- The Doctor: [to Peri] Planets come and go. Stars perish. Matter disperses, coalesces, reforms into other patterns, other worlds. Nothing can be eternal.
- Sabalom Glitz: You know, Dibber, I'm the product of a broken home.
- Dibber: Um, you have mentioned it on occasion, Mr. Glitz.
- Sabalom Glitz: Which sort of unbalanced me. Made me selfish to the point where I cannot stand competition.
- Dibber: Know the feeling only too well, Mr. Glitz.
- Sabalom Glitz: Whereas yours is a simple case of sociopathy, Dibber, my malaise is much more complex - "A deep-rooted maladjustment," my psychiatrist said, "brought on by a infantile inability to come to terms with the more pertinent, concrete aspects of life."
- Dibber: Well, that sounds more like an insult than a diagnosis, Mr. Glitz.
- Sabalom Glitz: You're right there, my lad. Mind you, I had just attempted to kill him. Oh, I do hate prison psychiatrists, don't you?
- [the Doctor and Peri stumble across an old sign which appears to be from an old and abandoned Earth subway station]
- The Doctor: Well I suppose there is a billion to one chance there was a place called 'Marble Arch' on Ravalox.
- Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown: And they wrote in English?
- The Doctor: Well that's another billion to one chance.
- Balazar: Where are you from, old one?
- The Doctor: Old one!
- Balazar: What station did you disgrace with your miserable presence, water thief?
- The Doctor: I may look old to you, wiskerless youth, but I'll have you know I'm in the prime of my life. I'm only nine-hundred years old.
- [Glitz explodes a grenade near the Tribe of the Free to get their rapt attention. He calls to one of them]
- Sabalom Glitz: Come here you ignorant, maggot ridden peasent!
- [to Dibber]
- Sabalom Glitz: Somehow I always feel foolish saying this
- [Addressing the Free]
- Sabalom Glitz: Take me to your leader!
