Quotes

[the Terileptil Leader blasts the sonic screwdriver, destroying it]
The Doctor : I feel as though you've just killed an old friend.
Terileptil : It is with some sadness that I tell you you are about to join it.
The Doctor : Why not smile and let me live?
-
Terileptil : War is honourable, Doctor. Even on this planet it is considered so.
The Doctor : Oh, I know - but, by your own admission, these people are still primitive. What's your excuse?
-
Terileptil : Your friends are of no interest to me.
The Doctor : Well, that's unfortunate because we had intended to help you.
-
The Doctor : There are only four of you?
Terileptil : Three, now, but it is enough.
The Doctor : Against the millions who already live on this planet? You'd NEVER establish yourselves here.
Terileptil : You're assuming we plan to coexist.
-
The Doctor : This carnage isn't necessary.
Terileptil : It's survival, Doctor. Just as these primitives kill lesser species to protect themselves, so I kill them.
The Doctor : That's hardly an argument.
Terileptil : It's not supposed to be an argument! It's a statement!
-
The Doctor : I've never been able to reconcile the Terileptil's love of art and beauty with their love of war.
