The Armageddon Factor
ROMANA: Oh, no… DOCTOR: No, no, don’t say it, please. ROMANA: Don’t say what? DOCTOR: Don’t say, “Another underground passage.”
DOCTOR: He’s dead. MARSHAL: You’ll be shot for this. ROMANA: It wasn’t us. He was like that when we found him. MARSHAL: You expect me to believe that? ROMANA: Yes. | DOCTOR: No. ROMANA: No. | DOCTOR: Yes.
DOCTOR:...

The Power of Kroll
DOCTOR: This must be one of the moons of Delta Magna! I’d say the third. ROMANA: Doctor? DOCTOR: Hmm? ROMANA: Sometimes, I don’t think you’re quite right in the head.
DOCTOR: I know a rogue when I see a rogue and I’ve no desire to die in the company of a rogue. Have you any desire to die in the company of a rogue? ROMANA: I’d rather not die at all. DOCTOR: I know...

The Androids of Tara
DOCTOR: Rook to bishop’s four. I saw Capablanca make that move against Alekhine in 1927. K-9: He lost, master. DOCTOR: Who? K-9: Capablanca.
ROMANA: Where are you going? DOCTOR: Fishing. ROMANA: Fishing? What’s fishing? DOCTOR: Fishing? It’s an art, worthy of the knowledge and practice of a wise man. I think— ROMANA: Look, we haven’t got time for you to practise...

The Stones of Blood
DOCTOR: Right. Let’s put these two together and go and find the third. … Oh, I see. … ROMANA: Here, let me do it. DOCTOR: What? ROMANA: I used to be rather good at puzzles. DOCTOR: Puzzles? You don’t call that a puzzle, do you? ROMANA: Well, hardly complex enough to be called a puzzle, is it?
ROMANA: Well? How do I look?
ROMANA: K-9, what is tennis? K-9: Real, lawn or...

Just watched The End of Time, Part One
Reactions… Beware of spoilers.
This episode was “OMG!”
All humans turned into the Master, that was “LOL”.
And then, there they are! The Time Lords! I had so been wanting them back… I was all *o* and “aaaaaah!” I hope they’re really back, and for good, otherwise I will hate and curse RTD! It’s time to end the whole “last...

The Pirate Planet
DOCTOR: Listen, have you any idea how long I’ve been operating this TARDIS? ROMANA: Five hundred and twenty-three years. DOCTOR: Right!… Is it really that long? My, how time flies.
DOCTOR: Hello, Doctor! DOCTOR: Hello, how are you? DOCTOR: Oh, terribly well, can’t complain. DOCTOR: Goodbye. DOCTOR: Bye-bye.
K-9: Batteries… my… exhausted… nearly… are.

The Ribos Operation
ROMANA: You’re sulking. DOCTOR: I’m not sulking. ROMANA: That’s ridiculous for somebody as old as you are. DOCTOR: I’m not old! (ROMANA scoffs.) DOCTOR: What? ROMANA: 759. DOCTOR: 756. That’s not old, it’s just mature. ROMANA: You’ve lost count somewhere. DOCTOR: Well, I ought to know my own age! ROMANA: Yes, but after the first few centuries, I expect...

Existential problems of a clown
(Various studio people chase SARA and STEVEN through the Hollywood studio. The whole scene is a slapstick chase to cries of "Stop those two" and "Stop 'em!" that includes Keystone cops, a cowboy, a saloon bar girl, and even Charlie Chaplin.)
STEVEN: Come on, Sara!
STEINBERGER P. GREEN: Stop those two!
(The DOCTOR has made it back to the TARDIS at the back of the set where he finds a dejected man in checked suit, striped tie and bowler hat sat on the threshold. They watch as STEVEN and SARA run past.
STEINBERGER P. GREEN: Stop those two!
STAGEHAND: Stop those two!
(The DOCTOR shouts after STEVEN and SARA.)
DOCTOR: Come back, you two!
CLOWN: Typical. When you're new around here, they chase you. But after a while - you're off.
DOCTOR: What's that?
CLOWN: All the time they want something new. New jokes? There aren't any.
DOCTOR: Aren't there? Well, that's a joke in itself!
(The CLOWN laughs at the DOCTOR'S remarks.)
[...]
(Over the hubbub of the noise of the chase, the DOCTOR and the CLOWN continue to talk.)
CLOWN: Custard pies have been done by Chaplin, so I'm not allowed to.
DOCTOR: Hmm, quite, quite. Now would you mind moving...?
(He tries to get past the soulful little man and into the TARDIS.)
CLOWN: Buckets of water, done by Chaplin. Banana skins...
CLOWN & DOCTOR: (Together.) ...all done by Chaplin!
DOCTOR: Hmm! Hmm!
[...]
CLOWN: They won't even let me do the wallpaper and paste routine. You know why?
DOCTOR: Done by Chaplin?
CLOWN: Yeah.
DOCTOR: (Laughs.) Now, would you excuse me?
(He tries once more to make it into the TARDIS but the CLOWN is on a roll...)
CLOWN: I'll tell you something - that little Englishman has done everything. I think I'll give it up and take to singing.
DOCTOR: Yes.
CLOWN: But, who'd use a singer with a name like Bing Crosby?
DOCTOR: Custard pies! Bing Crosby! Ha!

Oh, aye...
(In the street outside, a group of children can be heard singing the Christmas carol "The First Noel". The DOCTOR pokes his head out of the TARDIS door and sees the POLICEMEN looking bored with their new duty. The FIRST POLICEMAN turns, sees him and automatically politely intones...)
FIRST POLICEMAN: Good evening.
DOCTOR: Good evening.
(The FIRST POLICEMAN, startled, suddenly realises that the DOCTOR came from inside the box.)
FIRST POLICEMAN: Hey, you!
(The DOCTOR ducks back into the TARDIS and closes the door.)
FIRST POLICEMAN: Uh?!
(The SECOND POLICEMAN runs over to his friend a short distance away.)
SECOND POLICEMAN: What's up?
FIRST POLICEMAN: See that?
SECOND POLICEMAN: See what?
(The FIRST POLICEMAN, somewhat flustered, points at the TARDIS door.)
FIRST POLICEMAN: That then!
SECOND POLICEMAN: What when?
FIRST POLICEMAN: That door!
SECOND POLICEMAN: That door?
FIRST POLICEMAN: It opened!
SECOND POLICEMAN: Did it?
FIRST POLICEMAN: There's a bloke in there.
SECOND POLICEMAN: (Unconvinced.) Oh, aye.
FIRST POLICEMAN: That bloke with a...with...with long white hair. I just saw him!
SECOND POLICEMAN: Did ya?
FIRST POLICEMAN: Aye.
(The SECOND POLICEMAN goes up to the door and tries to open it.)
SECOND POLICEMAN: It's locked.
FIRST POLICEMAN: But, I've just saw him!
SECOND POLICEMAN: (Unconvinced.) Oh, aye!

Incompetence
DALEK SUPREME: You make your incompetence sound like an achievement.
(CHEN stalks round the room.)
MAVIC CHEN: (Furiously.) Incompetence now, is it? You forget that the original blunder was not of my doing. I journeyed to and from Earth to correct a failing your security force should have dealt with. The Core was stolen from here. My actions have brought about a situation which will allow you to recover the missing Taranium easily and simply. If that is a failure, then I have failed.
(MAVIC CHEN out-stares the DALEK SUPREME as he explains his logic. The DALEK SUPREME swings towards a group of DALEKS as news of the DOCTOR'S escape starts to come through.)
DALEK SUPREME: Report.
DALEK: The fugitives have stolen our Pursuit ship and have left the planet Mira.
(The DALEK SUPREME'S voice rises a couple of tones.)
DALEK SUPREME: Stolen! Left the planet Mira! Is their course being computed?
DALEK: It is.
DALEK SUPREME: What news of our forces?
DALEK: They are stranded on the planet and under constant attack from the invisible creatures that inhabit it.
DALEK SUPREME: Dispatch a rescue ship to their aid. They will be dealt with on their return. Meanwhile, I will personally supervise recovery of the Core.
DALEK: I obey.
(This humiliation of the DALEKS spurs MAVIC CHEN onto the offensive...)
MAVIC CHEN: And you had the audacity to accuse me, Mavic Chen, of incompetence!

Goodbye Katarina...
(KATARINA wrenches her hand free and reaches for the airlock switches. KIRKSEN, seeing this, tries to get hold of her hand. Outside, STEVEN and VYON watch this desperate struggle, and see which control KATARINA is reaching for.)
STEVEN: Not that one! Katarina!
(It is too late. They hear an electronic burble as the outer doors open.)
STEVEN: (Screams.) Katarina!
(VYON'S hand flashes to the controls and the outer door closes again, as STEVEN tries to open the inner door. All three men are in total shock and there is a stunned silence.)
STEVEN: (Softly.) She pressed the wrong button, Doctor.
DOCTOR: She may have wanted to, dear boy. She wanted to save our lives.
BRET VYON: (Awkwardly.) It must have been... quick.
(The DOCTOR stares out into space.)
DOCTOR: I hope she's reached her Place of Perfection.
(STEVEN stares at the airlock.)
STEVEN: Yes, but not that way.
DOCTOR: (Sadly.) She didn't understand. She couldn't understand. She wanted to save our lives. And perhaps the lives of all the other beings of the Solar System. I hope she's found her Perfection.
(He stares into space again.)
DOCTOR: Oh, how I shall always remember her... as one of the Daughters of the Gods. Yes, as one of the Daughters of the Gods!
(The lifeless bodies of KATARINA and KIRKSEN float away into space. The young Trojan Handmaiden, many centuries and many miles from her birth, seems calm in death...)
