Doctor Who quotes

Tegan

Hello?

You, my dear, can't possibly exist, so go away.

Why are Earth people so parochial?

Is he a primitive?

I assure you sir, there is nothing primitive about me.

So much pride in something so stupid!

Tegan

If anything he's saved us a long walk!

I like long walks!

Adric

So what is a railway station?

Well, a place where one embarks and disembarks from compartments on wheels drawn along these tracks by a steam engine; rarely on time.

Nyssa

What a very silly activity.

D'You think so? As a boy, I always wanted to drive one.

Superb innings! Worthy of the Master.

[alarmed] The Master?

Well, the other Doctor! [The Doctor still looks alarmed] W.G. Grace!

[relieved] Yes, of course!

And besides —

Besides what?

Well, it wouldn't be cricket.

When did you last have the pleasure of smelling a flower, watching a sunset, eating a well-prepared meal?

These things are irrelevant.

For some people, small, beautiful events are what life is all about!

Tegan

I'm just a mouth on legs.

Do you really want to go home?

Adric

No, of course not. There's nothing there for me anymore.

[mock annoyance] So you did all these calculations for nothing!

Adric

Now I'll never know if I was right.

[about the Concorde ] It's amazing.

Nyssa

What?

This thing is smaller on the inside than it is on the outside.

It's times like this I wish I still had my scarf.

The illusion is always one of normality.

You know how it is; you put things off for a day and next thing you know, it's a hundred years later.
