The Doctor: Do you know, I really may have been to Traken. It's so difficult to keep track of. Adric: Well, I suppose it helps keeping a time log. The Doctor: Oh, yes. Mind you, I don't bother now, much too busy.
The Doctor: Yes, Traken. Traken Union, famous for its universal harmony. A whole empire held together by… Adric: By? The Doctor: Well, by people just being terribly nice to each other.
The Doctor: If I knew everything that was going to happen, where would the fun be?
The Doctor [ of Traken ]: They say the atmosphere there was so full of goodness that evil just shrivelled up and died. Maybe that's why I never went there.
Adric: I'm just saying a lot of the time you don't really make sense. The Doctor: Ah, ah. Oh, you've noticed that, have you? Well, anyone can talk sense. As long as that's understood, you and I are going to get on splendidly.
