Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
The Daemons – Episode 1
Miss Hawthorne: He died of fright, Doctor.
Dr. Reeves: My dear Miss Hawthorne
Miss Hawthorne: I don't care what you say. The man died of fright!
Dr. Reeves: My dear Miss Hawthorne, the medical diagnosis was quite clear. He died of a heart attack.
Miss Hawthorne: But his face?
Dr. Reeves: Slight protrusion of the eyeballs, rictus drawing of the lips back over the teeth. Common enough in heart failure.
Miss Hawthorne: The signs are there for all to see! I cast the runes only this morning.
Dr. Reeves: You'll have to excuse me. I have my rounds to do.
(Doctor Reeves gets into his car.) Miss Hawthorne: If Professor Horner opens up that barrow, he will bring disaster on us all!
(Reeves drives away.) This is just the beginning!
The Daemons – Episode 2
Yates: It was this fellow, Garvin, who did him over?
Miss Hawthorne: No, no, no, it was the elementals in the cavern.
The Doctor: Elementals?
Miss Hawthorne: Yes, creatures of the Devil.
Yates: Did you say the Devil?*
Miss Hawthorne: Yes, dear boy. Satan, Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness, Beelzebub, the Horned Beast. Call him what you like, he was there.
The Doctor: You saw the Devil?
Miss Hawthorne: Yes.
The Doctor: And what did he look like?
Miss Hawthorne: Well, it was a glimpse, no more. Twenty, thirty feet high, but the horns were there, and that face.
Jo: The Devil?
The Doctor: Look, Miss Hawthorne, I agreed with you from the first about the danger, but now I think you're utterly mistaken. Whatever else you saw it certainly was not the Devil.
Miss Hawthorne: But it was! There's a Satanist cult in this village and last night they held a sabbat.
Yates: A sabbat?
Miss Hawthorne: Yes, an occult ceremony to call up the Devil.
Jo: And it worked! The Devil came!
The Doctor: Nonsense, Jo. Miss Hawthorne, who is the leader of this cult?
Miss Hawthorne: The new vicar. He calls himself Magister.
The Doctor: Magister. Yes, of course, I should have known.
Jo: What?
The Doctor: Jo, did you fail Latin as well as science? Magister is the Latin word for Master!
The Daemons – Episode 3
Jo: Of all the idiotic plans. As if blowing things up solves anything.
The Doctor: Jo, the Brigadier is doing his best to cope with an almost impossible situation. And since he is your superior officer, you might at least show him a little respect. Coming?
The Daemons – Episode 4
The Doctor: No, man, no. You're trying to channel the entire output of the National Power Complex through one transistor. Reverse it.
Osgood: Reverse what?
The Doctor: Reverse the polarity.
Osgood: Look, we'd get along much faster if we knew what we were doing.
The Doctor: Yes, I couldn't agree with you more, Sergeant. Now let's concentrate, shall we?
The Daemons – Episode 5
The Brigadier: Where's the Doctor?
Yates: Gone in there, sir.
The Brigadier: Then what are we waiting for? Let's get after him.
Yates: Wait, sir. Look.
(Bok is watching the newcomers.) The Brigadier: What the blazes is that? Some kind of ornament?
Yates: Not exactly, sir. Watch.
(Yates throws a rock at Bok, who zaps it into atoms.) The Brigadier: Yes, I see what you mean. Never mind, we'll soon fix him. Jenkins!
Jenkins: Sir.
The Brigadier: Chap with the wings there. Five rounds rapid.
