General Staal: General Staal of the Tenth Sontaran battle fleet. "Staal The Undefeated!"
Doctor: Oh that's no good. What if you get defeated? "Staal The Not-Quite-So-Undefeated-Any-More-But-Never-Mind?"
Donna: You used to work for them?
The Doctor: Yeah, back in the seventies. Or was it the eighties?
Luke Rattigan: 52 deaths in a single second, man, that is so cool!
General Staal: Is the temperature significant?
The Doctor: Ross, just one question: If UNIT think that ATMOS is dodgy...
Ross: How come we've got it in the jeeps? Tell me about it. They're fitted as standard on all government vehicles. Can't get rid of them until we prove something's wrong. Drives me around the bend.
The Doctor: Oh, nice one!
Ross: Timed that perfectly!
The Doctor: Oh, now... that's clever! Look! Single-molecule fabric. How thin is that?! You could pack a tent in a thimble. Oh, Gravity simulators! Terraforming! Biospheres! Mano-tech steel construction! Ha-ha, this is brilliant! But y'know with equipment like this, you could, oh, I dunno... move to another planet or something.
Luke: If only that was possible.
The Doctor: If only that were possible. Conditional clause.
The Doctor: ATMOS means more people driving, more cars, more petrol, end result: the oil's gonna run out faster than ever. The ATMOS system could make things worse.
Luke: Yeah, well, that's a tautology. You can't say "ATMOS System", 'cause it stands for Atmospheric Emission System. So you're saying "Atmospheric Emission System System". Do you see, Mr Conditional Clause?
The Doctor: It's been a long time since anyone said "no" to you...
General Staal: We have an intruder!
Doctor: How'd he get in? In-tru-da window?
