Well, since I am still in the throes of pre-finals, and since someone complained about the gruesome nature of the last post's Doctor quote, I thought I'd throw out some non-gruesome (but very funny) quotes from the show when Tom Baker was the Doc. These are from The Revenge of the Cybermen. Most of them are Harry and Sarah, who I think a pretty hilarious combination of companions. I wish they'd do something similar with the current season.

Sarah and Harry are transported to a strange planet without the Doctor. Harry stops to speculate what he could do with a large chunk of gold he has found, and as they linger they are captured by the rather cheesily strange inhabitants:

Sarah: The Doctor will be worrying about us.
Harry: I'M worrying about us!

The planet whose inhabitants have captured them is made of gold. They are chained up and left to sit, awaiting their death sentence:

Harry: Sarah, these chains are solid gold!
Sarah: Harry, will you just shut up about your rotten gold?!
Harry: Maybe four karat by the looks of it...
Sarah: It's because of the gold we're in this mess!
Harry: I was just thinking...
Sarah: Well, don't!

They use a rock to bend the gold and try to get out of the chains...

Harry: The gold! It's flattening!
Sarah: So's my ankle!

Of course they eventually get the chains off, but are stopped by weird creatures with guns:

Harry: This looks like the end, Sarah.
Sarah: That's one thing about you, Harry: you never miss the obvious.

And finally, the Doctor shares his policy on ideas:

Doctor: I think my idea's better.
Crewman: What's your idea?
Doctor: I don't know yet. That's the problem with ideas. They only come a bit at a time.

   lol on your quotes...
   haven't seen that episode yet... :(
   just watched Castrovalva the first one with the fifth doctor. The Doctor.'s regeneration did not go well, so his companions are taking him to Castrovalva (because the computer says it will help). Anyway, he's wandering, trying to remember his companions..."There was Teagan, then Nyssa, and Teagan. No! That is just silly." and later Doctor:"One, two...One two..."
   A girl wanders up: "Three, sir. Then four, then five, six, seven.."
   Doctor: "Stop!You're making me dizzy! Someone should give you a badge for Mathematical excellence...Adric!"
   I'm terrible at condensing things, sorry. :S
   ps. if you are confused you can look at the classic episode guide. :)

   That's hilarious! I can't believe that you've seen a Doctor Who episode that I haven't, though. :-( At least I don't think I've seen it...I should really see it. :-D

   So this is what you do to procrastinate.... Or maybe the "science" in these helps you with your biology final? *grin*
