Steven Taylor quotes from Doctor Who

Steven

So really, we arrived in your time entirely by accident. It's just another mis-calculation by the Doctor.

Steven

Let's hope the piano knows it.

What do you think of that, now, eh? A Viking helmet.

Steven Taylor

Maybe.

What do you mean, "maybe"? What do you think it is, a space helmet for a cow?

Steven

Hey, you know, there might be a lake or a river around, Doctor. Do you fancy a swim?

[annoyed] My dear young man, this isn't a joy ride! This is a scientific expedition!

Steven Taylor

Oh, come off it, Doctor! You can't be scientific all the time. Anyway, uh, you look as if you could do with a good wash-down.

Steven

Well, Doctor? Will this planet explode?

The Rills were quite right.

Steven

We've got to get off the planet.

Yes, if the Drahvins let us go.

Steven

We've got to make that sure they do.

They need our help with the Rills! Why do you think they've held Vicki back?

Steven

Okay, but we've got to get off here somehow!

It's imperative that we leave at once.

Steven

Why is that that? The Drahvins did say fourteen dawns.

Two dawns! Tomorrow is the last day this planet will ever see.

Why do you not give up, Earthman?

Steven

[gasping, and heavy breathing] I'd rather face the Chumblies than you any day.

[evil laughter] That will not work now. The pressure has locked the door. You must surrender, or die!

Steven

Where's he off to now? It's a fine time to go looking at the view.

Vicki

After all. That's why he went out there, to find out where we are. Anyway, that man looks quite friendly now. He's probably showing him to the nearest town.

Steven

The Doctor made a joke.

Vicki

Anyway, we don't even know where we are.

Steven

Well, the Doctor said they're Greeks, we're probably in Greece.

Vicki

Oh, but that would be lovely wouldn't it. We might meet the heroes.

Well, I think with all eternity to choose from, I did rather well to get us back to Earth.

Steven

I'm very glad you're pleased with yourself. I suppose I should be grateful for standing here, trussed like a chicken, ready to have me throat cut.

No one mentioned cutting throats.

Great One, don't leave us! Don't let the strange beings catch you...

He's been caught! We've got to leave!

Steven

No! He said we had to...

No!

Stop! Without him, we can't reach the place of perfection!

We won't! We're going without him!

[to Katarina] Stop that or you're dead!

I can't sacrifice everything for the sake of that one girl!

Steven

Listen! Without us you wouldn't have got off Kembel at all, and nothing would be worth bothering about!

All right, so we all go back together. But without me, I doubt that you would have got this far either.

Steven

Yes, all right, but I won't let you hurt Katarina. We'll head back for Kembel as the Doctor says on the way, we may find a way to get her out of there.

You won't!

Steven

[Katarina reaches for the airlock switch] No, not that one! Katarina!

Steven

Katarina! [softly] Too late. She pressed the wrong button, Doctor.

She may have wanted to, dear boy. She wanted to save our lives.

[awkwardly] It... must have been quick.

I hope she's reached her Place of Perfection.

Steven

Yes, but not that way.

She didn't understand. She couldn't understand. She wanted to save our lives. And perhaps the lives of all the other beings of the Solar System. I hope she's found her Perfection. Oh, how I shall always remember her as one of the Daughters of the Gods. Yes, as one of the Daughters of the Gods.

Steven

Daleks!

You're right, Doctor. They've come.

You are surrounded. You will come with us.

I'm afraid, my friends, that the Daleks have won.

Here's a toast, a happy Christmas to all of us.

Steven

The same to you, Doctor, Sara.

And incidentally, a happy Christmas to all of you at home!

Steven

Sara, where have you been?

I don't know. But a strange man kept telling me to take my clothes off.

Now, come along. We must go back to the TARDIS. This is a madhouse. It's all full of Arabs. Come along.

Steven

Let's go, Doctor. I've seen enough of this place.

[a little happy] Well, my boy, we finally rid this planet of Daleks!

Steven

[Steven is upset that the Doctor is celebrating their victory, as he thinks about the three companions killed in this story, in a slightly crying and slightly angry tone] What about Bret? Katarina?... Sara.

[the Doctor thinks while Steven goes back on board the TARDIS] What a waste. What a terrible waste.
