DOCTOR: Yes, it all started out as a mild curiosity in a junkyard, and now it's turned out to be quite a, quite a great spirit of adventure, don't you think?
IAN: Yes. We've had some pretty rough times and even that doesn't stop us. It's a wonderful thing, this ship of yours, Doctor. Taken us back to prehistoric times, the Daleks.
SUSAN: Marco Polo, Marinus.
BARBARA: And the Aztecs.
— The Sensorites

DOCTOR: Yes, and that extraordinary quarrel I had with that English king, Henry the Eighth. You know, he threw a parson's nose at me.
BARBARA: What did you do?
DOCTOR: Threw it back, of course. Take them to the Tower, he said. That's why I did it.
BARBARA: Why?
SUSAN: The TARDIS was inside the Tower.
DOCTOR: Well, I can assure you, my dear Barbara, Napoleon would never have believed you.
IAN: Yes, Doctor, but supposing we had written Napoleon a letter, telling him, you know, some of the things that were going to happen to him.
SUSAN: It wouldn't have made any difference, Ian. He'd have forgotten it, or lost it, or thought it was written by a maniac.
BARBARA: I suppose if we'd tried to kill him with a gun, the bullet would have missed him.
DOCTOR: Well, it's hardly fair to speculate, is it? No, I'm afraid you belittle things. Our lives are important, at least to us. But as we see, so we learn.
IAN: And what are we going to see and learn next, Doctor?
DOCTOR: Well, unlike the old adage, my boy, our destiny is in the stars, so let's go and search for it.
— The Reign of Terror

RAMO: Why should I trust you?
DOCTOR: That's a very good question. I wish I could think of a good answer.
— The Underwater Menace
PELADON: Greetings, Princess. I'm sorry to hear that your journey ended so uncomfortably.
JO: The whole affair was most deplorable. The pilot was exceedingly inefficient.
— The Curse of Peladon
THALIRA: Ambassador, we take it that these aliens are known to you?
ALPHA: Er, not the er, female? Not the female, your Majesty. Still, she's of no importance. But this is most certainly the Doctor. A good friend of your father, and of Peladon.
— The Monster of Peladon
EVELYN: We’re on the Galápagos Islands! And that is a Galápagos tortoise!
DOCTOR: Well actually, Galápagos is a Spanish word for tortoise.
EVELYN: Oh?
DOCTOR: They named the islands after them, you see. The Tortoise Islands, which I suppose means that that is, in fact, a tortoise tortoise! And that’s something else I’ve tort-oise.
— Bloodtide
BERNICE: You know about me and the...oh goddess, you know him?
IRIS: Know him? I've had him! He's my fancy man.
— The Plague Herds of Excelis
(To Tu, a bovine-like alien)
ANGELO: Pull the other one. It's got teats on.
— The Green, the Bad and the Ugly
