Quotes 

• Doctor Who : New technology dates so quickly these days.

• [the Doctor looks to Nyssa for an explanation as to the two unconscious figures lying on the floor. She holds up a tool] 

  Nyssa : The iron bonder. I stepped up the iron rate. They'll sleep for quite a bit, yet.

  Doctor Who : What? I must remember never to fall out with your daughter, Tremas. May I have a look at that? Yes, very cleaver. No self-respecting fugitive should be without one.

  [He pockets the device] 

• Doctor Who : Ah, good morning, or afternoon, or is it evening. It's very difficult to keep track of time around here.

• Tremas : The, um, secrecy of the source manipulator is a sacred trust.

  Doctor Who : Tremas, we must stop Kassia becoming The Keeper and for that we must have the master plans.

  Tremas : But I swore an oath, Doctor.

  Doctor Who : Well of COURSE you swore an oath. Now you have to choose - your personal honor against the safety of the whole Traken.

  Nyssa : Yes, father.

  Tremas : I can't, Doctor.

  Doctor Who : Well, that's fine.

• Doctor Who : What can't be cured must be endured.

  Adric : That's the silliest thing you've ever said.

  Doctor Who : Yes, yes. Don't listen to me - I never do.
