Second Doctor quotes from Doctor Who

Red state emergency. Evacuation phase three. Phase three evacuate. Transport section leaders report now. Phase three evacuation.

Something's wrong.

Victoria

It seems safe enough.

We're discovered. [She pins labels on the travellers] Oh, thank you.

Jamie

Thank you. Excuse me, miss, I'm Jamie McCrimmon, do you think you could tell us where we are?

She doesn't want to know, Jamie.

Victoria

Hey, this says we're on evacuation flight seven.

That's rather inhospitable. We've only just arrived.

Jamie

Hey, and this tag, it says I'm a scavenger. And yours does too! Here, we're not beggars.

Hush, Jamie.

Victoria

What is it, Doctor?

It sounds like electronic machinery. Like a computer. But there's something wrong with its pitch.

Victoria

Oh, no. Now look, it might be dangerous. Now let's leave it.

No.

Victoria

Doctor.

[Smiles mischievously] Let's go in!

In 2 minutes 38 seconds, you're going to have an almighty explosion! The readings say so!

Clent

Well how can you possibly know that? I haven't even -- I haven't even processed them through the computer yet!

I don't need a computer.

Yes, that should hold it steady. It's not a perfect job, mind you. You ought to get an expert in, you know.

Clent

How did you -- it was all a bluff, wasn't it, that 2 minutes 38 seconds to danger.

Oh no, it was near enough correct. Give or take a second.

Clent

Rubbish.

Check it on your precious computer then.

Clent

Miss Garrett, do so.

Immediate emergency. In two minutes thirty seven seconds, the reactor will explode.

Well, a second out. We can't all be perfect.

However, the suspected presence of an alien spacecraft must be investigated, in case of potentially fissionable material.

Jamie

Spacecraft! Hey, do you reckon that's where the warrior's gone back to?

Well he didn't come by Shetland Pony, Jamie.

[Looking at a device in the Ioniser control room] Yes. This is an automatic chemical dispenser, is it not?

Yes.

How does it work?

Clent

Well, you choose the category of the article that you want by indicating it on one of these little chaps here. [Indicates several small buttons] Jolly good. And now you dial the precise chemical formula that you want there.

May I? There's something I need rather desperately. [Dials in a short formula]

Clent

What's that?

Water. [Drinks it]

Clent

Indeed.

Ah, that's better. Now then, let's see. Jamie has vanished, [Does more dialing] Victoria's on her way back to the base, and neither of them can help us with our main problem.

An exact description of the spacecraft's propulsion unit.

That will?

I will.

Clent

With the help of Ammonium Sulphide?

We know these creatures come from Mars, don't we? What do we know about their planet's atmospheric conditions?

Chiefly nitrogen, with virtually no oxygen or hydrogen.

Then they're not going to enjoy this little concoction much, are they?

Clent

What? You mean you intend to use it as a kind of toxic gas?

Well, if I'm going to an alien spaceship, it may come in handy.

Victoria

Perhaps we've landed in a world of mad men!

They're human beings, if that's what you mean. Indulging their favorite pastime of trying to destroy each other.

I suggested that we meet under a disused jetty by the river.

Disused Yeti?

Jamie

Me Doctor? But you said we were never to touch the controls.

Quite right, Jamie! Welcome to the TARDIS.

Thank you. You're doing so well impersonating me, I thought I might return the compliment.

... And Giles Kent?

...unfortunately, didn't survive the explosion.

We're going to put you outside Salamander. No friends. No safety. Nothing. You'll run, but they'll catch up with you.

If you don't mind my saying so, Mister Van Lutyens, I think this is a very bad idea of yours. You don't know what you're up against.

Jamie

Aye, you wouldn't catch me down there.

Why don't we wait until Mister Harris comes back, sir?

The only way to find out if this weed stuff of yours is blocking the base of the impeller is to go down and have a look.

Look, Mister Van Lutyens, I have no authority to send my men down there.

I realize that. That's why I'm going down.

By yourself?

Oh yes.

I wouldn't go down. Well, I hope you know what you're doing, sir.

I think so.

I wish you wouldn't do this, Mister Van Lutyens.

I can't sit about waiting any longer. I have no position of authority here but I do have the run of the company installations, and if I can do nothing else I can at least inspect the base of the impeller shaft. [puts on a gas mask and steps through the airlock onto the impeller shaft lift platform] Tot straks.

Good luck.

Jamie

Aye, you'll need it.

All right, lower him down.

I suppose you've come for me?

You know our ways.

Yes, I hoped you realised somebody did. I imagine you have orders to destroy me?

Yes.

Tell me one thing, why did you order Duggan to destroy radio communication with the Earth? After all, that is why you want possession of the wheel, isn't it?

You know our ways.

That doesn't answer my question.

He was instructed to destroy only the transmitting complex.

Oh, I see, how interesting, yes, of course. And presumably your large space-ship holds your invasion fleet, and the smaller ships can only enter the planet's atmosphere by homing on a radio beam.

You know our ways. You must be destroyed.

Yes, I was afraid you'd get back to that.

Jamie

Oh, no, you're not thinking of what I think you're thinking of, are you?

That, I think, Jamie, depends upon what you think I am thinking!

No information yet available from Weather Control Bureau.

[annoyed] Oh, no. I'd better get over there!

[On the Monitor] T-Mat control? Commander Radnor? Ah.

Doctor!

This is the Doctor.

Doctor, are you all right? What's happening over there?

Yes, well, we've had quite a battle here, but things are all right now. There was a warrior here, but we've dealt with him.

Excellent! Is there much damage?

Well, yes, I'm afraid so. I'm going to see how much now. How are you getting along with the signal in the satellite:?

Professor Eldred and Miss Kelly are coping with it now.

Good. I'll be back as soon as I can.

How's it going?

We're ready to test.

Play back recording of homing beam.

Now, that's the Ice Warriors' homing beam. Let's see if I can produce that exactly.

Can't you get any closer than that?

I shall! Don't worry! [the beeping slows down until it's the right speed]

That's it.

I'll lock into that frequency.

Just one thing, Miss Kelly. Now that you've perfected this thing, how do you propose getting it to the launching pad without T-Mat?

It just so happens I found a petrol car in a motor museum.

Really? What make?

I've no idea, but it's got four wheels and it goes. Get this to the vehicle immediately.

Will a car be able to get through the foam?

Yes. I've arranged for a route to be cleared by hosing the foam.

Good, good.

But the only way we'll ever get rid of it permanently is by rain. Lots of rain!

This is impossible!

[Checks the communications link] The signal! There is no power!

You did this!

Yes. That signal has been going no further than this control room.

But they were receiving my signal!

Not your signal. Ours.

You sent a signal from Earth?

We sent up a satellite. That signal has sent your fleet into a false orbit!

The heat of the sun will kill them! You have destroyed our entire fleet!

You tried to destroy an entire world.

Earth will still die. The Fungus will take the oxygen from your atmosphere.

No, I'm afraid you've failed there too. We can destroy the Fungus.

[Seething with rage, turns to his only remaining Ice Warrior] Kill him!

Jamie

Doctor!

Jamie, look out! [leaps over the T-Mat control desk and tackles the Ice Warrior]

Jamie

[leaps across the room and tackles the Ice Warrior] Creag Au Tuire!

[holding up his solar energy power leads] Jamie, a live terminal!

Oh, well done, Jamie! Oh, goodness me! Jamie, thank you very much. Now then, we must T-Mat ourselves back to Earth.

You may have changed your appearance, but I know who you are.

Oh, do you?

Your machine is a TARDIS. You're too familiar with its controls to be a stranger.

I had every right to leave.

Stealing a TARDIS? Oh, I'm not criticising you. We are two of a kind.

We most certainly are not.

We were both Time Lords. And we both decided to leave our race.

I had reasons of my own.

Just as I had.

If these Time Lords are your friends, why don't you wait for them?

You don't understand, Mister Russell I must go! Please!

[With pistols drawn] You stay here with us, my friend.

Look, I am not going to argue. Jamie, Zoe, Cartsairs, into the machine.

Jamie

But, Doctor, he's not joking, y'know!

For once, Jamie, do as you are told!

You move and I kill you!

Then you will just have to kill me, Mister Villar.

Well, Mister Doctor, that is just what I will do.

You can't shoot him in the back. He's helped us too much.

The back, the front, what's the difference?

It's too late now anyway.

Don't Worry. When the Time Lords get him, he'll wish you had killed him.

Goodbye, Jamie.

Jamie

But Doctor, surely we can't just-

Goodbye, Jamie.

Jamie

I'll never forget you, you know.

I won't forget you! Goodbye, Zoe.

Will we ever meet again?

Again? Now, Zoe, you know that time is relative.
