"The gate has to be guarded. There is no other way. The trouble is, human life spans, they're tiny. They're hilarious. You get used up too quickly. So what's the answer? Go on, figure it out. The answer's me. I go on for ages. I don't even really die, I regenerate. I can hold that gate until the sun goes out," the Doctor said.
No, Doctor!
"No you can't!" Bill said.
Listen to her!
"Course I can. I'm going to."
Listen to Bill!
"This isn't your job."
"No, it isn't, Bill. It's who I am." Kar moves towards the portal. "I've been standing by the gates of your world, keeping you all safe, since you crawled out of the slime. I'm not stopping now."
"Doctor, please!"
No!
"Listen, the TARDIS will take you home. Return journeys are easy."
"Listen to me," Bill objected.
"Leave the instruments on the current setting. Just hit them with a spanner. The weapon. Now."
Who are you to sacrifice yourself for this.
"No."
It was my mistake, not yours.
"Give it to me. Come on. You'll be safe. Tomorrow you'll be farming. You can name a cow after me."
Really?
"What about the other gates that you have to guard? What about the Vault?" Bill asked.
"The Vault will never exist if I let those things come through."
"Well, someone else better stop them."
"Nobody else can."
"I can." You have other things to do, Doctor. I don't know what they are, but others need you to do them.
"What are you saying?"
"Time to grow up, Doctor. Time to fight my fight." I'm ready!
