Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
Attack Of The Cybermen – Part 1
Leader: How did you know where to find us?
Lytton: You have a ship hidden on the dark side of the moon. I tracked your transmissions.
Leader: Inform Moonbase our signals are being detected. They must increase the distortion.
Lytton: You're quite safe. Earth authorities can't pick up your signals. It's beyond their technology.
Cyberman: You were capable.
Lytton: I am not from Earth.
Leader: So you have said.
Cyberman: But where do you come from?
Lytton: Vita Fifteen, in the star system six nine zero.
Leader: What is the name of your satellite?
Lytton: Riften Five.
Leader: I have heard of that place. It is occupied by a race of warriors.
Cyberman: Who fight only for money, Leader. He is not to be trusted.
Lytton: Listen to me.
Cyberman: You will show respect to the Leader.
Lytton: I will do more than that. I will serve him, aid you in your cause.
Leader: If that is true, when you become as we are, you will serve the Cyber race well.
Lytton: Oh, no, as myself. You forget, Leader, I have been tracking your transmissions. I know why you're here.
Cyberman: He must be destroyed. He says he comes to aid us yet he carries weapons.
Lytton: My gun was used in your cause. I didn't know he was armed.
Leader: You should not have brought others.
Lytton: I brought them as gifts for you to turn into Cybermen.
Cyberman: He lies, Leader.
Leader: Silence. There is logic in what he says. If he had wished our destruction, he could have betrayed our cause to Earth authorities.
Lytton: Precisely.
Leader: The Cyber Controller can decide their fate.
Lytton: Thank you, Leader. Where will I have the honour of meeting him?
Leader: If you know of our activities, you will know where he is.
Lytton: I assume he is still on the planet Telos.
Leader: He is.

Russell: What's this, then?
The Doctor: A sonic lance. How much longer do we have to maintain this ridiculous posture? We've told you all we know.
Peri: Which is more than you have. Who are you?
Russell: Police.
Peri: Yeah.
The Doctor: Can you prove that?
Russell: Put your hands back on the wall.
(The Doctor tackles Russell, knocking him down.)
The Doctor: Peri, gun! (The Doctor retrieves his sonic lance.) Sorry about that, but we weren't getting very far with me playing patty-cake with the wall.
Russell: Who are you?
The Doctor: I've already told you. I am known as the Doctor. I'm also a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous.
Russell: You're bonkers.
The Doctor: That's debatable, but I'm also telling the truth. The question is, are you?
Russell: Yes.
The Doctor: And what are you doing down here?
Russell: Robbing a diamond merchants.
Peri: I thought the police were supposed to uphold the law?
Russell: Oh, they do, most of the time.
The Doctor: You're beginning to annoy me.
Russell: The truth wouldn't make much sense to you.
The Doctor: Try me. Oh, I've had enough of this. Shoot him, Peri.
Peri: For real?
The Doctor: Yeah, shoot him.
Russell: You murder a police officer, you'll get thirty years.
The Doctor: Handful of heartbeats to a Time Lord.
Peri: Oh, please tell him what he wants to know. I'm sure it can't be that important.
Russell: I'm here to observe the activities of a white male suspect known as Lytton.
The Doctor: Lytton? Tall, lean, dark, dark, well-spoken? The sort of man who might shoot his mother just to keep his trigger finger supple?
Russell: It's a more colourful description, but it could be him.
The Doctor: Commander Lytton, late of the Dalek Task Force.
Russell: Dalek?
The Doctor: I should have guessed when we were attacked by those uniformed policemen. How'd you get onto him?
Russell: What? Oh, there was a raid on an electronics firm. Some rather specialised stuff was removed.
Peri: I think we know where it went.
Russell: Oh. Well, you'll be pleased to hear there's a reward.
The Doctor: Just get on with your story.
Russell: Well, there was a whisper on the street that the job was down to Lytton, only we'd never heard of him.
The Doctor: Just as if he'd come from another planet.
Russell: Huh, perhaps he might have. When we checked there was no record of his birth, school, driving licence, tax, nothing. Under normal circumstances we'd have just picked him up.
The Doctor: But you were curious. You wanted to know more about him. An act we may all live to regret. Not only is he from another planet, but he's also a professional killer.
Attack Of The Cybermen – Part 2
The Doctor: Mondas, the Cyber planet, was destroyed.
Lytton: But tell them how it was destroyed.
The Doctor: You're enjoying this.
Lytton: It's not often I have the opportunity to watch a Time Lord squirm.
The Doctor: It blew up.
Lytton: Whilst it was attacking Earth.
Griffiths: What?
Lytton: Tell them when.
The Doctor: Take no notice of him. He's just trying to unnerve you. Your planet survived the attack.
Peri: When did it happen?
The Doctor: 1986.
Griffiths: Next year? That's almost now.
The Doctor: You could put it that way.
Peri: Well, you must do something. Inform Earth, tell them it's coming. I mean, what's happening to us now must have something to do with that.
The Doctor: How can I do anything? I'm a prisoner.
Lytton: Even if he were free, he couldn't. He would transgress the laws of time.
Peri: You interfere continually.
The Doctor: Not to that extent. Even I have to be careful.
Lytton: The Time Lords would have him destroyed.
The Doctor: And that would please you. Look, don't worry. Earth survived with minimal damage. It's an historical fact.
Lytton: Yes, it's now become part of the web of time in the same way that the Cryons were destroyed.
Peri: I'm not interested in the Cryons.
Lytton: Hmm. There's compassion for you.
Peri: I didn't mean it like that. I'm confused.
Griffiths: So am I. I mean, how can a planet travel around off its orbit?
The Doctor: Mondas had a propulsion unit. A tribute to Cyber engineering. Though why they should want to push a planet through space, I've no idea.

(Lytton watches a blue police box materialise in the room. There are no complete Cybermen present. The Doctor comes out and goes over to him.)
Lytton: I know you.
The Doctor: That's right. And I'm just beginning to find out about you.
Lytton: Did you put the sonic lance to good use?
The Doctor: I did. Why didn't you say something?
Lytton: Now you must kill me.
The Doctor: I can help you. Hang on.
Lytton: The drug is affecting my brain. Irreversible damage.
(The Doctor takes a sharp instrument from a computer console.)
The Doctor: I'm the Doctor. I'll tell you if its irreversible or not. Now just hang on.
Lytton: I did my best. I kept my word.
(The Doctor starts trying to disconnect Lytton from the alcove systems.)
The Doctor: I know.
Lytton: Please, Doctor. Kill me.
(The Cyber Controller enters, weapon ready.)
Controller: Move away from him, Doctor. (The Doctor puts the knife in Lytton's hand.) Emotion is a weakness.
The Doctor: I don't think so.
Controller: It brought you back for your friend and it will cost you your life.
(The Controller comes closer. Lytton stabs it in the arm, severing a fluid tube. Green spurts everywhere as Lytton stabs again and again. The Doctor scrambles for the Controller's gun and shoots a Cyberman who enters the room. It spins round into the one behind it and the Doctor shoots it, too. Then the Controller starts flailing around, knocking the Doctor across the room. He grabs another gun and shoots it. The Controller's chest plate explodes satisfactorily. Peri has watched all this on the scanner. She comes out and joins the Doctor by the fallen Lytton.)
The Doctor: I must help him.
Peri: It's too late, Doctor. He's dead.
The Doctor: I can't just leave him.
Peri: You must. There's nothing you can do.
The Doctor: Why didn't he say something?
Peri: You never gave him a chance.
