Professor Rumford quotes from Doctor Who

Professor Rumford

I know you're under considerable strain, Doctor, but, please, keep a grip on yourself!

Professor Rumford

Doctor, did I understand you correctly? That thing is made of stone.

Yes and it's closing in on us fast.

Professor Rumford

But it's impossible.

No it isn't. We're standing still.

Professor Rumford

I meant, a silicon-based life form is unknown, unheard of, impossible.

Maybe it doesn't realize that.

Professor Rumford

I still don't understand about hyperspace.

Who does?

I do.

Oh, shut up, K9! It's all to do with interspatial geometry.

Professor Rumford

I never studied that.

I'm not surprised; They gave up teaching that some two thousand years ago, even on Gallifrey.

Professor Rumford

Doctor, may I ask you a personal question?

Well, I don't see how I can stop you asking.

Professor Rumford

Are you from outer space?

No.

Professor Rumford

Oh.

More from what you'd call 'Inner Time'.

Professor Rumford

Where's that Dunkirk spirit? Never say die!

I never say die, but I cannot hold.

Now remember. Give it thirty seconds and then ‘pow!’

Professor Rumford

‘Pow’?

Yes, ‘pow!’ Pow – pow’s a technical expression, Professor, it means all the microcircuits have been fused in one great ‘gyuh!’ of molten metal.
