"Well I DID!" he yelled, then stopped himself. "Angry. I don't like being angry. But there we are, I'm angry." And he made mistakes when he was angry. Mistakes that cost his best friends their baby, that gave River a harder life than she ever should have had at the hands of Kovarian.
"Even if I had that power, and flying without a Tardis is NOT pleasant, thank you, even if I had that power, I'd not abandon her. She'd never abandon me. Everyone else leaves in time." Leaves, or dies. "But not the Tardis, and I'll not just sit and twiddle my thumbs, thanks all the same."
"You think the Metacrisis Doctor was more the Doctor than I am? Well then fine, I leave you to him, Rose Tyler. Because no, I don't care to help the people who try to trap me. Not any more. The people who try to hurt me by kidnapping and hurting my friends?" A hand through his hair. He didn't want to be angry, didn't want to be mad. Not even at a fake of Rose. So who am I trying to help? Whoever else might fall into this trap. You think this is the first place to try and drag Timelords out of the universe? I'll not see any more Tardises eaten, thanks. No more parts of friends sewn and stitched up onto other people. And for you, just for you, I'll give you this. This one thing. This one thing that others have learned, that whoever set this trap and used your face to torment me will learn, Rose who isn't Rose Tyler, there is one thing that you should never put in a trap. Never. Not if you want to survive. And whoever is using this place to trap Timelords? Just made that mistake."
