Fifth Doctor quotes from Doctor Who

[After bidding his past incarnations farewell.] (to himself) I'm definitely not the man I was. [in relief] Thank Goodness.

I sometimes wonder why I like the people of this miserable planet so much.

And if anyone happens to ask whether I made any material difference to the welfare of this planet, you can tell them I came and went like a summer cloud.

Oh, marvelous. You're going to kill me. What a finely tuned response to the situation.

A risk shared is a risk doubled.

[Trying to pass Tegan off as an android] I got this one cheap because the walk's not quite right. And then there's the accent...

Is this death?

Tell me, Portreve, off the record, will I find the Doctor here?

Oh, yes, Doctor, very soon.

Good.

I am Lin Futu.

Well I'd never have guessed it, you look in the best of health to me!

Tegan

If anything he's saved us a long walk!

I like long walks!

Adric

So what is a railway station?

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.

D'You think so? As a boy, I always wanted to drive one.

Superb innings! Worthy of the Master.

[alarmed] The Master?

Well, the other Doctor! [The Doctor still looks alarmed] W.G. Grace!

[relieved] Yes, of course!

And besides —

Besides what?

Well, it wouldn't be cricket.

When did you last have the pleasure of smelling a flower, watching a sunset, eating a well-prepared meal?

These things are irrelevant.

For some people, small, beautiful events are what life is all about!

Do you really want to go home?

Adric

No, of course not. There's nothing there for me anymore.

[mock annoyance] So you did all these calculations for nothing!
