Let's see what I can remember off the top of my head.

"Really, where does time go then?"
"It doesn't go anywhere.  It just happens and then it's finished."

"You say you can't fit an enormous building into one of your smaller sitting
rooms."  "No."  "But you've discovered television haven't you?" "Yes."
"Then by showing an enormous building on your television screen, you can
do what seemed impossible, couldn't you?"
"Well, yes, but I still don't understand..."
"Not quite clear is it?  I can tell by your face that you're not certain.
You don't understand.  And I knew you wouldn't!  Nevermind."

"If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds
and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?"



> ** The speech from _Edge of Destruction_ about the birth of a star

Don't remember this one word for word, because it's in a naff story.

> ** The Farewell speech to Susan from _Dalek Invasion of Earth_

"During all the years I've been taking care of you, you in return have
been taking care of me."
"But Grandfather, I belong with  you!"
"Not any longer Susan.  You're still my grandchild, and always will be,
but now, you're a woman too.  I want you to belong somewhere, to have
roots of your own.  With David you'll be able to find those roots, and
live normally like any woman should do.  Believe me, my dear, your future
lies with David, and not with a silly old buffer like me.
One day, I shall come back.  Yes, I shall come back.  Until then,
there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.  Just go forward in all
your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. 
Goodbye Susan, goodbye my dear."

> ** Anything from the Doctor's trial in _The War Games_

"You have heard the charge against you, that you have repeatedly broken
our most important law of non-interference.  What have you to say?  Do you
admit these actions?"
"I not only admit them, I am proud of them.  While you have been content
to merely observe the evil in the galaxy, I have been fighting against it."
"Do you admit that these actions were justified?"
"Yes, of course I do!  Give me a thought channel and I'll show you some of
the evils I've been fighting against. 
The Quarks!  Deadly robot servants of the cruel Dominators.  They tried
to enslave a peace-loving race.  
Then there were the Yeti!  More robot killers!  Instruments of an alien
intelligence trying to take over the planet Earth."
"All this is entirely irrelevant."
"You asked me to justify my actions, I am doing so.  Let me show you the
Ice Warriors!  Cruel Martian invaders.  They tried to conquer the Earth
too.  So did the Cybermen!  Half-creature, half-machine!  But, worst of
all, were the Daleks!  A pitiless race of conquerers, exterminating all
who came up agianst them!  All these evils I have fought, while you have
done nothing but observe.  True, I am guilty of interference, just as you
are guilty of failing to use your great powers to help those in need!"
"Is that all you have to say?"
"Well, isn't it enough?"
"Your defense has been heard and will be carefully concerned, but you have
raised difficult issues.  We require time to think about them.  You will
be recalled when we have made our decision."

Later...after Jamie and Zoe have been returned to their respective places...
"Now then, what about me?"
"We have accepted your plea, that there is evil in the Universe which must
be fought, and that you still have a part to play in that battle."
"What you mean that you're going to let me go free?"
"Not entirely.   We have noted your particular interest in the planet Earth.
The frequency of your visits must have given you special knowledge of that
world and its problems."
"Yes, yes I suppose that's true. Earth seems more vulnerable than others,
yes."
"For that reason you will be sent back to that planet..."
"Oh..good..."
"In exile."
"In exile?"
"You will be sent to Earth in the twentieth century, and will remain there
for as long as we deem proper, and for that period, the secret of the TARDIS
will be taken from you."
"But you can't condemn me to exile on one primitive planet, in one century
in time!  Besides, I'm known on the Earth!  It may be very awkward for me!"
"Your appearance has changed before and it will change again and that is
part of the sentence."
"YOu just can't change what I look like without consulting me!"
"You will have an opportunity to choose your appearance."
"Oh, well, that's not so bad, but I warn you I'm very particular!"
"Here is your first choice."
"Well, he's too old!  He's too fat, isn't he?  No, he's too thin!  That one's
too young!  Oh, that won't do at all!  It's ridiculous!"
"You're wasting time Doctor."
"Well is this the best you can do? I've never seen such an incredible bunch!"
"Since you refuse to take the decision, the decision will be taken for you."
"Now, now, now, I never said that, but I maintain I have the right to
decide what I look like!  It could be very important on the Earth!  People
on Earth attach a verrryyy greeeaat deaaalll of impowtance to...oh, what's
happening?  Hic-cup!  What's happened?"
"The time has come Doctor for you to change your appearance and begin your
exile."  
"Oh, burp, is this some sort of joke?  No, I refuse to be treated in...
what are you doing?  Oh ho! No, Stop!  You're making me giddy!  No, you
can't do this to me!  No...no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no......"


> ** The speech to the sleepers in _The Ark in Space_.

This one's a bit hazy...
"Homo sapiens.  It's only a few million years since they crawled out of
the sea and learned to walk.  Puny, defenseless bipeds.  They've survived
flood, famine and plague...."
I lose the train of thought here, but I know it ends with,
"They're indominatable, indominatable!" 



> ** The speech by Tom Baker's Doctor when considering whether to blow up
> the incubation room in _Genesis of the Daleks_

"Just touch these two strands together, and that's it.  The Daleks are
destroyed forever..  Have I that right?"
"To destroy the Daleks?  You can't doubt it!"
"But I do, you see, some things could be better with the Daleks. Many 
future worlds will become allies just because of their fear of the Daleks.
"But, it isn't like that.  If it were some sort of disease or bacteria
you were destroying you wouldn't hesitate!" 
The final responsibility is mine, and mine alone.  Listen,
if someone who knew the future came to you and pointed out a child and
told you that child would grow up to become totally evil, to be a ruthless
dictator who would destroy millions of lives, could you then kill that child?"
"We're talking about the Daleks, the most evil creatures ever invented.
You must destroy them.  You must complete your mission for the Time Lords!"
"Do I have the right?  Simply touch one wire against the other, and that's
it.  The Daleks cease to exist.  Hundreds of millions of people, thousands of
generations can live without fear, in peace, and never even know the word 
'Dalek.'"
"Then why wait?  If it was a disease or some sort of bacteria you were
destroying you wouldn't hesitate!"
"But if I kill, wipe out a whole intelligent life form, then I become like
them.  I'd be no better than the Daleks."


And how about the end stuff between Davros and the Daleks too?

"The automated Dalek production line has been started.  I gave no such
order.  Who did?"
"I gave the command."
"You will perform no function unless ordered by me.  The production line
is to be halted immediately.  You heard my order, obey.  Obey!  Nyder."
"Yes, Davros."
Nyder is exterminated.
"Production will continue!"

cut-away and come back

"You must obey me!  I created you.  I am the Master, not you!  I, I, I!"
"Our programming does not permit us to acknowledge that any creature is
superior to the Daleks."
"You cannot exist without me.  You cannot progress!"
"We are programmed to survive!  We have the ability to develop any means
necessary to ensure that survival!"

- report about the explosion - 

"All inferior creatures are to be considered the enemy of the Daleks and
destroyed!"
"No wait, those men are scientists!  They can help you!  Let them live!
Have pity!"
"Pity?  I have no understanding of the word.  It is not registered in my
vocabulary bank.   Exterminate!"
the scientists are exterminated.
"For the last time, I am your creator!! You must, YOU WILL OBEY ME!!!"
"WE OBEY NO ONE!  WE ARE THE SUPERIOR BEINGS!!!!"
-Davros makes for the destruct button.
"EXTERMINATE!!!!"
-Davros is exterminated.
"We are entombed, but we live on.  This is only the beginning!  We will
prepare!  We will grow stronger!!  When the time is right, we will emerge
and take our rightful place as the supreme power of the Universe!!!"


> ** The dialogue between The Doctor and Greel over the Chess board in
> _Talons of Weng Chiang_. "I was with the assault on Rejykavik.."

"I was with the Fillipino army during the final assault on Rejykavik."
That's all I can remember about this bit.


> ** Anything Jago said in same story.

"Courteous coves these Chinese.  I'd've pushed him up the pavement with
a punt up the posterior."



> ** The Computer's last line in _Shada_ "Do you know the Doctor
> well...?"

"Do you know the Doctor well?  He has done the most wonderful things to my
circuitry.  If you want, I could tell you all about him!  Let me start at
the beginning..."

> ** The Doctor's opening address to the Dalek mothership in _Remembrence
> of the Daleks_.

"Ah, there you are.  
This is the Doctor.  President-Elect of the High Council of Time Lords.
Keeper of the Legacy of Rassilon.  Defender of the Laws of Time.  Protector
of Gallifrey.  I call upon you to surrender the Hand of Omega, and return
to your customary time and place."


> ** The dialogue between Morgaine and the Doctor at the end of
> _Battlefield_

"If this missile explodes, millions will die.  You will die."
"I shall die with honour."
"All over the world, fools are poised ready to let death fly.  Machines
of death Morgaine!  Of light, screaming from above!  Not an war between
armies, not a war between nations, but just death!  Death gone mad!
A child looks up into the sky, his eyes turn to cinders.  No more tears.
Only ashes.  Is this honour?  Is this war?  Are these the weapons we would
use?  Tell me!"
"No."
"Then put a stop to it Morgaine, end the madness!"


> ** The dialogue between The Doctor and Ace in _Curse of Fenric_, when he
> explains Fenric's origin.

"You know what's going on, don't you."
"Yes."
"You always know but you just can't be bothered to tell anyone.  It's like
it's some kind of a game and only you know the rules!  You knew all about
that inscription being a computer programme, but you didn't tell me.
You know all about that old bottle, but you're not telling me!  Am I so
stupid?"  
"No, that's not it."
"Why then?  I want to know."
"Will you stop asking me these questions?"
"Tell me!"
"The Dawn of Time, the beginning of all beginnings.  Two forces, only good
and evil.  Then Chaos.  Time is born, matter, space, the Universe cries
out like a newborn.  The forces shatter as the Universe explodes outwards.
Only echoes remain.  But somehow, somehow, the evil force survives.  An
intelligence.  Pure evil."
"And that's Fenric?"
"No, that's just Millington's name for it.  The evil has no name.  Trapped
inside a flask, like a genie in a bottle."


> ** The last line of _Survival_.

"There are worlds out there, 
Where the sky is burning.
Where the sea's asleep, 
And the rivers dream.
People made of smoke
And cities made of song.  
Somewhere there's danger, 
Somewhere there's injustice,
And somewhere else the tea's getting cold.
Come on Ace, we've got work to do."

(My favorite)

"Robot" Part One, to Harry whilst Harry is trying to get the Doctor back
to "the infirmary."
