- Dr. Who: Well, if you're going, be off with you!
- Ian Chesterton: Look Doctor, I think it'd be better if you came with us, at least to explore.
- Dr. Who: It's out of the question. I refuse to leave the ship!
- Ian Chesterton: Maybe you have succeeded. Maybe we are where you say we are. But, I remember an occasion, when you took us home once before.
- Barbara Wright: [laughing] Yes, and we met Marco Polo!
- Dr. Who: Entirely different circumstances! I'm rather tired of your insinuations that I am not master of this craft. Oh, I admit, it did develop a fault, - a minor fault on one occasion, perhaps twice. But, nothing I couldn't control.
- Ian Chesterton: I know that. Of course you're in control. You're always in control. And I'm sure you could revisit us at any time.
- Dr. Who: Very simple. Quite simple!
- Ian Chesterton: Exactly, quite simple. But you have your important researches to complete. You may not find the time. There's a chance that we won't meet again. Don't you think it would be better if we parted under more friendly circumstances, say, over a drink?
- Ian Chesterton: Now, wait a minute. The Doctor's put us down, right in the middle of the French Revolution.
- Barbara Wright: Yes, the Reign Of Terror.
- Ian Chesterton: Are you so certain you know where we are?
- Dr. Who: Certain? Of course I'm certain! If you doubt me, take a look for yourself.

- Barbara Wright: You know, I'm certain that we're some time in the past.
- Ian Chesterton: Yes. Well, we were a hundred miles out, perhaps we're a hundred years out as well.
- Dr. Who: Oh, rubbish! Rubbish!
- Barbara Wright: Well, it's possible.
- Barbara Wright: Well, we're still not home.
- Ian Chesterton: No, we're not are we? Still I do think he tried this time, even if it was out of bad temper.
- Barbara Wright: So we stay with the ship?
- Ian Chesterton: Yes. It cheered Susan up, hasn't it?
- Barbara Wright: Well, are you disappointed?
- Ian Chesterton: Hmm... Funnily enough, no. I don't know. Depends where we are. I still could be.
- Susan Foreman: We might not get back to the ship if Grandfather hears we're in the Reign Of Terror.
- Ian Chesterton: Why not?
- Susan Foreman: It's his favorite period in the history of Earth.
