"Break, damn you! Break! You’ve never had a spanner like this thrown in you! Chew on me till your teeth crack. Grind me up till your gears lock. I’m the nail in your tyre, the potato jammed in your exhaust pipe, the treacle poured in your petrol tank. I’m the banana peel beneath your foot, the joker that ruins your straight flush, the coin that always comes up heads and the gun you didn’t know was loaded. I am the Doctor!"

"‘He’ll have another go at killing you,’ Jo said.
‘Very probably,’ the Doctor agreed cheerfully. ‘But he hasn’t had much luck so far, has he? Don’t worry, I can handle him.’
‘You know, Doctor,’ said Jo suddenly, ‘I think you’ve got a sort of sneaking liking for him.’
The Doctor looked indignant. ‘Like him? I can’t stand the fellow. He’s ruthless. Depraved. Totally evil. In fact, a thoroughly bad lot. Only…’
‘Only what, Doctor?’
The Doctor looked a little sheepish. ‘Well, I do sometimes think the cosmos would be a duller place without him. Not that I won’t do my best to catch him, I assure you.’
‘I should hope so,’ said the Brigadier."
