Clent quotes from Doctor Who

In 2 minutes 38 seconds, you're going to have an almighty explosion! The readings say so!

Clent

Well how can you possibly know that? I haven't even -- I haven't even processed them through the computer yet!

I don't need a computer.

Yes, that should hold it steady. It's not a perfect job, mind you. You ought to get an expert in, you know.

Clent

How did you -- it was all a bluff, wasn't it, that 2 minutes 38 seconds to danger.

Oh no, it was near enough correct. Give or take a second.

Clent

Rubbish.

Check it on your precious computer then.

Clent

Miss Garrett, do so.

Immediate emergency. In two minutes thirty seven seconds, the reactor will explode.

Well, a second out. We can't all be perfect.

[Looking at a device in the Ioniser control room] Yes. This is an automatic chemical dispenser, is it not?

Yes.

How does it work?

Clent

Well, you choose the category of the article that you want by indicating it on one of these little chaps here. [Indicates several small buttons] Jolly good. And now you dial the precise chemical formula that you want there.

Clent

What's that?

Water. [Drinks it]

Clent

Indeed.

Ah, that's better. Now then, let's see. Jamie has vanished, [Does more dialing] Victoria's on her way back to the base, and neither of them can help us with our main problem.

An exact description of the spacecraft's propulsion unit.

That will?

I will.

Clent

With the help of Ammonium Sulphide?

We know these creatures come from Mars, don't we? What do we know about their planet's atmospheric conditions?

Chiefly nitrogen, with virtually no oxygen or hydrogen.

Then they're not going to enjoy this little concoction much, are they?

Clent

What? You mean you intend to use it as a kind of toxic gas?

Well, if I'm going to an alien spaceship, it may come in handy.

Clent

Well, now, gentlemen, you said no traps and we, for our part, have made utterly sure that there are no traps...

I made no promises. I merely warned you not to trick me.

How can we help you?

I will tell you what I want and you will give it to me.

Clent

Oh, come now, Varga. That's not the way to talk. We're both of us in a very difficult situation and at times like this it beholds us both to proceed with mutual respect and, because the whole world could be...

So much for your word.

Clent

That was, that was not planned.
