doctor wants to talk to it but he recognises the alien as his biggest enemy: a Dalek. The Dalek fell through a hole in time during the Time War and crashed on earth. The Doctor tells van Statten to destroy the Dalek as long as it's weak but van Statten doesn't want to hear anything about it. Rose touches the Dalek and he regenerates because of her DNA. It starts to kill people on its way out of the base. Can the Doctor stop the Dalek or not? Will he loose Rose?

This is the first time in the new series that we see the Daleks again, one of the enemies of the Doctor. It is interesting to see how the Doctor changes when he is in the company of the Dalek. Sometimes it seems that he is not better than his enemy and that the only thing he wants to do is kill it. I think Rose speaks for the whole audience when she asks him, "What is wrong with you?"
Rose can see the Dalek with different eyes because she hasn't been in the Time War and doesn't know what has happened there. I think the moments between Rose and Adam are quite nice and it is good to see Rose and the Doctor interact with other characters than with each other. The episode still has its funny moments and I always like the scene when the Doctor looks for a weapon and has a hair-dryer in his hands. In the new series the Daleks have evolved as well because they are able to levitate now and are able to climb stairs as well. So, Stairs are no help anymore when you meet a Dalek.

Quotes from "The Long Game"

Today is quote day again and I have some quotes from the episode "The Long Game" for you. Thank you by the way for your comments on my last post.

The Doctor: The thing is, Adam, time travel is like visiting Paris. You can't just read the guide book, you gotta throw yourself in. Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double, and end up kissing complete strangers. Or is that just me?

Adam Mitchell: Maybe I could just go and sit on the observation desk. Would that be alright? Soak it in. Y’know, pretend I’m a citizen of the year two hundred thousand.
Rose: D’you want me to come with you?
Adam Mitchell: No, no. You stick with the Doctor. You’d rather be with him. It’s gonna take a better man than me to get between you two.

Suki: You have been lying to the people.
The Editor: Ooh, I love it. Say it again.

Cathica: You’re not management, are you?
The Doctor: At last she’s clever! 

Cathica: Doctor, I think if there was any kind of conspiracy, Satellite 5 would have seen it. We see everything.
The Doctor: I can see better. This society's the wrong shape. Even the technology.
Cathica: It's cutting-edge!
The Doctor: It's backwards. There's a great big door in your head.

The Editor: (to the Doctor and Rose) This is fascinating. Satellite 5 contains every piece of information within the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire. Birth certificates, shopping habits, bank statements. But you two… you don’t exist. There's not a trace. No birth, no job, not the slightest kiss. How can you walk through the world and not leave a single footprint? 

The Editor: Create a climate of fear and it’s easy to keep the borders closed. It’s just a matter of emphasis. The right word in the right broadcast repeated often enough can destabilize an economy, invent an enemy, change a vote.

The Editor: Is a slave a slave if he doesn't know he's enslaved?
The Doctor: Yes.
The Editor: Oh. I was hoping for a philosophical debate. Is that all I'm gonna get. "Yes"?
The Doctor: Yes.
The Editor: You're no fun.

The Editor: The human empire is tiny compared to what you've seen in your T - A - R - D - I - S. TARDIS.
The Doctor: Well, you’ll never get your hands on it. I'll die first!
The Editor: Well, die all you like. I don't need you.

The Doctor: The whole of history could have changed because of you.
Adam Mitchell: I just wanted to help.
The Doctor: You were helping yourself.
Adam Mitchell: And I’m sorry and I’ve said I’m sorry. And I am, I really am. But you can’t just leave me like this!
The Doctor: Yes, I can. 'Cause if you show the head to anyone, they’ll dissect you in seconds. You’ll have to live a very quiet life. Keep out of trouble. Be average. Unseen. Good luck.
Adam Mitchell: But I want to come with you!
The Doctor: I only take the best. I've got Rose.
