• Tegan Jovanka : You could go back!

  [the Doctor looks up from the console at her, shocked by the outlandish suggestion tempered with an understanding of why] 

  Nyssa : Could you?

  The Doctor : [firmly]  No.

  Nyssa : Surely the TARDIS is quite capable of...

  Tegan Jovanka : We can change what happened if we materialise before Adric was killed!

  The Doctor : And change your own history?

  Tegan Jovanka : Look, the freighter could still crash into Earth, that doesn't have to be changed. Only Adric doesn't have to be on board.

  The Doctor : [angrily]  Now listen to me, both of you: there are some rules that cannot be broken, even with the TARDIS!

  Nyssa : Doctor...

  The Doctor : Don't *ever* ask me to do *anything* like that again! You must accept that Adric is dead. His life wasn't wasted, he- he died trying to save others, just like his brother, Varsh.

• Tegan Jovanka : That's not Hyde Park. That's Heathrow Airport!

  The Doctor : You're right.

  Tegan Jovanka : Well, I never thought I'd say this, but let's get out of here: We could be in the path of an oncoming aircraft.

• Andrews : [standing near the TARDIS in the midst of Terminal One]  Are you responsible for this box, sir?

  The Doctor : Well... I try to be.

  Nyssa : Doctor, you've done it again.

• The Doctor : I might be able to help.

  Tegan Jovanka : That's what worries me.

• Sheard : Are you saying you know where the missing aircraft is?

  The Doctor : I suspect it's not a question of where but, uh, when.

• Captain Stapley : You seriously believe that Victor Foxtrot got caught in some sort of time-slip?

  The Doctor : It would seem to be the logical explanation.

  Captain Stapley : That's pretty rum idea to me.

• The Doctor : [regarding the cargo hold of the airplane]  It's amazing.

  Nyssa : What?

  The Doctor : This thing's smaller on the inside than it is on the outside.

• The Doctor : Behind every illusion there's a conjurer. In this case I shouldn't think he went to all this trouble for our entertainment.

• The Doctor : Definitely Jurassic. There's a nip in the air, though... we can't be far off the Pleistocene Era.

  Tegan Jovanka : The ice age?

  The Doctor : It's times like this I wish I still had my scarf.
