- Chessene: We must ask Stike to make a descreet landing. This planet is greatly over-populated.
- Shockeye: By the time I leave it Madam, that may not be a problem.
- [chuckles]
- Shockeye: Oh, did you learn much from the dead mind?
- Chessene: It was a puny thing: This region of the planet is called Andalucia. We are four kilometers from the city of Seville.
- Shockeye: Oh, ho, and is the eating good there?
- Chessene: Dona Arana had little interest in food. Her mind was full of religion.
- Shockeye: [turning disagreeable] Religion? I'm not interested in the beliefs of primitives - only in what they taste like!
- The Second Doctor: [the TARDIS shakes as if it has collided into something] Splendid! We've hit conterminous time again.
- Jamie: Well, we've certainly hit something!
- The Doctor: Dastari, I have no doubt you could augment an earwig to the point where it understood nuclear physics, but it would still be a very stupid thing to do!
- Peri: [stepping from the TARDIS, breathing in] Oh, doctor, it's foul. You... you sure it's safe?
- The Sixth Doctor: Plenty of oxygen.
- Peri: But it's that awful smell?
- The Sixth Doctor: Mainly decaying food... and corpses.
- Peri: And corpses?
- The Sixth Doctor: That is the smell of death, Peri. Ancient must, heavy in the air. Fruit-soft flesh peeling from white bones. The unholy, unburiable smell of Armageddon. There's nothing quite so evocative as one's sense of smell, is there?
- Peri: I feel sick.
- Shockeye: "The gratification of pleasure is the sole motive of action." Is that not our law?
- Chessene: I still accept it, but there are pleasures other than the purely sensual.
- Shockeye: For you, perhaps. Fortunately, I have not been augmented.
- Chessene: Take care. Your purity could easily become insufferable.
- The Sixth Doctor: [the Sixth Doctor is fishing. Peri throws a stone into the water] Don't do that! You'll frighten the fish!
- Peri: [throwing in another stone] What fish?
- Jamie: We don't usually get to where you say we're going.
- The Second Doctor: I got Victoria to where she wanted to go. Why she wants to learn graphology, I have no idea!
- The Second Doctor: Jamie, some of the most brilliant scientists in the universe have assembled here to work together in pure research. I don't want them to know that I've arrived.
- Jamie: Why not?
- The Second Doctor: Just think of the commotion. They'll all be scrambling around wanting my autograph.
- Shockeye: [the TARDIS materialises into a kitchen] How dare you? How dare you transmat that object into my kitchens?
- The Second Doctor: How dare you have the impertinence to address me like that?
- Peri: [after the sixth Doctor catches a very small fish] Oh, wow, Doctor! That must weigh very nearly an ounce.
- The Second Doctor: Dastari, you have more letters after your name than anyone else I know - enough for two alphabets. How is it that you can be such a stupid, stubborn, irrational, and thoroughly objectionable old idiot?
- [Jamie laughs. The Doctor looks at him]
- The Second Doctor: What are you smiling at, you hairy-legged Highlander?
- The Second Doctor: I'm just admiring your diplomatic skills.
- Peri: Can I get you anything? Celery! That's what you need!
- The Sixth Doctor: Celery, yes! And the tensile strength of jelly babies. But I... I had a clarinet. Or was it a flute? Something you blew into.
- Peri: A glass of water?
- The Sixth Doctor: Water? No, don't think so. A recorder!
- Peri: [to the sixth Doctor] Perhaps you should see a Doctor.
- The Sixth Doctor: Are you trying to be funny?
- Peri: No! It was just a suggestion.
- Peri: What did it mean, "Defense Alert"?
- The Sixth Doctor: Oh, the usual. Floor trips, electronic sensors, death rays, jets of nerve gas. Nothing to worry about.
- Peri: Oh, good. I-I was afraid it might mean something serious.
- The Sixth Doctor: As long as we keep out wits about us.
- The Sixth Doctor: [having survived the station's automated defense system's first attempt to kill them] I wonder what it will try next.
- Peri: You don't think it'll just leave us alone.
- The Sixth Doctor: Most unlikely. Think of it as a game between it and us.
- Peri: I love games, Doctor. Games where I'm not expecting to end up dead! Are you listening?
- Chessene: [newly come to Earth, scanning the grounds of a hacienda] Excellent! I detect only one occupant: A female.
- Shockeye: Oh, don't use the gas injector, Madam. They give the flesh an acrid taste. I'll slaughter it myself.
- Chessene: It might not be edible, Shockeye. I detect great age.
- [happily]
- Chessene: Come!
- Peri: [concerned over the station's automated defense system threatening their lives] It's getting awfully hot and stuffy in here, now.
- The Sixth Doctor: Yes. Having failed to freeze us to death, it's now trying to bake us! It appears to be a machine, with a distinctly limited repertoire.
- Peri: Well, who needs anything fancy? Oh, Doctor, we've got to get out of here.
- The Sixth Doctor: We have to do better than that. We have to find our way to the control centre and turn the wretched thing off!
- Peri: Well how are we gonna do that without being zapped on the way?
- The Sixth Doctor: "Zapped"? We're to find our way down into the infrastructure and work our way across. It'll be a cram, no doubt, but safer than going on the walkways.
- [searching through Dastari's desk]
- The Sixth Doctor: Oh, not so much as a paper clip! You'd think someone like Dastari would keep a few useful odds and ends around!
- Peri: Oh Doctor, it's absolutely stifling now.
- The Sixth Doctor: Yes. Yes it is getting a bit uncomfortable.
- [removes some paneling from wall]
- The Sixth Doctor: As I thought. I could trip this if I had a bit of wire!
- Peri: What are you trying to do?
- The Sixth Doctor: Save us from death by dehydration. That computer's been forced to turn the power on, but it hasn't energized the door locks. If only I could... A-ha!
- [hands her a banana while focusing on a sculpture]
- The Sixth Doctor: There you are.
- [pulls a piece of wire from a sculpture, uses it to trip the switch and the door opens]
- The Sixth Doctor: Voilà! You know, I don't know much about art, but I know what I like!
- The Sixth Doctor: [finds an opening in the wall paneling] Ah! This looks big enough to get down.
- Peri: Oh, can't we just take off?
- The Sixth Doctor: Not until I find out exactly what happened here!
- Peri: [finding a dead Androgum on floor] Doctor, look!
- The Sixth Doctor: We haven't got time to bother about dead Androgums, Peri.
- Peri: How do you know it's an Androgum?
- The Sixth Doctor: I know an Androgum when I see one. Come on! Right! It shouldn't be too far down. Just put your arms over you head and slide.
- Peri: But what happens if I get stuck?
- The Sixth Doctor: Shouldn't advise that. I'll be right behind you.
- Shockeye: [eating fruit. Spits it out] Insipid muck!
- Varl: Our leader is in decent orbit.
- Shockeye: Our leader is Chessene o' the Franzine Grig.
- Varl: Marshal Stike commands the Ninth Sontaran Battle Group!
- Shockeye: He doesn't command anything here. Chessene planned this operation.
- Varl: You will see! We Sontarans lead. We never follow.
- Shockeye: Tell him to come in on full mufflers. And that's an order from Chessene!
- Peri: Doctor! Over here!
- The Sixth Doctor: [busy rewiring] What is it?
- Peri: I-I don't know. Well, come and see!
- The Sixth Doctor: In a minute. There. That should just about have done it.
- Peri: Agh!
- The Sixth Doctor: Peri!
- [distracted, gas sprays the Doctor who then falls unconsciously into the infrastructure wiring]
- Shockeye: [about Jamie] Let me buy it from you.
- The Second Doctor: My companion is not for sale!
- Shockeye: I promise you, Lord, no chef in the nine planets would do more to bring out the flavor of the beast.
- Peri: I thought I heard something. I was trying to listen but you kept on talking.
- The Sixth Doctor: I was imparting a little information. When you ask questions, you listen to the answer, my girl, otherwise you will gain absolutely no benefit from being in my company. It is the province of knowledge to speak and the privilege of wisdom to listen.
