Quotes1

  • The Doctor: Now then, what about me?
  • First Time Lord: We have accepted your plea that there is evil in the universe that must be fought and that you still have a part to play in that battle.
  • The Doctor: What what, you mean... that you're going to let me go free?
  • [the Time Lords share a glance]
  • First Time Lord: Not entirely. We have noted your particular interest in the planet Earth. The frequency of you visits must have given you special knowledge of that world and it's problems.
  • The Doctor: Yes, I suppose that's true... Earth seems more vulnerable than others, yes.
  • First Time Lord: For that reason you will be sent back to that planet.
  • The Doctor: [sighs with relief] Oh, good.
  • First Time Lord: In exile.
  • The Doctor: [stunned] In exile?
  • First Time Lord: You will be sent to Earth in the twentieth century and will remain there for as long as we deem proper, and for that period the secret of the TARDIS will be taken from you.
  • The Doctor: But you, you can't condemn me to exile on one primitive planet in one century in time! Besides, I'm known on the Earth. It might be very awkward for me!
  • First Time Lord: Your appearance has changed before, it will change again that is part of the sentence.
  • The Doctor: You can't just change what I look like without consulting me!
  • First Time Lord: You will be given the opportunity to choose your appearance.
  • The Doctor: Oh, well, that's not so bad - but I warn you, I'm very particular!
  • First Time Lord: Here is your first choice.
  • [the Doctor is shown various drawings on the monitor screen of possible forms that he could take on after his new regeneration]
  • The Doctor: Oh, he's too old! Well, he's too fat, isn't he! No! He's too thin! That one's too young! Oh, now that won't do at all! This is ridiculous!
  • First Time Lord: You're wasting time, Doctor.
  • The Doctor: It's not my fault, is it? Is this the best you can do? I've never seen such an incredible bunch!
  • First Time Lord: Since you refuse to take the decision, the decision will be taken for you.
  • The Doctor: No, no, no, I never said that! But I maintain I have a right to decide what I look like! It could be very important on the Earth the people on Earth
  • [the Doctor's words begin to slur]
  • The Doctor: attach a very great deal of importance...
  • [the Doctor's face appears in a dark void]
  • The Doctor: Aaaarrgh! What's happening?
  • [Faces of the Doctor's begin to kaleidoscope and spin around his actual face]
  • The Doctor: What's hap... What's happened?
  • First Time Lord: [voice over] The time has come for you to change your appearance, Doctor, and begin your exile.
  • [last lines]
  • The Doctor: Is this some sort of joke? No, I refuse to be treated in... What are you doing?
  • [the Doctor begins to spin around and around getting smaller and smaller]
  • The Doctor: Nnnooo! Stop, you're making me giddy! No, you can't do this to me! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..!
  • [the Doctor vanishes]
