Quotes 

• Group-Captain Gilmore : What am I dealing with? Little green men?

  The Doctor : No, little green blobs in bonded polycarbide armor.

• Ace : [driving the Doctor back to the school]  These Dayleks...

  The Doctor : Daleks.

  Ace : Oh, Daleks. Where are they from?

  The Doctor : From Skaro. At least originally. They're the mutated remains of a species called the Kaleds. Left here.

  Ace : When were they left here?

  The Doctor : No! Turn left here.

  Ace : Oh, right.

  The Doctor : No, left! You've missed the turning!

  Ace : What turn, where?

  The Doctor : Why don't you concentrate on where you're going?

  Ace : Well, I'm doing the best I can. If you don't like it, you drive!

• Ace : Professor, I'm hungry! Lack of food makes me hungry, you know.

  The Doctor : Lack of food makes you obstreperous!

• The Doctor : Listen to me, Brigadier!

  Group-Captain Gilmore : Group-Captain! Group-Captain Gilmore!

• [the doctor is locked in a basement with a Dalek] 

  The Doctor : Ace! Ace! Open the door! Ace, open...

  [He turns and sees the Dalek levitating up the stairs towards him] 

  Dalek : You are the Doctor! You are the enemy of the Daleks! You will be exterminated. EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

• Ace : So no more Daleks can be transported through here?

  The Doctor : Well, It'll slow them down a bit, until the operator can repair the systems.

  Ace : The Operator?

  The Doctor : Yes, the Daleks usually leave an operator on station in case of any malfunction.

  Ace : And... that would be another Dalek.

  The Doctor : [realizing]  Yes.

  [a Dalek appears] 

  Dalek : Stay... where... you... are! Do... not... move!

• The Doctor : Oi, Dalek! It's me, the Doctor! What's the matter, don't you recognise your mortal enemy?

• Group-Captain Gilmore : Doctor, my men have just put three high explosive grenades into a confined area. Nothing even remotely human could have survived that.

  The Seventh Doctor : That's exactly the point, Group-Captain. It isn't EVEN remotely human!

• Ace : What are you expecting to find down here, anyway?

  The Doctor : The unknown.

  Ace : Oh, isn't that a bit dangerous?

  The Doctor : Probably. But then if I knew what was down here, I wouldn't have to look.

• The Doctor : You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies.

• The Doctor : Your species has the most amazing capacity for self-deception, matched only by its ingenuity when trying to destroy itself.

• The Seventh Doctor : [the Doctor is knelt coughing on the ground having blown up a Dalek with some nitro-9 explosive. The fuse had a shorter time on it than Ace told him]  Ace! You said ten seconds.

  Ace : Nobody's perfect, Professor.

• [referring back to Ace's earlier, rather transparent denial of packing Nitro-9] 

  The Seventh Doctor : Ace, give me some of that Nitro-9 that you're not carrying. Quickly!
