Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
Earthshock – Part 1
Scott: Take cover! Take cover! Behind the rocks!
(The two sides exchange fire.) Kyle: Who are they?
The Doctor: Androids. That's why they didn't register on your scanners.
Scott: Androids. Are they yours?
The Doctor: No. If you want proof, you'll find they'll kill me as willingly as they'll kill you.
(one of the androids fires at them and they duck behind the rock. Seconds later, the Doctor looks over the top of the rock again) See what I mean?
Kyle: That's them. I recognise that sound.
Scott: Those are the things that attacked you?
Kyle: Yes.
The Doctor: Do you know why?
Kyle: No, there isn't a reason.
The Doctor: Whoever's controlling the android thinks there is.
Earthshock – Part 2
(A drawing of the Tardis comes up on the holo-imager.) Cyberman: What is it?
Leader: A Tardis.
Cyberman: A Time Lord. But they're forbidden to interfere.
Leader: This one calls himself the Doctor, and does nothing else but interfere.
The Doctor 1 [on holoimager]: Emotions. Love, pride, hate, fear. Have you no emotions then?
Leader: It was in this regenerated form that he confined the Cybermen to their ice tomb on Telos.
The Doctor 2 [on holoimager]: I imagine you have orders to destroy me.
Leader: And as this, he defeated us in our attempt to destroy Voga, the planet of gold.
The Doctor 4 [on holoimager]: You've no home planet, no influence, nothing. You're just a pathetic bunch of tin soldiers skulking about the galaxy in an ancient spaceship.
Cyberman: I did not see any of these men in the cave.
Leader: It appears he has regenerated again, but whatever his form, he must be found and destroyed
Earthshock – Part 3
Tegan: Doctor! Adric!
The Doctor: Where did you come from?
Tegan: That thing caught me.
Adric: Where's Nyssa?
Tegan: She's safe. She's in the Tardis.
Leader: Who is this woman?
The Doctor: An Earthling. No one of consequence.
Tegan: Thanks a lot.
The Doctor: Be quiet.
Leader: She's one of your crew.
The Doctor: In a manner of speaking.
Leader: I see that Time Lords have emotional feelings.
The Doctor: Of sorts.
Leader: Surely a great weakness in one so powerful?
The Doctor: Emotions have their uses.
Leader: They restrict and curtail the intellect and logic of the mind.
The Doctor: They also enhance life! When did you last have the pleasure of smelling a flower, watching a sunset, eating a well-prepared meal?
Leader: These things are irrelevant.
The Doctor: For some people, small, beautiful events is what life is all about!
Earthshock – Part 4
Nyssa: Look out!
The Doctor: I must save Adric!
(Nyssa grabs the Cyberleader's weapon and shoots the Cyberman.) Tegan: Look!
Nyssa: Adric!
(The freighter plummets through the Earth's atmosphere, and goes KaBOOM! The Doctor turns the scanner off.) Tegan: Adric? Doctor! Oh, no.
(Nyssa and Tegan cry on each other's shoulders. The closing titles roll silently over a picture of Adric's broken gold star.)
