DOCTOR: You know, I am so constantly outwitting the opposition, I tend to forget the delights and satisfaction of the arts, the gentle art of fisticuffs.

DOCTOR: So, you've had a busy day, Vicki? Hmm?

VICKI: Yes, it was. Oh, something else I forgot to tell you. I think I've poisoned Nero.

DOCTOR: Really. What?

VICKI: Well, I didn't actually do it, but his wife was going to murder some poor slave or other and I didn't see why that should happen, so I thought

DOCTOR: For heavens sake, child, keep quiet. What did you do?

VICKI: Well, I swapped the drinks round.

DOCTOR: And I told you not to interfere with history. Come along, quickly, quickly child!

VICKI: Where will we go next? Has the Doctor told you yet?

BARBARA: Oh, no, he never does that.

VICKI: You mean it's a surprise?

IAN: Er, yes. To everybody.

BARBARA: Oh, I'm so hungry.

IAN: Yes, so am I. Er, Barbara, there must be a bit of that cold peacock of yours left in the fridge.

BARBARA: Hey, you're right!

IAN: Why don't you have a look?

BARBARA: Oh, very funny! Instead of sitting there making stupid jokes, why don't you get yourself cleaned up?

NERO: A lifetime's work! I'll have you both killed over and over again! Guards! Guards! Fool! Idiot! Traitor! Pig! I'll stick you both in the arena, on an island with water all round, and in the water there will be alligators and the water level will be raised and the alligators will get you! Fool! Traitor! Brilliant! You are a genius! A genius! I will make you rich! Rich! So the Senate wouldn't pass my plans, eh? Wouldn't let me build my New Rome? But if the old one is burnt, if it goes up in flames, they will have no choice! Rome will be rebuilt to my design! Brilliant! Brilliant!
