Quotes 

• Ben Jackson : Of course, the real Doctor was always going on about the Daleks.

  Polly Wright : Real Doctor?

  The Doctor : Real Doctor? Oh, you mean the real Doctor.

  Ben Jackson : Yeah, now I've seen that claw thing, well, wouldn't want to shake hands with it, let's put it that way.

  Polly Wright : Doctor, look, if they're that dangerous, what are you going to do about it?

  The Doctor : Save my breath. Would Lesterson listen? Uh, uh. Lesterson listen. Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen. Exercises the tongue. Try it! Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen...

  Ben Jackson : Look, they think you're the Examiner, order them to destroy the Daleks! Well, chuck your weight about.

  Polly Wright : [repeating in the background]  Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen...

  Polly Wright , The Doctor : [in unison]  Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen, Lesterson listen...

  Lesterson : [interrupts]  What do you think you're doing in here?

  [the Doctor looks towards the ceiling] 

• Ben Jackson : You know, it's little things like this that make it difficult to believe that you're the Doctor.

  The Doctor : Ahh.

  Ben Jackson : The other one, I mean. The proper one. Oh nuts, you know what I mean.

  The Doctor : Nuts? Yes, certainly, here we are. Crackers?

  Ben Jackson : You, my old china, are an out and out phoney!

  The Doctor : China, yes, I went there once I believe. Met Marco Polo!

  Ben Jackson : No, not China. China! China and plate, mate, friend.

  The Doctor : Yes, Marco Polo a friend? I believe he was.

  Polly Wright : Don't listen to him, Doctor. I know who you are.

• The Doctor : Now, Lesterson's fanatic. The Governor's jealous of his own position. What does that suggest to you?

  [the Doctor answers himself] 

  The Doctor : Dunno. Hadn't thought about it. That all is not well with this colony. Add to that one Dalek!

  Ben Jackson : Oh, blimey, you don't half make mountains, don't you? One Dalek?

  The Doctor : [explaining]  Yes! All that is needed to wipe out this entire colony.

• Hensell : [to the Doctor]  Examiner. You seem to be in two minds.

  Ben Jackson : [quietly]  Yeah, and two bodies.

• [first lines] 

  Ben Jackson : Doctor, look!

  [Polly screams. The Doctor and Ben stare transfixed at the pulsating claw. Ben slowly moves towards the claw, but the Doctor quickly drags him back. The movement appears to alarm the claw - it scuttles back into the shadows] 

  The Doctor : A light. A torch outside.

  Ben Jackson : Did you see it?

  The Doctor : Quickly Ben, quickly!
