TV show quotes
Once they see that the device works properly, they'll release me.
I very much doubt it. You see, before you reactivated it, I reversed the polarity of the neutron flow.
You did what?! You realise what will happen?!
Oh, yes. Do you?
Well, there'll be a massive reverse feedback into their whole power system.
Exactly. In about ten minutes from now, the whole place should go up. Enjoy your revenge.
In any case, Doctor, every section of UNIT now has the search for the Master written into standing orders.
Priority Z one hundred and forty four, I suppose?
Priority A one, actually.
Look, I tell you, Brigadier, there is grave danger.
Danger of what, for heavens sake?
Well, I'm not sure, but in my dream I quite clearly saw...
You know, if this got out, you'd be the laughing stock of UNIT. A dream. Really, Doctor, you'll be consulting the entrails of a sheep next. [Jo laughs]
[The Doctor and Jo are driving along a road in Bessie]
[looking at the sky] It's a doomy old day. I mean, just look at that sky. Just look at it.
Do stop wiffling, Jo, there's a good girl. We're not out on a pleasure jaunt, you know?
Sorry, Doctor.
Only, if it is the Master, we can't run the risk of losing him. You just keep your eye on the time sensor.
Right. [the Time Sensor promptly starts working] Doctor?
Yeah?
It's working again.
[stops Bessie] What's the bearing?
Er, oh seven four, and, er, sixteen point three nine miles away.
Well, that's Venusian miles. In Earth miles, that's be about seventy two point seven nine. Let's take a look at the map. [pulls up the map] Well, we're about here. That should put us somewhere around there. A village called Wootton.
Wootton? Well, that's where the Brigadier and Sergeant Benton are.
TOM-TIT? If the Master's behind that. What time's the demonstration?
2 o'clock.
We've got to stop it. Hang on tight, Jo. [puts Bessie into Super Drive and off they rocket]
Put your hands in the air, both of you. Get them up. Now turn around slowly. Slowly.
Well, well, well. The resourceful Sergeant Benton.
You didn't really think you could fool me with a fake telephone call, did you? It's the oldest trick in the book.
I underestimated you, Sergeant. How did you know?
Simple. The Brigadier's not in the habit of calling Sergeants "my dear fellow".
Ah. The tribal taboos of army etiquette. I find it difficult to identify with such primitive absurdities.
Yes, well, primitive or not, mate, you're still in the soup without a ladle, aren't you.
Now, Sergeant, you must let me explain.
Keep back! Keep back.
Yes, of course.
Keep back.
Of course, Sergeant. You see, Sergeant Benton, the whole point is that... Doctor! What a very timely...
[Benton looks behind him and the Master grabs his gun arm, making him drop the pistol and throws him to the floor. Benton hits his head against a filing cabinet and is out for the count]
You're wrong, Sergeant Benton! That is the oldest trick in the book!
[Jo is wearing a Minoan dress and wig and is admiring herself in a Cheval mirror]
Wow, what a groovy dress. Do you reckon it'll get mum's approval?
Mum? Oh, you mean Queen Galleia?
Yeah, guess so. [giggles]
Mum.
Anyway, let's go and give her a preview. [walks to the door]
No, I'm sorry. She does not wish to be disturbed. The Lord Master is with her.
Is he now?
They speak of the sacred mysteries.
Kronos and all that bit?
It is forbidden.
But that is what they're on about?
Yes.
Right. [begins to open the door]
[stops Jo] No, you mustn't go in! You mustn't!
Look, I'll be as quiet as a... Do they have Mice in Atlantis?
Yes.
Well, that's what I'll be as quiet as. An Atlantean Mouse, OK? [opens the door a little]
Inside, old man! [throws Dalios into the cell with the Doctor and Jo]
I demand to be taken to the Lady Galleia!
You'll do as you're told.
How dare you lay your hands on me! I shall see the Queen! Out of my way, slave!
[Dalios raises his hand and the guard hits him with his trident. Dalios falls and the guard locks the door again]
Dalios! Dalios!
Who would have thought it. My sweet queen.
Is the Master responsible for this?
Aye, but tis no matter. Come closer.
What is it?
There's so little time. So little. I tell you the vision of a dying man. Atlantis was doomed. You are a true philosopher. The world must be, must be saved. And you are the one to do it. The only one. Who'd have thought it? My lovely Galleia. [dies in Jo's lap]
Dalios! We won't fail you, Dalios.
Right, stand still, everyone! Er, where's the Master?
A very good question, Brigadier.
Doctor, glad to see you're back. Miss Grant, what on Earth are you doing in that extraordinary get-up? And where, for heaven's sake, is Sergeant Benton!?
[to Ruth] The Baby! We forgot the Baby!
[stands up, no longer a baby, but still undressed] Would somebody please mind telling me exactly what's happening around here?
[everyone laughs]
Is there anything I can do?
Yes, pass me a silicon rod. [Stirs cup of tea with it]
I meant is there anything UNIT can do about this space lightning business?
I can manage now, thank you.
I'm delighted to hear it. Make yourself at home. We're only supposed to be a top secret security establishment(!) Liberty Hall, Dr. Tyler. Liberty Hall!
Jo, it's all quite simple - I am he and he is me!
And we are all together, coo coo cachoo?
What?
It's a song by The Beatles.
Really? How does it go? [Brings recorder to his lips]
Oh, please be quiet!
[As he appears on the TARDIS's television screen] Ah, there you are! I seem to be stuck up here. [He examines the Second and Third Doctors.] So you're my replacements. [They smile at him.] Humph. A dandy and a clown. [They appear insulted.] Have you done anything?
Uh, well we've assessed the situation-
Just as I thought! [Chuckles] Nothing.
Well it's not easy you know.
It's not as if we know what that stuff is.
No.
Then I'll tell you. It's a time bridge.
It's a what?
I see!
Now what's a bridge for, eh?
Well. Um.
Crossing?
Right! So now dilly-dallying and cross it.
No! No wait!
You faded him again!
I did not fade him. You saw him!
Yes, you certainly did.
I hate to ask, but who was that?
Me [The Doctors look at each other] Me!
At the moment, they're far from being all powerful. That's why it's been left up to me and me and me!
Keep it confused, feed it with useless information. I wonder if I have a television set here somewhere.
I've explained all that. You're his assistant.
His WHAT??
But I've just set this up! I've got to confuse it!
