Quotes 

• The Doctor : [Klieg is holding The Doctor, Jamie, and Toberman at gunpoint]  Yes. As you say, such a combination between intelligence and... *power* would make you formidable indeed. Why, you would be... Commander of the *Universe* with your brilliance! It... It makes the imagination reel with the possibilities!

  Eric Klieg : Why, Doctor, if I had only known you shared my imagination, you might even have worked for me.

  The Doctor : Perhaps it's not too late.

  Jamie : Doctor!

  The Doctor : No, Jamie. Don't you see? Don't you see what this is going to mean to all the people who come to serve... Klieg - the All-Powerful? Why, no country, no person, would dare to have a single thought that was not your own! - Eric Klieg's own conception of the... *Of the way of life!*

  Eric Klieg : Brilliant! Yes. Yes, you're right! Master of the world!

  The Doctor : Well, now I know you're mad; I just wanted to make sure.

• Professor Parry : You've killed him, you murderer.

  Eric Klieg : No, he is fortunate. I spared him.

  Jamie : You mean you missed him.

  Eric Klieg : Silence! I could have destroyed him if I wanted to. Shall I kill them now?

  Kaftan : No, no, that will not be necessary. I'm sure the Cybermen will have a good use for them. You will make excellent experimental specimens.

  [Jim Callum sobs] 

  Victoria : Oh, let me help him, please!

  Eric Klieg : No tricks.
