Doctor Who · Season 13
When I left that psionic beam with you, Brigadier, I said that it was only to be used in an emergency!
This is an emergency!
Oil? An emergency? Ha! It's about time the people who run this planet of yours realised that to be dependent on a mineral slime just doesn't make sense.
Corporal?
Sir?
I'm still waiting for that liaison report. You're still in touch with the Coastguards?
Sir.
Right. I want a twenty four hour watch kept on every inch of this coastline.
Sir.
If the Doctor's right, if there is some sort of sea monster out there attacking the rigs, we've got to be ready for anything.
Sir.
It could decide to come inland.
Sir.
Can't you say anything else but sir?
Sorry, sir.
You can't rule the world in hiding. You've got to come out on the balcony sometimes and wave a tentacle.
[As the spaceship rocks with a large explosion.]
Sounds like the Brigadier.
You admire our technology, human?
Well, I'm not human; and I've seen better.
What's gone wrong this time?
Nothing. Nothing at all. What makes you think something's gone wrong?
Because you always get rude when you're trying to cover up a mistake.
Nothing of consequence. Slight overshoot, easily rectified.
Come on, where are we?
We've come out of the time vortex at the wrong point, that's all. A few years too late.
How many?
...30,000.
Have you checked the transmitters down there?
Yes, but any signal would have been monitored by our receivers.
Perhaps my receivers are better than yours.
[shoves the Doctor] Shut up!
My manners certainly are.
Here on Zeta Minor is the boundary between existence as you know it and the other universe which you just don't understand. From the beginning of time it has existed side by side with the known universe. Each is the antithesis of the other. You call it "nothing", a word to cover ignorance. And centuries ago scientists invented another word for it. "Antimatter", they called it. And you, by coming here, have crossed the boundary into that other universe to plunder it. Dangerous.
You and I are scientists, professor. We purchase the right to experiment at the cost of total responsibility.
Come on, Sarah. We've an appointment in London and we're already 30,000 years late.
What's the matter? You should be glad to be going home!
The Earth isn't my home, Sarah. I'm a Time Lord.
Oh, I know you're a Time Lord.
You don't understand the implications. I'm not a human being; I walk in eternity...
What's that supposed to mean?
It means I've lived for something like 750 years.
All right, so you're middle-aged!
Yes! About time I found something to do than run around after the Brigadier!
Something's going on contrary to the laws of the universe. I must find out what!
[The Doctor is attempting to open a lock.]
French pick-lock? Never fails. Belonged to Marie Antoinette, charming lady. Lost her head, poor thing...
[The Doctor and Sarah have landed in the location of UNIT headquarters, but in an earlier time period.]
Of course this would be a perfect headquarters for some paramilitary organization. This room could easily be turned into a laboratory.
Something's interfering with time, Mr. Scarman. And time is my business.
