Doctor Who quotes

You belong to us. You shall be like us.

How did you know we would release you? You could have remained frozen forever.

The humanoid mind. You are inquisitive.

Ah, I see. A trap. A very special sort of trap too.

What do you mean special trap?

They wanted superior intellects. That's why they made the trap so complicated!

We knew that somebody like you would come to our planet someday.

Yes. We've done exactly as you calculated, haven't we?

Now you belong to us.

The power cable generated an electrical field and confused their tiny metal minds. You might almost say they've had a complete metal breakdown. [Jamie groans] Oh, I'm so sorry, Jamie.

Jamie, I hope you made those ropes secure.

Jamie

Oh, the King of the Beasties himself couldnae get out of that one.

Good.

Jamie, remind me to give you a lesson in tying knots, sometime.

The best thing about a machine that makes sense is you can very easily make it turn out nonsense.

Jamie

Have you thought up some clever plan, Doctor?

Yes, Jamie, I believe I have.

Jamie

What are you going to do?

Bung a rock at it.

Red state emergency. Evacuation phase three. Phase three evacuate. Transport section leaders report now. Phase three evacuation.

Something's wrong.

Victoria

It seems safe enough.

We're discovered. [She pins labels on the travellers] Oh, thank you.

Jamie

Thank you. Excuse me, miss, I'm Jamie McCrimmon, do you think you could tell us where we are?

She doesn't want to know, Jamie.

Victoria

Hey, this says we're on evacuation flight seven.

That's rather inhospitable. We've only just arrived.

Jamie

Hey, and this tag, it says I'm a scavenger. And yours does too! Here, we're not beggars.

Hush, Jamie.

Victoria

What is it, Doctor?

It sounds like electronic machinery. Like a computer. But there's something wrong with its pitch.

Victoria

Oh, no. Now look, it might be dangerous. Now let's leave it.

No.

Victoria

Doctor.

[Smiles mischievously] Let's go in!

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.

Jamie

Victoria?

Victoria

What?

Jamie

Did you see how those lassies were dressed?

Victoria

Yes, I did. And trust you to think of something like that.

Jamie

Well, I couldn't help thinking about it.

Victoria

Well, I think it's disgusting, wearing that kind of… thing.

Jamie

Oh, aye, so it is, so it is. You, eh, you don't see yourself dressed like that then?

Victoria

Jamie!

Jamie

Oh, I'm sorry. It was, eh, just an idea.

Victoria

We will now change the subject, please. I want to look at this man.

Victoria

Who are you?

[hissing voice] Varga.

Victoria

Where are you from?

From the red planet.

Victoria

Mars? We thought you were dead and then you came alive.

However, the suspected presence of an alien spacecraft must be investigated, in case of potentially fissionable material.

Jamie

Spacecraft! Hey, do you reckon that's where the warrior's gone back to?

Well he didn't come by Shetland Pony, Jamie.

[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.

May I? There's something I need rather desperately. [Dials in a short formula]

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.

Victoria

Perhaps we've landed in a world of mad men!

They're human beings, if that's what you mean. Indulging their favorite pastime of trying to destroy each other.

I suggested that we meet under a disused jetty by the river.

Disused Yeti?

People spend all their time making nice things and then other people come along and break them!
