Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Ben Jackson : Doctor, do something!

  The Doctor : I'm trying to!

  [the Doctor adjusts some controls and soon everything returns to normal] 

  The Doctor : Everything back under control again.

  Ben Jackson : Here, we're landing! Look! Coming at a fair rate!

  Jamie McCrimmon : Oh, thank the lord for that. You know, Doctor, I'll never ask you to do that again.

  The Doctor : I see no reason for that.

  Polly Wright : [staring at the scanner]  Anyway, Doctor, you... you've done it. It's Mars! It must be. You've landed the TARDIS exactly where you said you would.

• Jamie McCrimmon : [softly]  The Piper! The McCrimmon Piper! Don't let him get me!

  The Doctor : Piper?

  Polly Wright : Some legend of his clan. As far, as I can make out - this piper appears to a McCrimmon just before he dies.

  The Doctor : Has this phantom piper appeared to Jamie yet?

  Polly Wright : You don't believe it, do you?

  The Doctor : No, but he does. It's important to him.

  Polly Wright : He keeps asking us to keep the piper away from him.

  The Doctor : Good. We can see if we can do just that.
