Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
Warriors Of The Deep – Part 1
Tegan: What's that noise?
The Doctor : Yes, of course. A Sea Base.
(The Doctor tries to rub dirt off a sign on a bulkhead door.) Turlough: Doctor.
(Turlough offers a handkerchief.) The Doctor : Oh, thank you.
(Chemical store.) Ah ha. That, Turlough, was the all clear.
Tegan: Must be some kind of research station.
The Doctor : No, no, it's a Sea Base. A rather special kind of undersea military colony. Help me get this open, would you? Armed with the sort of missiles that kill life but leave everything else intact.
(The Doctor and Turlough push at the door, but it refuses to move. Tegan gently slides it to one side and goes through.) Warriors Of The Deep – Part 2
Tegan: When did you meet the Silurians, Doctor?
The Doctor : A long time ago. I let them down then, it seems I'll do so again.
Tegan: Are they hostile?
The Doctor : They're honourable. All they ever wanted to do was live in peace.
Warriors Of The Deep – Part 3
Preston: I suppose you know what you're doing.
The Doctor : The Myrka is a creature of the inkiest depths, or it was until the Silurians tinkered with its biology. Anyway, it has little tolerance to light and hopefully none at all to ultraviolet rays.
Tegan: Can you be sure?
The Doctor : No, Tegan. Perhaps you should ask it nicely to go away.
Warriors Of The Deep – Part 4
The Doctor : Watch the doors.
(The Doctor goes straight to the racks of hexachromite tanks.) Tegan: What are we looking for?
The Doctor : An alternative to this. Something less lethal that will do the job just as well.
Preston: Do you know what the Silurians want?
The Doctor : Oh yes, all in all they were very forthcoming, really. They intend to launch your missiles and trigger a war to end all wars, between your people, of course.
Turlough: Doctor!
(Everyone scatters and hides as a Sea Devil enters. The Doctor knocks something over and it turns towards him, then fires. The energy bolt punctures a hexachromite tank and the gas kills it, then dissolves its inner organs, which leak out as green goo from its eyes and nose. Everyone comes out of hiding.) Preston: What happened?
The Doctor : Hexachromite. It does that to all reptile life.
Preston: Then use it on the invaders.
The Doctor : And kill them?
Preston: Why not? They're about to start a war that will destroy everyone on Earth.
The Doctor : I sometimes wonder why I like the people of this miserable planet so much. The Silurians and Sea Devils are noble races. They have skills and talents you pathetic humans can only dream about.
Turlough: That doesn't alter what they're about to do.
The Doctor : No. No, and we must stop them.
Tegan: What's the alternative?
The Doctor : Something that will disable rather than kill.
