Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes
The Leisure Hive – Part 1
Romana: I don't think much of this Earth idea of recreation. Why can't we do something constructive?
K9: Sea bathing recommended. A traditional Earth exercise, mistress.
Romana: Well, go on, then. You exercise. Fetch!
(Romana throws a beach ball down the shingle slope and walks away. K9 obeys the order to fetch then ball, which has rolled into the sea. Romana turns round.) K9!
(She runs down the beach. Too late. K9 reaches the water and goes Bang! Fire and smoke come out of his back.) K9!
(Romana trudges back up the shingle slope carrying the now defunct K9 and dumps it on the Doctor's lap.) The Doctor: Ow!
Romana: Look what you've done.
The Doctor: What have I done?
Romana: You've got the century wrong, you've got the season wrong and you've got K9's sea-water defences wrong.
The Doctor: Well, I can't get everything right.
Romana: Just something would be a help.
The Doctor: One must always accept the unexpected.
The Leisure Hive – Part 2
(The Doctor's smiling face is on the sphere.) The Doctor: Handsome fellow, isn't he? One of your tachyon images. It'll disappear soon, look.
(And it does.) See?
Pangol: How did you get out?
The Doctor: Through a hole in the back.
Pangol: But there isn't one.
The Doctor: There is now.
(His sonic screwdriver is rather bent.) The Leisure Hive – Part 3
The Doctor: I'm sick of being old. There must be some way of reversing the process.
Romana: Temporal asymmetry. We'll have to get back to the Generator. Your condition's unstable.
The Doctor: Pangol's very young.
Romana: Pangol?
The Doctor: Yes. And everyone else is old, except Pangol. And he runs the Generator. When you were fitting the Schrodinger oscillator, did you notice there were two baryon shields?
Romana: Mmm. Why two, I wonder?
The Doctor: I don't know. I didn't have time to look. Five hundred years goes by so rapidly.
The Leisure Hive – Part 4
The Doctor: I think we're redundant here. Let's go.
Romana: The Randomiser.
The Doctor: What about it?
Romana: Well, we can't just leave it here.
The Doctor: Why not? I don't like not knowing where we're going to turn up next.
Romana: Neither does the Black Guardian. That is the point of the thing. The Black Guardian's a real threat.
The Doctor: Some galactic hobo with ideas above his station. The cosmos is full of them. Anyway, there's been enough randomising on this job.
Romana: Job? It was meant to be a holiday.
The Doctor: Well then, I'm going to be very glad to get back to work. And I'm missing K9
