Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Odysseus : [about the Tardis]  Your temple, as you call it, has disappeared!

  Dr. Who : Disappeared?

  Odysseus : Vanished... into thin air.

• Steven Taylor : So, really, you see, we arrived in your time entirely by accident. It's just another miscalculation by the Doctor.

  Dr. Who : Well, I would hardly call it a miscalculation, my boy.

  Steven Taylor : Well, then, what would you call it?

  Dr. Who : Well, I think with all eternity to choose from, I did rather well to get us back to Earth. Hmm, hmm, hmm.

  Steven Taylor : Ah! I'm very glad you're pleased with yourself! I suppose I should be grateful for standing here, trussed like a chicken, ready to have me throat cut!

  Odysseus : No one mentioned cutting throats...

  Dr. Who : No, they didn't.

  Odysseus : [laughs]  I had... I had something more lingering in mind.

  Dr. Who : Yes. Yes, I dare say. I suppose some kind of, ah, ritual death, I presume? Hmm, hmm.
