- Leela: This is a big village.
- The Doctor: Yes.
- Leela: What's the name of the tribe here?
- The Doctor: Cockneys.
- The Doctor: [recognizing] Got it! Li H'sen Chang!
- Li H'sen Chang: What?
- The Doctor: The master of magic and mesmerism. Show us a trick.
- [a nearby man dies, suddenly and violently]
- The Doctor: [admiringly] Very good!
- Leela: Doctor You make me wear strange clothes, You tell me nothing! You Are trying to annoy me!
- The Doctor: I'm trying to teach You Leela.
- Jago: Have I ever, in my thirty years in the halls, seen such a dazzling display of lustrous legerdemain, so many feats of superlative, supernatural skill? The answer must be never, sir, never!
- Leela: These clothes are ridiculous. Why must I wear them?
- The Doctor: Because you can't go walking around Victorian London in skins. You'd frighten the horses. Anyway, we don't want to be conspicuous, do we?
- Sergeant Kyle: You do have a permanent address, sir?
- The Doctor: No, Sergeant. We're travelers.
- Sergeant Kyle: I see. Persons of no fixed abode.
- The Doctor: No, no, no, no. We do have an "abode." It's called a TARDIS.
- Sergeant Kyle: [writing] A... Tardis.
- The Doctor: But it's not fixed.
- Sergeant Kyle: [glaring] I can give you AND the young lady a fixed abode, sir. Quite easily.
- The Doctor: [toward the back wall] What an imbecile.
- Sergeant Kyle: What was that?
- The Doctor: It was nothing complimentary. Get on with it, Sergeant!
- The Doctor: Don't I know you?
- Li H'sen Chang: I think not.
- The Doctor: Yes. I've seen you somewhere before.
- Li H'sen Chang: I understand we all look the same.
- The Doctor: Are you Chinese?
- Jago: Courteous coves, these Chinese. I'd have propelled him onto the pavement with a punt up the posterior.
