Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
Meglos – Part 1
The Doctor: He'd better not go in the sea in future. He's likely to get into deep water, you know.
Romana: It was hardly his fault that someone neglected to sea-proof him.
The Doctor: Quite. Can you remember where I left his manual?
Romana: Yes, of course.
On the floor under the coat stand. Oh, I hope he's going to be all right. We're going to need him on Tigella.
The Doctor: Why? They're not hostile.
Romana: The plants are. Lush, aggressive vegetation.
The Doctor: You mustn't believe everything you read in books.
Romana: It says in the history books that it was the lush, aggressive vegetation that forced the Tigellans to retreat beneath the surface. You must have seen it last time you were there.
The Doctor: It was reasonably friendly to me. Mind you, it was a long time ago.
Romana finds the page in the manual. Romana: Post repair test questions.
The Doctor takes the book from her. The Doctor: Ahem. Post repair test questions. K9, can you hear me?
K9: Affirmative,
(pause) mistress.
The Doctor: That's a promising start.
Meglos – Part 2
The Doctor: Hello there, I'm the Doctor. I'm expected.
Guard: I didn't see you go out.
The Doctor: What?
Guard: This is the second time you've been in here.
The Doctor: I say, you've got a marvellous memory. It must be fifty of your years since I was last here
Meglos – Part 3
Lexa: Even if this girl exists, it will prove nothing.
Zastor: And he won't even admit to taking the Deon oath and entering the Power room.
The Doctor: I think I see the problem.
Deedrix: I'm going to seal off the city. We'll search every area.
The Doctor: No, no, no, no, wait. Wait! Wait. There are three possibilities.
Zastor: What do you mean?
The Doctor: One, the chronic hysteresis. I've never been in one before but it just might have projected a time image of me. It's theoretically possible, isn't it?
Lexa: You'll have to do better than that, Doctor.
The Doctor: Ah.
Lexa: I think you're a fraud and a liar.
The Doctor: Well, that makes even less sense.
Lexa: Oh? Why?
The Doctor: Well, you see, I just don't do that sort of thing.
Zastor: And the third possibility?
The Doctor: I think what we've got here is a good old-fashioned doppelganger.
Meglos – Part 4
Romana comes out of the Tardis. Romana: Gallifrey.
The Doctor: What?
Romana: They want us back immediately.
She goes back into the Tardis. The Doctor: Gallifrey? Do they, indeed. Well, we'll see about that when we've dropped our friend off home. Unless, of course, you want to stay here and do some gardening?
Earthling: Maybe I will. I'll be in trouble back home.
The Doctor: Oh?
Earthling: I told the wife I'd be in from work in twenty minutes.
The Doctor: Well, don't worry about that. We can get you back before you leave.
Earthling: Oh, good.
