Vicki quotes from Doctor Who

Vicki

Why have I got to keep pretending I'm a boy? Why can't I be a girl again?

Vicki

Time, like space, although a dimension in itself, also has dimensions of its own.

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.

Vicki

Well, they weren't getting any younger, were they?

It's lucky for you, child, that they aren't around to hear you say that. Hm, good gracious me. You think they're old? What do you think of me?

We're going to help you and Maaga and the rest of them to get to the Rill spaceship. We wish to save lives, not to destroy them.

Maaga does not trust you. I do not trust you.

Vicki

Listen, we have captured these machines. They do anything we tell them now. Watch. Come forward. Stop. Go back. Stop.

Now, madam! Listen to me!

Kill me now. I have failed my duty.

Nonsense. Let us stop this thought of killing anyone. Now, madam, back to your spaceship. Back please.

Vicki

Go on. Hurry.

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.
