- Dr. Who: Yes, it's matching up.
- Susan Foreman: We're beginning to land.
- Dr. Who: Oh, how I wish.
- Ian Chesterton: Have you taken us back to our own time?
- Dr. Who: You know I can't do that. Please be reasonable.
- Ian Chesterton: What?
- Barbara Wright: Please, you must take us back. You must.
- Dr. Who: You see, this isn't operating correctly. Or rather, the code is still a secret. When you put the right data, precise information to a second of the beginning of a journey, then we can fix a destination, but I had no data at my disposal.
- Barbara Wright: Are you saying that you don't know how to work this thing?
- Dr. Who: Well, of course I can't. I'm not a miracle worker.
- Susan Foreman: You can't blame Grandfather. We left the other place too quickly, that's all.
- Ian Chesterton: Just a minute, did you try and take us back to our own time?
- Dr. Who: Well, I got you away from that other time, didn't I?
- Ian Chesterton: That isn't what I asked you.
- Dr. Who: It's the only way I can answer you, young man. Now.

- Dr. Who: Now we shall see.
- [the moniter displays images from planet Skaro]
- Dr. Who: It could be anywhere. Dear, dear, dear, dear. It's no help to us at all. Well, I suggest before we go outside and explore, let us clean ourselves up.
- Susan Foreman: Yes.
- Dr. Who: Now, what does the radiation read, Susan?
- Susan Foreman: It's reading normal, Grandfather.
- [after she turns away, the radiation dial switches across to read 'Danger']
