“The Sensorites” quotes from Doctor Who

It all started out as a mild curiosity in the junkyard, and now it's turned out to be quite a great spirit of adventure.

I learned not to meddle in other people's affairs years ago.

Ian

[Laughs]

Now, now, now, don't be absurd. There's not an ounce of curiosity in me, my dear boy.

Now listen to me, both of you. You've taken the lock of my ship and I want it returned immediately.

You are in no position to threaten us.

I don't make threats. But I do keep promises. And I promise you I shall cause you more trouble than you bargained for...If you don’t return my property!

These creatures, these Earth people, are loud and ugly things! Why could we not have met them in the desert or in the mountains?

Susan

Grandfather and I don't come from Earth. Oh, it's ages since we've seen our planet. It's quite like Earth, but at night the sky is a burned orange, and the leaves on the trees are bright silver.

My mind tells me that you wish to see your home again, and yet there is a part of you which calls for adventure. A wanderlust.

Susan

Yes. Well, we'll all go home some day. That's if you'll let us.

I think I will.

Susan

[Regarding a possible future return to Gallifrey]: When will we get back, Grandfather?

I don't know, my dear. This old ship of mine seems to be an aimless thing. However, we don't worry about it, do we? Do you?

Susan

Sometimes I feel I'd like to belong somewhere, not just be a wanderer. Still, I'm not unhappy.

Good, good.
