Barbara quotes from Doctor Who

Barbara

The Doctor's curious, that means we stay.

Barbara

You're trying to help!?

Fear makes companions of all of us.

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?

Barbara

Well, maybe we're going to see a new side to the Doctor.

Ian

Yeah, well, he isn't getting any younger, is he? You know, it's the first time he's been asleep during a landing. Barbara, I've got an idea he's getting a bit... [Ian mimes being old and senile, and Barbara laughs. The Doctor suddenly pokes his head out of the TARDIS doors]

Remember, I can hear what you're saying.

This sector seems to be paralysed.

Barbara

Oh, look, this is the Doctor’s astral map.

Does it work?

Barbara

Yes, I think so.

Can we speak to the invasion force with it?

Barbara

Yes, if I can just find the right frequency. Where would you want it set?

To the planet Pictos, there.

Barbara

Now, try that.

Vortis to main force. Vortis to main force. Warning, repeat, warning, Electron guns useless against the Zarbi. Isop Plateau heavily ambushed. Wait for instructions. Reply.

Either it hasn’t heard, or it doesn’t trust us.

Barbara

Or I didn’t set it right. I don’t know, there’s something wrong. This thing ought to light. Prapillus, look. It’s the Isop-tope. The Doctor, he must have been captured.

Then we must take it to the centre ourselves.

Barbara

But why would...?

There’s no time to lose.

Hilio will take care of the Doctor.

Barbara

Hilio.

Hurry!

Barbara

We're not idiots! We want to go home!

Ian

Yes! Home! I want to sit in a pub and drink a pint of beer again! I want to walk in a park, and watch a cricket match. And above all, I want to belong somewhere, and do something! Instead of this aimless drifting around in space!

AIMLESS?! I tried for two years to get you both home!

Ian

Well you haven't been successful, have you?

How dare you, young man! HOW DARE YOU, SIR! I didn't invite you into the ship in the first place! You both thrust yourselves upon me!

Barbara

OH, DOCTOR! STOP IT!

Oh, for heaven's sake! I've never heard such nonsense!

Barbara

Look. I know we've thrust ourselves upon you! But we've been through a great deal since then! And all we've been through will remain with us always! It could be the most exciting part of my life. Look, Doctor, we're different people. And now we have a chance to go home. We want to take that chance. Will you help us work that machine?

...No. No! I will not aid and abet suicide!

Ian

Oh, he's as stubborn as ever!

Vicki

Doctor.

[Trying to avoid her, turns away].. Hmm?

Vicki

Doctor, you've got let them go if they want too. They want to be back in their own time.

Don't you want to go with them, child? Hmm?

Vicki

What for? Why would I want to be back in their time for? I want to be with you! Doctor... You've got to help them.

Don't you realise, child, of the enormous risks?

Vicki

But it's up to them!

[turns back towards Ian and Barbara] Do both realize the enormous risks?

Ian

Yes, Doctor. We still want to go.

Oh, very well. Follow me. [Heads towards the machine and prepares to unlock it, then turns around] But you must follow my instructions implicitly. Understood? Implicitly! [brief pause] You'll both have about a 50/50 chance.

Barbara

Hey, Doctor! Wherever you are...

Ian

Shh! There's someone coming.

Barbara

Goodbye, Doctor! Thanks for the ride.

Ian

Yeah, it was fun, Doctor. goodbye.
