The Doctor: Sonic blaster, 51st Century... Weapon factories at Villengard?
Capt. Jack: Yeah. You've been to the factories?
The Doctor: Once.
Capt. Jack: They're gone now. Reactor went critical. Vaporised the lot.
The Doctor: Like I said, once. There's a banana grove there now. I like bananas. Bananas are good.
("The Doctor Dances", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
The Doctor: Funny little human brains. How do you get around in them?
Rose: When he gets stressed, he likes to insult species.
("The Doctor Dances", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
[The Doctor, Capt. Jack and Rose are cornered by the "Empty children".]
The Doctor: Go to your room. Go to your room! I mean it. I'm very, very angry with you. I'm very, very cross! Go to your room!
[The children lurch away.]
The Doctor: I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words.
("The Doctor Dances", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
[Captain Jack commenting on the Doctor's leather jacket and Rose's Union Jack top.]
Jack: The way you guys are blending in with the local color- I mean flag girl is bad enough, but U-Boat captain?
("The Empty Child", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
The Doctor: You're very sick.
Doctor Constantine: Dying, I should think. I just haven't been able to find the time. Are you a doctor?
The Doctor: I have my moments.
("The Empty Child", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
The Doctor: And I'm looking for a blonde in a Union Jack. A specific one, mind you, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving.
("The Empty Child", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
The Doctor: (To a stray kitten) One day, just one day, maybe, I'm going to meet somebody who gets the whole "don't wander off" thing. 900 years of phone box travel and it's the only thing left that surprises me. (The TARDIS phone rings and he looks around in surprise.)
("The Empty Child", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
The Doctor: I say 'spaceship', you're not interested, I say 'time machine'..."
Rose: I didn't plan it, I just saw it happening and thought I could stop it.
The Doctor: Ah, I did it again: I picked another stupid ape. I should have known. It's not about showing you the universe. It never is. It's about the universe doing something for you.
Rose: What's the problem? He's never gonna be famous, he's not gonna start World War Three or anything.
The Doctor: Rose, there's a man alive in the world who wasn't alive before. An ordinary man. That's the most important thing in creation! The whole world's different because he's alive!
Rose: So you'd have him dead?
The Doctor: I didn't say that...
Rose: No, I get it: for once, you're not the most important man in my life.
The Doctor: Rose, my whole planet was destroyed, my family - do you think it never occurred to me to go back and save them?
("Father's Day", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
[While The Doctor and Rose are in mannacles]
The Editor: Now, there's an interesting point. Is a slave a slave if he doesn't know he's been 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: [chuckles] You're no fun.
The Doctor: Let me out of these mannacles. Then you'll find out how much fun I am.
The Editor: [To Rose] Oooh, he's tough, isn't he?
("The Long Game", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
Rose: I'll let the Doctor describe it.
The Doctor: The Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire. Planet Earth is at its height, covered with megacities, five moons, population 96 billion, the centre of a galactic domain that stretches across a million planets and species.
[Adam faints.]
The Doctor: He's your boyfriend.
Rose: Not any more.
("The Long Game", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
[The Doctor, encouraging Adam to explore the station]
The Doctor: The thing is, Adam, time travel is like visiting Paris. You can't just read the guidebook, you've got to throw yourself in. Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers... or is that just me?
("The Long Game", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
Dalek: [appears on a monitor] I shall speak only to the Doctor.
The Doctor: [sees the fire sprinklers in action, raining water upon the Dalek] You're gonna get rusty.
Dalek: I fed off the DNA of Rose Tyler. Extrapolating the biomass of a time-traveller regenerated me.
The Doctor: What's your next trick?
Dalek: I have been searching for the Daleks.
The Doctor: Yeah, I saw. Downloading the internet. What did you find?
Dalek: I scanned your satellites and radio telescopes.
The Doctor: And?
Dalek: Nothing. [Beat] Where shall I get my orders now?!
The Doctor: You're just a soldier without commands.
Dalek: Then I shall follow the Primary Order: the Dalek instinct to destroy, to conquer!!
The Doctor: But what for? What's the point?! Don't you see? It's all gone. Everything you were, everything you stood for.
Dalek: ... Then what should I do?
The Doctor: All right, then. If you want orders, follow this one. Kill yourself.
Dalek: The Daleks must survive!
The Doctor: The Daleks have failed! Now why don't you finish the job, and make the Daleks extinct?! Rid the universe of your filth! Why don't you just DIE?!
Dalek: [Beat] You would make a good Dalek.
("Dalek", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
Rose: [Approaches the damaged Dalek] ... Hello?
[no response] Are you in pain? My name's Rose Tyler. I've got a friend who can help, he's called the Doctor. What's your name?
Dalek: [weak] ... Yes...
Rose: What?
Dalek: [eyestalk lifts feebly] ... I... am... in pain... They... torture me... but still they fear me... Do you fear me?...
Rose: [soft] No.
[the Dalek's eyestalk lowers again, as if in despair]
Dalek: ... I... am... dying...
Rose: No, we can help --
Dalek: ... I... welcome death... But... I am glad... that before I die... I met a human... who was not afraid...
Rose: Isn't there anything I can do?
Dalek: ... My race... is dead... I... shall die... alone...
[Rose touches the Dalek's dome to comfort it]
Adam: Rose, no!
[Rose pulls her hand away in pain. And the Dalek is triumphant.]
Dalek: [Voice volume steadily increases] Genetic material extrapolated! Initiate cellular RECONSTRUCTION!!!
("Dalek", Season 1 New Doctor Who)

My review of the season 3 two part finale will go up later this week as I've not yet had a chance to re-watch the 13th episode since it aired on Saturday.
The Doctor: I could have killed that Dalek in its cell. But you stopped me.
Van Statten: It was the prize of my collection--
The Doctor: [loses it] YOUR COLLECTION?!? Well was it WORTH it?! Worth all those men's deaths, worth Rose?! Let me tell you something, Van Statten. Mankind goes into space to explore. To be part of something greater!
Van Statten: Exactly! I wanted to touch the stars!
The Doctor: You just want to drag the stars down and stick them underground, underneath tons of sand, and dirt, and label them! You're about as far from the stars as you can get!
("Dalek", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
Simmons: [to the Dalek] What are you gonna do, sucker me to death?
[The Dalek grabs his face with its sucker and kills him.]
("Dalek", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
[To Adam.] Van Statten: You, English, look after the girl. Go and... canoodle or spoon, or whatever it is you British do. And you, Doctor-with-no-name... come and see my pet.
("Dalek", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
Rose: My mum's cooking.
The Doctor: Good. Put her on a slow heat and let her simmer.
("Aliens of London", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
The Doctor: If we're gonna find their weakness, we need to know where they're from. So, judging by their body shape, that narrows it down to about 5000 planets in travelling distance. Now what else do we know? Information!"
Harriet Jones: They're green.
The Doctor: Narrows it down!
Rose: Good sense of smell.
The Doctor: Narrows it down!
Harriet Jones: They can smell adrenaline.
The Doctor: Narrows it down!
Harriet Jones: The pig technology!
The Doctor: Narrows it down!
Rose: The spaceship in the Thames - you said slipstream engine.
The Doctor: Narrows it down!
Rose: They hunt like it's a ritual.
The Doctor: Narrows it down!
Harriet Jones: Wait! Did you notice when they fart, if you'll pardon the word, it doesn't just smell like a fart, if you'll pardon the word, it's something else, what is it?
Rose: Bad breath!
Harriet Jones: That's it.
The Doctor: Calcium decay! Now that narrows it down!
Rose: We're getting there, Mum!
The Doctor: What else... what else... Hyphenated surnames. Of course! That narrows it down to one planet! Raxacoricofallapatorius!
Mickey Smith: Oh, great, we could write them a letter.
("World War 3", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
Mickey: I bet you don't even remember my name.
The Doctor: It's Ricky.
Mickey: It's Mickey.
The Doctor: No, it's Ricky.
Mickey: I think I know my own name.
The Doctor: You think you know your own name? How stupid are you?
("Aliens of London", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
Rose: She slapped you.
The Doctor: Nine hundred years of time and space, and I've never been slapped by someone's mother.
Rose: Your face...
The Doctor: It hurt!
Rose: You're so gay!
("Aliens of London", Season 1 New Doctor Who)
