- The Doctor: [delightfully] I don't believe it! Marvelous! After all this time.
- Jamie: Oh, what's so marvelous about that?
- The Doctor: Well don't you see, Jamie, it's the Himalayas! And I do believe we're in exactly the right... now wait a minute.
- Jamie: The Hima - what?
- The Doctor: Shh... Shh...
- Victoria: The Himalayas, Jamie. They're mountains.
- Jamie: Aye I can see that. Hey is it the Earth, Doctor? I don't fancy another tangle down the Cybermen's tomb.
- The Doctor: No, no. Shh, Jamie, Shh! Yes of course it's the Earth. Yes... yes I think I'm right... yes...
- Jamie: Where are these mountains?
- Victoria: Don't you know where the Himalayas are? They're in India. Well at least I think so...
- The Doctor: Yes, that's it! I knew it! I knew it! It's incredible. Right! No, no, not India. This is Tibet. That's where we are, Tibet. Now, there's no time to be lost. Come along, Jamie, we must find the ghanta.
- Jamie: The what?
- The Doctor: The ghanta, the ghanta. I put it here somewhere. Come along, Jamie, help me.
- [pulls out an old trunk and starts hunting for the Ghanta, a Tibetan holy bell. Jamie starts to help and we hear something in the chest breaking]
- Jamie: Hey what am I supposed to be looking for?
- The Doctor: I told you it's...
- [finding a small object with bells on it]
- The Doctor: Good Lord, I haven't seen that for years.
- Jamie: Oh, that's the ghanta then?
- The Doctor: No, no, no, no. It's a... well... whatever it is... it's nice to see it again.
- Victoria: Oh.
- The Doctor: Thank you. Come along, Victoria.
- Jamie: [finding some bagpipes in the chest] Hey, Doctor, would you look at these. You never told me you had these.
- The Doctor: No, Jamie.
- Jamie: Hey I could fix those easily.
- The Doctor: Yes I was afraid of that.
- Victoria: Jamie, you're getting as bad as the Doctor.
- Victoria: [turning a switch on the console] Wait a minute, Jamie.
- Jamie: Hey come and give us a hand.
- Victoria: I want to see where the Doctor's gone. Now if I turn this to the left... it should... a ha that's it.
- Jamie: [finding a sword] Hey, now would you look at this. Oh, that's marvelous.
- [pointing at something on the scanner]
- Jamie: What... Hey, what's that?
- Victoria: Where?
- Jamie: A great sort of hairy beastie. Turn the thing back.
- Victoria: [turning the switch again] Oh.
- Jamie: No, to the right.
- Victoria: [struggling with the switch] I am!
- Jamie: Downwards. That's it, there!
- [there is a small furry creature bouncing down the path. Jamie realizes what it is and starts to laugh]
- Jamie: Oh no, my mistake. The great hairy beastie, it's the Doctor.
- [they both laugh]
- Professor Travers: [taunting] It's a 100 foot drop outside that window. There's no way out you know.
- The Doctor: [cheerfully] I didn't think there would be.
- Professor Travers: How did you track me down?
- The Doctor: [puzzled] Track you down? I don't even know who you are.
- Professor Travers: Don't play the innocent with me! It won't work. If it wasn't for my expedition you wouldn't be here. Hmm. You're one of those wretched newspaper men.
- The Doctor: [totally puzzled] Paper Men? I wish I know what you are talking about?
- Professor Travers: Oh yes! You laughed at me in the press didn't you. "Travers - the mad anthropologist". After that, even my own Society wouldn't finance me.
- [firmly]
- Professor Travers: But I know they're here. Twenty years I've been searching.
- The Doctor: Twenty years!
- Professor Travers: I've staked my reputation and every penny I own on this expedition. Now, when I'm close to finding them, you want to steal my glory! Just for the sake of a cheap headline.
- The Doctor: Finding them? Finding what?
- Professor Travers: [getting angry at the Doctor's words] Don't pretend. They're here. Somewhere on these mountains.
- The Doctor: [almost shouting] What are?
- Professor Travers: You know! The Yeti! The Abominable Snowmen!
