Fourth Doctor quotes from Doctor Who

Leela

These "taxes"; they are a sacrifice to the Gods?

Taxes are much more painful.

Leela, I think you and I should take a-- a W-A-L-K.

Leela

A W-A-L-K...?

Wuh-Ah-Ll-K!

Walk, mistress.

Leela

I know!

Ready, master.

No no no, you're not coming. You stay here.

Entreat, master!

No!

I'll be good!

NO!

Are we interrupting something?

What did you say, citizen?

Somehow I have the impression you're thinking of killing yourself.

It's the taxes.

Hmm?

It's the taxes, I can't pay the taxes!

Oh, the taxes! My dear old thing, all you need is a wily accountant! Would you care for a Jelly baby?

There are no gods but me! Have I not created myself? Do I not rule? Am I not all-powerful?

Well, yes, here you are, but nowhere else — you're just another machine with megalomania, heh, another insane object! Another self-aggrandizing artifact! You're nothing! Nothing but a mass of superheated junk with delusions of grandeur!

Is there anything else I can get you, sir?

Yes. A jelly baby. My right-hand pocket.

What color would you prefer, sir?

Orange.

There doesn't appear to be an orange one--

[Seizing Castellan by the arm] One grows tired of jelly babies, Castellan.

Indeed one does, sir.

One grows tired of almost everything, Castellan.

Indeed, sir.

Except power.

I cannot interfere, only observe.

Leela

But what if they attacked you?

Then they would be very stupid; nothing can get past the transduction barriers.

K9, destroy the transduction barriers.

Master. [moves forward]

[stops K9] Not yet.

Borusa! Call a meeting of the council at once!

But ex--

[losing his temper] AT ONCE! NO EXCUSES! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!

But you have access to the greatest source of knowledge in the universe!

Oh, I do talk to myself sometimes, yes...

Leela

Is it over?

Yes. [the outsiders cheer] It's been a long, hard road, but at last the future of Gallifrey is assured. [everyone stops cheering] What, what are you looking at? [turns around]

Please don't fire that thing.

[walks forward] There is no advantage in killing, yet. Slavery is more efficient.

Leela

Do you know these things?

Sontaran troopers.

I am Commander Stor, of the Sontaran Special Space Service.

The SSSS. Isn't that carrying alliteration little too far?

A Sontaran.

Leela

What are these Sontarans?

A race devoted to perpetual war.

Leela

Then I shall kill him.

You don't know how.

Leela

Do you know?

Oh, yes.

Leela

Well, tell me.

Small vent at the back of the neck.

Leela

Is that all? [covers her mouth and calls in a deep voice] Over here!

Oh, that was a prodigious throw!

Leela

Prodigious?

Well, it was an amazing throw.

Leela

Oh, it was nothing.

That's not going to hold forever, Chancellor.

A heavy, easily fusible, soft, malleable base metal such as lead is not the best defence against heat-intensive weaponry.

I agree.

Fortunately, someone had the good sense to reinforce the structure with a titanium-based alloy.

[smiles] Your recipe?

A suggestion of mine, yes.

I've kept you waiting, chancellor.

I'm quite comfortable, thank you.

Good. [Borusa hands him his newspaper] I had nothing to do with this, I promise you. Chancellor, you know about the rod of Rassilon.

Yes.

And you know about the sash of Rassilon.

Yes.

And especially, you know about the great key.

Yes.

Therefore, it would be very bad for us if you were to fall into the hands of the Sontarans. No breeding, you see.

It's not just a question of breeding, surely?

Oh, but it is, it is, I assure you, chancellor, it is. They're a cloned species, you see. They can multiply at the rate of a million every four minutes. Shall we go?

I think so.

Good.

Leela

Doctor?

Yes?!

Leela

I will miss you!

I'll miss you too, savage

Couldn't I just take K-9??

K-9 is a mere machine.

[shouting] He's a very [his volume decreases] sensitive machine! [whispering] Sorry, sir.

My name is Romanadvoratrelundar. [This is the only time Romana's name is prounounced as RomanadvoratNelundar instead of its correct pronunciation]

[sitting beside K9] I'm so sorry about that, is there anything we can do?
