Quotes 

• Steven : It's all right. I know her too.

  Station Sergeant : Aye. You seem to know all the queer people. Well, who is she?

• [first lines] 

  Sara : Something's gone wrong.

  Dr. Who : What's the matter, my dear, hm?

  Sara : It's stopped going up and down.

  Steven : That's alright, it means we've landed.

  Dr. Who : Tut, tut, tut. Dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, yes that scanner's not working.

  Sara : Can you mend it?

  Dr. Who : Yes I can repair it, of course, which means checking the whole circuit.

  Steven : Right let's get started.

  Dr. Who : Ah, ah, ah. Don't you dare touch anything.

  Steven : Why not?

  Dr. Who : Well, just look at those dials my dear boy! Sara. look at those dials, now you know what that means? If either of you went outside, it would be extremely dangerous. The whole atmosphere is poisonous.

• Steven : And just why, if it isn't safe for us, is it safe for you?

  Dr. Who : Will neither of you understand?

  Sara : For heaven's sake, let's go and fix the scanner!

  Dr. Who : No! Where you come from, in both places, the air is pure. Outside there is the worst kind of pollution I've met in years!

  Steven : Right. Then you shouldn't go out there, either.

  Dr. Who : Ah, my dear boy, I'm used to all sorts of atmospheres. Won't affect me. I shall have to go out and do the repairing myself.

  Sara : But suppose something happens to you?

  Dr. Who : Then, and only then, can you come out. But you must be very, very careful...

  Steven : And how are we supposed to know that something has happened to you?

  Dr. Who : My dear young man, just give me a few minutes and, if all is well, I shall be back inside again to tell you.

  Steven : And if not, we come out and find you? I seem to have been through all this before!

  Dr. Who : Now, look here my boy. You will do as you're told! Now you just open the doors and remember to close them after I've gone.

  Steven : Yes, sir!
