Gilmore quotes from Doctor Who

Now perhaps, Doctor, you could tell me what is going on?

You must pull your men back now. It's their only chance.

Gilmore

It's preposterous. We can't disengage now. Whoever is in there, my men can handle it. Sergeant!

Listen to me, Brigadier...

Gilmore

Group Captain. Group Captain Gilmore!

Nothing you possess will be effective against what's in there!

Sir?

Gilmore

Three men, rifle-grenades, even spread left right and centre. Fire on my command.

Gilmore

Yes, sir.

Group Captain, you're not dealing with human beings here.

Gilmore

What am I dealing with? Little green men?

No, little green blobs in bonded polycarbide armour.

Grenades are ready, sir.

Group Captain Gilmore.

Gilmore

Fire.

[exasperated] Humans...

Gilmore

Smith!

Mike

Sir?

Gilmore

Get on the radio. Call up Blue Four and Six. Tell Four to pick up an ambulance on the way.

Mike

Yes, sir.

It doesn't matter how many men you get here. It isn't going to make any difference.

Gilmore

Doctor, my men have just put three high-explosive grenades into a confined area. Nothing even remotely human could have survived that.

That's the point group, Group Captain: it isn't even remotely human.

Gilmore

You were hired as a chief scientific adviser, one tends to expect advice from one's adviser.

For one thing, Group Captain, I was not hired, I was drafted. And for another, do you think I'm enjoying having some space vagrant come along and tell me that the painstaking research I have devoted my life to, has been superseded by a bunch of tin-plated pepper pots?!

Gilmore

Steady on, Professor!

"Steady on"?! You drag me down from Cambridge, you quote the Peacetime Emergency Powers Act and me, and then you expect me to advise on something outside the scope of human experience! [sighs] Bluntly, Group Captain, we are dependent on the Doctor because only the Doctor knows what is going on!

Doctor, we've had a report of a radar contact.

On a re-entry curve from low orbit?

Yes.

That'll be the Imperial Dalek shuttlecraft.

Gilmore

What? They're not landing a spaceship here.

Here? No. We're much too far from the main action.

You're sure...?

Ace

[staring out the window at the Dalek shuttle landing in the school playground] Cor!

Ace, get away from the window! Down!

I think I might have miscalculated.
