Quotes 

• The Doctor : Emotions have their uses.

  Cyber Leader : They restrict and curtail the intellect and logic of the mind.

  The Doctor : They also enhance life! When did you last have the pleasure of smelling a flower, watching a sunset, eating a well-prepared meal?

  Cyber Leader : These things are irrelevant.

  The Doctor : For some people, small, beautiful events is what life is all about!

• Cyber Leader : [referring to recently captured Tegan]  You have affection for this woman?

  The Doctor : She's a friend.

  Cyber Leader : And you do not consider friendship a weakness?

  The Doctor : I do not.

  [the Cyberleader turns to face another Cyberman] 

  Cyber Leader : Kill her.

  [the Doctor is shocked, but attempts to steel himself as the Cyberman approaches Tegan. She fearfully backs toward the escape pod door, Adric at her side, both trying to gauge if she can escape. The Cyberleader stares down the increasing agitated Doctor until...] 

  The Doctor : No!

  [the Doctor runs to stand between the Cyberman and Tegan, shielding her. It turns to look back at the Cyberleader who recinds the order with a hand gesture] 

  Cyber Leader : Such a reaction is not a disadvantage?

  The Doctor : No.

  Cyber Leader : You are mistaken. I now have control over you, Doctor. All I need do is threaten the woman's death for you to obey me.
