Companion Quotes: Donna

The best quotes from each Doctor Who Companion, because I'm bored. I'm starting with Donna:

THE RUNAWAY BRIDE

The Doctor: [scanning Donna with his sonic screwdriver] Weird. I mean, you're not special. You're not powerful. You're not connected. You're not clever. You're not important.
Donna: This friend of yours, just before she left, did she punch you in the face?

The Doctor: Why aren't they stopping?
Donna: They think I'm in a fancy dress.
[a cab drives by and the driver says something at Donna]
Donna: They think I'm drunk.
[a car drives by in the other way and both occupants yell something at her]
Donna: They think I'm in drag!


THE FIRES OF POMPEII

Donna Noble: [she and the Doctor have returned to find the TARDIS missing] You're kidding. You're not telling me the TARDIS is gone?
The Doctor: Ok.
Donna Noble: Where is it?
The Doctor: You... told me not to tell you.
Donna Noble: Don't get clever in Latin.

Lucius: The prophecies of women are limited and dull. Only the men folk have the capacity for true perception.
Donna Noble: [partly to herself] I'll tell you where the wind's blowing right now, mate.

Donna Noble: [outraged] You can't just *leave* them!
The Doctor: [bitter] Don't you think I've done enough? History's back in place and everyone *dies*.
Donna Noble: You've got to go back! Doctor, I am telling you, take this thing *back*!
[the Doctor pulls a control and the TARDIS shudders]
Donna Noble: [softly] It's not fair.
The Doctor: [softly] No, it's not.
Donna Noble: [crying] But your own planet, it burned.
The Doctor: That's just it. Don't you see, Donna? Can't you understand? If I could go back and save them, then I would, but I can't!
The Doctor: [pauses] I can *never* go back. I can't. I just can't. I can't.
Donna Noble: Just someone. Please.
Donna Noble: [sobbing] Not the whole town. Just save someone.


PARTNERS IN CRIME

The Doctor: The last time, with Martha, it got complicated. And that was all my fault. I just want a mate.
Donna Noble: You just want to mate?
The Doctor: I just want *a* mate!
Donna Noble: You're not matin' with me Sunshine!
The Doctor: A mate! I want *a* mate!
Donna Noble: Well, just as well, because I'm not having any of that nonsense! I mean, you're just a long streak of nothing, y'know, alien nothing!


THE STOLEN EARTH

The Doctor: Donna, come on, think: Earth, there must have been some sort of warning. Was there anything happening back in your day, like... electrical storms, freak weather, patterns in the... sky?
Donna Noble: Well, how should I know? Um, no. I don't- I don't think so. No.
The Doctor: [disappointed] Oh, OK, nevermind.
Donna Noble: Although, there were the bees disappearing.
The Doctor: [dismissive] The bees disappearing.
The Doctor: [sarcastic] The *bees* disappearing.
The Doctor: [revelational] The bees disappearing!


JOURNEY'S END

The Doctor: I'm unique - never been another like me, 'cause all that regeneration energy went into the hand. Look at the hand - I love that hand - but then you touched it. *Wham!*
[Donna startles]
The Doctor: Shhhh! Instantaneous biological metacrisis! I grew... out of you. Still, could be worse...
Donna Noble: Oi! Watch it, spaceman!
The Doctor: Oi! Watch it, earthgirl!

Donna Noble: [she flips a switch] And... spin.
Dalek: Help me! Help me!
Captain Jack Harkness: Ha ha ha!
Donna Noble: [she flips another switch] And... the other way.
Dalek: Ah!


THE SONTARAN STRATEGEM

Donna Noble: [pointing to the Doctor] *He* is too skinny for words. You give him a hug you get a paper cut!
The Doctor: [as Martha laughs] Oh, I rather you were fighting.

Donna Noble: What and that mean's arresting ordinary factory workers? In the streets? In broad daylight? It's more like Guantanamo Bay out there. Donna, by the way. Donna Noble; since you didn't ask. I'll have a salute.
[Colonel Mace, who is taken aback at her outburst, looks at the Doctor; the Doctor just give a 'you better do as she says' look; the Colonel salutes her]
Colonel Mace: Mamm.
Donna Noble: Thank you.


FOREST OF THE DEAD

Donna Noble: How about you, are you alright?
The Doctor: Oh, I'm always all right.
Donna Noble: Is "All right" special time-lord code for... not really all right at all?
The Doctor: Why?
Donna Noble: Because I'm alright too.

Donna Noble: I made up the perfect man. Gorgeous, adores me, and hardly able to speak a word. What does that say about me?
The Doctor: [a little too quickly] Everything.
[Donna gives the Doctor a look]
The Doctor: Sorry, did I say "everything"? I meant to say "nothing". I was aiming for "nothing", accidentally said "everything".
