• The Doctor : Ah, Brigadier, quickly think: Did you go into the TARDIS with Tegan and Nyssa?

  Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart : Well, I can't remember. Does it really matter?

  The Doctor : Of course it matters! Can you imagine what would happen if you walked out of the TARDIS in 1977 and met yourself in 1983?

  Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart : Oh, that's ridiculous.

  The Doctor : It's not ridiculous, Brigadier. Almost certainly catastrophic.

  Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart : What do you mean? That I could be two people?

  The Doctor : Obviously. You'd exist twice over, and if the two of you met you'd short out the time differential, don't you see? The Blinovitch Limitation Time Effect? Oh, dear. As Tegan would say - zap!

• The Doctor : The transmat could be dangerous.

  Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart : I'm coming with you.

  The Doctor : If you insist.

  Vislor Turlough : And so am I.

  Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart : Oh, don't be ridiculous, Turlough.

  Vislor Turlough : The Doctor needs my help. And, besides, how do I explain to the Headmaster where you've gone?

  The Doctor : Turlough could be useful.

  Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart : And what about the danger you implied?

  The Doctor : It still exists, but if you're so concerned about Turlough, set an example and stay behind.
