Quotes from "Closing Time"

The Doctor: Oh, you've redecorated. I don't like it.
Craig Owens: It's a different house. We moved.
The Doctor: Yes, that's it.
Craig Owens: Doctor, what are you doing here?
The Doctor: Social call. Thought about time I'd try one out.

Craig Owens: I can't cope on my own with him. I can't... he just cries all the time. I mean, do they have off switches?
The Doctor: Human beings. No, I've checked.
Craig Owens: No, babies.
The Doctor: Same difference.

The Doctor: So what did you call him? Will I blush?
Craig Owens: No, we didn't call him "The Doctor."
The Doctor: No, I didn't think you would.
Craig Owens: He's called Alfie. What are you doing here, anyway?
The Doctor: Yes, he doesn't like Alfie. Personally he prefers to be called "Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All."
Craig Owens: Sorry, what?
The Doctor: That's what he calls himself.
Craig Owens: And how'd you know that?
The Doctor: I speak Baby.
Craig Owens: Of course you do.

The Doctor: Craig!
Craig Owens: What the hell are you doing here?
The Doctor: Oh, I'm the Doctor, I work in a shop now. Here to help. Look, they gave me a badge with my name on, in case I forget who I am. Very thoughtful, as that does happen.

The Doctor: You look awful.
Craig Owens: (about his baby son) I haven't slept, have I? I still can't stop him crying. I even tried singing to him last night.
The Doctor: Yeah, he did mention that... he thought you were crying, too.

The Doctor: Craig, take Alfie and go home.
Craig Owens: No.
The Doctor: No?
Craig Owens: No. I remember from last time, people got killed. People that didn't know you. I know where it's safest for me and Alfie, and that's right next to you.
The Doctor: Is that so?
Craig Owens: Yeah, you always win, you always survive.
The Doctor: Those were the days.

Craig Owens: Where am I investigating?
The Doctor: Well, look around. Ask questions. People like it when you're with a baby. Babies are sweet. People talk to you. That's why I usually take a human with me.
Craig Owens: So I'm your baby?
The Doctor: You're my baby.

Craig Owens: Doctor, listen to me. If the Cybermen are here, then we're not safe. We've got to go. We got to go back to base.
The Doctor: We've got a base? When did we get a base?

Craig Owens: I'm going down to the shop. We're out of milk. You know what to do if he cries.
The Doctor: No!
Craig Owens: Me neither!

The Doctor: (to the baby) Your dad's trying his best, you know. Yes, I know it's not his fault he doesn't have mammary glands. No, neither do I.

Craig Owens: The Cybermen. They blew up. I blew 'em up with love!
The Doctor: No, that's impossible. And also grossly sentimental and over-simplistic. You destroyed them because of the deeply-ingrained hereditary human trait to protect one's own genes, which in turn triggered a... uh... uh... yeah. Love.

Series 6 Episode 12: Closing Time

That was a really nice episode with the Doctor and Craig and some unexpected revelations at the end. As always, if you haven't watched the episode yet, stop reading now.

Summary:
The Doctor visits Craig again before he has to die but then he finds out about some strange power issues and has to investigate these. Craig is alone with his baby for the weekend but he helps the Doctor with his investigations and soon they find out that the Cybermen are behind everything. Amy and Rory are in the same shop where the Doctor investigates but he doesn't go over and just watches them. The Doctor can catch a Cybermat which nearly kills Craig but they can deactivate it together. He wants to destroy the Cybermen on his own but Craig comes to help him and destroys the aliens in the end. After the Doctor says goodbye to Craig he goes back to America to die. A young River studies the Doctor but then is forced into the suit of an astronaut by the eye-patch lady.

I really liked this episode because it was funny and the Doctor talking with Craig's baby was just brilliant. It was a nice moment to see Amy and Rory in this episode even if the Doctor didn't talk to them. In this episode the Doctor must be older now then in the one before because he has just one day left until he dies in America which we have seen in the first episode of this series. I didn't think this episode would have any great revelations but now we know that it must haven been the adult River who shot the Doctor and that is the reason why she is in prison. I'm really looking forward to the last episode of this series now because we already know that there will be more Doctor Who and I really want to know how they manage to do this. Very exited.
