DOCTOR: I always find that violent exercise makes me hungry. Don't you agree?
— The Sea Devils
(Yates has a drink of the wine.)
JO: That wasn't very kind of you.
YATES: RHIP, Jo.
JO: Pardon?
YATES: Rank Has Its Privileges. Thank you.
— Day of the Daleks
BRIGADIER: Now I'm not going to sit here like a spare lemon waiting for the squeezer.
— The Brigadier, The Dæmons
CALDWELL: Are you some kind of scientist?
DOCTOR: I'm every kind of scientist.
— Colony in Space
Tags: Funny
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.
(The telephone rings.)
BENTON: Sergeant, Acting Governor Benton here.
— The Mind of Evil
BRIGADIER: Still sceptical?
LIZ: Of course. I deal with facts, not science fiction ideas.
BRIGADIER: Miss Shaw, I'm not a fool. I don't chase shadows. What you don't understand is that there might, there is a remote possibility that outside your cosy little world other things could exist.
LIZ: No need to get tetchy.
BRIGADIER: Well, sometimes you can be very aggravating.
LIZ: Me? What about you? You really believe in a man who's helped to save the world twice? With the power to transform his physical appearance?
BRIGADIER: I'm not sure yet. It may not be the same man.
LIZ: An alien who travels through time and space in a police box?
— Spearhead from Space
DOCTOR: No! Stop, you're making me giddy! No, you can't do this to me! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
— The War Games
JAMIE: Doctor, come on, will ye? The whole place is going to blow up.
DOCTOR: Oh, it's quite all right, Jamie. The planet is quite safe. There's just going to be a localised volcanic eruption. It'll only affect the island.
JAMIE: Maybe so, but we happen to be on the island.
DOCTOR: Oh, my word!
— The Dominators
DOCTOR: An unintelligent enemy is far less dangerous than an intelligent one, Jamie. Just act stupid. Do you think you can manage that?
DOCTOR: (mexican) Why, hello, Bruce. What are you doing here, huh?
— Second Doctor, The Enemy of the World
DOCTOR: Victoria, I think this is one of those instances where discretion is the better part of valour. Jamie has an idea. Come along.
— Second Doctor, The Abominable Snowmen
DOCTOR: Our lives are different to anybody else’s. That’s the exciting thing. There’s nobody in the universe can do what we’re doing.
— The Tomb of the Cybermen
DOCTOR: You look very nice in that dress, Victoria.
VICTORIA: Thank you. Don't you think it's a bit--
DOCTOR: A bit short? Oh, I shouldn't worry about that. Look at Jamie's.
KLIEG: Yes, yes, I can see that, but how did you know in the first place?
DOCTOR: Oh, I use my own special technique.
KLIEG: Oh really, Doctor? And may we know what that is?
DOCTOR: Keeping my eyes open and my mouth shut.
KLIEG: It's you. Over to that wall, all of you. All of you! Now.
DOCTOR: Yes, as you say, such a combination between intelligence and power would make you formidable indeed. Why you'd be commander of the universe with your brilliance! It makes the imagination reel with the possibilities!
KLIEG: Why, Doctor, if I had only known you shared my imagination, you might even have worked for me.
DOCTOR: Perhaps it's not too late?
JAMIE: Doctor!
DOCTOR: No, Jamie, don't you see?
(The Cybermen are waking but Klieg has his back to them.)
DOCTOR: Don't you see what this is going to all mean to all the people who come to serve Klieg the All Powerful? Why, no country, no person would dare to have a single thought that was not your own. Eric Klieg's own conception of the, of the way of life!
KLIEG: Brilliant! Yes, yes, you're right. Master of the world.
DOCTOR: Well now I know you're mad. I just wanted to make sure.
DOCTOR: Are you happy with us, Victoria?
VICTORIA: Yes, I am. At least, I would be if my father were here.
DOCTOR: Yes, I know, I know.
VICTORIA: I wonder what he would have thought if he could see me now.
DOCTOR: You miss him very much, don't you?
VICTORIA: It's only when I close my eyes. I can still see him standing there, before those horrible Dalek creatures came to the house. He was a very kind man, I shall never forget him. Never.
DOCTOR: No, of course you won't. But, you know, the memory of him won't always be a sad one.
VICTORIA: I think it will. You can't understand, being so ancient.
DOCTOR: Eh?
VICTORIA: I mean old.
DOCTOR: Oh.
VICTORIA: You probably can't remember your family.
DOCTOR: Oh yes, I can when I want to. And that's the point, really. I have to really want to, to bring them back in front of my eyes. The rest of the time they sleep in my mind, and I forget. And so will you. Oh yes, you will. You'll find there's so much else to think about. So remember, our lives are different to anybody else's. That's the exciting thing. There's nobody in the universe can do what we're doing. You must get some sleep and let this poor old man stay awake.
DOCTOR: There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things. They must be fought.
— The Moonbase
ZAROFF: Nothing in ze world can stop me now!
— The Underwater Menace
DOCTOR: I’d like to see a butterfly fit into a chrysalis case after it spreads its wings. Life depends on change, and renewal.
— The Power of the Daleks
DOCTOR: What did you say, my boy? It's all over. It's all over. That's what you said. No, but it isn't all over. It's far from being all over.
— First Doctor, The Tenth Planet
DOCTOR: (direct to camera) Incidentally, a Happy Christmas to all of you at home!
— First Doctor, The Daleks’ Master Plan
(His TARDIS is now the size of the altar. It's no longer bigger inside than outside.)
MONK: Ah! Ah! What's he done? He's taken my dimensional control! He's ruined my time machine! I'm, I'm marooned. Marooned! In 1066. Oh, Doctor. Doctor! Doctor!
(Down on the beach, the TARDIS dematerialises. )
— The Time Meddler
VICKI: Doctor? He says the TARDIS isn't a time machine.
DOCTOR: Oh, does he now?
VICKI: Tell him.
DOCTOR: I don't see why I should, my child. He'll learn soon enough.
STEVEN: Look, Doctor, I've seen some spaceships in my time, admittedly nothing like this. Well, what does this do?
DOCTOR: That is the dematerialising control and that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy. Now please stop bothering me.
