“The Time Meddler” quotes from Doctor Who

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?

Now, my boy, there are two things you can do. One: Sit there until you get your breath back, and two: Don't call me Doc! Now do I make myself clear?

That is the dematerialising control, and that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner; those are the doors; that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy! Now please stop bothering me.

What do you think of that, now, eh? A Viking helmet.

Steven Taylor

Maybe.

What do you mean, "maybe"? What do you think it is, a space helmet for a cow?

So that's it! You're a time meddler! No wonder you wanted to get rid of me. And what are you trying to get up to this time?

I'm sure you'll approve, Doctor.

Are you quite mad? You know as well as I do the golden rule about space and time travelling. Never, never interfere with the course of history.

[Reading a letter from the Doctor] "My dear fellow, I'm sure will you excuse me but I didn't want to say goodbye, as you are obviously going to be very busy for some time." He's right there. "Just in case you still idea's about your master plan, I've taken precautions to stop your time meddling." How could he stop a Mark 4? "Possibly one day in the future, when you've learnt your lesson, I shall return and release you." Release me? Ha! Me? Oh, the old fool. I wonder what he meant by release me? Well, I'll be going.

[Horrified] Ah! Ah! What's he done? He's taken my dimensional control! He's ruined my time machine! I'm, I'm marooned. Marooned! In 1066. Oh, Doctor. Doctor! Doctor!
