- The Doctor: Right. Off we go into the wide blue yonder, as someone was once heard to remark.
- Polly Wright: Hooray.
- Ben Jackson: Yeah, I'm not sorry to be out of that place. Poo, Jamie you don't half stink of fish!
- Jamie McCrimmon: Oh, you want to take a wee sniff of yourself, Benjamin. He's not exactly a bonnie bunch of heather.
- [Ben laughs]
- The Doctor: You sound very happy, Jamie.
- Jamie McCrimmon: Oh aye, Doctor, I am now. You know I never thought I'd say this, but well it's great.
- Polly Wright: What is?
- Jamie McCrimmon: All this. I'll never know what makes it go, mind you, but, well at least I feel safe in here. It's only the wee things outside that are, well, alarming.
- The Doctor: You've got a point there.
- Ben Jackson: Yeah, you can say that again.
- Jamie McCrimmon: It's a fact, though, Doctor? You can't exactly control the TARDIS?
- The Doctor: Control it? Course I can control it.
- Jamie McCrimmon: No-no what I meant was, can you not exactly make it go where you mean it to?
- The Doctor: If I wanted to. It's just that I've never wanted to.
- Ben Jackson: Oh, yes, I bet.
- Polly Wright: Ooow.
- The Doctor: Right! Just for that, I'll show you. Now, where shall we go? I know, let's go to Mars.
- [the Doctor operates a control. The TARDIS lurches violently]
- Polly Wright: Aaah! Doctor, what's happening?
- Ben Jackson: Can't you do something?
- The Doctor: Do something? I seem to have done something. It's all your fault, wanting me to tamper with the steering. I'm very sorry, everybody, but I'm afraid the Tardis is out of control!
- Polly Wright: Aaaaaaaaaaah!
- Ben Jackson: Do you know what you're doing?
- The Doctor: Oh, what a question - of course I don't! There's no rule against trying, is there?
