Quotes 

• The Doctor : This doesn't roll along on wheels, you know.

  Barbara Wright : You mean, it moves?

  Susan Foreman : The TARDIS can go anywhere.

  Barbara Wright : TARDIS? I don't understand you, Susan.

  Susan Foreman : Well, I made up the name TARDIS from the intials: Time And Relative Dimension In Space. I had thought you'd both understand when you saw the different dimensions inside from those outside.

• Ian Chesterton : Let me get this straight. A thing that looks like a police box, standing in a junkyard, it can move anywhere in time and space?

  Susan Foreman : Yes.

  The Doctor : Quite so.

  Ian Chesterton : But that's ridiculous!

• Susan Foreman : Is that the book you promised me?

  Barbara Wright : Yes.

  Susan Foreman : [Barbara lends Susan the book on the French Revolution]  Thank you very much. It will be interesting. I'll return it tomorrow.

  Barbara Wright : Oh, that's not necessary. Keep it until you've finished it.

  Susan Foreman : I'll have finished it.

• Ian Chesterton : But that's ridiculous.

  Susan Foreman : Why won't they believe us?

  Barbara Wright : How can we?

  The Doctor : Now, now, don't get exasperated, Susan. Remember the Red Indian. When he saw the first steam train, his savage mind thought it an illusion, too.

  Ian Chesterton : You're treating us like children.

  The Doctor : Am I? The children of my civilisation would be insulted.
