Steven Taylor quotes from Doctor Who

Steven

The girl! The girl who was with me! If you'd brought her with us she needn't have died. But no, you had to leave her there to be slaughtered.

Well, it is possible of course she didn't die, and I was right to leave her.

Steven

Possible? Look, how possible? That girl was already hunted by the Catholic guards. If they killed ten thousand how did they spare her? You don't know, do you? You can't say for certain that you weren't responsible for that girl's death.

I was not responsible.

Steven

Oh, no. You just sent her back to her aunt's house where the guards were waiting to catch her. I tell you this much, Doctor, wherever this machine of yours lands next, I'm getting off. If your researches have so little regard for human life, then I want no part of it.

Steven

Look, Dodo, you don't know what you might have found out here. No gravity, poisoned atmosphere, all sorts of things. Look, stop prancing around over there. What happens if you get lost?

Dodo

I catch a bus back.

Steven

A bus? Look, what are you talking about? I mean, just where do you think you are?

Dodo

Ah! Bet you thought you'd caught me, didn't you? Bet you thought I didn't know. Well, I do.

Steven

You do?

Dodo

Of course I do.

Steven

What, this place? I mean, you recognise it? What, with all these strange animals and flowers and things?

Steven

Well, you can't have been here before.

Dodo

Yes, I have. It's just outside London. I came here once with the school. It's called Whipsnade.

No, no, no, dear boy. All this is a spaceship!

Steven

A spaceship?

Yes, exactly!

Dodo

Hey, Doctor? If this is a spaceship what are they?

Well, you did come, my dear, so it's too late to be worry about that. And stop snivelling!

Dodo

I'm not snivelling. It's me nose running again! Anyway, I'm feeling better now but I don't suppose anyone cares.

But of course they care, my dear. Now don't worry. It's not your fault at all. If it's anybody's, it's mine.

Steven

Look, do you think this has happened before? That we've carried an infection from one age to another, or even one planet to another?

Oh, I don't want to think it about it, dear boy. It's too horrifying. Though I must say that we're usually very healthy.

Steven

It'll spread through the whole ship, become an epidemic.

Well, that depends on the strength of the virus infection.

Dodo

If it's half as bad as my cold was, it will.

Oh, do blow your nose, child. It's running all over the place.

Dodo

No, it isn't. I'm crying this time.

Steven

Bless you.

Dodo

Oh, Doctor, don't say you're catching a cold now.

Steven

[Now Steven and Dodo turn toward the Doctor and discover that he's disappeared] Doctor? Well, where are you?

[the Doctor briefly fades in and out of sight but then completely disappears] What do you mean, dear boy? I'm still here, hmm?

Steven

Huh?

Dodo

Doctor, you've vanished!

What? Oh, nonsense, child! Nonsense! Hmm!

Dodo

You have! Do you think this is something to do with the Refusians?

Steven

Why... it must be!

You're wrong! This is something far more serious. We're in grave danger. This is some form of attack!

[Wakes up after the TARDIS explodes] S-S-Steven.

Steven

[Rushing over to her] Sara. It's all right. We're OK!

Hey! What's that? Oh, of course we are. Nothing can enter the ship!

But what happened to the ship? How are we outside?

This... is obviously a beach. I've always liked the sea-side. Something about the sand between ones toes... It's going to ruin these shoes though...

[Slightly annoyed] You're changing the subject, Doctor. The TARDIS...
