Quotes 

• The Sixth Doctor : Well, what's the use of a good quotation if you can't change it?

• Peri : [stepping from the TARDIS, breathing in]  Oh, doctor, it's foul. You... you sure it's safe?

  The Sixth Doctor : Plenty of oxygen.

  Peri : But it's that awful smell?

  The Sixth Doctor : Mainly decaying food... and corpses.

  Peri : And corpses?

  The Sixth Doctor : That is the smell of death, Peri. Ancient must, heavy in the air. Fruit-soft flesh peeling from white bones. The unholy, unburiable smell of Armageddon. There's nothing quite so evocative as one's sense of smell, is there?

  Peri : I feel sick.

• The Sixth Doctor : [the Sixth Doctor is fishing. Peri throws a stone into the water]  Don't do that! You'll frighten the fish!

  Peri : [throwing in another stone]  What fish?

• Peri : Can I get you anything? Celery! That's what you need!

  The Sixth Doctor : Celery, yes! And the tensile strength of jelly babies. But I... I had a clarinet. Or was it a flute? Something you blew into.

  Peri : A glass of water?

  The Sixth Doctor : Water? No, don't think so. A recorder!

• Peri : [to the sixth Doctor]  Perhaps you should see a Doctor.

  The Sixth Doctor : Are you trying to be funny?

  Peri : No! It was just a suggestion.

• Peri : What did it mean, "Defense Alert"?

  The Sixth Doctor : Oh, the usual. Floor trips, electronic sensors, death rays, jets of nerve gas. Nothing to worry about.

  Peri : Oh, good. I-I was afraid it might mean something serious.

  The Sixth Doctor : As long as we keep out wits about us.

• The Sixth Doctor : [having survived the station's automated defense system's first attempt to kill them]  I wonder what it will try next.

  Peri : You don't think it'll just leave us alone.

  The Sixth Doctor : Most unlikely. Think of it as a game between it and us.

  Peri : I love games, Doctor. Games where I'm not expecting to end up dead! Are you listening?

• Peri : [concerned over the station's automated defense system threatening their lives]  It's getting awfully hot and stuffy in here, now.

  The Sixth Doctor : Yes. Having failed to freeze us to death, it's now trying to bake us! It appears to be a machine, with a distinctly limited repertoire.

  Peri : Well, who needs anything fancy? Oh, Doctor, we've got to get out of here.

  The Sixth Doctor : We have to do better than that. We have to find our way to the control centre and turn the wretched thing off!

  Peri : Well how are we gonna do that without being zapped on the way?

  The Sixth Doctor : "Zapped"? We're to find our way down into the infrastructure and work our way across. It'll be a cram, no doubt, but safer than going on the walkways.

  [searching through Dastari's desk] 

  The Sixth Doctor : Oh, not so much as a paper clip! You'd think someone like Dastari would keep a few useful odds and ends around!

  Peri : Oh Doctor, it's absolutely stifling now.

  The Sixth Doctor : Yes. Yes it is getting a bit uncomfortable.

  [removes some paneling from wall] 

  The Sixth Doctor : As I thought. I could trip this if I had a bit of wire!

  Peri : What are you trying to do?

  The Sixth Doctor : Save us from death by dehydration. That computer's been forced to turn the power on, but it hasn't energized the door locks. If only I could... A-ha!

  [hands her a banana while focusing on a sculpture] 

  The Sixth Doctor : There you are.

  [pulls a piece of wire from a sculpture, uses it to trip the switch and the door opens] 

  The Sixth Doctor : Voilà! You know, I don't know much about art, but I know what I like!

• The Sixth Doctor : [finds an opening in the wall paneling]  Ah! This looks big enough to get down.

  Peri : Oh, can't we just take off?

  The Sixth Doctor : Not until I find out exactly what happened here!

  Peri : [finding a dead Androgum on floor]  Doctor, look!

  The Sixth Doctor : We haven't got time to bother about dead Androgums, Peri.

  Peri : How do you know it's an Androgum?

  The Sixth Doctor : I know an Androgum when I see one. Come on! Right! It shouldn't be too far down. Just put your arms over you head and slide.

  Peri : But what happens if I get stuck?

  The Sixth Doctor : Shouldn't advise that. I'll be right behind you.

• Peri : Doctor! Over here!

  The Sixth Doctor : [busy rewiring]  What is it?

  Peri : I-I don't know. Well, come and see!

  The Sixth Doctor : In a minute. There. That should just about have done it.

  Peri : Agh!

  The Sixth Doctor : Peri!

  [distracted, gas sprays the Doctor who then falls unconsciously into the infrastructure wiring] 

• Peri : I thought I heard something. I was trying to listen but you kept on talking.

  The Sixth Doctor : I was imparting a little information. When you ask questions, you listen to the answer, my girl, otherwise you will gain absolutely no benefit from being in my company. It is the province of knowledge to speak and the privilege of wisdom to listen.
