- Tegan Jovanka: What year are we in?
- The Doctor: Around two thousand and eighty-four.
- Tegan Jovanka: Little seems to have changed since my time.
- The Doctor: Absolutely nothing, Tegan. There are still two power blocs, fingers poised to annihilate each other.
- The Doctor: You changed your mind about going home.
- Vislor Turlough: Well, I, uh... I thought I would learn more if I stayed with you. It's true.
- The Doctor: Of course.
- Vislor Turlough: I mean it.
- The Doctor: I believe you. I'm just a little doubtful about how resolute you'll remain.
- Vislor Turlough: Time will tell.
- The Doctor: Yes, indeed. Aboard the TARDIS it always does.
