You mean you still practice teleportation? How quaint! Now, if you got yourself a decent forklift truck...

The Doctor, in "The Brain of Morbius"

Death is the price we pay for progress, you know.

The Doctor, in "The Brain of Morbius"

I know the Time Lords -- pallid, tedious worms!

Morbius, in "The Brain of Morbius"

"And what is your bureau doing about bonsai?"

"Bonsai, Mr Chase?"

"Mutilation and torture, Mr Dunbar. The hideous, grotesque Japanese practice of miniaturizing shrubs and trees. What is your bureau doing about that?"

Harrison Chase and Dunbar, in "The Seeds of Doom"

You are concerned about the fate of the blue whale and the natterjack toad, yet the obvious, most defenceless part of creation, the kingdom of plant life, receives no protection at all.

Harrison Chase, in "The Seeds of Doom"

"You must be the Doctor. We were expecting someone much older."

"I'm only 749. Used to be even younger."

Moberly and the Doctor, in "The Seeds of Doom"

"Are you OK, dressed like that? You don't seem to notice the cold."

"I haven't come ten thousand miles to discuss the weather, Mr Moberly."

Moberly and the Doctor, in "The Seeds of Doom"

It's more serious than death, Mr Stevenson. He's changing form.

The Doctor, in "The Seeds of Doom"

"They travel in pairs, like policemen."

"Well, what are we going to do with it? Buy it a truncheon?"

The Doctor and Sarah, in "The Seeds of Doom"

"You're going well outside the law, Mr Chase."

"I understand policemen are few and far between in the Antarctic."

Dunbar and Chase, in "The Seeds of Doom"

You know, Doctor, I could play all day in my green cathedral.

Harrison Chase, in "The Seeds of Doom"

"You're working for a madman, Scorby; you know that?"

"He pays well. And when it comes to money, Mr Chase and I are of the same religion."

"Franklin Adams, 1881-1960. American humorist."

"The quotes are over, Doctor!"

The Doctor and Scorby, in "The Seeds of Doom"

"Boot cupboard? But it's enormous!"

"Oh, I've seen bigger boot cupboards."

Sarah and the Doctor, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

"There are no measurements in infinity. You humans have got such limited little minds; I don't know why I like you so much."

"Because you have such good taste."

The Doctor and Sarah, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

"There's this man in Florence claims that by arranging ground glasses in a certain order, it's possible to see the moon and stars as large as your hand."

"Is that a good thing?"

Duke Juliano and Marco, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

"Exactly as it was foretold -- a maiden fair of face and sturdy of body."

"You can forget the flattery; what do you lot want?"

The high priest and Sarah, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

I warn you, Rossini -- fail me, and you will breakfast on burning coals.

Count Federico, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

"Oh, stop being so silly."

"Remember the French at Agincourt."

"But they lost!"

Sarah and the Doctor, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

You know, the worse the situation the worse your jokes get.

Sarah, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

A Time Lord has to do what a Time Lord has to do.

The Doctor, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

"Is it dangerous?"

"Well, only if I guessed wrong, and then it's fatal."

Sarah and the Doctor, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

"Therefore, if I've guessed correctly about the nature of helix energy, I should be able to drain it off."

"But what if you've guessed wrong?"

"When did I ever guess wrong about anything?"

"Lots of times."

The Doctor and Sarah, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

Had a hard day in the catacombs, have we?

The Doctor, in "The Masque of Mandragora"

Vaporisation without representation is against the constitution!

The Doctor, in "The Deadly Assassin"

Chancellor, all presidents are faced with difficult decisions. It is by their decisions that they are judged.

Cardinal Borusa, in "The Deadly Assassin"

If heroes don't exist, it is necessary to invent them; good for public morale.

Cardinal Borusa, in "The Deadly Assassin"

Later, Castellan, we must take another look at data security.

Cardinal Borusa, in "The Deadly Assassin"

"Only in mathematics will we find truth." ... Borusa used to say that during my time at the Academy, and now he's setting out to prove it.

The Doctor, in "The Deadly Assassin"

As I believe I told you long ago, Doctor, you will never amount to anything in the galaxy while you retain your propensity for vulgar facetiousness.

Cardinal Borusa, in "The Deadly Assassin"

Beware the devious Calib. One day he'll get so cunning even he won't know what he's planning.

Leela, in "The Face of Evil"

"The Evil One!"

"Well, nobody's perfect, but that's overstating it a little."

Leela and the Doctor, in "The Face of Evil"

"Would you like a jelly baby?"

"It is true, then; the Evil One eats babies!"

The Doctor and Leela, in "The Face of Evil"

"I don't know what to believe any more."

"Well, that sounds healthy, anyway. Never be certain of anything; it's a sign of weakness."

Leela and the Doctor, in "The Face of Evil"

I'm the Doctor. Who are you and why are you shooting at me?

The Doctor, in "The Face of Evil"

You can't expect perfection, not even from me.

The Doctor, in "The Face of Evil"

"You know, I had a feeling that Niever was actually expecting to hear an answer to his prayer."

"There wouldn't be much point in praying if you didn't."

"I could quote you a few theologians who'd give you an argument on that."

The Doctor and Leela, in "The Face of Evil"

You know the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

The Doctor, in "The Face of Evil"

"Do you know what that is?"

"It is a laserson probe. It can puncture fist-sized holes in six-inch armor plate, or take the crystals from a snowflake, one by one."

"Yes, that's right. No handyman should be without one."

The Doctor and D.84, in "The Robots of Death"

Please do not throw hands at me.

D.84, in "The Robots of Death"

"Robots can't harm humans; it's the first principle."

"The second principle is that humans can't harm robots. I know, I've tried and they don't bleed."

Toos and Leela, in "The Robots of Death"

"I see, you're one of those boring maniacs who's going to gloat, hm? You going to tell me your plan for running the universe?"

"Oh no, Doctor. I'm going to burn out your brain, very slowly."

The Doctor and Dask, in "The Robots of Death"

"Doctor, why didn't the helium make your voice go squeaky?"

"Because I'm a Time Lord. I've been around, you know."

Leela and the Doctor, in "The Robots of Death"

"This is a big village."

"Yes."

"What's the name of the tribe here?"

"Cockneys."

Leela and the Doctor in London, in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"

"Good evening, sir. Do you know this young female, sir?"

"Oh, yes, yes. We were attacked by this little man and four other little men."

"When I got here, sir, he was being strangled with his own pigtail."

"Really? Girlish enthusiasm, officer?"

A police officer and the Doctor, in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"

"Flickering shadows, Casey. Trick of the light."

"Shadows don't groan, Mr Jago. Shadows don't clank chains and moan like all the demented souls in hell."

Jago and Casey, in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"

"Forgive us, ma'am."

"For what?"

"For being so indelicate in the presence of a lady of refinement."

"Does he mean me?"

Litefoot and Leela, in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"

Sleep is for tortoises.

The Doctor, in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"

Elementary, my dear Litefoot.

The Doctor, in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"

Soon I shall join my ancestors. Already I can see them. They walk to greet me from the palace of jade. They are smiling, and carry gifts of fruit and flowers. Now I cross the golden bridge of the gods.

Li H'sen Chang's last words, in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"

"Eureka" is Greek for "This bath is too hot".

The Doctor, in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"

"And then, for example, I would say, 'One lump or two, Miss Leela?' To which you reply 'One will suffice, thank you.' Now do you follow?"

"Supposing I want two?"

"Oh no no no; one lump for ladies."

"Then why do you ask me?"

Litefoot and Leela, in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"

Enjoy your death as I enjoyed killing you.

Leela to the Rutan, in "Horror of Fang Rock"

"Aye, though we hunted high and low, and hunted everywhere, of the three men's fate we found no trace, in any time, in any place, but a door ajar, and an untouched meal, and an over-tottled chair."

The Doctor quotes Wilfred Gibson, in "Horror of Fang Rock"

That's the trouble with computers, always think in black and white. No aquamarines, no blues, no imagination.

The Doctor, in "The Invisible Enemy"

Sometimes, my brilliance astonishes even me.

The Doctor, in "The Invisible Enemy"

"That's your answer to everything -- knock it on the head."

"Effective, isn't it? Smash it once and for all?"

The Doctor and Leela, in "The Invisible Enemy"

"Shall we try using our intelligence?"

"Well, if you think that's a good idea."

The Doctor and Leela, in "The Invisible Enemy"

Your ancestors have a talent for self-destruction that borders on genius.

The Doctor, in "Image of the Fendahl"

"There's a corpse by the wood."

"What sort of corpse?"

"A dead one; what other sort is there?"

Colby and Fendelman, in "Image of the Fendahl"

"By the look of him, he didn't die easily."

"It is never easy to die."

Colby and Max, in "Image of the Fendahl"

Good morning, ladies. Now which one of you has the time scanner?

The Doctor, to a group of cows, in "Image of the Fendahl"

"You've both escaped from somewhere, haven't you?"

"Frequently."

The verger and the Doctor, in "Image of the Fendahl"

"How do 'e know so much?"

"I read a lot."

Mrs Tyler and the Doctor, in "Image of the Fendahl"

The fifth planet is 107 million miles out and 12 million years back, so we've no time to lose.

The Doctor, in "Image of the Fendahl"

It's a good thing your tribe never developed guns; they'd have woken with a start one morning and wiped themselves out.

The Doctor, to Leela, in "Image of the Fendahl"

The Time Lords are a very meticulous people; you have to be when you live as long as we do.

The Doctor, in "Image of the Fendahl"

"That would explain the dark side of man's nature, but it's just a theory."

"A pretty wild one."

"It's more fun that way."

The Doctor and Colby, in "Image of the Fendahl"

"There was even a picture of a tree, a fine thing."

"Simply a primitive way of producing oxygen. Thank the Company, we have no need of trees on Pluto."

Citizen Cordo and the Gatherer, in "The Sunmakers"

He can't make ends meet -- probably too many economists in the government.

The Doctor, in "The Sunmakers"

"These 'taxes', they are like sacrifices to tribal gods?"

"Well, roughly speaking, but paying taxes is more painful."

Leela and the Doctor, in "The Sunmakers"

This is the moment when I get a real sense of job satisfaction.

The Collector, at Leela's execution, in "The Sunmakers"

Grinding oppression of the masses is the only policy that pays dividends.

The Collector, in "The Sunmakers"

"Have you ever heard of the Flying Dutchman?"

"No."

"Pity; I've often wanted to know who he was."

The Doctor and Leela, in "Underworld"

Prognostication impossible in matters concerning the Doctor.

K9, in "The Invasion of Time"

It's always a matter of time, eh Castellan? Especially for Time Lords...

The Doctor, in "The Invasion of Time"

Cerebral circuits in order. Physiognomy dubious.
