  • Policeman: [the Doctor flashes the Psychic Paper at him] Oh... sorry sir. Shouldn't you be at the Coronation?
  • The Doctor: [looks back whilst running] They're saving me a seat!
  • Tommy: Who did he think you were?
  • The Doctor: [looking at the Psychic Paper] King of Belgium, apparently.
  • Tommy: We don't even know where to start looking. It's too late.
  • The Doctor: "It's never too late," as a wise person once said. Kylie, I think.
  • The Doctor: [after breaking into Magpie's shop] If you're here, come out and talk to me! MAGPIE!
  • Tommy: Maybe he's out?
  • The Doctor: Looks like it.
  • [finds a small black box resembling an old portable TV]
  • The Doctor: Oh, hello. This isn't right. This is very much not right.
  • [licks it]
  • The Doctor: Tastes like iron. Bakelite. Put together with human hands, yes, but the design itself...
  • [scans it with his Sonic Screwdriver]
  • The Doctor: Oh, beautiful work! That is so simple!
  • Bishop: That's incredible, it's like a television, but portable! A portable television!
  • Tommy: What are you?
  • The Wire: I'm the Wire. And I will gobble you up, pretty boy. Every last morsel.
  • [the TV image becomes colour]
  • The Wire: And when I have feasted, I shall regain the corporeal body which my fellow kind denied me.
  • Bishop: Good Lord! Colour television!
