[On Susan's intelligence]
Barbara Wright : I'm lending her a book on the French Revolution.
Ian Chesterton : What's she going to do? Re-write it?
-
The Doctor : This doesn't roll along on wheels, you know.
Barbara Wright : You mean, it moves?
Susan Foreman : The TARDIS can go anywhere.
Barbara Wright : TARDIS? I don't understand you, Susan.
Susan Foreman : Well, I made up the name TARDIS from the intials: Time And Relative Dimension In Space. I had thought you'd both understand when you saw the different dimensions inside from those outside.
-
Barbara Wright : [finding the TARDIS] Ian, look at this.
Ian Chesterton : Well, it's a Police Box. What on earth's it doing here? These things are usually on the street.
[feels the TARDIS]
Ian Chesterton : Feel it. Feel it. Do you feel it?
Barbara Wright : It's a faint vibration.
Ian Chesterton : It's alive!
[walks around its circumference]
Ian Chesterton : It's not connected to anything, unless it's through the floor.
-
Susan Foreman : Is that the book you promised me?
Barbara Wright : Yes.
Susan Foreman : [Barbara lends Susan the book on the French Revolution] Thank you very much. It will be interesting. I'll return it tomorrow.
Barbara Wright : Oh, that's not necessary. Keep it until you've finished it.
Susan Foreman : I'll have finished it.
-
Barbara Wright : If I thought I was just being a busy body, I'd go straight home.
-
Ian Chesterton : But that's ridiculous.
Susan Foreman : Why won't they believe us?
Barbara Wright : How can we?
The Doctor : Now, now, don't get exasperated, Susan. Remember the Red Indian. When he saw the first steam train, his savage mind thought it an illusion, too.
Ian Chesterton : You're treating us like children.
The Doctor : Am I? The children of my civilisation would be insulted.
