Through the millennia, the Time Lords of Gallifrey led a life of ordered calm, protected against all threats from lesser civilisations by their great power. But this was to change. Suddenly, and terribly, the Time Lords faced the most dangerous crisis in their long history...

[The Doctor bends down to avoid the detection of the guard.]

I say, is something the matter?
No, no, just a twinge in the knee.
RRuncible
Well, if you will lead such a rackety life... Have you had a facelift?
Several, so far.
That's monstrous! Vaporisation without representation is against the constitution!
[The Doctor is being tortured.]
All right! I confess, I confess. I confess to you're being a bigger idiot than I thought.
Oh! Engin, I can feel my hair curling and that can mean either that it's going to rain...or that I'm on to something.
Of course... What a stupendous egotist!
[The Doctor to The Master.]
You'd delay an execution to pull the wings off a fly.

What is the Master like on mathematics?
He's brilliant, absolutely brilliant — he's almost up to my standards.
You do not understand hatred as I understand it. Only hate keeps me alive. Why else should I endure this pain?
Why have you brought me here?
As a scapegoat for the killing of the President! Who else but you, Doctor? So despicably good. So insufferably compassionate... I wanted you to die in ignominious shame and disgrace!
Doctor, my congratulations, you're just in time for the end!
You're insane! You're insane, do you hear me? You're releasing a force that nothing can stop!
Take the rod. You could take it with you to your grave, except that none of you will need a grave!
If you undo that, you'll die as surely as any of us!
You can do better than that, Doctor. Even in extremis, I wear the Sash of Rassilon!
Yes! And the president was wearing it when he was shot down! The sash won't protect you! It's damaged!
You lie!
As I believe I told you long ago, Doctor, you will never amount to anything in the galaxy while you retain your propensity for vulgar facetiousness.
Yes, sir. You've said that many times, sir. May I go, sir?
Certainly you may, preferably with the utmost expedition. [To Spandrell] Perhaps you will see that the transduction barriers are raised.
SSpandrell
Yes, sir.
Oh, Doctor?
Sir?
Nine out of ten.
Oh... [chuckles bashfully] Thank you, sir.
