Quotes
====================================
"My submission concerns a crisis which threatens the lives not only of a group of people confined together with no means of escape, but would, if unresolved, threaten every mortal being on the planet Earth." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"Now I object. Am I not to be protected from the prosecutor's insinuations? On what evidence does he conclude that I embroil myself?" ~ The Sixth Doctor
"Can't you sense it, Mel? Evil. There's evil in this place." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"It is because on the previous occasion that the Doctor's path crossed mine, I found myself involved in a web of mayhem and intrigue." ~ Commodore Travers
Travers: Well, don't be too diligent in policing the Doctor.
Rudge: Can I have clarification of that instruction, sir.
Travers: Give him enough rope and he will snare our culprit for us.
Mel: Look, the quickest way out of this is to solve the mystery.
The 6th Doctor: That could also be the quickest way into trouble.
The 6th Doctor: Now, before you go rushing off, Mel, do you know what a Judas goat is?
Mel: Er, yes. It's a decoy goat that's tied to the stake to lure the tiger out into the open.
The 6th Doctor: Getting badly mauled in the process. I think I shall refuse the role.
"Accident? Why can't you use plain language, mister? Whoever's been dumped in there has been pulverised into fragments and sent floating in space, and in my book that's murder." ~ Commodore Travers
"Any suggestions why a mineralogist who wanted to see you should be killed? Or why it is that every time you appear on the scene, people begin to die?" ~ Commodore Travers
"How could you remember? These events are in your future." ~ The Inquisitor
"But, I reviewed that section earlier when I was preparing my defence. There have been changes. That isn't what happened. The girl, Melanie. Her information was important. I wouldn't have just ignored it. Completely uncharacteristic. And the words, misused, didn't even sound like mine." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"Another death, Doctor? But for the caprice of chance, the victim would have been your companion, Mel. Your culpability is beyond question." ~ The Valeyard
"I am being manipulated, but the only way to discover why and by whom is to press on." ~ The Sixth Doctor
Lasky: A double pulse? What are you, a comedian?
The 6th Doctor: No, more a sort of clown, actually. Would you care to hear my rendering of On With The Motley?
"Er, time is a comparative concept, Commodore." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"Now, since you've put in an appearance, first a passenger, now my communications officer and a guard have gone missing. Two, if not all three, murdered. You, standing there in your divine state of innocence, you can't tell me what's happening, can you?" ~ Commodore Travers
"This is a situation that requires tact and finesse. Fortunately I am blessed with both." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"Tact. Finesse. Now what have you landed us in?" ~ Mel
"Truth is a stranger to the Earthlings." ~ Enzu
"You simply don't understand, do you. The crime we are committing in the name of science will make us infamous! That's assuming there's anyone left to pass judgement." ~ Bruchner
"Satiable curiosity, like the Elephant's Child." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"I fail to comprehend this evidence. The Doctor is on trial for his life, yet in his defense he presents us with a situation in which he is deliberately flouting accepted authority." ~ The Valeyard
"Quirky phenomena, black holes. They can gulp with unpredictable turbulence." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"Begin? I take it you mean begin overtly to cooperate. You've been using me, Commodore. I would never have been allowed to run free if you hadn't condoned it." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"Don't throw the towel in, Mel." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"The prosecutor delights in scoring cheap victories, my lady. I swear to you, when I viewed that section earlier, I was nowhere near the Communications room." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"Your colleague is aiming the Hyperion Three into the eye of the Black Hole of Tartarus." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"The mortality rate that attends your meddling is appalling." ~ The Valeyard
"We're being hijacked! If you don't want to get caught, come on! Quickly!" ~ Mel
"It is not only we who kill animal-kind. They kill each other." ~ Vervoid
"Exceptional circumstances require exceptional measures." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"A reckless streak. I'm prone to them." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"The Vervoids are not psychopaths." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"And there you have it. The direct request. I did not meddle. I was presented with an appeal, and not just from anybody, but from the man in whom authority was vested." ~ The Sixth Doctor
"Well, at least if you're laughing you can't be singing. Have you ever heard his rendering of On With The Motley? Count your blessings." ~ Mel
The Valeyard: Whether or not the Doctor has proved himself innocent of meddling is no longer the cardinal issue before this court. He has proved himself guilty of a far greater crime.
The Inquisitor: You refer to article seven of Gallifreyan Law?
The 6th Doctor: No, my Lady, that can not apply! Had a single Vervoid reached earth, the human race would have been eliminated.
The Valeyard: Article seven permits no exceptions. The Doctor has destroyed a complete species. The charge must now be genocide.

Trivia
====================================

Honor Blackman (Professor Lasky) is best known for playing Cathy Gale in The Avengers and Pussy Galore in the James Bond film Goldfinger.
