Rose Tyler: Doctor, tell me what’s going on.

Doctor: I absorbed all the energy of the time vortex and no one’s meant to do that. Every cell in my body is dying.

Rose Tyler: Can’t you do something?

Doctor: Yeah, I’m doing it now! Time Lords have this little trick. It’s sort of a way of cheating death. Except… it means I’m gonna change… and I’m not gonna see you again. Not like this, not with this daft old face. And before I go…

Rose Tyler: Don’t say that!

Doctor: Rose… before I go I just wanna tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what? So was I.
