Quotes 

  • Time Lord : Ah. Welcome Doctor.

    The Doctor : What's going on? Don't you realise how dangerous it is to intercept a transmat beam?

    Time Lord : Oh, come Doctor, not with our techniques. We Time Lords transcended such simple mechanical devices when the universe was less than half its present size.

    The Doctor : Look, whatever I've done for you in the past, I've more than made up for. I will not tolerate this continual interference in my life.

    Time Lord : Continual? We pride ourselves we seldom interfere in the affairs of others.

    The Doctor : Except mine.

    Time Lord : You, Doctor, are a special case. You enjoy the freedom we allow you. In return, occasionally, not continually, we ask you to do something for us.

    The Doctor : I won't do it. Whatever it is, I refuse.

    Time Lord : Daleks.

    The Doctor : Daleks? Tell me more.

    Time Lord : We foresee a time when they will have destroyed all other lifeforms and become the dominant creature in the universe.

    The Doctor : That's possible. Tell on.

    Time Lord : We'd like you to return to Skaro at a point in time before the Daleks evolved.

    The Doctor : Do you mean avert their creation?

    Time Lord : Or affect their genetic development so that they evolve into less aggressive creatures.

    The Doctor : Hmm. That's feasible.

    Time Lord : Alternatively, if you learn enough about their very beginnings, you might discover some inherent weakness.

    The Doctor : All right, just one more time.

    Time Lord : You'll do it?

    The Doctor : Yes. If you'll let me have the space time coordinates, I'll set the Tardis for Skaro.

    Time Lord : There's no need for that, Doctor.

    The Doctor : Hmm?

    Time Lord : You're here. This is Skaro.

  • The Doctor : Come along.

    Harry Sullivan : We are we going?

    The Doctor : Uh... forward.

  • Kaled Leader : Two prisoners, sir, captured section 101.

    Ravon : For interrogation. Good. I enjoy interrogation.

    The Doctor : Yes, you look the type.

    [a guard hits the Doctor] 

    Ravon : You insolent muto!

  • Ravon : Take a good look. In a few weeks we're going to change the shape of that map forever. We'll wipe the Thals from the face of Skaro.

    The Doctor : Yes, I've heard that before.

  • The Doctor : We're in the middle of a minefield. Follow me and tread in my footsteps.

    Sarah Jane Smith : Good King Wenceslas.

  • Ravon : Turn out your pockets!

    The Doctor : Certainly.

    [he starts emptying his pockets, putting numerous items on the table including his sonic screwdriver, a magnifying glass, a yo-yo, a bag of jelly babies, handcuffs and more] 

    The Doctor : It might take some time.

  • The Doctor : My friend and I are not from your planet.

    Nyder : Aliens?

    Harry Sullivan : Humans. Er, well, I am, anyway.

    Nyder : I've heard Davros say there is no intelligent life on other planets. So either he is wrong or you are lying.

    The Doctor : We are not lying.

    Nyder : And Davros is never wrong about anything.

    The Doctor : Then he must be exceptional. Even I am occasionally wrong about some things. Who is this Davros?

    Nyder : Our greatest scientist. He's in charge of all research at the bunker.

  • The Doctor : Tell me, what exactly are mutos?

    Nyder : Mutos are the scarred relics of ourselves. Monsters created by the chemical weapons used in the first century of this war. They were banished into the wastelands where they live and scavenge like animals.

    The Doctor : In other words, genetically wounded.

    Nyder : We must keep the Kaled race pure. Imperfects are rejected. Some of them survive out there.

    The Doctor : That's a very harsh policy.

    Harry Sullivan : It's horrible.

    Nyder : Your views are not important.

  • Ravon : [ranting loudly]  When victory is ours, we'll wipe every trace of the Thals and their city from the face of this land! We will avenge the deaths of all Kaleds who've fallen in the cause of right and justice, and build a peace which will be a monument to their sacrifice. Our battle cry will be "Total extermination of the Thals"!

    The Doctor : That's very impressive.

  • The Doctor : Even the dead have a part to play. Propped up to make the trenches appear fully manned.
