Quotes 

• Tim Latimer : He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night and the storm in the heart of the sun.

  John Smith : [quickly and almost whispering]  Stop it.

  Tim Latimer : He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time and can see the turn of the universe.

  John Smith : [Panicked/Angry]  Stop it, I said stop it!

  Tim Latimer : And... he's wonderful.

• Joan Redfern : Where is he... John Smith?

  The Doctor : He's in here somewhere.

  Joan Redfern : Like a story... could you change back?

  The Doctor : Yes.

  Joan Redfern : Will you?

  The Doctor : No.

• John Smith : You knew this all along and yet you watched while Nurse Redfern and I...

  Martha Jones : I didn't know how to stop you. He gave me a list of things to watch out for, but that wasn't included.

  John Smith : Falling in love? That didn't even occur to him?

  Martha Jones : No.

  John Smith : Then what sort of man is that? And now you expect me to die?

• Joan Redfern : I'm Sorry, John. But you wrote about it. The Blue Box. You dreamt of a blue box.

  John Smith : I'm not...

  [tearful] 

  John Smith : I'm John Smith, that's all I want to be, John Smith. With his life... and his job... and his love. Why can't I be John Smith? Isn't he a good man? Why can't I stay?

  Martha Jones : But we need the Doctor.

  John Smith : Who am I then? Nothing...? I'm just a story?

• The Doctor : You're this doctor's companion, can't you help? What exactly do you do for him? Why does he need you?

  Martha Jones : Because he's lonely.

  The Doctor : [Horrified]  ... And that's what you want me to become?

• John Smith : How can you think I'm not real? When I kissed you, was that a lie?

  Joan Redfern : No, it wasn't, no

  John Smith : But this 'Doctor' sounds like some, some romantic lost prince. Would you rather that? Am I not enough?

  Joan Redfern : No, that's not true, never.

  John Smith : I've got to go.

  Joan Redfern : Martha was right about one thing though; those boys, they're children. John Smith wouldn't want them to fight, never mind the Doctor. The John Smith I was getting to know... he knows it's wrong, doesn't he?

  John Smith : What choice do I have?

• John Smith : So your job was to execute me?

• John Smith : I must go to them, before anyone else dies.
