MBMajor Beresford

I've been telling Sir Colin that without the proper authority, I will not launch a raid on someone's private property!

DThe Doctor

Waffle! Waffle, waffle, waffle!

DThe Doctor

You humans have got such limited, little minds. I don't know why I like you so much.

Because you have such good taste.

DThe Doctor

....That's true! That's very true!

PPhysician

You're a doctor, yourself?

DThe Doctor

Well sort of, yes.

PPhysician

How do you do. Tell me, where did you qualify, if I may ask?

DThe Doctor

A place called Gallifrey.

PPhysician

Gallifrey. I've not heard of it. Perhaps it's in Ireland.

DThe Doctor

Probably.

[Professor Watson is amazed that the missiles have had no effect.]

DThe Doctor

Any being that can exist, let alone thrive, inside a nuclear pile is hardly likely to be deterred by a few primitive missiles.

WProfessor Watson

But they're the most powerful missiles we have!

DThe Doctor

On your standards, perhaps. I think we should try much older weapons.

Like?

DThe Doctor

Speech? Diplomacy?

WProfessor Watson

What?

DThe Doctor

Conversation? Come on, driver, let's go!

[Sarah has caught up with the Doctor after he told her to stay behind and wait in safety.]

I worry about you.

[After Sarah has outlined why she should be allowed to accompany him.]

DThe Doctor

But . . .

Ah, but what?

DThe Doctor

I worry about you.

So? Be careful.

DThe Doctor

We'll both be careful.

DThe Doctor

(angrily) Damn it! The aliens must have left this planet half dead!

[Sarah having to leave the Doctor]

Don't forget me.

DThe Doctor

Oh, Sarah. Don't you forget me.

Bye, Doctor. You know, travel really does broaden the mind.

DThe Doctor

Yes. Until we meet again, Sarah.

[The Doctor bends down to avoid the detection of the guard.]

RRuncible

I say, is something the matter?

DThe Doctor

No, no, just a twinge in the knee.

RRuncible

Well, if you will lead such a rackety life... Have you had a facelift?

DThe Doctor

Several, so far.

EEngin

What is the Master like on mathematics?

DThe Doctor

He's brilliant, absolutely brilliant — he's almost up to my standards.

DThe Doctor

Why have you brought me here?

As a scapegoat for the killing of the President! Who else but you, Doctor? So despicably good. So insufferably compassionate... I wanted you to die in ignominious shame and disgrace!

Doctor, my congratulations, you're just in time for the end!

DThe Doctor

You're insane! You're insane, do you hear me? You're releasing a force that nothing can stop!

Take the rod. You could take it with you to your grave, except that none of you will need a grave!

DThe Doctor

If you undo that, you'll die as surely as any of us!

You can do better than that, Doctor. Even in extremis, I wear the Sash of Rassilon!

DThe Doctor

Yes! And the president was wearing it when he was shot down! The sash won't protect you! It's damaged!

You lie!

As I believe I told you long ago, Doctor, you will never amount to anything in the galaxy while you retain your propensity for vulgar facetiousness.

DThe Doctor

Yes, sir. You've said that many times, sir. May I go, sir?

Certainly you may, preferably with the utmost expedition. [To Spandrell] Perhaps you will see that the transduction barriers are raised.

SSpandrell

Yes, sir.

Oh, Doctor?

DThe Doctor

Sir?

Nine out of ten.

DThe Doctor

Oh... [chuckles bashfully] Thank you, sir.

DThe Doctor

Now drop your weapons, or I'll kill him with this deadly jelly baby!

WWarrior

Kill him, then.

DThe Doctor

What?

WWarrior

Kill him, then.

DThe Doctor

I don't take orders from anyone.
