Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
The Underwater Menace – Episode 1
Jamie:
[upon entering the TARDIS for the first time, he looks around him. The central column rises and falls] What's this?
The Doctor: You'll find out.
[operates the controls] Jamie: Ah, I don't think I want to.
Ben: It's a machine, my old haggis; it's taken you away from Scotland forever.
Jamie: Where to?
Ben: Ah, well, that as the Doctor would say, that is in the lap of the gods. We never know.
Jamie: Ah, you'd not be leading me on now, would you? It's a fact; you don't know where we're going?
Polly: Quite true, and what's more we don't even know what year it will be either.
Jamie: Och, now, I don't believe it.
The Doctor: "Nae man can tether time nor tide" - Robert Burns.
Jamie: Hey? Who's Robert Burns?
The Doctor: Oh, I should have remembered.
Polly: What?
The Doctor: Well to Jamie, it's seventeen forty six. Robert Burns wasn't born until seventeen fifty nine.
Ben: It's all complicated, isn't it?
Jamie: What's happening now?
The Doctor: We're just beginning to land. Hold tight, everyone.
Jamie: Land?
Polly: Don't be scared, Jamie, it's alright, really.
Ben: I get a sort of queer feeling. See, we never know what we're going to find, do we?
The Doctor: Ah that's the fun. Stand by, here we go.
Polly: Please let it be Chelsea nineteen sixty six.
Ben: Hope it's the Daleks, I don't think.
The Doctor: Prehistoric monsters...

Damon:
[close-ups of hypodermic being filled from a bottle] One tiny jab, and you'll know nothing more about it until it's all over.
[Polly sobs. Damon prepares to inject her, but is disturbed by the lights flickering] The lights are playing up again. Go and see what's wrong.
Damon's Assistant: Right.
Damon: No wait. I'd better go myself. Zaroff might listen to me. Look after the girl
Damon's Assistant: Right.
