ZOE: I don't want to be thought of as a freak. Leo said I was like a robot, a machine. I think he's right. My head's been pumped full of facts and figures which I reel out automatically when needed, but, well, I want to feel things as well.
— Zoe Heriot, The Wheel in Space
JAMIE: You're just not trained for an emergency like this.
ZOE: Well, that's the whole point. What good am I? I've been created for some false kind of existence where only known kinds of emergencies are catered for. Well, what good is that to me now?
JAMIE: Hey, we're not done yet, you know.
ZOE: And if we survive? What then, Jamie? Suppose we do get ourselves out of this mess. What have I got left? A blind reliance on facts and logic.
— The Wheel in Space
ISOBEL: You're still worried about your two friends, aren't you?
ZOE: Yes, a bit.
ISOBEL: They can't have got themselves into any sort of trouble, can they?
ZOE: Oh, you wouldn't say that if you knew them. If there's trouble to be found, the Doctor and Jamie can't miss it.
— The Invasion
ZOE: Of course he can. The Doctor's almost as clever as I am.
— Zoe Heriot, The Krotons
DOCTOR: Goodbye, Zoe.
ZOE: Goodbye, Doctor. Will we ever meet again?
DOCTOR: Again? Now, Zoe, you and I know, time is relative, isn't it?
— The War Games
DOCTOR: All right, all right, I suppose you want to see my pass? Yes, well, I haven't got one. And I'm not going to tell you my name, either. Now you just tell Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart that I want to see him. Well, don't just stand there arguing with me, man! Get on with it!
— Third Doctor, Spearhead from Space
Tags: Funny
LIZ: Yes, well, he wants us to join him. 'Miss Shaw and the Doctor will report themselves forthwith to Wenley Moor. Attend a briefing meeting at precisely-'
DOCTOR: My dear Miss Shaw, I never report myself anywhere. Particularly not forthwith.
— Doctor Who and the Silurians
SHORT: I do hope you'll include us in your article. We've been sadly misrepresented.
SARAH: Really? Well, we're covering a number of fringe organisations, and I'm sure we'll find a place for you. Somewhere between the flying saucer people and the flat Earthers.
— Robot
DOCTOR: By the time I've called look out, what's your name?
ROMANA: Romanadvoratnelundar.
DOCTOR: By the time I've called that out, you could be dead. I'll call you Romana.
ROMANA: I don't like Romana.
DOCTOR: It's either Romana or Fred.
ROMANA: All right, call me Fred.
DOCTOR: Good. Come on, Romana.
— The Ribos Operation
DOCTOR: Er, excuse me! What I'd like to know. Where did you get those jelly babies?
ROMANA: Same place you get them.
DOCTOR: Where?
ROMANA: Your pocket.
— The Pirate Planet
ROMANA: K9, what is tennis?
K9: Real, lawn or table, mistress?
ROMANA: Never mind. Forget it.
K9: Forget. Erase memory banks concerning tennis. Memory erased.
— The Stones of Blood
TEGAN: How do we find the index file? Of course, if we had an index file, we could look it up in the index file, under index file. What am I saying? I'm talking nonsense.
— Tegan Jovanka, Castrovalva
MONARCH: I have over thrown the greatest tyranny in the universe. External and internal organs.
NYSSA: What about love?
MONARCH: Love?
ENLIGHTENMENT: The exchange of two fantasies, your Majesty.
— Four to Doomsday
ACE: I felt like I could run forever, like I could smell the wind and feel the grass under my feet and just run forever.
— Ace, Survival
DOCTOR: Still, I rather like the look of it here.
EVELYN: Oh, yes, terrific. It's cold, it's wet, it's foggy, and it definitely isn't the Galapagos Islands. We're probably in the middle of post apocalypse Bromsgrove in the ninety fifth century. If this is Earth at all.
— The Spectre of Lanyon Moor
NYSSA: I thought we couldn't change history.
DOCTOR: This place. All decay and despair. It feels like an end. Yet you and I know what's coming afterwards. So it's not an ending. Just an alternative.
NYSSA: So we can't change history.
DOCTOR: Who says? I think history's old enough to take care of itself.
— Spare Parts
ROMANA: K9 is a vicious robot criminal from the fifth galaxy. Aren’t you, K9?
K9: Affirmative!
— Weapon of Choice
ROMANA: Leela. Are you saying you’re afraid of me?
LEELA: You are also two people. The person I know, and the person you once were. Who
is… so different.
ROMANA: You’ve always known I was a Time Lord. Regeneration is a natural part of the
progression of our lives. Completely without consequence.
LEELA: One person cannot become many without consequence.
— Spirit
JAMIE: What the Doctor said... it was true. All of it. I've seen such wonders! I've walked on the moon. I've watched Atlantis sink beneath the waves. I've been to the other side of space and back again. And everywhere we went, there were monsters.
— Jamie McCrimmon, Legend of the Cybermen
STRAX: And how will she locate the Doctor?
VASTRA: To find him, she needs only ignore all keep-out signs, go through every locked door, and run towards any form of danger that presents itself.
STRAX: Business as usual, then.
VASTRA: Business as usual.
— The Crimson Horror
GREGSON: Well, it's just laid an egg.
VASTRA: It's dropped a blue box marked Police out of its mouth. Your grasp of biology, it troubles me.
— Deep Breath
CLARA: If Vastra changed, if she was different, if she wasn't the person that you liked?
Jenny: I don't like her, ma'am. I love her. And as to different? Well, she's a lizard.
DOCTOR: Blaming the Universe is the only way I can get out of bed in the morning.
— Fourth Doctor, Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen
