Rose: Two hundred thousand years in the future, he’s dying, and there’s nothing I can do.

Jackie: Well, like you said, two hundred thousand years—it’s way off.

Rose: But it’s not. It’s now. That fight is happening right now, and he’s fighting for us, for the whole planet, and I’m just sitting here eating chips!

Jackie: Listen to me—God knows I have hated that man, but right now, I love him and do you know why? Because he did the right thing. He sent you back to me. 

Rose: But what do I do every day, mum? What do I do? Get up, catch the bus, go to work, come back home, eat chips, and go to bed? Is that it?

Mickey: It’s what the rest of us do.

Rose: But I can’t!

Mickey: Why, ‘cause you’re better than us?

Rose: No, I didn’t mean that! ..But it was. It was a better life. And I don’t mean all the travelling and seeing aliens and spaceships and things. That don’t matter. The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life. You know he showed you too. That you don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand. You say no. You have the guts to do what’s right when everyone else just runs away, and I just can’t! I can’t!
