"The great civil war... only the army survived."
"Well, that sounds like a well-organized war."
Seth and Romana, in "The Horns of Nimon"
"You've got the century wrong, you've got the season wrong, and you've got K9's seawater defences wrong!"
"Well, I can't get everything right."
"Just something would be a help."
Romana and the Doctor, in "The Leisure Hive"
One must always accept the unexpected.
The Doctor, in "The Leisure Hive"
"His scarf killed Stimson!"
"Arrest the scarf, then."
The authorities and the Doctor, in "The Leisure Hive"
Evidence? You couldn't hang a hat on that.
The Doctor, in "The Leisure Hive"
Some galactic hobo with ideas above his station... the cosmos is full of them.
The Doctor describes the Black Guardian, in "The Leisure Hive"
First things first, but not necessarily in that order.
The Doctor, in "Meglos"
"A little patience goes a long way."
"Yes. Too much patience goes absolutely nowhere."
Login and the Doctor, in "Full Circle"
"The marsh creatures are mindless brutes... animals!"
"Yes, easy enough to destroy. Have you ever tried creating one?"
The Decider and the Doctor, in "Full Circle"
We're all basically primeval slime with ideas above its station.
The Doctor, in "Full Circle"
The green button, gentlemen!
The Doctor, in "Full Circle"
"They asked me to stay on, you know -- be a Decider."
"You, a Decider?"
"Yes. I decided not to."
The Doctor and Romana, in "Full Circle"
Knowing's easy; everyone does that ad nauseam. I just sort of hope.
The Doctor, in "State of Decay"
"Funny about the windows?"
"What windows?"
"Yes..."
The Doctor and Romana, in "State of Decay"
"No, I'd say a sociopathetic abscess."
"Oh, I wish I'd said that."
Romana and the Doctor, in "State of Decay"
You can compile a reverse transition from existing data -- you love doing that.
The Doctor, to K9, in "State of Decay"
"Well, Doctor?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
Romana and the Doctor, in "State of Decay"
Probability computed at 0.00057, Mistress. There is a .567 error correction to that estimate. Error in error-correction estimate estimated at 0.375.
K9, in "Warrior's Gate"
He's mad. The backblast backlash'll bounce back and destroy everything!
Romana, in "Warrior's Gate"
You were the noblest Romana of them all.
The Doctor echoes Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, in "Warrior's Gate"
Nothing ... well, that's something.
The Doctor, in "Warrior's Gate"
One solid hope's worth a cartload of certainties.
The Doctor, in "Warrior's Gate"
"Will Romana be all right?"
"All right? She'll be superb."
Adric and the Doctor, in "Warrior's Gate"
"Adric, I give you a privileged insight into the mystery of time, yes?"
"Yes..."
"Open your mind to adventures beyond imagining, yes?"
"Yes..."
"And you criticize my logic!"
The Doctor and Adric, in "The Keeper of Traken"
"No, I'm just saying that a lot of the time you don't really make sense."
"Ah. Oh, you've noticed that, have you?"
Adric and the Doctor, in "The Keeper of Traken"
"Traken Union, famous for its harmony. A whole empire held together by... by people being terribly nice to each other."
"Well, that makes a change."
The Doctor and Adric, in "The Keeper of Traken"
If I knew everything that was about to happen, where would the fun be?
The Doctor, in "The Keeper of Traken"
Time reveals everything.
The Doctor, in "The Keeper of Traken"
"As you can see, the passing ages have taken toll of me."
"Yes. Yes, I know that feeling."
The Keeper and the Doctor, in "The Keeper of Traken"
They say the atmosphere there was so full of goodness that evil just shrivelled up and died. Maybe that's why I never went there.
The Doctor, in "The Keeper of Traken"
They did say I have a terribly sophisticated prose style.
The Doctor, in "The Keeper of Traken"
Magnificent. It's a pity about that poor chap having to sit for thousands of years in a chair, but it is magnificent.
The Doctor, in "The Keeper of Traken"
"Still, what can't be cured must be endured."
"That's the silliest thing you've said yet."
"Then don't listen to me. I never do.
The Doctor and Adric, in "The Keeper of Traken"
I used to know an ancient remedy for mad dogs. I must look it up sometime. Good library here, have you?
The Doctor in the Master's TARDIS, in "The Keeper of Traken"
Still, the future lies this way.
The Doctor, in "Logopolis"
"Intone the computations? Why?"
"I've wondered that myself. Never had the nerve to ask them."
Adric and the Doctor, in "Logopolis"
"Are you sure?"
"This is life; nothing's sure."
Adric and the Doctor, in "Logopolis"
He's a Time Lord! In many ways we have the same mind.
The Doctor, on the Master, in "Logopolis"
Fold back the omega configuration.
The Doctor, in "Logopolis"
Never guess, unless you have to; there's enough uncertainty in the universe as it is.
The Doctor, in "Logopolis"
"Perhaps you would like to see more of Logopolis."
"I'd prefer to see a lot less of it."
The Monitor and Tegan, in "Logopolis"
"How do we get him out of there?"
"Thought and computation."
Tegan and the Monitor, in "Logopolis"
Our manipulation of numbers directly changes the physical world. There is no other mathematics like ours.
The Monitor, in "Logopolis"
The cheeseboard is the world, and the pieces the phenomena of the universe, as my old friend Huxley used to say. <pause> Cheeseboard?
The Doctor, in "Logopolis"
Logopolis is a cold place, a cold high place overlooking the universe.
The Master, in "Logopolis"
"If we do cooperate, there'll be no question of your ever returning to Gallifrey."
"If we don't cooperate, there'll be no question of Gallifrey."
The Master and the Doctor, in "Logopolis"
"I envy you your TARDIS, Master."
"Excellent, Doctor; envy is the beginning of all true greatness."
The Doctor and the Master, in "Logopolis"
"Woolly thinking, Doctor."
"Yes, very comforting when worn next to the skin."
The Master and the Doctor, in "Logopolis"
"The Doctor calls it a reiterated invitation to deep-space alien intelligences."
"And that's us!"
Adric and Nyssa, in "Logopolis"
It is the end... but the moment has been prepared for.
The Doctor's final words, in "Logopolis"
I wonder, boy, what would you do if you were me, hm? Or perhaps I should ask, what would I do if I were me?
The Doctor, in "Castrovalva"
How do we find the index file? Of course, if we had an index file, we could look it up in the index file under "index file".
Tegan, in "Castrovalva"
That's the trouble with regeneration. You never quite know what you're going to get.
The Doctor, in "Castrovalva"
<reading label> "The solution." Oh, my little friend, if only you were...
The Doctor, in "Castrovalva"
"He says he doesn't know who he is or why he has come."
"Well, I admire a man with an open mind."
Ruther and Shardovan, in "Castrovalva"
"One... two..."
"Three, sir."
"What?"
"Three, sir, it's what comes after two."
"Do you know, that's exactly what I thought?"
"And then four, and then five, and then six, and then seven---"
"Stop, please! You're making me dizzy!"
The Doctor and a young girl, in "Castrovalva"
Which is the quickest way out of here? <the women all point in different directions> Yes, well, that's democracy for you.
The Doctor, in "Castrovalva"
You know, I'm very fond of history, but I don't get much time for reading.
The Doctor, in "Castrovalva"
It's on the tip of my mind.
The Doctor, in "Castrovalva"
Say something, please! "Yes" would be best.
The Doctor, in "Castrovalva"
You made us, man of evil, but we are free!
Shardovan, to the Master, in "Castrovalva"
Oh, he's always in trouble, Tegan, hadn't you noticed? It amuses him...
Adric, about the Doctor, in "Four to Doomsday"
"A doctor? Of what?"
"Everything."
"How modest."
Enlightenment, the Doctor and Persuasion, in "Four to Doomsday"
"You're very kind."
"I am merely civilized."
The Doctor and Monarch, in "Four to Doomsday"
"How barbaric!"
"Yes, a lot of it about."
Enlightenment and the Doctor, in "Four to Doomsday"
"You possess an energy you do not understand?"
"Yes, silly, isn't it? Only my professor at the Academy seemed to understand it.
Monarch and the Doctor, in "Four to Doomsday"
"You grasp the theory of relativity?"
"Doesn't everyone?"
Monarch and Adric, in "Four to Doomsday"
Could anyone pass the sodium chloride, please?
Adric, in "Four to Doomsday"
Such a being prefers mental anarchy. They call it freedom.
Enlightenment, in "Four to Doomsday"
"Love?"
"The exchange of two fantasies, your Majesty."
Monarch and Enlightenment, in "Four to Doomsday"
An apple a day keeps the... ah, no, never mind.
The Doctor, in "Kinda"
I never think twice about anything; takes too much time.
Sanders, in "Kinda"
"What do we say if the door is opened?"
"'Hello'?"
Richard Mace and Adric, in "The Visitation"
Why are Earth people so parochial?
The Doctor, in "The Visitation"
"You're being a very stupid woman."
"That isn't a very original observation."
A Terileptil and Tegan, in "The Visitation"
Call yourself a Time Lord! A broken clock keeps better time than you do; at least it's accurate twice a day, which is more than you ever are!
Tegan, to the Doctor, in "The Visitation"
"How do you feel now?"
"Groggy, sore, and bad-tempered."
"Oh. Almost your old self."
The Doctor and Tegan, in "The Visitation"
I said "empathise", not "be silly".
Nyssa, in "The Visitation"
"Why didn't you say that's what you were looking for?"
"Because I wasn't looking for it until I found it."
Tegan and the Doctor, in "The Visitation"
E-space is another universe; there isn't a taxi service goes back and forth.
The Doctor, in "Earthshock"
I'm going outside now; I might be gone some time.
The Doctor, in "Earthshock"
I'm just a mouth on legs.
Tegan, in "Earthshock"
"I think Mr Ringway is recovering."
"Pity. I've just composed a particularly nasty epitaph for him."
Adric and Briggs, in "Earthshock"
"That could take forever."
"Then I suggest we start at once."
Berger and Adric, in "Earthshock"
Now I'll never know if I was right.
Adric's last words, in "Earthshock"
You know how it is; you put things off for a day and before you know it it's a hundred years later.
The Doctor, in "Arc of Infinity"
"I have my orders."
"You don't have to relish them so much."
Maxil and the Doctor, in "Arc of Infinity"
Our duty, if not our conscience, is clear.
President Borusa, in "Arc of Infinity"
"What would you say if I told you I was looking for my TARDIS?"
"Very little."
The Doctor and the amnesiac Brigadier, in "Mawdryn Undead"
I hate transmats. Like travelling in a food mixer and just as dangerous.
Tegan, in "Mawdryn Undead"
After all, if I was suffering from amnesia I'd be the first to know about it, shouldn't I?
The Brigadier, in "Mawdryn Undead"
I've lost my TARDIS, you've lost your memory; I'd be surprised if the two events weren't related.
The Doctor, in "Mawdryn Undead"
Oh, I know how many beans make five, Doctor. You don't have to be a Time Lord to cope with A-level maths.
The Brigadier, in "Mawdryn Undead"
"What's past is --"
"-- is very much in the present. Brigadier, you never did understand the interrelation of time."
The Brigadier and the Doctor, in "Mawdryn Undead"
A burden shared is a ... something or other.
Bor, in "Terminus"
It's controlled by the computer, and the computer's uncontrollable.
The Doctor, in "Terminus"
You represent a poor investment of my time and energy.
The Black Guardian, to Turlough, in "Terminus"
"It'll be good to see the TARDIS again."
"And Tegan!"
"Yes, well..."
The Doctor and Tegan, in "Terminus"
"I don't understand it."
"He never does."
The Doctor and Turlough, in "Enlightenment"
"What if the White Guardian tells me something important?"
"Thank him politely."
The Doctor and Tegan, in "Enlightenment"
You are a Time Lord, a lord of time. Are there lords in such a small domain?
Captain Striker, in "Enlightenment"
"Enlightenment?"
"The wisdom which knows all things and which will enable me to achieve what I desire most. Do not ask what it is; I will not tell you."
The Doctor and Captain Striker, in "Enlightenment"
"Your companion is a very beautiful woman."
"Is she?"
"The confusion in her mind is exhilarating."
Marriner and the Doctor, in "Enlightenment"
"Are you trying to tell me you're in love?"
"Love? What is 'love'? I want existence."
Tegan and Marriner, in "Enlightenment"
Enlightenment brings whatever one desires. I desire to be amused.
Captain Wrack, in "Enlightenment"
"Will the TARDIS still function? The console blew up!"
"Oh, probably did it the world of good."
Tegan and the Doctor, in "Enlightenment"
