LeelaDon't worry, Doctor. I found the answer: knife them in the neck!
LeelaPerhaps everyone runs from the "taxman?"
[Leela meets the Doctor for the first time]
LeelaThe evil one!
Well nobody's perfect but that's overstating it a little!
Would you like a jelly baby?
LeelaIt's true then. They say the Evil One eats babies.
I wonder...
LeelaWhat?
Hush! I'm wondering.
Odd feeling...
LeelaWhat is?
Standing in my own throat is.
[Leela is manipulating a yo-yo while The Doctor is at the control console of the TARDIS]
LeelaDoctor?
Hmm?
LeelaCan I stop now?
If you want to.
LeelaIt will not affect this?
Affect this? No, it's a yo-yo. It's a game; I thought you were enjoying it.
Leela[incredulously] Enjoying it?! [drops the yo-yo] You said I had to keep it going up and down, I thought it was part of the magic!
[looks at Leela with wide-eyed surprise] Magic, Leela? Magic?
LeelaI know; I know, there's no such thing as magic.
That's right. To the rational mind, nothing is inexplicable; only unexplained.
LeelaSo; explain to me how this, "TARDIS" is larger on the inside than the out?
Hmmm? Alright, I'll show you. It's because insides and outsides are not in the same dimension. [The Doctor holds up two black cubes of differing sizes] Which box is larger?
Leela[pointing to the larger of the two] That one.
Alright... [The Doctor places the larger cube on the command console, and walks over next to Leela and holds up the smaller one] Now, which is larger?
Leela[incredulously, pointing at the larger cube sitting on the console] That one!
But it looks smaller.
LeelaWell, that's because it's further away!
Exactly! If you could keep that exactly that distance away, and have it here, the large one would fit inside the small one.
LeelaThat's silly.
That's trans-dimensional engineering; a key Time Lord discovery!
LeelaYou mean you can't control this thing?!
Of course I can control. (adds in an undertone as she looks at him dubiously) Nine times out of ten. All right, seven times out of ten. Five times out of ten...never mind!
LeelaWhat's the tribe here?
Cockneys!
What's this?!
LeelaA janis thorn.
I thought I told you not to carry any more--
LeelaHe was trying to kill you!
Oh. [beat] Oh. Well, in that case, you'd better come with me.
[Litefoot lights a pipe]
LeelaWhy are you putting fire in your mouth?
Good lord. Has the girl never seen a pipe before?
There's no tobacco where Leela comes from
Sounds healthy, but exceedingly dull
Hah! Do you know what this is?
LeelaYou ask me so that you can tell me!
Exactly.
LeelaSo, maybe he's got another 'eureka'?
No, 'eureka' is Greek for 'this bath is too hot.'
Has she got the gun?
[Leela shoots the handgun at the floor]
Hey! Who are you shooting at?
LeelaWell, I've never fired one of these before! [Shoots it at the floor again]
[After Leela fatally wounds the Rutan with the Doctor's weapon]
Your triumph... will be short, Earthling... Our Mothership... will blast this island... into molten rock!
LeelaEmpty threats, Rutan! Enjoy your death as I enjoyed killing you!
We die... for the glory of our race!... Long live... the Rutan Empire!
