Quotes 

• 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!
