Susan Foreman quotes from Doctor Who

Susan

[To The Doctor] I know these Earth people better than you, their minds reject things they don't understand.

Susan

I'm just fed up no-one believes me.

I wonder if the Daleks have seen us.

Susan

Seen you?

I mean, if they call us mutations...what must they be like?

Ian

Yes. But just a minute. They have no pick-up or anything. And only the base of the machine touches the floor. How do they complete the circuit?

Susan

Batteries?

No, no. I believe the Daleks have discovered a way to exploit static electricity. Very ingenious, if I'm right.

Barbara

What, drawing power from the floor?

Precisely. If I'm right, of course. Now, what do we know apart from guessing how they are powered?

Susan

Grandfather and I don't come from Earth. Oh, it's ages since we've seen our planet. It's quite like Earth, but at night the sky is a burned orange, and the leaves on the trees are bright silver.

My mind tells me that you wish to see your home again, and yet there is a part of you which calls for adventure. A wanderlust.

Susan

Yes. Well, we'll all go home some day. That's if you'll let us.

I think I will.

Susan

[Regarding a possible future return to Gallifrey]: When will we get back, Grandfather?

I don't know, my dear. This old ship of mine seems to be an aimless thing. However, we don't worry about it, do we? Do you?

Susan

Sometimes I feel I'd like to belong somewhere, not just be a wanderer. Still, I'm not unhappy.

Good, good.

Two more pairs of hands! Good.

[Pointing to Barbara.] She says she can cook!

Can you?

[Addressing Susan] And what do YOU do?

Susan

I eat.

During all the years I've been taking care of you, you in return have been taking care of me.

Susan

Oh, Grandfather, I belong with you!

Not any longer, Susan. You are still my grandchild and always will be. But now, you're a woman too. I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own. With David, you will be able to find those roots and live normally like any woman should do. Believe me, my dear, your future lies with David and not with a silly old buffer like me. One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. Goodbye, Susan. Goodbye, my dear. [He dematerialises the TARDIS, which vanishes. David and Susan leave, Susan dropping her key onto the floor.]

Foreman

So these, uh, these new bosses. What's their names?

I think you could say they're from out of town.

Foreman

Italians?

A bit further than that.

Foreman

How much further?

Beyond your imagination.

Foreman

Aw what's that supposed to mean? Who are they? Mr. Diagoras, who are we working for?

Behold your masters. [the lift doors open to reveal Dalek Caan]
