Some Favorite Scenes
The quotes themselves are pretty safe, however do not watch these scenes unless you have already seen them before/watched all the way through these episodes in their series; they are very spoilers. The shows/movies are very worth watching in entirety. If you’re not already a Doctor Who fan and would like to get into it with the “short” version, I have a thorough shortcut/episode guide I can offer, because similar was very generously gifted to me which got me very happily into Doctor Who in the first place.
The chairs scene in Knocked Up, Roslin’s response in BSG’s Blood on the Scales, The Doctor’s statement to his best friend Clara in Doctor Who’s Dark Water, River and The Doctor such as this statement in The Husbands of River Song
