Episode Quotes |
| |
The Doctor: Look, I'm sure there are plenty of Time Lords who would...
The Guardian: I have chosen you.
The Doctor: Yes, I was afraid you would say something like that. Ah, you want me to volunteer. Isn't that it?
The Guardian: Precisely.
The Doctor: And if I don't.
The Guardian: Nothing.
The Doctor: Nothing? You mean nothing will happen to me?
The Guardian: Nothing at all. Ever.
| Romana: My name is Romanadvoratrelundar.
The Doctor: I'm so sorry about that. Is there anything we can do?
| Romana: Very exciting, isn't it.
The Doctor: Yes, I suppose it must be, for someone as young and inexperienced as you are.
Romana: I may be inexperienced, but I did graduate from the Academy with a triple first.
The Doctor: I suppose you think we should be impressed by that too?
Romana: Well, It's better than scraping through with 51% at the second attempt.
The Doctor: That information is confidential! That President! I should have thrown him to the Sontarans when I had the chance!
| Romana: What would you like me to do?
The Doctor: Well... I'd like you to stay out of my way as much as possible and try and keep out of trouble? I don't suppose you can make tea?
Romana: Tea?
The Doctor: No, I don't suppose you can. They don't teach you anything useful at the Academy, do they? Gadgets and gimmicky. Never touch, never trust gimmicky gadgets!
| Unstoffe: Why is it always me? Why do I always get these obs.
Garron: You're young. I'm too old to go down there.
Unstoffe: I want a chance to be old, too.
Garron: Unstoffe, do you think at your age I would have climbed down there without the ladder, I would have gone. I loved danger.
Unstoffe: Hah! Now you admit it. It is dangerous!
| Romana: You're sulking.
The Doctor: I'm not sulking.
Romana: That's ridiculous for someone as old as you are.
The Doctor: I'm not old. What?
Romana: 759.
The Doctor: 756! That's not old! Just mature.
Romana: You've lost count somewhere.
The Doctor: Well, I ought to know my age!
Romana: Yes, but after the first few centuries, I expect things things get a bit foggy, didn't they?
| Romana: Of course, now I realize that you're behavior simply derives from a sub-transitory experiential hypertoid-induced condition aggravated by multi-encephalogical tensions.
The Doctor: What is that supposed to mean?
Romana: Well, to put it very simply, Doctor, you're suffering from a massive compensation syndrome.
The Doctor: Is that the sort of rubbish they're pouring into your head at the Academy?
Romana: Do you know, I might even use your case in my thesis when I...
The Doctor: I'll show you whether I'm suffering from a massive compensation syndrome. And you're not going back to Gallifrey, not for a long time yet, I regret to say!
| The Doctor: One more thing. Your name.
Romana: What about my name?
The Doctor: It's too long. By the time I've called out, "Look out..." what's your name?
Romana: "Romanadvoratrelundar."
The Doctor: By the time I've called that out, you could be dead. I'll call you "Romana."
Romana: I don't like "Romana."
The Doctor: It's either "Romana" or "Fred."
Romana: All right, call me "Fred."
The Doctor: Good. Come on, Romana.
