Doctor Who quotes

I can't see anything.

Jamie

Over there, by the trees. Hey, he's armed, too. Get down. Look, I'm going out there, you stay down here. When the rest of the guards come, send them out after me.

Yes, all right. [Jamie goes into the garden] This is just about the end of a perfect day. [A shot rings out] Hey, I know the food's bad, but you don't have to go that far! [More shots, and Griffin hides under the kitchen table] All right, have it your own way! Why did I ever leave Wollamaloo?

Jamie

You must have been a nasty little boy.

Oh, I was. But I had a very enjoyable childhood.

[faint] Help! Somebody help me! [Astrid finds the tunnel entrance] Help! [A short way in, Astrid finds Swann on the floor, with a bad cut on the back of his forehead] Help. Somebody help me.

Who did this to you?

A man named Salamander.

Salamander?

Down there.

Down there?

Jamie

Me Doctor? But you said we were never to touch the controls.

Quite right, Jamie! Welcome to the TARDIS.

Thank you. You're doing so well impersonating me, I thought I might return the compliment.

... And Giles Kent?

...unfortunately, didn't survive the explosion.

We're going to put you outside Salamander. No friends. No safety. Nothing. You'll run, but they'll catch up with you.

May I see your pass, madam?

Pass?

I have instructions that no one is to leave or enter the compound without a written pass from Chief Robson. Not until after the emergency.

But you know who I am. My husband is second in command to Chief Robson.

Yes, Mrs. Harris, I know.

Then let me pass, please.

Sorry, madam. I think you should return to the residential block.

Jamie

You mean to say that this place supplies all the gas for the whole of the south of England?

And for the whole of Wales.

Victoria

What are all those lights for?

Well, that's a plan of the entire compound and each of those lights represents a remote control camera that I can switch through to this screen if I want to look at any particular area. Like this.

Jamie

Oh. Where are all these rigs people talk about?

Well, they're out at sea, of course, but that plan over there shows you the relative position of all the rigs under our command.

Victoria

What's the big one in the middle?

Well, that's the central control rig complex, the sort of the nerve centre of the whole thing. The other rigs feed her with gas and she in turn pumps it to us via the main pipeline, see.

Victoria

How awful to have to live out at sea. And lonely.

Oh, I don't know. Mister Robson once spent four years on one of the early rigs without ever going ashore.

Jamie

Aye, that would account for quite a lot.

There is little time. You know what you must do?

Yes.

You will obey?

If you don't mind my saying so, Mister Van Lutyens, I think this is a very bad idea of yours. You don't know what you're up against.

Jamie

Aye, you wouldn't catch me down there.

Why don't we wait until Mister Harris comes back, sir?

The only way to find out if this weed stuff of yours is blocking the base of the impeller is to go down and have a look.

Look, Mister Van Lutyens, I have no authority to send my men down there.

I realize that. That's why I'm going down.

By yourself?

Oh yes.

I wouldn't go down. Well, I hope you know what you're doing, sir.

I think so.

I wish you wouldn't do this, Mister Van Lutyens.

I can't sit about waiting any longer. I have no position of authority here but I do have the run of the company installations, and if I can do nothing else I can at least inspect the base of the impeller shaft. [puts on a gas mask and steps through the airlock onto the impeller shaft lift platform] Tot straks.

Good luck.

Jamie

Aye, you'll need it.

All right, lower him down.

Good. see that he stays there. Mister Harris?

Yes?

They've found Mister Robson.

Good. Where?

In his cabin, lying on his bunk, apparently.

Oh, well that's a relief.

There's a guard at the door, sir.

Good.

Mister Harris. I want to see Mister Robson.

Robson? But he's ill. He won't be able to put two...

I want to see him.

But you've seen him already. Surely you could see he was in no fit state to help us in any way.

I fully realize that, Mister Harris, but we're old friends. He might talk to me. There's just a possibility that he may know something that could help us.

I see. All right, but I'm coming with you. Robson's in an unpredictable state at the moment. He could be violent.

All right. You come too, Perkins.

Yes, Miss Jones.

Oh, if anything happens, Price, anything at all, I'll be with Miss Jones in Mister Robson's cabin.

Very good, sir.

Chief.

Right, sir.

Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

I suppose you've come for me?

You know our ways.

Yes, I hoped you realised somebody did. I imagine you have orders to destroy me?

Yes.

Tell me one thing, why did you order Duggan to destroy radio communication with the Earth? After all, that is why you want possession of the wheel, isn't it?

You know our ways.

That doesn't answer my question.

He was instructed to destroy only the transmitting complex.

Oh, I see, how interesting, yes, of course. And presumably your large space-ship holds your invasion fleet, and the smaller ships can only enter the planet's atmosphere by homing on a radio beam.

You know our ways. You must be destroyed.

Yes, I was afraid you'd get back to that.

An unintelligent enemy is far less dangerous than an intelligent one, Jamie. Just act stupid. Do you think you can manage that?

Jamie

Oh, no, you're not thinking of what I think you're thinking of, are you?

That, I think, Jamie, depends upon what you think I am thinking!

Is that the right way?

Jamie

Of course it's the right way. No it could be... erm...

Jamie

No, I wouldn't say that. We're just er... well...um... [beat] You want to know something?

What?

Jamie

I think we're lost.

(after seeing Jamie turn to cardboard without a face) Oh now I've lost his face.
