- Marriner: Accidents will happen.
- The Doctor: Especially to anyone who challenges Captain Wrack and the Buccaneer.
- Marriner: What?
- The Doctor: Have you forgotten the Greek who challenged Wrack's ship? Wonder if the same thing will happen to us.
- The Doctor: These creatures have vast powers, that's why none of them must win. To achieve further power would be a disaster.
- Turlough: But the other ships - you can't stop all of them.
- The Doctor: We can but try.
