Quotes 

• Isobel : Well, the answer's simple, surely. Go and get some proof.

  Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart : And how do I prove that in the sewers of London there are creatures from outer space waiting to attack us? Go and get one?

  Zoe : You wouldn't stand a chance against them, Isobel.

  Isobel : Ah, you wouldn't have to go anywhere near them.Photograph them.

  Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart : That's not a bad idea... Now wait a minute, it'd be pitch-dark down in those tunnels.

  Isobel : You could use infrared film, a twenty-five filter on a thirty-five mil camera with a telephoto lens, and why, you could take frame after frame without getting anywhere near them.

  Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart : Is all that gibberish or do you really know what you're talking about?

  Isobel : Of course I know.

  Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart : If you're right, it could well be the sort of proof I need to get some action.

  Isobel : Well, all I need is my camera from the house and then I'm all set.

  Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart : Now, wait a minute, this is hardly a job for you.

  Isobel : Why ever not?

  Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart : Well... you're a young woman. This is a job for my men.

  Isobel : Well, of all the bigoted, anti-feminist... cretinous remarks!

  Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart : This is no job for a girl like you. Now that's final.

  Isobel : Oh you... you man!

  Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart : I'll get in touch with my photographic unit and get them onto it.

  [the Brigadier leaves] 

  Isobel : Oh, that stupid bigoted idiotic...

  Jamie : Ah, well he's right, you know.

  Zoe : Jamie McCrimmon!

  Jamie : Well, he is!

  Zoe : Just because you're a man you think that you're superior, do you?

  Jamie : Now I didn't say that. Of course, it's true.

  Zoe : Is it really?... Right... Coming, Isobel?

  Isobel : What a splendid idea.

  Jamie : Where are you going?

  Zoe : Do you think we should let him come with us?

  Isobel : Oh, I don't know. Men aren't much good in situations like this.
