First Doctor: Certainly not.
Fifth Doctor: It only happens in the gravest emergencies.
First Doctor: Like now.

[the second Doctor tries to get into U.N.I.T. headquarters]
Sergeant: I'm sorry, sir, you're not allowed in there!
Second Doctor: Not allowed? Me? I'm allowed everywhere!

Second Doctor: [the Second Doctor's visit of his old friend Brigadier Allister Gordon Lethgridge Stewart is drawing to a close] Now Brigadier I must bid hail and farewell. I shouldn't even be here at all. I'm not exactly breaking the laws of time but I am bending them a little.
Brigadier: [Nodding slightly] Yes. You never did care much for rules as I remember.

[K-9 senses danger]
K-9: And... the Doctor is involved.
Sarah: Now I know you're imagining things.

[last lines]
Tegan: You mean you're deliberately choosing to go on the run from your own people, in a rackety old TARDIS?

Second Doctor: Have faith, Brigadier. Have I ever led you astray?
Brigadier: On many occasions.

The Master: What makes you think I want your forgiveness?

The Master: A cosmos without The Doctor scarcely bears thinking about.

Fifth Doctor: [the first Doctor orders Tegan to get refreshments and she doesn't like it] Tegan! Tegan! Tegan! Humor him. I sometimes used to get a bit tetchy; fortunately one mellows with age.

[the second Doctor is peering around the office of Col.Chrichton, the Brigadiers replacement]
Second Doctor: You've had this room redecorated haven't you.
[shaking head]
Second Doctor: Don't like it.

Brigadier: [the second Doctor and the Brigadier have only just arrived in the Zone on Gallifrey] Charming spot Doctor.
Second Doctor: [crossly] My dear Brigadier, there's no use blaming me.
Brigadier: You attract trouble Doctor. You always did.

Susan: Oh, Grandfather it's wonderful to see you.
[they suddenly see a dalek's shadow]
Susan: Is this place Skaro?
First Doctor: Perhaps what brought us here brought the daleks too.
[the dalek appears]
First Doctor: Run!
Dalek Voice: You are enemies of the daleks! Exterminate! EXTERMINATE!

Second Doctor: Goodbye... fancypants!
Third Doctor: Scarecrow!

[the Doctor triggers a trap shaped like a checkered board with coins]
First Doctor: Nothing happens until you reach the fifth row, halfway, and then the entire board becomes a death trap.
The Master: [appears from the darkness] Our ancestors had such a wonderful sense of humor.
First Doctor: Do I know you, young man?
The Master: Believe it or not, we were at the academy together.

Second Doctor: So, you're the latest model?
Fifth Doctor: Yes, and the most agreeable.
Second Doctor: Well, certainly the most impudent.
Third Doctor: And our dress code hasn't improved much, has it?
First Doctor: Neither our manners.

[about the Master]
Susan: Is this man a friend of the Doctor?
Tegan: Anything but.
Susan: But they talk as if they're friends.
Tegan: That's what worries me.

Fifth Doctor: I'm certainly not the man I was. Thank goodness.
