- The Doctor: [marveling over The Rani's ability to summon her TARDIS by remote control] The Rani IS a genius. Shame I can't stand her. I wonder if I was particularly nice to her she might... Nope!
- Guard: No sign of the Doctor, m' Lord, but I've met his bonnie lass.
- Lord Ravensworth: Devil take it! It was the Doctor I wanted to see.
- Peri: Well, that makes two of us.
- Lord Ravensworth: You must have some idea of his whereabouts.
- Peri: Oh, must I! He could be anywhere in the universe.
- Lord Ravensworth: Make sense, girl. Calm down and think. He can't just have disappeared.
- Peri: Oh, can't he!
- Lord Ravensworth: The man must be found. We need his help.
- Peri: Well, I've more reason to find him than you have. Otherwise I'm going to spend the rest of my days prancing around in these ridiculous skirts.
- The Doctor: [in regards to stepping on The Rani's transformation landmine] I should think you would turn into a Libernum tree.
- The Master: A libernum? Why?
- The Doctor: The pods are poisonous.
- The Rani: Experiments are always subject to the unexpected. They can be capricious.
- The Master: Capricious? Turning mice into monsters?
- The Rani: A marginal error, quickly corrected.
- The Master: The Time Lords didn't think so.
- The Rani: Petty spite on the part of the Lord President, just because they ate his cat.
- The Master: Hm. Took a chuck out of him, too, I remember.
- The Master: Wait... I refuse to run away and let that crack-brained freak win again.
- The Rani: Then stay, but without me.
- Lord Ravensworth: I will venture just on e question, Doctor. What precisely do you do in there?
- [referring to the TARDIS]
- The Doctor: Argue mainly.
