Tenth Doctor Month: Quote Of The Day #25



The Master: Doctor.
The Doctor: Master.
The Master: I like it when you use my name.
The Doctor: You chose it. Psychiatrist's field day.
The Master: As you chose yours. “The man who makes people better”. How sanctimonious is that?
The Doctor: So. Prime Minister then.
The Master: I know! It's good, isn't it?
The Doctor: Who are those creatures? 'Cause there's no such thing as the Toclafane. That's just a made-up name like the Bogeyman.
The Master: Do you remember all those fairy tales about the Toclafane when we were kids? Back home. Where is it, Doctor?
The Doctor: Gone.
The Master: How can Gallifrey be gone?
The Doctor: It burnt.
The Master: And the Time Lords?
The Doctor: Dead. And the Daleks. More or less. What happened to you?
The Master: The Time Lords only resurrected me because they knew I'd be the perfect warrior for a Time War. I was there when that Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform. I saw it. I ran. I ran so far. Made myself human so they would never find me. Because... I was so scared.
The Doctor: I know.
The Master: All of them? But not you. Which must mean....
The Doctor: I was the only one that could end it. And I tried, I did. I tried everything.
The Master: What did it feel like though? Two almighty civilizations burning. Oh, tell me how did that feel?
The Doctor: Stop it!
The Master: You must have been like God.
The Doctor: I've been alone ever since. But not anymore. Don't you see? All we've got is each other.
The Master: Are you asking me out on a date?
