Tom Chadbon: Duggan

Quotes 

• Duggan : You're mad. Insane. You're inhuman!

  Count Scarlioni : Quite so. When I compare my race to yours, human, I take the word "inhuman" as a great compliment.

• [They've gone back in time 400 million years] 

  Doctor Who : [dips his hand into a pool of black sludge]  The amniotic fluid from which all life on Earth will spring, where the amino acids fuse to form minute cells. Cells which eventually evolve into vegetable and animal life. You, Duggan.

  [he rubs some onto Duggan's hand] 

  Duggan : I come from that, that soup?

  Doctor Who : Yes. Well, not that soup exactly. It's inert, there's no life in it yet. It's waiting on a massive dose of radiation.

  Romana : The Jagaroth ship?

  Doctor Who : Yes. The explosion that caused Scarlioni to splinter in time also caused the birth of the human race. And that's what's about to happen. The birth of life itself.

  Duggan : Here, while we watch?

  Doctor Who : No, no. If we were watching we'd be in dead trouble. We've got to stop Scaroth.

  Duggan : Scaroth?

  Doctor Who : Yes, that's his real name. If we don't stop him, the entire human race will cease to exist instantly.

• Duggan : Where do you two come from?

  Doctor Who : From? Well, I suppose the best way to find out where you've come from is to find out where you're going and then work backwards.

  Duggan : Where are you going?

  Doctor Who : I don't know.

  Romana : Nor do I.

  Doctor Who : Goodbye.
