- The Doctor: Let me feel your pulse.
- Melanie Bush: Don't touch ME!
- The Doctor: Ah ha, the proof of the pumpkin's in the squeezing!
- Melanie Bush: You don't even TALK like the Doctor, you miserable fraud!
- Melanie Bush: Let's hightail it back to the TARDIS and get out of here.
- The Doctor: [standing before the keypad of a locked door] And leave the Lakertyans to the machinations of the Rani? Impossible. Given time I'll work out the combination.
- Beyus: [from behind the door] 9-5-3.
- The Doctor: [to Mel] Do you hear a voice or am I hallucinating?
- Beyus: 9-5-3.
- Melanie Bush: Well, go on, quick. 9-5-3.
- The Doctor: [bemused] Who'd've thought she would've been so obvious? Huh! It's my age -and the Rani's.
- The Rani: [as Mel] Oh, forget the Rani. She's finished. Destroyed.
- The Doctor: Is she? Oh, don't underestimate her. She's a brilliant but sterile mind. There's not one spark of decency in her.
- The Rani: [as Mel] I must have forgotten.
- The Doctor: You, Mel, forget? Ha ha ha ha. A kangaroo never forgets.
- Melanie Bush: But if you're the REAL Doctor, then why do you look like THAT?
- The Doctor: [sadly] I've regenerated. And I'm suffering from post regeneration amnesia, as far as I can remember.
- The Rani: Quite adept at maneuvering, aren't you, Doctor?
- The Doctor: Well, there's a will there's a Tom, Dick and Harriet.
- Melanie Bush: Look, look, I'm, I'm grateful for your help, of course, but the gratitude isn't going to turn me into a puppet.
- Beyus: I've already come to that painful conclusion.
