Peter Davison: The Doctor

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.

• Nyssa : Hurry, Doctor! We must get Adric off the freighter!

  The Doctor : [referring to the TARDIS console which was earlier hit by a laser blast fired by a Cyberman]  The controls are damaged!

  Nyssa : We must save Adric! There's so little time!

  Tegan : [seeing the freighter about to crash into the prehistoric Earth]  Look!

  Nyssa : [realising what is about to happen]  Adric!

  [On board the freighter, Adric stands stoically, his late brother's belt clutched in his hands. His grip tightens as he braces himself for the end. The freighter then crashes and explodes on impact] 

  Tegan : Adric?

  [the Doctor doesn't respond] 

  Tegan : Doctor!

  [the look on the Doctor's face confirms what she and Nyssa already know] 

  Tegan : [barely audible]  Oh, no!

  [She and Nyssa bury their faces on each other's shoulders as both of them start to cry]
