- Doctor Who: [smiling] Gentlemen, I've got news for you: this lighthouse is under attack and by morning we might all be dead.
- [the Doctor lets out a small laugh]
- Doctor Who: Anyone interested?
- Skinsale: I kept my side of the bargain. I gave you the information you wanted. I was a fool and a scoundrel but I did it, and you tore up my I.O.U.'s.
- Lord Palmerdale: But what use is your blasted information if I can do nothing with it.
- Skinsale: [chuckles] Quite. Rather amusing, isn't it?
- Lord Palmerdale: I could still expose you.
- Skinsale: Yes, but if the information is never used, where's the proof I ever gave it? Aren't you forgetting something else?
- Lord Palmerdale: What?
- Skinsale: I'm an officer and a gentleman, Henry. You're a nobody - a jumped up little money-grubber, for all your title. Besmirch my good name and I'll sue you for every penny you've got. So, good night to you.
- Doctor Who: [having examined Ben's remains] Something wanted to make a detailed study of human anatomy.
- Doctor Who: [about the unseen alien] ... it keeps out of sight while it spies out the land, hoping to mount a successful attack.
- Leela: Then we are not facing an enemy who is bold.
- Doctor Who: No, but cunning.
- Lord Palmerdale: It's imperative that I reach London before the market opens.
- Doctor Who: [brightly] Ahh - you want to get to London!
- Lord Palmerdale: Yes, yes...
- Doctor Who: [after a pause] You've no chance in this fog.
