DALEK 1: Orders received. Exterminate all humans.

DALEK 2: Exterminate all humans.

DALEK 1: Exterminate! Annihilate! Destroy! Daleks conquer and destroy!

ALL: Daleks conquer and destroy! Daleks conquer and destroy!

JO: I don't believe it! It's bigger inside than out.

DOCTOR: Yes. That's because the TARDIS is dimensionally transcendental.

JO: What does that mean?

DOCTOR: It means that it's bigger inside than out.

DOCTOR: (drawing a diagram) ...And it comes out here. Right?

OSGOOD: Right. I think.

DOCTOR: Good grief, man, it's as simple as Einstein's special theory of relativity!

BRIGADIER: We'll manage, Doctor.

DOCTOR: Good. When you get that thing finished, bring it through the barrier and down to the village at once, all right? (He drives off.)

BRIGADIER: You know, Sergeant, I sometimes wish I worked in a bank.

MISS HAWTHORNE: (pouring tea) You must learn the art of waiting, Sergeant. The Doctor will come, or else he won't, and that's all that can be said. Now, milk or lemon?

— Olive Hawthorne, The Dæmons

SECOND DOCTOR: If only I could find my recorder, I could play you a little something to pass the time.

BRIGADIER: We must be thankful for small mercies.

JO: We’re still on Earth, aren’t we?

DOCTOR: No, that’s impossible.

JO: Don’t you ever admit that you’re wrong?

DOCTOR: No, that’s impossible too.

MASTER: I'd like to try and take the Doctor alive, if possible. If not, I'll blast him out of space! Pity, though.

OGRON: You do not wish to kill him?

MASTER: Of course I do! But I don't know... Rocket fire at long range, I don't know, somehow it lacks that personal touch.

MASTER: That must be them. No other ship would be on a course for Earth at a time like this.

OGRON: We are on a course for Earth!

MASTER: Well, naturally, because we're chasing them!

DOCTOR: When I left the psionic beam with you, Brigadier, I said it was only to be used in an emergency!

BRIGADIER: This is an emergency.

DOCTOR: Oil, an emergency?! Ha! It's about time the people who run this planet of yours realise that to be dependent upon a mineral slime just doesn't make sense.

DOCTOR: Don't ask me to explain the organic structure of these creatures.

SARAH: Why not?!

DOCTOR: Because I haven't a clue.

SARAH: So what was going on back there in the temple?

DOCTOR: Sub-thermal recombination of ionised plasma.

SARAH: Oh, simple. I should have thought of that.

DOCTOR: I had a feeling that Neeva was actually expecting to hear an answer to his prayer.

LEELA: There wouldn't be much point in praying if he didn't.

DOCTOR: I could quote you a few theologians who'd give you an argument on that.

LEELA: One day he'll get so cunning even he won't know what he's planned.

— Leela, The Face of Evil

LEELA: You mean you can't control this machine?

DOCTOR: Well, of course I can control it! Nine times out of ten. Well, seven times out of ten. Five times— look, never mind, let's see where we are.

UVANOV: I suppose it's also a coincidence that as soon as you two arrive, three of our people are killed? (pause) Well?

DOCTOR: Oh, sorry, I thought it was a rhetorical... well, yes, it's just a coincidence.

GARRON: I admit I had a great struggle with me conscience. Fortunately, I won!

UNSTOFFE: Money isn't everything, Garron.

GARRON: Well, who wants everything? I'll settle for 90 per cent!

DOCTOR: Romana?

ROMANA: Yes?

DOCTOR: You know, I think something very funny's going on. Do you remember that man who was following us? Well, he's standing behind me, poking a gun in my back.

DOCTOR: Clever jink that, don't you think? I made them think I was trying to get to the TARDIS.

PARSONS: What were you trying to do?

DOCTOR: Get to the TARDIS.

Shada

DOCTOR: Open! Open!

PERI: Sesame.

DOCTOR: Be careful.

PERI: I think I'd find it very difficult to be casual at this particular moment.

GRANT: No gun. You must be feeling confident.

DOCTOR: Never carry one; causes my pockets to bulge. Ruins the cut of my coat.

RANI: That planet you're so obsessed with – Earth – I shall return to the Cretaceous Age.

MEL: The Cretaceous Age?

RANI: The potential of the dinosaurs was never fully realised.

DOCTOR: That means Shakespeare, Michelangelo, Louis Pasteur, Elvis – even Mrs Malaprop will never have existed!

— Seventh Doctor, Time and the Rani
