Oh by the way, by the way! Neeman, Neeman come here! [puts his arms around the guards] You chaps might be interested in this as well. Listen. Do you know that expression, uh, two heads are better than one, hm? [knocks the two guards' heads into Neeman's head, all three of which promptly collapse] Well I think that one head is better than three!
I used to know an ancient remedy for mad dogs. I must look it up sometime. Good library here, have you?
The Master's already at work on Logopolis. I'm going to stop him if it's the last thing I do.
I've just dipped into the future. We must be prepared for the worst.
Shut up, K-9!
[on phone] Get me the medical officer.
(semi-conscious) Typical Sontaran attitude...
[on phone] Lieutenant Sullivan?
(semi-conscious) Stop Linx...
[on phone] Emergency. Come to the lab at once, please.
(semi-conscious) Perverting the course of human history...
What's he talking about?
It's something that happened when we first met.
(sits up) I tell you, Brigadier, there's nothing to worry about! The brontosaurus is large and placid! (falls back)
(A naval officer enters)
This the patient, sir?
And stupid! (sits back up) If the square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square on the other two sides, why is a mouse when it spins? Never did know the answer to that one. (falls back again)
You're not fit yet!
"Not fit"? I'm the Doctor!
No, Doctor, I'm the doctor, and I say you're not fit!
You may be a doctor. But I'm the Doctor. The definite article, you might say.
Heartsbeat?
I say, I don't think that can be right.
Both a bit fast, are they? Still, must be patient! A new body is like a new house; takes a little bit of time to settle in! [He catches his face in a mirror.] 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?
Well, I really don't know--
Well, of course you don't! You're a busy man! You don't want to stand here burbling about my ears, neither "ear" nor there!
Hello! Come to see me off, have you? Well, I hate goodbyes; I'll just slip away quietly!
No, no, Doctor, you can't go!
Can't? Can't? There's no such word as "can't"! (Slams door)
Wha...
(Comes back out again) Why not?
[Entering room] Doctor, there's been another...Where is he?
[Gestures to the TARDIS] In there.
He promised...
[Interrupting] Ah, Brigadier.
All right Doctor, we must get moving. [turns to face the Doctor]
[Dressed as a Viking] Is something wrong?
You've changed.
Oh no, not again! No!
I, I didn't mean your face. I meant your clothes.
Don't you like them?
UNIT is supposed to be a security organization.
Do you think I might attract attention?
It's just possible.
One moment. [heads back into the TARDIS to change]
I think your enemies are homegrown, Brigadier -- people with access to technological information, and a most unusual weapon. A weapon that walks and thinks. In a word: Anthropomorphic.
Well, I suppose that narrows the field a bit.
There can't be that many people in the country with the money and resources to design and build something like...
[Walking through the door mid sentence] ...a giant Robot about 7 feet tall.
Yes something like that... however did you guess?
Doctor you're being childish!
Well, of course I am! There's no point being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes.
Prime Directive! What is your Prime Directive?
I must serve humanity and never harm it!
Well, then you mustn't harm me! I'm a friend of humanity!
Believe me, Doctor, the place is impregnable!
Never cared much for the word 'impregnable.' Sounds a bit too much like 'unsinkable.'
What's wrong with unsinkable?
'Nothing,' as the iceberg said to the Titanic!
What?
[as he sinks back into the car] Glub glub glub....
