Colin Baker: The Doctor

Quotes 

• The Doctor : I didn't appear to be hurrying there, did I? But that deceptively easy gate of mine covers the ground at amazing speed.

  The Inquisitor : I did not interrupt the evidence to commend you on your athleticism, Doctor.

  The Doctor : Oh. Well, you can if you like. All compliments gratefully accepted.

• The Inquisitor : You will apologize at once!

  The Doctor : For telling the truth? Never!

  The Valeyard : The Doctor is well-known for these childish outbursts. I do not find the ramblings of an immature mind offensive.

  The Doctor : Immature?

  The Valeyard : It is that particular state of mind that has made it necessary for you to be brought to this court.

  The Doctor : Immature? I was on Ravolox trying to divert a catastrophe - the deaths of several hundred INNOCENT people. Surely, not even in the eyes of Time Lords, can that be deemed either immature or a crime!

• Drathro : All that you see is my creation.

  The Doctor : But there are several hundred people here as well, Drathro.

  Drathro : The work units exist only to serve me. Without me they would have no function.

  The Doctor : You can't see beyond the end of your tin nose, can you?

  Drathro : Is that of use?

• The Doctor : Everything in life has its purpose, Drathro. Every creature plays its part, but the purpose of life is too big to be knowable. A million computers couldn't solve that one.

• The Doctor : Strange how low cunning succeeds where intelligent reasoning fails.

  Sabalom Glitz : Don't knock low cunning, Doctor. You're still here, aren't you?
