This is the one from Rose which got me hooked straightaway:

Rose: "How come you sound like you're from the north?"
Doctor (defensively): "Lots of planets have a north!"

ETA: Ah, we've relocated. Spoiltags removed!

Possibly my favorite, from the end of The Parting of the Ways:

"Rose...before I go, I just want to tell you that you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.... And you know what? So was I."

Shall I lower the tone? "Dinner ... and bondage. Works for me!" (Margaret/Blon in Boom Town.

Some of the best quotes are from "The Doctor Dances."

Captain Jack: Okay! This can function as a sonic blaster, a sonic cannon, and a circle-and-hold sonic disruptor. Doc, what've you got?
The Doctor: I've got a sonic...
[fishes around in pockets, gets out his Sonic Screwdriver]
The Doctor: ... uh... oh, never mind.
Captain Jack: What?
The Doctor: It's sonic, okay, let's leave it at that.
Captain Jack: Disruptor, cannon, what?
The Doctor: It's sonic! Totally sonic! I'm soniced up!
Captain Jack: [shouting] A SONIC WHAT?
The Doctor: Screwdriver!
Captain Jack: Who has a sonic screwdriver? Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, "Woo, this could be a little more sonic"?


The Doctor: Don't drop that!
Captain Jack: Why not?
The Doctor: Good source of Potassium.

alliterator, you forgot the end of that first quote:
Captain Jack: Who has a sonic screwdriver? Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, "Woo, this could be a little more sonic"?
Doctor: What, you never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?

Yes, Steven Moffat is amazingly witty. "What's life? Nature's way of keeping meat fresh."

Russell Davies is not so bad himself:

"Who are you?"

"D'you know like we were sayin', about the Earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid: the first time they tell you that the world is turning, and you just can't quite believe it, 'cos everything looks like it's standing still? I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go--

That's who I am."

That one moment in "Rose" pinpointed the magic of the concept more strongly that I've ever seen it done, and I still feel a shiver up my back every time I hear it. Magnificent.

Oooh so many good ones already mentioned!

Off the top of my head: From "Father's Day" the Doctor talking to baby!Rose: "Now Rose you're not going to bring about the end of the world are you?"

Also for some reason in "Boomtown" the noise that Jack makes immitating the planet exploding is just hilarious.

And from "The Christmas Invasion", Ten: "Oooh! That was rude. Is that who I am now? Rude? Rude and not ginger." [approx]

I am ashamed of the amount of time I've spent trying to replicate that one. It's sort of toilet plunger meets car backfiring. Which is a bit of a strange image in itself.

Another couple from "Boom Town":

Jack: (Blah, blah, makes up a very thorough plan of action.)
Doctor: Excuse me. Who's in charge?
Jack: Sorry. Awaiting orders, sir.
Doctor: All right, here's the plan. Like he said.

and:

Mickey: What are you captain of, the innuendo squad?

For some reason, that one makes me sporfle every time.

I love this one from The Doctor Dances:
"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! ... I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words." Hee. So true.

"Been around 900 years, me. I think you can assume at some point I've ... danced."

"Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once! Everybody lives!" Aw.

And from Ten: "From the day they arrive on the planet, and blinking, step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than... no. Sorry, that's The Lion King. But, the point still stands... leave them alone!" It cracked me up.

And Azurekite, I love that bit of dialogue. He's just so defensive about it. It's really cute.

I'd probably have to go with this exchange for the best line from Rose:
JACKIE: I'm in my dressing gown.
DOCTOR: Yes, you are.
JACKIE: There's a strange man in my bedroom.
DOCTOR: Yes, there is.
JACKIE: Well, anything could happen.
DOCTOR (smiles and shakes his head): No.

And I love all the lines others have posted from Empty Child/ The Doctor Dances. Those are definitely two of my favorite episodes.

Oh, and a couple from my other-other-favorite episode, "Dalek":
Doctor: The Daleks have failed. 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: You would make a good Dalek.

And on a lighter note:
Doctor (going through Adam's supply of alien weapons): Broken. Broken. Hair dryer.

"I'm going to die! In a cellar! In Cardiff!"

That cracks up my innner shipper every time when he takes her hand and they smile! From Unquiet Dead

Doctor: There’s a way out. There’s always been a way out.
Rose: Then why don’t we use it?
The Doctor: Because I can’t guarantee your daughter will be safe.
Jackie: Don’t you dare. Whatever it is, don’t you dare.
The Doctor: That’s the thing. If I don’t dare, everyone dies.
Rose: Do it.
The Doctor: You don’t even know what it is. You’d just let me.
Rose: Yeah.
Jackie: Please, Doctor, please. She’s my daughter. She’s just a kid.
The Doctor: Do you think I don’t know that? Cause this is my life, Jackie. It’s not fun, it’s not smart, it’s just standing up and making a decision because nobody else will.
Rose: Then what’re you waiting for?
The Doctor: I could save the world, but lose you.

Rose: Doesn't the universe implode or something if you dance?
The Doctor: Well, I've got the moves, but I wouldn't want to boast.
Rose: You’ve got the moves, show me your moves. The world doesn't end 'cause the Doctor dances.
The Doctor: Rose, I'm-I'm resonating concrete.

Okay, so I'm a hopeless shipper...

What about 9 and Jackie from Aliens In London

Jackie: Go online, pretend your a doctor.

9: I am a doctor!

Jackie; Oh yeah prove it, stitch this mate [Slaps the crap out of him]

My favourite is the Doctor to Adam in "Dalek": "What are you gonna do? Throw your A-levels at me?"

A favorite Tennant quote, from Children in Need:

Rose: Can you change back?
Doctor: Do you want me to?
Rose: Yeah.
Doctor: Oh.
Rose: Can you?
Doctor: No.

It's how they say it.

And a favored somewhat dirty Jack quote:
FashionDroid1: But that's a compact laser delux!
FashionDroid1: Where were were you hiding that?
Jack: You really don't wanna know.

shocking!

de-spoiler-tagging, since the thread title says spoilers are ok here.

One of my favorites from "Father's Day":

Groom: Excuse me, you seem to know what's going on.
Doctor: Yes, I frequently give that impression.

How could I forget ...
"I think you need a Doctor."
(The Parting Of The Ways)
Mmm, yes please!

Changed topic title, please note, and moved to the Creative Forum.

Two other faves:

Bad Wolf

Anne-Droid: "Do you have a job?"
Rose: "Well, no..."
Anne-Droid: "Well, then you are unemployed. And yet you can still afford peroxide..."

EotW

Intercom: "Shuttles five and six now docking. Guests are reminded that Platform One forbids the use of weapons, teleportation and religion. Earth death is scheduled for 15:39, followed by drinks in the Manchester suite."

This from Classic Who takes some beating:

Doctor (who has just been verbally abused by some random thug): "You are the classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain".

On of my favourites hasn't been mentioned yet:

Rose: First time we met, he blew up my job. It's practically how he communicates.

Definite favorite
Rose: Well, look at you, you're not even in focus! *faints*

Probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard somebody on TV say, and it was friggin' hilarious. Seriously, I told my friend and re-enacted it for her, and we spent our entire soccer practice - 1 hour - laughing about it. We now use the line as a kind of greeting.
Frelling Tralk what ep is the first one from, and what didn't he wanna do?

How about any scene with Harriet Jones, introducing herself, you almost feel sorry for her. And on behalf of the local Sci-Fi group I would also like to submit

Doctor: I'm soniced up

We think it has a Captain Jack subtext to it.

The one in use the most around my household is:

MOONS of MADNESS!!!

Frelling Tralk: I agree! Shippers of the world unite!

I love all of Jack's sound effects in 'Boom Town'.
Also, all of the impossible-to-pronounce planets- Raxacoricofallapotorius and the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxerodenfoe. (No, I didn't look those up. Yes, I am obsessed.)

I love the London Eye bit- "A huge metal circular structure- like a dish, like a wheel- radial- close to where we're standing! Must be completely invisible." *said whilst standing right in front of the London Eye*

And, of course, "'I think you need a Doctor". Shippiness crossed with a 'doctor' pun. What more could you ask for?
Come to that, "What use are emotions if you will not save the woman you LOVE?" is also a good one.

There are just so many!

Some of my many, many favourite quotes.

The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances
Jack: "Flag Girl was bad enough, but U-Boat captain...!"

Jack: "Well, I've got a banana and at a pinch you could put up some shelves"

The Long Game
On the observation deck, Adam faints at the sight of the earth below
Doctor: "He's your boyfriend."
Rose: "Not any more."

Dalek
Doctor: "Broken. Broken. Hairdryer."

A favourite that's all in the delivery:

Jack: Ladies, *glance down, smirk* your viewing figures just went up.

Here are two of my favorites from Tom Baker's Doctor:

First the one that made me fall in love with the show at the age of ten. From "Robot":

"Childish? Of course, I'm being childish. There's no point in being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes."

Second, from "City of Death":

"Well, Countess, you're a beautiful woman, probably."

I don't know why but that line makes me laugh every single time.

one of my favorite baker lines is also "what's the point of being adult if you can't act childish."

Chronic hysteresis!

Also, sarah jane, because I once memorized it, but may have it out of order now:

Sarah: Doctor.... I'm sick of being savaged by bug-eyed monsters, hypnotized left right and center... I want a bath. I want my hair washed. I just want to feel human again! Doctor! Are you even listening? I said, I'm packing my goodies, and I'm going HOME!

Doctor: what? did you say something?

(of course, we've seen there's a giant swimming pool in there, so one must assume there's a shower... and other facilities... but assuming sarah was just going with it. I also love her little owl she's holding here. And flowerpot. Like the props folks just shoved random things at her.)

It's been a long time since I've seen this one, but I needed to add my favorite Brigadear quote: "That chap with the wings there, five rounds, rapid." from The Daemons

From "Bad Wolf":

Game lady person: "We were just doing our jobs."
Doctor: "And with that sentence, you just lost the right to even talk to me. Now back off!"

Probably the doctors most famous quote "To be fair I did have a few things he didnt, like a teaspoon and an open mind."

And my favourite quote from the unit officer who I cant remember the name of

"You know just once id like to meet an alien menace that wasnt immune to bullets"

From The Christmas Invasion:

Sycorax Leader: "I can summon the armada and take this world by force!"

Doctor: "Well, yeah, you could, you could do that, course you could, but why? Look at these people, these human beings, consider their potential. From the day they arrive on this planet and blinking, step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do... no, hold on... sorry, that's The Lion King... but the point still stands! Leave them alone!"

Love the one that the thread title comes from. And I despair that, unless I go through an extremely complicated set-up involving a psychic and a sceptic friend, I will never, ever, be able to use it. Screw.

Also, just for the amazing delivery. "Am I...*ginger*?" Constantly cracks me up.

My vote's for a line from The Christmas Invasion:

Doctor: No second chances - I'm that sort of a man.

Love the delivery and how it's such a change from his ebullient/nonchalant attitude before this.

Also from The Christmas Invasion:

Rose: Both working.
Jackie: What do mean both?
Rose: Well he's got 2 hearts.
Jackie: Oh don't be stupid.
Rose: Well he has.
Jackie: Anything else he's got 2 of?

lidja: And Jackie's speculative look right after, when Rose leaves the room, like she's about to check for herself... priceless.

Also from the Christmas Invasion:

the Doctor regrows his hand.
Sycorax leader: Witchcraft!
the Doctor: Timelord.

It's all in the way he says it. I also love his "what type of man am I?" speech with the "Sexy?" and the clicking tongue and wink to Rose.

Hey, I just watched that ep! It's from Empty Child. Jack just rescued Rose from falling from the barrage balloon.

Rose: "What, are you expecting me to faint or something?"
Jack: "Uh, you look a little dizzy."
Rose: "What about you? You're not even in focus!"

Another good line from that ep:

Doctor: "I wanna find a blonde in a Union Jack. I mean a specific one, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving."

I love the blonde in a Union Jack quote. He's so cute and adorable with the kids. Sigh.

I love this line from Jack in TPotW, when the Daleks are telling him everyone's going to die if the Doctor uses the Delta wave: "Never doubted him. Never will." Jack so loves the Doctor.

From "New Earth". The Face of Boe is talking telepathically to the Doctor and CassandRose says

"Just what I need. A head full of Bigface."

As with other quotes, it's all in the delivery.

And every time Nine or Ten says "Hello" with a big grin, I'm just a squeeing puddle of fangirl goo.

(edited to remove spoiler tags because TPTP says I can!)

CASSANDRA/ROSE: Gosh... she's with the Doctor... a man... he's the Doctor... the same Doctor with a new face! That hypocrite! I must get the name of his surgeon.

That lline just gets me every time, it's just classic Cassandra

xtreme, I think it's 'that hypocrite' that makes it art.


Hee! And word.

I thought DT was hilarious as Cassandra as Ten, even down to the way he sceptically took the sonic screwdriver out of his pocket. And speaking of delivery,

"I've been inside your head. You've been looking. You liiike it."

And "No matter how difficult the situation, there is no need to shout."

you forgot one

"Oh my lord, I'm a walking doodle." ... It just makes me giggle. The delivery is just perfect.

Is it just me or did Cassandra get a lot of good lines? come to think of it so did Captain Jack

That's the one part of the show where it looks like I'm watching Billie Piper trying to keep a straight face, and not Rose when he's saying that...


Absolutement, xtreme! And the posessees all looked like they had a lot of fun playing Cassandra too.

just watched Tooth and Claw, and from what I got to see of it I think the women got the best lines, especially the Lady of the Manor and The Queen.

and for older qoutes, this is a firm favourite.

The Doctor: [The TARDIS has just crash landed on earth and a newly regenerated Doctor appears from within. He is a bit disorientated after his transformation] Here we are then. London, Earth... Solar system. I did it.
[seeing Jackie and Mickey]
The Doctor: Jackie, Mickey, blimey! No, no, no, no. Hold on. Wait there. I've got something to say. There's something I had to tell you. Something important. What was it? No, hold on, hold on... Oh, I know! Merry Christmas.
[he suddenly passes out. Rose emerges from the TARDIS]
Rose Tyler: What happened? Is he all right?
Mickey Smith: I don't know. He just keeled over. But who is he? Where's the Doctor?
Rose Tyler: That's him, right in front of you. That's the Doctor.
Jackie Tyler: What do you mean that's the Doctor? Doctor who?

Mm, I saw it too.. Agree with you xtreme, the women did get some of the best lines, but I particularly loved these:

[The Doctor and Rose have just landed, and are surrounded by a group of Guards]
Guard: You will explain your presence. And the nakedness of this girl.
The Doctor: Oh, are we in Scotland??
Guard: How can you be ignorant of that?
The Doctor: Oh uh, I'm dazed and confused.. I've been chasing this, this wee naked child [gestures to Rose]

The Doctor: We just met Queen Victoria!
Rose: I know!!..
The Doctor: What a lark/laugh.
Rose: She was just sittin' there!
The Doctor: Like a stamp.
Rose: I wanted to say [in accent] 'We are not amused.'.. I bet you five quid I can make her say it.
The Doctor: Well, if I gambled on that, it'd be an abuse of my privelege as a traveller in time.
Rose: Ten quid?
The Doctor: Done.

Teehee.

Heee! Also from CI, this is gold:

Ten: My head! I'm having a neural implosion ... I need...
Jackie: What do you need?
Ten: I need...
Jackie: Just say it!
Ten: I need...
Jackie: Tell me, tell me, tell me!
Ten: I need...
Jackie: Painkillers!
Ten: I need...
Jackie: D'you need aspirin?
Ten: I need...
Jackie: Codeine? Paracetamol? Oh, I dunno, Pepto-Bismol?
Ten: I need...
Jackie: Liquid paraffin? Vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E?
Ten: I need...
Jackie: Is it food? Something simple? Bowl of soup? Nice bowl of soup? Soup and a sandwich? Bowl of soup and a nice ham sandwich?!
Ten: I *need* you to SHUT UP!
Jackie: Oooh, he hasn't changed that much, has he?

And from Tooth and Claw;

(Werewolf coming towards them)
Rose: What do we do?
Ten: Weee...run!
Rose: Is that it?
Ten: (snarks) You got any silver bullets?
Rose: (snarks back) Not on me, no!
Ten: There we are then. We run! Your Majesty, as a doctor I recommend a vigorous jog. Good for the health!

Heh.
