- Doctor Who: Would you like a jelly baby?
- Borg: SHUT UP!
- [knocks bag out of the Doctor's hand]
- Doctor Who: Well, a simple no thank you would have been sufficient.
- Uvanov: Yes, I suppose it's also a coincidence that, as soon as you two arrive, three of our people are killed. Well?
- Doctor Who: Oh, sorry, I thought it was a rhetorical qu... Yes, it's just a coincidence.
- Doctor Who: I have an uncomfortable feeling that, if the murderer doesn't kill us, the commander will. That is assuming they're not one and the same person.
- Uvanov: Look, either one of us murdered them or they did. Which do you think is more likely?
- Doctor Who: Ummm
- [clears throat]
- Doctor Who: there is one other possibility that you seem to have overlooked.
- Borg: We've heard quite enough out of you.
- Doctor Who: You know, you're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain.
- Uvanov: Oh, so we've caught one. Not soon enough, though
- [slaps Leela across the face]
- Leela: [Kicks Uvanov in the crotch] I didn't kill him, ask this thing.
- Uvanov: You'll have to do better than that. Who are you?
- Leela: Leela. Who are you?
- Uvanov: Why did you kill him?
- [Raises his hand]
- Leela: You try that again and I'll cripple you!
- Uvanov: Why did you kill him?
- Leela: I didn't.
- [to D84]
- Leela: Tell him!
- Uvanov: That is a single function labour robot. D class. D for "Dumb". It can't speak.
- Leela: Has anyone told him that?
- Uvanov: You have cost me and the company a great deal of money and you've killed three people. Can you think of any good reason why I should not have YOU executed on the spot?
- Leela: No, but you can otherwise you'd have done it.
- Uvanov: Don't get clever with me.
- Doctor Who: One of your robots could have done it.
- Poul: [laughs] And that's your great theory, is it?
- Doctor Who: Mmm.
- Poul: Well, my friend, robots cannot kill, their prime directive... .
- Doctor Who: I know, I know, I know, it's the first program that's laid into any robot's brain, from the simplest Dumb to most complex Super Voc. But suppose... suppose someone's found a way of bypassing it.
- Poul: It's impossible, it's just impossible.
- Doctor Who: Bumblebees.
- Poul: What?
- Doctor Who: Terran insects. Aerodynamically impossible for them to fly, but they do it. I'm rather fond of bumblebees.
