Quotes9

  • Fifth Doctor: A man is the sum of his memories. A Time Lord even more so.
  • [last lines]
  • Tegan: You mean you're deliberately choosing to go on the run from your own people, in a rackety old TARDIS?
  • Fifth Doctor: Why not? After all, that's how it all started.
  • The Master: I know this is going to be hard to believe, Doctor, but for once I mean you no harm.
  • Fifth Doctor: Like Alice, I try to believe three impossible things before breakfast.
  • Rassilon: Others have claimed immortality throughout the ages. It was given to them as it shall be given to you. Your place is prepared, Lord President Borusa.
  • Borusa: Oh! Oh!
  • [Lord Borusa looks backwards at the space Lord Rassilon has prepared for him. His face appears etched in stone. Lord Borusa's eyes twitch before turning to stone]
  • Rassilon: And what of you, Doctors? Do you claim immortality too?
  • First Doctor: No!
  • Second Doctor: No, no!
  • Third Doctor: No!
  • Fifth Doctor: That's quite alright.
  • First Doctor: As it happens, I am the Doctor. The original, you might say!
  • Tegan: But you shouldn't be here at the same time, with him.
  • First Doctor: Certainly not.
  • Fifth Doctor: It only happens in the gravest emergencies.
  • First Doctor: Like now.
  • Fifth Doctor: [the First Doctor orders Tegan to get refreshments and she doesn't like it] Tegan! Tegan! Tegan! Humour him. I sometimes used to get a bit tetchy; fortunately one mellows with age.
  • Second Doctor: So, you're the latest model?
  • Fifth Doctor: Yes, and the most agreeable.
  • Second Doctor: Well, certainly the most impudent.
  • Third Doctor: And our dress code hasn't improved much, has it?
  • First Doctor: Neither our manners.
  • Fifth Doctor: I'm certainly not the man I was. Thank goodness.
  • Second Doctor: We can't allow it, you know.
  • Third Doctor: The tomb is sealed for the best of reasons.
  • First Doctor: And when we get back to our own time-streams, it must be sealed again.
  • Second Doctor: Doctor, we need you! Join us!
  • First Doctor: He can't. It's some kind of mind lock. Fight it, my boy, fight it! Concentrate!
  • Second Doctor: We must be one!
  • Fifth Doctor: [the first three Doctors break Borusa's control over the Fifth Doctor] You see, Borusa? Together, we're a match for you!
  • Borusa: Perhaps, but you will never overcome it.
  • Fifth Doctor: But Chancellor Flavia will be here with her guards... or will you overcome the entire High Council?
  • Rassilon: [suddenly appearing as a hologram above the crypt] This is the Game of Rassilon!
  • Borusa: I am Borusa, Lord and President of Gallifrey.
  • Rassilon: Why have you come here?
  • Borusa: I come to claim that which is promised.
  • Rassilon: You seek immortality?
  • Borusa: Yes.
  • Rassilon: And who are these three?
  • Borusa: These are my servants.
  • Second Doctor: [angrily] We most certainly are not!
  • Third Doctor: Don't believe him!
  • Fifth Doctor: That's nonsense!
  • First Doctor: Don't believe them, Lord Rassilon! President Borusa speaks the truth!
  • Rassilon: You believe that President Borusa deserves the immortality he seeks?
  • First Doctor: Indeed I do.
  • Rassilon: He shall have it. Take the ring. Do you claim immortality, Lord Borusa? You will not turn back?
  • Borusa: Never!
