- The Doctor: Right then, follow me.
- Rickston Slade: Hang on a minute. Who put you in charge, and who the hell are you anyway?
- The Doctor: I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the Constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old and I'm the man who is gonna save your lives and all 6 billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?
- Rickston Slade: No.
- The Doctor: In that case, allons-y.
- The Doctor: What's your name?
- Midshipman Frame: Alonso.
- The Doctor: You're kidding me.
- Midshipman Frame: No, is something wrong?
- The Doctor: Something else I've always wanted to say. Allons-y, Alonso!
- Mr. Copper: I shall be taking you to Old London town in the country of UK, ruled over by Good King Wenceslas. Now human beings worship the great god Santa, a creature with fearsome claws and his wife Mary. And every Christmas Eve, the people of UK go to war with the country of Turkey. They then eat the Turkey people for Christmas dinner, like savages!
- Astrid: This Christmas thing? What's it about?
- The Doctor: Long story. I should know. I was there. I got the last room.
- The Doctor: Two thousand people on this ship, six billion underneath us, all of them slaughtered, and why? Because Max Capricorn is a loser!
- Max Capricorn: I never lose!
- The Doctor: You can't even sink the Titanic!
- The Doctor: That's what I am: just a traveler. Imagine it: no tax, no bills, no boss. Just the open sky.
- The Doctor: Good, so, um... tell me - 'cause I'm an idiot - where are we from?
- Robot Angel: Information: the Titanic is en route from the planet Sto in the Cassavalian Belt. The purpose of the cruise is to experience primitive cultures.
- The Doctor: Titanic. Um... who... thought of the name?
- Robot Angel: Information: it was chosen as the most famous vessel of the planet Earth.
- The Doctor: Did they tell you why it was famous?
- Mr. Copper: [regarding Rickston] Of all the people to survive, he's not the one you would have chosen, is it? But if you could choose, Doctor, if you could decide who lives and who dies... that would make you a monster.
- The Doctor: I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I am 903 years old and I'm the man who's gonna save your lives, and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?
- Robot Angel: Information: You are all going to die.
- Mr. Copper: So Great Britain is part of Europe, and just across the British channel you've got Great France and Great Germany?
- The Doctor: It's just France and Germany. Only Britain is Great.
- The Doctor: I'm going to seal us in
- Mr. Copper: Leaving us trapped, wouldn't you say?
- The Doctor: Never say trapped, just... inconveniently circumstanced.
- The Doctor: Okay, okay. Tch, tch. First things first. One: we're going to climb through this ship. B... no... two: we're going to reach the bridge. Three - or C: we're going to save the Titanic. And, coming in a very low Four or D or that little "iv" in brackets they use in footnotes... why. Right then, follow me.
- The Doctor: It should be full. It should be busy, something's wrong.
- Astrid: But it's beautiful.
- The Doctor: Really? You think so? It's just a street. The pyramids are beautiful, and New Zealand.
- Astrid: It's a different planet, I'm standing on a different planet. The-there's concrete, and shops, real alien shops! Real alien shops. Look, no stars in the sky. And it smells. It STINKS! This is amazing! "Thanks you!
- The Doctor: Come on then, let's have a look.
- Queen Elizabeth: [waving as the Titanic misses Buckingham Palace] Thank you, Doctor, thank you! Happy Christmas!

- The Doctor: [in disbelief] You're kidding me!
- Midshipman Frame: What?
- The Doctor: That's something else I've always wanted to say! Allons-y Alonso!
- Mr. Copper: But if the planet's waking up, can't we signal them? They could send up a rocket or something.

- Mr. Copper: No, I've read about it. They have shuffles. Space shuffles.
