- The Doctor: I didn't appear to be hurrying there, did I? But that deceptively easy gate of mine covers the ground at amazing speed.
- The Inquisitor: I did not interrupt the evidence to commend you on your athleticism, Doctor.
- The Doctor: Oh. Well, you can if you like. All compliments gratefully accepted.
- The Inquisitor: You will apologize at once!
- The Doctor: For telling the truth? Never!
- The Valeyard: The Doctor is well-known for these childish outbursts. I do not find the ramblings of an immature mind offensive.
- The Doctor: Immature?
- The Valeyard: It is that particular state of mind that has made it necessary for you to be brought to this court.
- The Doctor: Immature? I was on Ravolox trying to divert a catastrophe - the deaths of several hundred INNOCENT people. Surely, not even in the eyes of Time Lords, can that be deemed either immature or a crime!
- Drathro: All that you see is my creation.
- The Doctor: But there are several hundred people here as well, Drathro.
- Drathro: The work units exist only to serve me. Without me they would have no function.
- The Doctor: You can't see beyond the end of your tin nose, can you?
- Drathro: Is that of use?
- The Doctor: Everything in life has its purpose, Drathro. Every creature plays its part, but the purpose of life is too big to be knowable. A million computers couldn't solve that one.
- The Doctor: Strange how low cunning succeeds where intelligent reasoning fails.
- Sabalom Glitz: Don't knock low cunning, Doctor. You're still here, aren't you?
