The Doctor: What's the use of a good quotation if you can't change it?

Brigadier: Naturally enough, the only country that could be trusted with such a role was Great Britain. The Doctor: Naturally. I mean, the rest were all foreigners.

The Doctor: As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves.

The Doctor: Fear makes companions of us all.

Jamie: Have you thought up some clever plan, Doctor? The Doctor: Yes Jamie, I believe I have. Jamie: What are you going to do? The Doctor: Bung a rock at it.

Russell: Who are you? The Doctor: I've already told you. I am known as the Doctor. I'm also a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. Russell: You're bonkers. The Doctor: That's debatable.

The Doctor: I'm a Time Lord... I walk in Eternity.

Group-Captain Gilmore: What am I dealing with? Little green men? The Doctor: No, little green blobs in bonded polycarbide armor.

Ace: These Dayleks... The Doctor: Daleks. Ace: Oh, Daleks. Where are they from? The Doctor: From Skaro. At least originally. They're the mutated remains of a species called the Kaleds. Left here. Ace: When were they left here? The Doctor: No! Turn left here. Ace: Oh, right. The Doctor: No, left! You've missed the turning! Ace: What turn, where? The Doctor: Why don't you concentrate on where you're going? Ace: Well, I'm doing the best I can. If you don't like it, you drive!

Ace: Professor, I'm hungry! Lack of food makes me hungry, you know. The Doctor: Lack of food makes you obstreperous!

The Doctor: Listen to me, Brigadier! Group-Captain Gilmore: Group-Captain! Group-Captain Gilmore!

The Doctor: I've lit the blue touch paper and found there's nowhere to retire to.

The Doctor: Oh, things are getting out of control - even *I* can't play this many games at once!

The Doctor: Who was it said Earthmen never invite their ancestors round to dinner?

(last words before regeneration) The Doctor: What did you say, my boy? "It's all over?" That's what you said... but it isn't at all. It's far from being all over...

The Doctor: Dreams are important... never underestimate them.

Alydon: There is no indignity in being afraid to die. But there is a terrible shame in being afraid to live.

(Seron has just undergone a test to prove his integrity) Consul Seron: (weakly) Your judgement, Keeper? The Keeper of Traken: You are blameless, Seron, but doomed. And we are *both* betrayed.

Queen Thalira: But I'm only a girl... Sarah: Your Majesty, there's nothing "only" about being a girl.

The Doctor: When we were on the river we heard the unearthly babble of inhuman voices, didn't you, Romana? Professor Chronotis: Oh, undergraduates talking to each other, I expect. I'm trying to have it banned.

Countess Scarlioni: Oh, Doctor, I'm quite convinced you're perfectly mad. The Doctor: Only at my worst. Nobody's perfect.

The Doctor: You're a beautiful woman, probably.

(on oil) The Doctor: It's about time the people who run this planet of yours realized that to be dependent on a mineral slime just doesn't make sense.

The Doctor: Deactivating a generator loop without the correct key is like repairing a watch with a hammer and chisel. One false move and you'll never know the time again.

The Doctor: Never cared much for the word "impregnable." Sounds a bit too much like "unsinkable." Harry: What's wrong with "unsinkable"? The Doctor: Nothing. As the iceberg said to the Titanic. Harry: What? The Doctor: Gloop, gloop, gloop, gloop, gloop, gloop, gloop.

The Doctor: Once upon a time there were three sisters, and they lived in the bottom of a treacle well. Their names were Olga, Marsha and Irene... Are you listening, Tillie? I feel disorientated. Sarah: This is the disorientation centre. The Doctor: That makes sense.

The Doctor: You can't rule the world in hiding. You've got to come out on the balcony sometimes and wave a tentacle.

The Doctor: You want me to volunteer, is that it? And if I don't? White Guardian: Nothing. The Doctor: You mean nothing'll happen to me? White Guardian: Nothing. Ever.

(after two people fall into an acid pit) The Doctor: Forgive me if I don't join you.

Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown: Don't drop me. The Doctor: Drop you? I'll be lucky if I can lift you, the amount you weigh. Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown: Watch it porky!

(we see the Android's Point of view. The camera cuts back to reveal the Cybermen watching this) Cyberleader: Destroy them! Destroy them at once! (the credits roll)

Cyber Controller: Emotion is a weakness. The Doctor: I don't think so. Cyber Controller: It brought you back for your friend, and it will cost you your life.

The Doctor: I thought the Cybermen had destroyed the Cryons. Flast: So did they. But as you see, some of us survived. Not many, but some. You're looking very blue. The Doctor: Do you mean depressed, or cold? Flast: Ah, I think I shall enjoy your company. The Doctor: Not for long, I hope. I won't last half an hour in here, I'm freezing.

Herbert: Who would know? The Doctor: I would. So would every Time Lord from here to Gallifrey, and I can assure you they are not all as pleasant and agreeable as I am.

The Doctor: I was trying to save the lives of several hundred innocent people. Surely, not even in the eyes of Time Lords can that be found either immature or a crime.

The Doctor: Take your hands off me! The Doctor: This way. The Doctor: No, this way. The Doctor: Now look, you got me into this mess!

The Doctor: You always did lack style. The Master: Style is hardly the prime characteristic of your new regeneration.

Flast: You are a Timelord? The Doctor: Yes, and at the moment a rather angry one!

The Doctor: Wait a minute, I know you. You're the Chamberlain. Chamberlain: Yes, that's right sir. The Doctor: I don't like you.

The Master: How well you know me, Doctor... my strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure.

The Doctor: When you travel around as much as I do, it's almost inevitable that you'll run into yourself at some point.

Davros: Ours is the victory, Nyder. They talk of democracy, freedom, fairness. Those are the creeds of cowards! The ones who would listen to a thousand opinions and try to satisfy them all. Achievement comes through absolute power! And power through strength! They have lost!

The Master: At last, Doctor I've cut you down to size.

The Master: But first things first. I've a death to arrange.

The Master: I don't know, rocket fire at long range - somehow it lacks that personal touch.

The Master: Predictable as ever, Doctor.

(the sixth doctor's last lines) The Doctor: Carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice.

(repeated line) The Doctor: Watch, listen and learn.

The Doctor: I always like to do the unexpected, it takes people by surprise.

The Doctor: Watch it, Mestor!

The Doctor: The sound of giant slugs!

The Master: This Traken web of harmony is broken. I am free!

Nyssa: You killed my father? The Master: But his body remains useful.

The Master: Logopolis is a cold place... a cold high place overlooking the universe. It holds a single great secret, Nyssa.

The Master: You are all animal now. You're so weak, your will devoured... a stronger mind will hold on to itself longer. A will as strong as mine... how much longer? If I am to suffer this degradation, this humiliation, if I am to become an animal then like an animal I will destroy you, Doctor. I will. Hunt you, trap you, and destroy you. Probably my favourite of all.

(repeated line.) The Master: I am The Master and you will obey me!

Ace: You know what's going on. The Doctor: Yes. Ace: You always know. You just can't be bothered to tell anyone. It's like it's some kind of a game, and only you know the rules. You knew all about that inscription being a computer programme, but you didn't tell me! You know about that old bottle and you're not telling me! Am I so stupid? The Doctor: No that's not it. Ace: Why then, I want to know! The Doctor: Evil, evil since the dawn of time! Ace: What do you mean? The Doctor: Oh will you stop asking me these questions! Ace: (shouts) Tell me! The Doctor: (powerfully) The dawn of time. The beginning of all beginnings. Two forces, only good and evil. Then chaos. Time is born, matter, space. The universe cries out like a newborn. The forces shatter as the universe explodes outwards. Only echoes remain, and yet somehow, somehow, the evil force survives. An intelligence. Pure evil! Ace: And that's Fenric? The Doctor: No. That's just Millington's name for it. Evil has no name. Trapped inside a flask like a genie in a bottle. Ace: Can we stop it? The Doctor: We need to get that flask. Ace: We can release Captain Sorin to help us. I can distract the guard. The Doctor: How? Ace: Professor... I'm not a little .

The Doctor: I tolerate this century but I don't enjoy it.

The Doctor: A rash action is worse than no action at all.

The Doctor: You know, I am so constantly outwitting the opposition, I tend to forget the delight and satisfaction of the arts... the gentle art of fisticuffs.

The Doctor: You could augment an earwig to the point where it understood nuclear physics, but it would still be a very stupid thing to do!

The Doctor: I think you'll find, Sir, that I'm qualified to deal with practically everything, if I choose.

The Doctor: I am the Doctor, whether you like it or not

The Doctor: Mainly decaying food... and corpses. That is the smell of death, Peri - ancient must, heavy in the air... fruit-soft flesh peeling from white bones... the unholy, unburiable smell of Armageddon. Nothing quite so evocative as one's sense of smell, is there?

The Doctor: Small though it is, the human brain can be quite effective when used properly.

The Doctor: Rest is for the weary, sleep is for the dead.

The Doctor: He doesn't have to outrun the lion, only his friend. Then the lion catches up with his friend and eats him. The strong survive, the weak are killed - the law of the jungle! Yes, very clever, if you don't mind losing your friend. But what happens when the next lion turns up? I think you'd better get your running shoes on, gentlemen.

The Doctor: I can hear the sound of empires toppling.

Brigadier: Oh, dear. Women. Not really my field. The Doctor: Don't worry, Brigadier. People will be shooting at you soon.

The Master: It seems we must always meet again. The Doctor: They do say opposites attract.

Ancelyn: (to the Doctor) My Lord Merlin. Brigadier: Merlin? Ancelyn: He has many names. Brigadier: He also has many faces. (seeing Ace) And he has many companions. This must be the latest one.

Lord Palmerdale: Are you in charge here? The Doctor: No, but I'm full of ideas.

Brigadier: As long as he does the job, he can wear what face he likes.

Brigadier: Most of their work's so secret, they don't know what they're doing themselves.

Dalek: There is only one form of life that matters - Dalek life.

The Doctor: Marshal, you are quite mad. Marshal: Only if I lose.

The Doctor: Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

Adric: Will Romana be all right? The Doctor: All right? She'll be superb.

Draconian Emperor: An emperor who does not rule deposes himself.

Eldrad: Where are your weapons? The Doctor: (tapping his head) In here.

Shockeye: I am not interested in the beliefs of primitives - only in what they taste like.

The Doctor: One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in your beliefs, and prove to me I am not mistaken in mine.

(repeated line) Dalek: I am your servant.

The Doctor: I'm not only from another culture but another planet. I am in your terms an alien.

The Doctor: My last incarnation . . . oh, I was never happy with that one. It had a sort of feckless "charm" which simply wasn't *me*!

The Master: The Doctor won't tolerate anyone deliberately playing havoc with his favorite planet.

(To Peri.) Jamie: I think your Doctor's worse than mine.

The Doctor: I was trying to help. Surely even a blockhead like you can see that!

Glitz: Somehow I always feel foolish saying this . . . Take me to your leader!

(to The Master) The Rani: You're unbalanced. no wonder the Doctor always outwits you.

(The Master has The Doctor captive and is bragging yet again) The Rani: Do stop squabbling and get on with it!

Dalek: Daleks are bett- different than humans.

Gwendoline: (sings) I don't know what it is about my figure and my style / Then when I walk around the passers by do smile / I lost myself in Kensington/about a week today / I asked a cabman my way home / And to me he did say / That's the way to the zoo / That's the way to the zoo / The monkey house is nearly full / But there's room enough for you / Take a bus to Regent's Park / Make haste before it shuts / Next Sunday I shall come and give you such a bunch of nuts

(repeated line) The Doctor: When I say run, run.

The Doctor: You can't rewrite history. Not one line!

The Doctor: Well, if we count in Earth terms, I suppose I must be about 400 - yes, about 450 years old! Yes. Well. Quite.

The Doctor: (reassuring Victoria, who misses her father, with recollections of his own family) I have to really want - to bring them back in front of my eyes. The rest of the time they... sleep in my mind and I forget. And so will you.

The Doctor: (translating a Norse inscription) "We hoped to return to the North Way, but the curse follows our dragon ship... the Wolves of Fenric shall return for their treasure, and then shall the dark rule eternally."

Skaroth: The centuries that divide me shall be undone.

The Doctor: "Only in mathematics will we find truth." Borusa used to say that during my time at the Academy - and now he's setting out to prove it.

Brigadier: A dream? Really, Doctor. You'll be consulting the entrails of a sheep next.

Omega: Absolute power is absolute freedom.

Daleks: Advance and attack. Attack and destroy. Destroy and rejoice.

Adric: Could anyone pass the sodium chloride, please?

The Doctor: Don't worry. I always leave things until the last moment.

The Doctor: Duggan, why is it that every time I start to talk to someone, you knock them unconscious?

Garron: I admit I had a great struggle with me conscience. Fortunately, I won.

Sanders: I never think twice about anything. Wastes too much time.

Guard: I think you'll find that most educated people regard mythical convictions as functionally animistic. Personally, I find most experiences border on the existential.

The Doctor: Excuse me, what's your attitude towards the nature of existence? For example, do you hold any theological opinions? Guard: I think you'll find that most educated people regard mythical convictions as fundamentally animistic... Personally, I find most experiences border on the existential. The Doctor: How would you reconcile that with the empirio-critical belief that experience is at the root of all phenomena? Guard: I think you'll find that a concept can be philosophically valid even if theologically meaningless.

Ace: Don't you have things you hate? The Doctor: I can't stand burnt toast. I loathe bus stations - terrible places, full of lost luggage and lost souls. And then there's unrequited love, and tyranny, and cruelty. Ace: Too right. The Doctor: We all have a world of our own terrors to face. Ace: I face mine on my own terms!

Dalek: Small human female sighted at - Ace: Who are you calling small? (Ace begins to destroy it with her baseball bat) Dalek: Under attack! Under attack! Reinforcements requested!

The Doctor: Well, well. The Rani. I can't say I think much about your outfit. Doesn't do a thing for you. The Rani: Your regeneration isn't too appealing either.

(on The Master) The Rani: He'd get dizzy if he tried to walk in a straight line!

The Rani: Leave the girl, it's the man I want.

The Doctor: Love has never been known for its rationality.

Burton: You are not the Happy Hearts Holiday Club from Bolton, but instead are spacemen in fear of an attack from some other spacemen?

Ace: Do you feel like arguing with a can of deodorant that registers nine on the Richter scale?

Melanie 'Mel' Bush: Oh, all right, you win. The Doctor: I do? I usually do. Melanie 'Mel' Bush: I'm going now. The Doctor: That's right, yes, you're going. You've gone for ages, you've already gone, you're still here, just arrived, haven't even met you yet. It all depends on who you are and how you look at it. Strange business, time.

Olvir: I'd hate to end the universe by mistake.

Borusa: If heroes do not exist, it is necessary to invent them. Good for public morale.

Lethbridge-Stewart: In the last decade, we've been sending probes deeper and deeper into space. We've drawn attention to ourselves, Miss Shaw.

Poul: Somebody interrupted Chubb - with both hands.

The Doctor: Terran insects. Aerodynamically impossible for them to fly, but they do it. I'm rather fond of bumblebees.

The Doctor: That is the dematerializing control, and that over yonder is the horizontal hold; up there is the scanner, those are the doors, and that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy. Now please stop bothering me.

The Doctor: That was simply transmigration of object. There's a great deal of difference between that and pure science, you know.

The Doctor: That's the trouble with antimatter. You can see the effect but not the cause. It's like being punched on the nose by the invisible man.

Davros: The creatures of Earth have no stomach for judicial murder. They prefer to leave you to rot and die. They call it being humane.

Biroc: The weak enslave themselves.

The Doctor: They say the atmosphere there was so full of goodness that evil just shriveled up and died. Maybe that's why I never went there.

The Doctor: To the rational mind, nothing is inexplicable; only unexplained.

Hepesh: To the unbeliever, all signs are as dust in the wind.

The Doctor: We are not of this race. We are not of this earth. Susan and I are wanderers in the fourth dimension of space and time, cut off from our own people by distances beyond the reach of your most advanced science.

Dalek: We are the masters of the earth!

A Dalek: We have already conquered earth. The Doctor: Conquered the earth? You poor deluded creature. Don't you realise before you conquer earth you will have to eliminate all human creation? A Dalek: Take them! Take them! We are the masters of earth. We are the masters of earth!

Ian Chesterton: They dare to tamper with human existence? The Doctor: Yes, they dare. And we have got to dare to stop them!

Cyberleader: You have affection for this girl? The Doctor: She's a friend. Cyberleader: Kill her! The Doctor: No! (he leaps in front of her) Cyberleader: Now do you think emotions are a weakness? The Doctor: No. Cyberleader: You are mistaken, Doctor. All I need do is threaten the girl's life for you to obey me.

Sarah: Doctor, are you serious? The Doctor: About what I do, yes. Not necessarily the way I do it.

The Master: It's always the innocent bystanders who suffer most. The Third Doctor: What's that supposed to mean? The Master: (aims pistol) I'm afraid you're about to become the victims of stray bullets.

The Master: One must rule or serve. That is the basic law of life. Why do you hesitate? Surely it's not loyalty to the Time Lords, who exiled you to one insignificant planet? The Doctor: You'll never understand. I want to see the universe, not to rule it.

Capt Mike Yates: I see. So all we've got to deal with is something which is either too small to see or thirty feet tall, can incinerate you or freeze you to death, turn stone images into homicidal monsters and looks like the devil. The Doctor: Exactly.

Dalek: We are the superior beings!

Davros: I created you. I am the master. Not you, I, I I! Dalek: Our programming does not permit us to acknowledge that any creature is superior to the Daleks. Davros: You cannot exist without me. You cannot progress. Dalek: We are programmed to survive. We have the ability to develop in any way necessary to ensure that survival.

The Master: Who in the whole galaxy is not my inferior? There is not one creature!

The Master: The whole world can be ours. I only need two things - your submission and your obedience to my will!

The Doctor: I'm sorry to tell you that Romana can look after herself. We're Time Lords. Not like those innocents on Atrios, you know. Time Lords, sent by the Guardian to recover the Key to Time. The Shadow: I know who you are, Doctor, I have always known. I have been waiting for you. I too serve a Guardian, a Guardian equal and opposite in power to the one you serve. The Black Guardian - he who walks in darkness. And you are in the valley of the Shadow!

A Dalek: We must find the traitors. The enemy of the Daleks must be destroyed. Dalek: We are not traitors. We serve our creator Davros. A Dalek: The Supreme Dalek is your ruler! He must be obeyed at all times. Dalek: Davros must be honoured. A Dalek: He must be exterminated. Nothing must interfere in the true destiny of the Daleks! You must be exterminated! Exterminated! (shouts) Exterminated!

Dalek: You will come with us. Davros: No. Take him, he is a sworn enemy of the Daleks. He is the Doctor. The Doctor: Doctor? No. Dalek: His image does not compute with the known appearance of the doctor. Davros: He's regenerated, fool! Dalek: He will be held prisoner until we can verify if you are correct. You will come with us, or be exterminated here! Davros: You have not heard the last of me. I shall return! The Doctor: And I shall be waiting for you.

Davros: For the last time. I am your creator! You must, you *will* obey me! Dalek: We obey no-one. We are the superior beings! (shouts) Exterminate!

Dalek: EXTERMINATE! DALEKS CONQUER AND DESTORY! DALEKS CONQUER AND DESTROY!

Dalek: The only interest we have in the Thals is their total extermination!

Dalek: 'Rebels of London, this is your last offer - our final warning. Leave your hiding places. Show yourselves in the open streets. You will be fed and watered. Work is needed from you... but the Daleks offer you life. Rebel against us and the Daleks will destroy London completely. You will all die. The males, the females, the descendants. Rebels of London, come out of your hiding places.

Dalek: The daleks offer you life.

Dalek: We are entombed, but we live on. This is only the beginning. We will prepare, we will grow stronger. When the time is right we will emerge and take our rightful place as (shouts) the supreme power of the universe!

Davros: You hesitate Doctor. If I were you I'd be dead. The Doctor: I lack your practice, Davros. Davros: You are soft, like all Time Lords. You prefer to stand and watch. Action requires courage. Something you lack.

Davros: I have waited a long time for this. Once the Doctor is exterminated, I shall build a new race of Daleks. They will be even more deadly and I, Davros, shall be their leader! This time we shall triumph. My Daleks shall once more become the supreme beings!

Cyberman: Feelings? Yes we know of this weakness of yours. We do not possess feelings.

Cyberman: Only stupid Earth brains like yours would have been fooled.

Cyber Controller: You belong to us. You will be like us.

The Emperor Dalek: Silence. The Human Factor showed us what the Dalek Factor was. The Doctor: (his face falling) What? Jamie: Well, what does that mean? The Emperor Dalek: Without knowing, you have shown the Daleks what their own strength is. Edward Waterfield: While you were doing one thing, they were really making you do another. The Emperor Dalek: The human factor is useless. The Doctor: You still have those three Daleks to contend with. The Emperor Dalek: They will be impregnated with the Dalek Factor. Your discovery, but your work is not over. The Doctor: I won't work for you! The Emperor Dalek: You will obey! Jamie: What is the Dalek Factor? The Doctor: You want me to guess? It means to obey, to fight, to destroy, to exterminate. I won't do it. The Emperor Dalek: Watch. (a light comes on, revealing the TARDIS) Jamie: The TARDIS, Doctor! The Emperor Dalek: You will take the Dalek Factor. You will spread it to the entire history of Earth!

Cyberman: You will be wondering what has happened. Your astronomers will have just discovered a new planet. Is that not so? Barclay: Yes, that's right. Cyberman: That is where we come from. It is called Mondas. Ben Jackson: Mondas? Barclay: Mondas? But isn't that one of the ancient names of Earth? Cyberman: Yes. Aeons ago our planets were twins then we drifted away from you on a journey to the edge of space. Now we have returned.

Krail: You must come and live with us. Polly Wright: But we cannot live with you! You're different. You've got no feelings. Krail: Feelings? I do not understand that word. The Doctor: Emotions. Love. Pride. Hate. Fear. Have you no emotions, sir? Krail: Come to Mondas and you will have no need of emotions. You will become like us.

The Valeyard: Whether the Doctor has proved himself innocent of meddling is no longer the cardinal issue before this court. He has proved himself guilty of a far greater crime. The Inquisitor: You refer to article seven of Gallifreyan Law? The Doctor: No, my Lady, that can not apply! Had a single Vervoid reached earth, the human race would have been eliminated. The Valeyard: Article seven permits no exceptions. The Doctor has destroyed a complete species. The charge must now be genocide. (cue end credits)

Dalek Supreme: The ship and its occupants must be totally destroyed. Destroyed! Destroyed! A Dalek: It will be done.

Malpha: This is indeed an historic moment in the history of the universe! We six from the outer galaxies, joining with the power from the solar system - the Daleks! The seven of us represent the greatest war force ever assembled! Conquest is assured!

The Celestial Toymaker: I'm bored. I love to play games but there's no-one to play against. The beings who call here have no minds, and so they become my toys. But you will become my perpetual opponent. We shall play endless games together, your brain against mine.

Dalek: To defy the daleks is death! Dalek: They will pay for their crimes!

(repeated line) Cyber Controller: We will survive.

Cyber Controller: These humanoids are not like us. They still have fear.

Cyber Leader: So Doctor, a new appearance. It seems we were wise to anticipate your involvement. Eradicate them!

(the Daleks are killing each other) The Emperor Dalek: This is your Emperor! You will obey me! Do not fight in here! Do not fight in here! DO NOT FIGHT IN HERE! (they continue) You will all be exterminated! Obey me! OBEY!

The Doctor: And he's started with Inspector McKenzie. Josiah Samuel Smith: The "cream" of Scotland Yard! The Doctor: Primordial soup. The most precious substance in the universe, from which all life springs. Light: Mainly sugars and amino acids. But it will soon start to evolve again!

Control: My half bidding done. Your desiring, in the darkness you shall find it! Josiah Samuel Smith: (scared) Don't let it out! (he gets electrocuted) The Doctor: Light! (a bright light bursts from the doors)

The Master: I'm afraid your about to become the victim of stray bullets.

The Doctor: Oh, so you are my replacements. A dandy and a clown. Have you done anything? The Doctor: Well we've assessed the situation... The Doctor: Just as I thought. Nothing.

Cyberman: Effective penetration should be immediate.

(to the time lords) The Doctor: All these evils I have fought, while you have done nothing but observe! True, I am guilty of interference. Just as you are guilty of failing to use your great powers to help those in need!'

The Master: The human body has a basic weakness. One which I shall exploit to assist in the destruction of humanity.

The Master: (on the TARDIS) Overweight, underpowered museum piece... Might as well try to fly a second hand gas stove.

The Master: Ah, the tribal taboos of army etiquette. I find it difficult to identify with such primitive absurdities.

The Master: Nobody, and nothing, can stop me now!

The Rani: I have the Loyhargil! Nothing can stop me now!

The Doctor: Well, if he really does believe such unimaginable rubbish he must be faced by some unimaginable disaster which has unhinged his mind.

Yrcanos: Today prudence shall be our watch word, tomorrow we shall soak the land in blood!

The Doctor: No, there's something else going on here. I was taken out of time for another reason and I have every intention of finding out what it is!

The Valeyard: The future? Is it going to be the Doctor's defense that he improves? The Sixth Doctor: Precisely. The Valeyard: This I must see.

The Doctor: This is a situation that requires tact and finesse. Fortunately, I am blessed with both.

The Doctor: More of a clown actually. Would you like to hear my rendering of "On With the Motley"?

The Valeyard: There's nothing you can do to prevent the catharsis of spurious morality.

Davros: The Movellan ship will never lift off! Soon my Daleks, carrying more than half a megaton of explosives, will press against the hull and I will simply activate this control to detonate. The Doctor: Really? And how would you stop me activating that control before they reach their target? Davros: (a Dalek approaches the Doctor from behind) I would not. The Doctor: Really? Dalek: (shouts) Do not move! Davros: You see, there's nothing you can do to stop it now!

Cyberleader: Cybermen can survive more efficiently than animal organisms. That is why we will rule the galaxy.

Cyber Lieutenant: A Time Lord. But they're forbidden to interfere. Cyber Leader: This one calls himself the Doctor - and does nothing else but interfere.

The Doctor: Emotions have their uses. Cyberleader: They restrict and curtail the intellect and logic of the mind. The Doctor: They also enhance life. When did you last have the pleasure of smelling a flower, watching a sunset, eating a well-prepared meal? Cyberleader: These things are irrelevant. The Doctor: For some people, small, beautiful events is what life is all about!

(the doctor is locked in a basement with a dalek) The Doctor: Ace! Open the door! Ace, op... (he turns and sees the dalek is levitating up the stairs) Dalek: You are the doctor! You are the enemy of the daleks! You will be exterminated. EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

Chub: 'There was a Voc therapist in Kaldor City once. Specially programmed, equipped with vibro-digits, subcutaneous stimulators, the lot. You know what happened, Borg? Its first client wanted treatment for a stiff elbow. The Voc therapist felt carefully all round the joint, and then suddenly just twisted his arm off at the shoulder. Shoompf. All over in two seconds.

D84: It is a Laserson probe. It can punch a fist-sized hole through six-inch armour plate, or take the crystals from a snowflake one by one.

D84: Please do not throw hands at me.

Lethbridge-Stewart: You know, just once I'd like to meet an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets.

The Doctor: If someone who knew the future, pointed out a child to you and told you that that child would grow up totally evil, to be a ruthless dictator who would destroy millions of lives... could you then kill that child? Sarah: We're talking about the Daleks. The most evil creatures ever invented. You must destroy them. You must complete your mission for the Time Lords! The Doctor: Do I have the right? Simply touch one wire against the other and that's it. The Daleks cease to exist. Hundreds of millions of people, thousands of generations can live without fear... in peace, and never even know the word "Dalek". Sarah: Then why wait? If it was a disease or some sort of bacteria you were destroying, you wouldn't hesitate. The Doctor: 'But if I kill. Wipe out a whole intelligent life form, then I become like them. I'd be no better than the Daleks.

Davros: Today, the Kaled race is ended, consumed in a fire of war. But, from its ashes will rise a new race. The supreme creature. The ultimate conqueror of the universe. The Dalek!

The Doctor: I know that although the Daleks will create havoc and destruction for millions of years. I know also, that out of their evil, must come something good.

Davros: They can help you! Have pity! Dalek: Pity? I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. Exterminate!

Davros: (ordering a dalek) Left, halt. Right, halt. Now exterminate. (the dalek destroys the target) Davros: Excellent. The weaponry is perfect. Now, we can begin...

(repeated line) Cyberleader: Excellent!

Cyberleader: So. We meet again Doctor.

Davros: In the end you are merely another time lord! The Doctor: Oh, Davros. I am far more than just another time lord.

Davros: Have pity on me! The Doctor: I have pity FOR you. Davros: Puty? The Doctor: Goodbye Davros, it hasn't been pleasant.

Davros: Do not anger ME, Doctor. I can destroy you! And this MISERABLE... INSIGNIFICANT PLANET!

Davros: I will teach you, the folly of your words, Doctor. I will destroy you, AND DEMONSTRATE THE POWER OF THE DALEKS !

Dalek: Stay where you are! Do not move! (three daleks close in on Ace) Dalek: Exterminate! A Dalek: Exterminate! Dalek: Exterminate! Dalek, A Dalek, Dalek: Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! (the credits roll)

Ace: So does that mean no more Daleks will come? The Doctor: It'll slow them down a bit, until the operator gets back. Ace: Operator? The Doctor: Yes, the Daleks always keep an operator on stand-by if there are any errors. Ace: And that would be another Dalek. The Doctor: (pause.) Yes. (a Dalek appears) Dalek: Stay where you are! Do not move!

Ace: What are you looking for? The Doctor: The unknown. Ace: Oh right. But hold on, isn't that dangerous? The Doctor: Yes. But then again if I already knew what was here, I wouldn't be looking for it.

The Doctor: In all my travellings throughout the universe, I have battled against evil, against power-mad conspirators. I should have stayed here! The oldest civilisation, decadent, degenerate and rotten to the core! Power-mad conspirators, Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen - they're still in the nursery compared to us! Ten million years of absolute power - that's what it takes to be really corrupt!

The Doctor: Through the millennia, the Time Lords of Gallifrey led a life of ordered calm, protected against all threats from lesser civilisations by their great power. But this was to change. Suddenly, and terribly, the Time Lords faced the most dangerous crisis in their long history...

The Doctor: If I knew everything that was going to happen, where would the fun be?

The Master: A new body... at last!

The Master: (describing the doctor to the Rani) 'He wears yellow trousers and a vulgarly coloured coat, but tread carefully - he's treacherous.

The Doctor: How do you feel now? Tegan: Groggy, sore and bad tempered. The Doctor: Almost your old self.

Morbius: I am still here. I can see nothing, feel nothing. You have locked me into hell for eternity. If this is all there is, I would rather die now... Trapped like this, like a sponge beneath the sea. Yet even a sponge has more life than I. Can you understand a thousandth of my agony? I, Morbius, who once led the High Council of the Time Lords, reduced to this - to the condition where I envy a vegetable.

The White Guardian: (on the black guardian) Be vigilant, Doctor. Once you denied him the Key to Time, now you have thwarted him again. He will be waiting for the third encounter, and his power does not diminish... While I exist, he exists also... until we are no longer needed.

The Doctor: (on the TARDIS) As an invasion weapon, you'd have to agree that it's about as offensive as a chicken vol-au-vent.

The Doctor: Well, look at me. I'm old, lacking in vigour, my mind's in turmoil. I no longer know if I'm coming, have gone, or even been. I'm falling to pieces. I no longer even have any clothes sense... Self-pity is all I have left.

Tegan: We're perfectly harmless, unfortunately.

Turlough: What is it about Earth people that makes them think a futile gesture is a noble one?

The Doctor: Why don't you do it, then? Look me in the eye. Pull the trigger. End my life.

(about to be accused of murder again) The Doctor: You don't think?... You do think.

Yrcanos: (to the Doctor) You think like a warrior but you do not act like one; it's most perplexing.

The Doctor: A little gratitude wouldn't irretrievably damage my ego.

Lytton: You know, Griffiths, when I look at you, I wonder why your ancestors bothered to crawl out of the primordial slime.

The Doctor: A hyperactive Peri - too ghastly to contemplate.

The Doctor: The Rani is a genius. Shame I can't stand her. I wonder if I was particularly nice to her, she might - nope, no, of course not...

The Doctor: America doesn't have a monopoly on bad taste.

Jobel: I have the President's wife out there, and I can tell you that she is far more active now then she ever was when she was alive.

Grigory: Look, if I open that door too soon, the molecular structure of the body will break down, and poor old Stengos will turn into a pool of high-protein water. Even if I were confident I could reconstitute it, we do not have a suitable vessel into which it could be ladled.

Yrcanos: Everyone has a "point" nowadays. I am a man of action, not reason!

Yrcanos: We shall release the slaves, and then on to death!

The Doctor: A new body is like a new house... takes a little bit of time to settle in. As for the physiognomy? Well... nothing's perfect. Have to take the rough with the smooth. Mind you... I think the nose is a definite improvement. As for the ears? Well I'm not too sure. Tell me quite frankly... what do you say to the ears?

The Doctor: Natural metamorphosis. A form of rebirth. I call it a renewal. And this time... positive triumph. I can sense it in every fibre of my being.

The Doctor: Ahhh... a noble brow. Clear gaze. At least it will be given a few hours sleep. A firm mouth. A face beaming with a vast intelligence. My dear child what on Earth are you complaining about? It's the most extraordinary improvement.

The Doctor: In my time I have been threatened by experts. And I don't rate you very highly at all.

The Doctor: Unless we are prepared to sacrifice our lives for the good of all, then evil and anarchy will spread like the plague.

The Doctor: (on regeneration) You don't understand regeneration, Mel. It's a lottery, and I've drawn the short plank.

The Doctor: Think about me when you're living your life one day after another, all in a neat pattern. Think about the homeless traveller in his old police box, his days like crazy paving.

The Doctor: There are three rules. One: I'm in charge. Two: I'm not the Professor. I'm the Doctor. And the third... Well, I'll think of the third by the time we get back to Perivale.

Jobel: You know, even if that statue was made of stone; I don't think it would have killed you. The Doctor: Really? Jobel: Yes. It would take a mountain to crush an ego as big as yours.

(during a failed escape, Davros had his hand blown off) Davros: Such a foolish waste of energy! The Doctor: No arm in trying. Davros: When you become a Dalek, you will suffer for every indignity you ever caused me!

Davros: How did you find me? Takis: I sent for them. Dalek: You will be taken back to Skaro to stand trial for crimes against the Daleks. Takis: This used to be a good place before you came. I enjoyed working here. Once you've gone it will be a good place again. The Doctor: I wouldn't be too certain of that. You'll be lucky to be alive at the end of this. Takis: But they're going to destroy Davros' Daleks. Dalek: They will not be destroyed! They will be reconditioned to obey the will of the Supreme Dalek!

The Doctor: Did you bother to tell anyone they may be eating their own relatives? Davros: Certainly not! That would have created what I believe is called consumer resistance.

The Doctor: I see you have been busy. Davros: Whereas you have been stupid, Doctor. The Doctor: Prerogative of a Time Lord.

The Doctor: Planets come and go. Stars perish. Matter disperses, coalesces, forms into other patterns, other worlds. Nothing can be eternal.

(referring to the master) The Doctor: He must have known I was going to fix the chameleon circuit. Adric: He read your mind? The Doctor: He's a Time Lord! In many ways we have the same mind.

Ace: Ange! Ange: Oh, hi, Ace. I thought you were dead. Ace: What? Ange: That's what they said - either you were dead or you'd gone to Birmingham.

The Master: Oh, my dear Doctor, you have been naïve.

The Doctor: The TARDIS, when working properly, is capable of many amazing things. Not unlike myself.

Arak: When did they last show something worth watching? Etta: Lat week. Arak: That was a repeat.

The Emperor Dalek: So, you are the Doctor. The Doctor: We meet at last. I wondered if we ever would. The Emperor Dalek: The experiment is over? The Doctor: Yes. I have implanted the human factor in the three Daleks that you gave me. (to Waterfield and Jamie) The Doctor: When I say run - run. The Emperor Dalek: Speak louder! The Doctor: I was merely telling my friend that the day of the Daleks is coming to an end. The Emperor Dalek: Explain. The Doctor: It's very simple. Somewhere in the Dalek race there are three Daleks with the human factor. Gradually they will come to question. They will persuade other Daleks to question. You will have a rebellion on your planet. The Emperor Dalek: No! The Doctor: I say, yes! I've beaten you, and I don't care what you do to me now!

(seeing the Emperor Dalek) Jamie: Look at the size of that one, doctor! The Doctor: I know, Jamie, it's a big one, isn't it?

Count Federico: You can no more tell the stars than I can tell my chamber pot.

Sharaz Jek: You have the mouth of a prattling jackanapes, but your eyes, they tell a different story.

The Doctor: You see, if you take any progressive series, it can be converted into binary notation. Now, if you take the sum of the integrants and express the result as a power series, then the indices show the basic binary blocks, only I wouldn't do it if I were you.

Lady Camilla: You're wrong. The Doctor is not weaponless. He has the greatest weapon of all: knowledge.

Sutekh: Your evil is my good. I am Sutekh the Destroyer. Where I tread I leave nothing but dust and darkness. I find that good.

Amelia Rumford: Can I ask you a personal question? The Doctor: Well, I don't see how I can stop you asking. Amelia Rumford: Are you from outer space? The Doctor: No, I'm more from what you would call inner time.

Ancelyn: He has many names, but in my reckoning, he is Merlin. The Doctor: Do you recognize my face then? Ancelyn: No, it is not your aspect, but your manner that betrays you. Do you not ride the ship of time? Does it not deceive the senses by being larger within than without? Come, Merlin, cease these games.

Benton: What do we do now? The Doctor: Keep it confused. Feed it with useless information. I wonder if I have a television set handy?

Count Federico: He is but one man. The Doctor: You can't count, Count.

The Doctor: Well, Sergeant? Aren't you going to say that it's bigger on the inside than on the outside? Everybody else does. Benton: Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it?

The Doctor: He could end up anywhere except where he wants to go. Tegan: Rather like the Tardis, really.

The Doctor: I thought I recognized the stars. Sarah: You've been here before? The Doctor: I was born in these parts. Sarah: Near here? The Doctor: Well, within a couple of billion miles, yes.

The Doctor: I've got a pistol. Sarah: But you'd never use it. The Doctor: True. But they don't know that, do they?

The Doctor: Is it usual for a host to kill a guest? Monarch: Oh, in certain rarified circles.

The Doctor: Still, while there's life, there's six of one, half dozen of the other. The Master: Woolly thinking, Doctor. The Doctor: Yes, but very comforting when worn next to the skin.

The Doctor: The Tardis found it. On impending breakup, the Tardis locks onto the nearest spacecraft. Tegan: You never mentioned that before. The Doctor: It never worked before.

The Doctor: The power cable generated an electrical field and confused their tiny metal minds. You might almost say they've had a complete metal breakdown. (Jamie groans) The Doctor: I'm so sorry, Jamie.

The Doctor: Would you like a jelly baby? Leela: It's true then. They say the Evil One eats babies. The Doctor: You mustn't believe all they say.

The Doctor: But I don't exist in your world. Brigade Leader: Then you won't feel the bullets when we shoot you.

The Doctor: We are not of this race. We are not of this earth. We are wanderers in the dimensions of space and time, cut off from our own planet and our own people, by eons and universes that are far beyond the reaches of your most advanced sciences.

The Doctor: Every great decision creates ripples, like a huge boulder dropped in a lake. The ripples merge, rebound off the banks in unforseeable ways. The heavier the decision, the larger the waves, the more uncertain the consequences. John: Life's like dat. Best ting is just to get on wid it.

The Doctor: I learned not to meddle in other people's affairs years ago. (Ian laughs) The Doctor: Now, now, now, don't be absurd. There's not an ounce of curiosity in me, my dear boy. (turns to Maitland) Now tell me, why are you in danger?

Duggan: You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. Romana: If you made an omelette, I'd expect to find a pile of broken crockery, a cooker in flames, and an unconscious chef.

Gwendoline: I think Mr Matthews is confused. The Doctor: Never mind. I'll have him completely bewildered by the time I'm finished.

Eric Klieg: He is fortunate. I spared him. Jamie: You mean you missed him.

The Doctor: Crush the lesser races. Conquer the galaxy. Incredible power, unlimited rice pudding, et cetera, et cetera.

The Doctor: Allow me to congratulate you, sir. You have the most totally closed mind that I've ever encountered.

The Doctor: Anybody remotely interesting is mad, in some way or another.

The Doctor: Gods don't use transceivers.

The Doctor: He's gone to see a man about a god.

The Doctor: Homo sapiens. What an inventive, invincible species. It's only been a few million years since they crawled up out of the mud and learned to walk. Puny, defenseless bipeds. They've survived flood, famine and plague. They've survived cosmic wars and holocausts. And now, here they are, out among the stars, waiting to begin a new life. Ready to outsit eternity. They're indomitable... indomitable.

The Doctor: I don't believe you've met my young friend Ace, an expert in calorification, incineration, carbonization, and inflammation.

The Doctor: I had to face my fear. That was more important than just going on living.

The Doctor: I loathe bus stations. Terrible places. Full of lost luggage and lost souls.

The Doctor: I never carry weapons. If people see you mean them no harm, they never hurt you. Nine times out of ten.

The Doctor: It may be irrational of me, but human beings are quite my favorite species.

The Doctor: It's part of a Time Lord's job to insist on justice for all species.

The Doctor: It's very very old, perhaps even older.

The Doctor: Just be your natural horrid self.

The Doctor: Like Alice, I try to believe three impossible things before breakfast.

The Doctor: Maybe I am getting too young for this sort of thing.

The Doctor: Let me guess. My theories appall you, my heresies outrage you, I never answer letters and you don't like my tie.

The Doctor: One good, solid hope's worth a cartload of certainty.

The Doctor: One grows tired of jelly babies, Castellan. One grows tired of almost everything, Castellan, except power.

The Doctor: Superior intelligence and senseless cruelty just do not go together.

The Doctor: There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes.

The Doctor: This may be the greatest miscalculation since life crawled out of the seas on this miserable planet.

The Doctor: Typical human, you can always count on them to mess things up.

The Doctor: We're all basically primeval slime with ideas above its station.

The Doctor: Weapons. Always useless in the end.

The Doctor: Well, look at me. I'm old, lacking in vigor, my mind's in a turmoil. I no longer know if I'm coming, have gone, or even been. I'm falling to pieces; I no longer even have any clothes sense. Self-pity is all I have left.

The Doctor: Well, now I know you're mad. I just wanted to make sure.

The Doctor: What is the one thing evil cannot face, not ever? Tegan: What? The Doctor: Itself.

The Doctor: You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies.

The Doctor: You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that need altering.

The Doctor: You know, your species has the most amazing capacity for self-deception, matched only by its ingenuity in trying to destroy itself.

The Doctor: You remember the Mona Lisa? That dreadful woman with no eyebrows who wouldn't sit still?

The Doctor: You stupid, stubborn, pigheaded numbskull. You were supposed to die in bed.

The Doctor: You're a classic example of the inverse relationship bewteen the size of the mouth and the size of the brain.

Castellan Guard: The Castellan will have me shot, sir. The Doctor: Well, that's all right; I'll have him shot.

Borusa: You have access to the greatest source of knowledge in the universe. The Doctor: Well, I do talk to myself sometimes.

The Fifth Doctor: If the freighter crashes into Earth with you onboard, won't that make it rather difficult for you to carry out your task? I mean, you would be very crumpled.

The Doctor: I wonder... Leela: What? The Doctor: Shh. I'm wondering.

The Doctor: Now drop your weapons or I'll kill him with this deadly jelly baby. Warrior: Kill him, then. The Doctor: What? Warrior: Kill him, then. The Doctor: I don't take orders from anyone. (Eats jelly baby) Take me to your leader.

The Doctor: You're working for a madman, you know. Scorby: He pays well.

The Doctor: Listen, there are no measurements in infinity. You humans have got such limited little minds. I don't know why I like you so much. Sarah: Because you have such good taste. The Doctor: That's true. That's very true.

Fitzwilliam: He is said to be the best swordsman in France. The Doctor: Well, fortunately, we are in England.

Arak: No more executions. Torture. Nothing. Etta: It's all changed. We're free. Arak: Are we? Etta: Yes. Arak: What shall we do? Etta: Don't know.

Tereleptil: As these humans kill lesser species to survive, so I kill them. The Doctor: That's hardly an argument. Tereleptil: It wasn't meant to be an argument. It was a statement.

Persuasion: He does not conform. Monarch: Of course. He's a philosopher. A doubter. We need doubt. It's the greatest intellectual galvanizer.

Overseer: You think you're clever, eh? The Doctor: Without undue modesty, yes.

Hutchinson: You speak treason. The Doctor: Fluently.

Josiah Samuel Smith: You're so smug and self-satisfied, Doctor. The Doctor: I try.

Leela: I don't know what to believe anymore. The Doctor: Well that sounds healthy, anyway, Leela: never be certain of anything. It's a sign of weakness.

Leela: The Evil One. The Doctor: Well, nobody's perfect, but that's overstating it a little.

Leela: Within the black wall wherein lies paradise. The Doctor: Is that just religious gobbledygook or is that an actual place?

Ohica: You feign ignorance, Time Lord? The Doctor: Please, just call me Doctor. I hate all this bowing and scraping.

Stor: I am Commander Stor of the Sontaran Special Space Service. The Doctor: The SSS. Eh, isn't that carrying alliteration a little far?

The Doctor: Time and tide melts the snowman.

The Doctor: The best way to find out where you are from is find out where you are going and work backwards.

The Doctor: There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do.

The Doctor: "Eureka" is Greek for "this bath is too hot."

The Doctor: A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting.

Countess Scarlioni: Careful, my dear; I don't think he's as stupid as he seems. Skaroth: My dear, *nobody* could be as stupid as *he* seems.

The Doctor: (after being shoved by Hermann the butler) I say, what a wonderful butler, he's so violent.

Leela: It was as if there was a sort of glow all around you. The Fourth Doctor: There was? Well, a kind of St. Elmo's fire, it happens at sea. Leela: St. Elmo's? The Fourth Doctor: Yes, it causes a sort of halo effect around the masts of ships. Leela: Halo? The Fourth Doctor: Why do you keep repeating everything I say, you're not a parrot, are you? Leela: Parrot?

The Third Doctor: Good grief, man, it's as simple as Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity.

The Doctor: I am a citizen of the universe - and a gentleman to boot.

The Doctor: There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things. Things that act against everything we believe in. They must be fought.

The Master: I have so few worthy opponents. When they're gone I always miss them.

The Doctor: First things first, but not necessarily in that order.

Striker: You are a Time Lord, a lord of Time. Are there Lords in such a small domain?

Adric: (sitting atop a big gun, hands on controls) I don't know what these levers do, but it's pointing in your direction.

The Doctor: ... One more thing. Your name. Romana: What about my name? The Doctor: It's too long. By the time I've called out, "Look out... " What's your name? Romana: (slowly) Romanadvoratrelundar. The Doctor: By the time I've called that out, you could be dead. I'll call you "Romana". Romana: I don't like "Romana". The Doctor: It's either "Romana" or "Fred". Romana: All right, call me "Fred". The Doctor: Good. Come on, Romana.

Romana: You mean you didn't believe his story? The Doctor: No. Romana: But he had such an honest face. The Doctor: Romana, you can't be a successful crook with a dishonest face, can you?

The Doctor: The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots. They do exactly what you tell them at amazing speed. Even if you order them to kill you. So if you do happen to change your mind, it's very difficult to stop them from obeying the original order. (stops computer from destroying Earth) But not impossible.

(last lines before regenerating) The Doctor: It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for.

Peri Brown: Circular logic will only make you dizzy, Doctor.

Brigadier: (ordering his men to fire on a monster) Chap with the wings - five rounds, rapid.

The Fourth Doctor: Would you mind not standing on me, my hat's on fire.

The First Doctor: I am THE Doctor. The definite article, you might say.

The Third Doctor: What's wrong with being childish? I like being childish.

(repeated line) Daleks: EXTERMINATE.

A Dalek: Exterminate. Annihilate. Destroy.

A Dalek: Exterminate all humans.

The Seventh Doctor: This is the Doctor. President elect of the high council of Timelords, keeper of the legacy of Rassilon, defender of the laws of time, protector of Gallifrey. I call upon you to surrender the hand of Omega and return to your customary time and place.

Emperor Dalek/Davros: Ah Doctor, you have changed again. Your appearance is as inconstant as your intelligence. You have confounded me for the last time.

Fenric: We play the contest again, Timelord.

The Seventh Doctor: Time and Timelord wait for no man.

The Seventh Doctor: We need to get that flask. Ace: We can release Captain Sorin to help us. I could distract the guard. The Seventh Doctor: How? Ace: Professor, I'm not a little girl.

Ace: Master, who's he? The Seventh Doctor: An evil genius. One of my oldest and deadliest of enemies. Ace: (sarcastically) Do you know any nice people. You know, normal people. Not power crazed nutters trying to take over the universe.

Jamie: (to the Second Doctor) Anyone would think it's a little game, and it's not. People have died. The Daleks are all over, fit to murder the lot of us, and all you can say is that you've had a good night's work. Well, I'm telling you this; we're finished. You're just too callous for me. Anything goes by the board, anything at all. You don't give that much for a living soul except yourself. Just whose side are you on?

The Doctor: No. Impossible. I'm fully booked for the next two centuries.

The Doctor: Having failed to freeze us to death, it's now trying to bake us! It appears to be a machine with a distinctly limited repertoire.

The Fourth Doctor: (to Leela after she almost knifes him) It's a good thing your tribe never invented firearms... they'd've woken with a start one morning and wiped themselves out.

The Fourth Doctor: Oh, don't listen to me... I never do.

The Fourth Doctor: Harry Sullivan is an IMBECILE!

The Fifth Doctor: (after he failed to prevent the Sea Devil Triad from being killed) There should have been another way.

Tereleptil: War is honourable, Doctor. Even on this planet it is considered so. The Fifth Doctor: Oh, I know... but according to you, these people are still primitives, so what's your excuse?

The Doctor: Gentlemen, I have news for you. This lighthouse is under attack and by morning we might all be dead. Anyone interested?

The Doctor: Well, you'd better introduce me. Romana: As what? The Doctor: Oh, I don't know, a wise and wonderful person who wants to help. Don't exaggerate.

Brigadier: You've been agitating for a new assistant ever since Miss Shaw went back to Cambridge. The Doctor: Liz was a highly-qualified scientist. I want someone with the same qualifications. Brigadier: Nonsense. What you need, Doctor, as Miss Shaw has so often remarked, is someone to pass you your test tubes and to tell you how brilliant you are. Miss Grant will fulfill that function admirably.

Amelia Rumford: I still don't understand about hyperspace. The Doctor: Well, who does? Voice of K9: I do. The Doctor: Oh shut up, K9!

(Sharaz Jek is holding the Doctor and Peri prisoner in his underground lair) Sharaz Jek: I've missed so much of life these last lonely years. But your arrival has changed all that. We shall become the best of companions. The Fifth Doctor: What do you say Peri? We could go on nature walks, have picnics and jolly evenings round the camp fire.

(the Doctor and Peri are waiting in a prison cell to be executed) The Fifth Doctor: I'm sorry I got you in to this Peri. Peri Brown: It's alright. It's not your fault. I mean it's as much my fault as it is yours. The Fifth Doctor: Yes. Should never have followed those tracks. Curiosity's always been my downfall.

(Having administered an anesthetic injection) Dastari: Count backwards from ten, Doctor The Doctor: Certainly not! Do you expect me to co-operate in my own murder? I'm dinyey... oik... phaaaaaaaaaarll...

Linx: We're sworn enemies, Doctor. Why should you help me? The Third Doctor: Because I want something from you. If you will let me de-hypnotise the people and send them home, and help me capture Irongron and his men, then I will assist you in the repairs to your spaceship. The weapons you've made for Irongron you can leave here in the castle. When it's empty, you can take-off, destroying castle and weapons at the same time. Alright, Commander Linx, what do you say? Linx: You wish for my answer, Doctor? The Third Doctor: I do. Linx: Then here it is. (shoots the Doctor)

The Seventh Doctor: (the Doctor is knelt coughing on the ground having blown up a Dalek with some nitro-9 explosive. The fuse had a shorter time on it than Ace told him) Ace! You said ten seconds. Ace: Nobody's perfect Professor.

(the Doctor has been caught hiding by Stoltz and his fellow gun runners who have been conversing with Sharaz Jek) Sharaz Jek: Doctor. I hadn't expected to see you again so soon. The Fifth Doctor: Life often springs these little surprise.

Sharaz Jek: How is it you were able to walk past my androids? The Fifth Doctor: I don't know. Maybe they just liked my face. (grins)

The Doctor: Davros, if you had created a virus in your laboratory, something contagious and infectious that killed on contact, a virus that would destroy all other forms of life... would you allow its use? Davros: It is an... interesting conjecture. The Doctor: Would you do it? Davros: The only living thing, the microscopic organism... reigning supreme. A fascinating idea The Doctor: But would you do it? Davros: Yes... yes. To hold in my hand a capsule that contained such power... to know that life and death on such a scale was my choice. To know that the tiny pressure on my thumb, enough to break the glass, would end everything. Yes - I would do it. That power would set me up above the gods! And through the Daleks, I shall have that power!

(referring back to Ace's earlier, rather transparent denial of packing Nitro-9) The Seventh Doctor: Ace, give me some of that Nitro-9 you're not carrying.

(after overriding Cybermen's communication frequencies with jazz music) The Seventh Doctor: I just love a good jam session.

Peri Brown: (the Doctor is sitting up on the floor of the TARDIS, having just undergone his fifth regeneration. Peri who has witnessed the eccentric Timelords latest transformation, begins to crawl over towards him) Doctor? The Sixth Doctor: You're expecting someone else? Peri Brown: I... I... I... The Sixth Doctor: That's three I's in one breath, makes you sound a rather egotistical young lady. Peri Brown: What's happened? The Sixth Doctor: (Looking straight in to the camera) Change my dear. And it seems not a moment too soon. (Cue end credits)

(Commander Millington is standing in a bunker with the powerful entity, Fenric who has taken over the body of Dr Judson. Up above them the remaining russian soldiers are battling with Millingtons troops) Fenric: Ah... the sound of dying. When it comes to death. Quantity is so much more satisfying than quality. Commander Millington: The final... Fenric: Don't interrupt me when I'm eulogising. Where is the Timelord? Commander Millington: Timelord? Fenric: The one you call "Doctor". Commander Millington: I had him shot. Fenric: I see you've never been handicapped with great intelligence. For 17 centuries I was trapped in the shadow dimensions because of him. He pulled bones from the dessert sands and carved them into chess pieces. He challenged me to solve his puzzle. I failed. Now i shall see him kneel before me... before I let him die.

Peri Brown: (to the Doctor) Why does he always wear that hood? Sharaz Jek: (suddenly turning his attention to Peri) Do you want to know why? You with your fair skin and features. You want to see the face under here? (shouts) Do you? (Peri lets out a shriek and rushes in to the arms of the Doctor) Sharaz Jek: You are wise. Even I can't bear to see or touch myself. I was once... once comely. Was always a lover of beauty. And now I have to live in this exile. Where I have to live amongst androids, because androids do not see as we see! The Fifth Doctor: What happened? Sharaz Jek: Morgus. Why I ever trusted that fescennine bag of *slime*! I built an android work force. To collect and refine the Spectrox. We agreed to share the profits. But he'd already planned my death. When the mud burst caught me without warning, how he must have gloated. But I tricked him. I reached one of the baking chambers and I survived. Just. Peri Brown: You were burned? Sharaz Jek: Scalded, near to death. The flesh boiled, hanging from the bone. I lived... I lived so that one day I could revenge myself on that human monster, and I shall.

The Fifth Doctor: (referring to Sharaz Jek) More of a tennis player than a cricketer.

The Doctor: Davros. I might have known. I see you've shunned the last vestiges of your humanity. Still no improvement.

The Doctor: Oi, Dalek! It's me, the Doctor! What's the matter, don't you recognise your mortal enemy?

The Doctor: Daleks are such boring conversationalists.

Group-Captain Gilmore: Nothing even remotely human could have survived that. The Seventh Doctor: That's exactly the point Group-Captain. It's not even remotely human!

Krail: We are called Cybermen. We were exactly like you once, but our race was getting weak. Our life spans were getting shorter, so our doctors and scientists devised spare parts for our bodies until we could be completely replaced. Polly Wright: But that means you're not like us. You're robots. Krail: Our brains are just like yours, except that certain weaknesses have been removed. You call them emotions, do you not? Polly Wright: But that's terrible. You mean you wouldn't care about someone if they were in pain? Krail: There would be no point. We do not feel pain. Polly Wright: But we do.

The Master: You are indeed a worthy opponent, Doctor. It's what gives your destruction its. piquancy.

Styggron: Resistance is inadvisable.

Cyber Lieutenant: Which one is The Doctor? Cyberleader: The tall one with fair hair. Even under the threat of death he has the arrogance of a Time Lord.

(from top of air shaft to Daleks in pursuit) The Doctor: If you're supposed to be the superior race of the universe, why don't you try climbing after us? Bye-bye!

Organon: (introducing himself to the Doctor) Astrologer extraordinary. Seer to princes and emperors. The future foretold, the past explained, the present... apologised for.

(repeated line after getting eye shot) Dalek: My vision is impaired! I cannot see!

(to the Cybermen) The Doctor: You have no home planet, no influence, nothing! You're just a pathetic bunch of tin soldiers skulking around the galaxy in an antique space craft.

Adric: So what is a railway station? The Doctor: Well, a place where one embarks and disembarks from compartments on wheels drawn along these tracks by a steam engine - rarely on time Nyssa: What a very silly activity. The Doctor: You think so? As a boy, I always wanted to drive one.

Kandy Man: You see, I make sweets. Not just any old sweets, but sweets that are so good, so delicious that sometimes, if I'm on form, the human physiology is not equipped to bear the pleasure. Tell them what I'm trying to say, Gilbert Gilbert M: He makes sweets that kill people.

Sutekh: In my presence you are an ant. A termite. Abase yourself, you groveling insect!

The Doctor: Serve you, Sutekh? Your name is abominated in every civilized world! Whether that name be Set, Satan, Sados... Sutekh: Serve me, Doctor! The Doctor: *Never*! (Sutekh uses his torture beam) Sutekh: You pit your puny mind against mine? Kneel! The Doctor: *Never*! Sutekh: Kneel! Kneel before the might of Sutekh!

Sutekh: Any further insolence, Doctor, and I shall shred your nervous system into a million fibers. Is that understood?

Ace: (Ace has chosen to sit next to Reverend Wainwright at the Doctor's request. The old priest has been having a serious crisis of faith) Funny church, this, isn't it? Reverand Mr Wainwright: I was just remembering when I was a child. My father was the vicar here then. It seemed such a warm, friendly place in those days. Ace: Things always look different when you're a child. Reverand Mr Wainwright: Now I stand in the church every Sunday, I see all the faces looking up at me, waiting for me to give them something to believe in. Ace: Don't you believe in anything? Reverand Mr Wainwright: I used to believe there was good in the world, hope for the future. Ace: The future's not so bad. Have faith in me.

Reverand Mr Wainwright: (Wainwright is standing in the misty daylight of his churchyard. Behind him the sinister figures of the transformed teenagers, Jean and Phyllis approach as if stalking him. They have become vampiric haemovores) I know who you are. Jean: You've always known us. Reverand Mr Wainwright: (turning to confront them) But vampires are just superstition. Why? Jean: We have black hearts. We were lost on the day we were born. Reverand Mr Wainwright: That's not true. No-one is lost. Phyllis: Everyone is lost. Reverand Mr Wainwright: No further. (brandishes a bible in front of him) Reverand Mr Wainwright: This is holy. It will destroy you. Phyllis: Objects can't harm us. It's human belief, and you stopped believing when the bombs started falling. Reverand Mr Wainwright: I'm not frightened of German bombs. Jean: Not German. British. Phyllis: On German cities. Killing German children. Reverand Mr Wainwright: (his faith starting to buckle under the weight of the the vampiric duo's verbal onslaught) No... No! The Doctor: (the Doctor, out of nowhere, suddenly comes between Wainwright and the two undead teenagers. He has stopped them in their tracks) The Doctor: (shouting) The Doctor: Stop! Ace: What's happened to you? What are you doing? Phyllis: (beginning to approach Ace) You should have come in to the water with us, then we'd have been together. The Doctor: (not allowing Phyllis to go any further) Go! Go! Jean: We go... but we'll return for you, Wainwright. (They turn and slowly make their way from the Doctor, and the others)

The Doctor: Into the matrix. Where the only logic is there isn't any logic.

The Rani: Outside of these experiments you have absolutely no significance.

Cyber Controller: To struggle is futile.

Omega: My brothers became Time Lords, while I was abandoned and forgotten. The Doctor: No, not forgotten. All my life I've known of you, and cherished you as our greatest hero. Omega: A hero? (shouts) I should have been a God!
