Lines by Second Doctor 17

DThe Doctor

The Time Lords are an immensely civilised race. We can control our own environment - we can live forever, barring accidents and we have the secret of space/time travel.

DThe Doctor

Is this some sort of joke? No, I refuse to be treated in- What are you doing? NO!!!! STOP! You're making me giddy! No, you can't do this to me! No, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.....!

Scenes with Second Doctor 47

DThe Doctor

[the Doctor awakens and mutters to himself] Slower. Slower. Concentrate on one thing. One thing. It's over. Hmm, hmm, hmm. It's over.

Doctor?

DThe Doctor

[the Doctor turns and stumbles over the console. Mutters to himself] The muscles are still a bit tight.

What are we gonna do?

It is the Doctor. I know it is... - I think.

It's not just his face that's changed. He doesn't even act like him!

[The Doctor explains his regeneration.]

The Doctor always wore this. If you are him it should fit... That settles it!

DThe Doctor

I'd like to see a butterfly fit into a chrysalis case after it spreads its wings.

Then you did change.

DThe Doctor

Life depends on change, and renewal.

Oh, that's it, you've been renewed, have you?"

DThe Doctor

Renewed? Have I? That's it, I've been renewed. It's part of the TARDIS. Without it I couldn't survive.

DThe Doctor

[Ben and Polly follow the Doctor into the capsule and find the cobwebbed Daleks] Polly... Ben... Come in and meet the Daleks.

What?

DThe Doctor

The Daleks.

DThe Doctor

Now, Lesterson's fanatic. The Governor's jealous of his own position. What does that suggest to you?

[the Doctor answers himself]

DThe Doctor

Dunno. Hadn't thought about it. That all is not well with this colony. Add to that one Dalek!

Oh, blimey, you don't half make mountains, don't you? One Dalek?

DThe Doctor

[explaining] Yes! All that is needed to wipe out this entire colony.

DThe Doctor

Lesterson, what have you done? What have you done?

LLesterson

I'll show you. Janley, now!

It recognised the Doctor. It recognised him!

What's the matter, Doctor? Are you all right?

DThe Doctor

The fools. The stupid fools!

You're scared. What can it do?

DThe Doctor

Nothing yet.

LLesterson

This creation is called, I understand, a Dalek.

It knew who you were. It sounds ridiculous, but it did.

DThe Doctor

It knew who I was.

The Dalek knows who you are.

LLesterson

Now, look at it. I have merely given it electrical power, but it is capable of storing it. Moreover, it responds to orders. Turn around. [The Dalek obeys] Move that chair. [The Dalek pushes the chair across the room] Stop. [The Dalek stops] You see? Well, just think what this could do for our mining program, our processing, packaging. Dozens of labour jobs, Governor. It may even supply the end to all this Colony's problems.

DThe Doctor

Yes, it will end the colony's problems, because it will end the colony!

I am your servant.

LLesterson

It, it spoke! Janley, did you hear it? It can actually talk.

DThe Doctor

It can do many things, Lesterson. But the thing it does most efficiently is exterminate human beings. It destroys them, without mercy, without conscience. It destroys them. Utterly. Completely. It destroys them.

[Trying to drown out The Doctor] I am your servant. I am your servant. I am your servant. I am your servant. I am your servant.

(17 December 1966 - 7 January 1967)

[The Doctor is pretending to be a German doctor.]

DThe Doctor

You suffer from headaches?

PPerkins

No, I don't.

[The Doctor bangs his head on the table.]

DThe Doctor

Oh, dear. No headaches?

PPerkins

Well... that...

[The Doctor bangs his head on the table again.]

DThe Doctor

Oh, dear. You call me a liar?

DThe Doctor

Just one small question: Why do you want to blow up the world?

ZZaroff

Why? You, a scientist, ask me why? The achievement, my dear Doctor. The destruction of the world. The scientist's dream of supreme power!

DThe Doctor

Zaroff, I think you ought to know the sea has broken through and is about to overwhelm us here.

ZZaroff

Don't listen to him. The man lies.

DThe Doctor

Then perhaps the distant roaring that we can hear is just the goddess Amdo with indigestion.

(11 February - 4 March 1967)

DThe Doctor

This unit automatically controls the pulse, the temperature and the breathing.

A sort of electronic doctor.

DThe Doctor

Yes. Almost got striped trousers!

DThe Doctor

I simply don't understand it.

Doctor, it wouldn't, I mean it couldn't possibly have anything to do with Lister, could it?

DThe Doctor

Lister?

Well, I mean, you did say that you took your degree in Glasgow in 1888. It does seem an awful long time from now, 2070 or whatever it is.

DThe Doctor

Polly, are you suggesting that I'm not competent to carry out these tests?

Oh, no. No, no, no, no. I was just wondering if there was anything that Joseph Lister didn't know in 1888 that might possibly help you now.

DThe Doctor

Shh! Somebody's coming. It's Mister Hobson, out for blood. Ours. Look busy. Quick!

HHobson

Well Doctor, as I was saying, you've had your chance and you've come up with absolutely nothing. Now, I-

[The technician cries in pain and drops to the floor]

DThe Doctor

Now don't touch him! Let me look...

[The Doctor moves the technician and reveals his hand is covered in black lines]

HHobson

Charlie, and what's your name.. Ben, give us a hand to get him into the medical unit!

DThe Doctor

Try not to touch his skin.

[They both pick him up, and rush him to the medical unit. Hobson, Polly and The Doctor sit back down again. Then, The Doctor looks at the sugar container, with a look of realisation, then proceeds to knock the cup out of Hobson's hand just as he is about to drink the coffee.]

DThe Doctor

DON'T DRINK THAT! It's the sugar! Don't you see, that's why the disease doesn't affect everyone, it's the sugar! Not everyone takes it! Now don't touch it!...

[Polly and Hobson look at each other confused, as The Doctor picks up the sugar carefully with a piece of equipment and brings it to the lab.]

HHobson

What are you doing?

DThe Doctor

Just be patient.

[The Doctor examines the sugar under a microscope, revealing the disease hidden inside]

DThe Doctor

Just as I thought. A large, neurotropic virus.

HHobson

Like the space plague?

DThe Doctor

No. A large, infective agent that only attacks the nerves. That's why the patients have these lines on their faces and their hands. It follows the course of the nerves under the skin.

HHobson

That's all very well, but how did it get in here?

DThe Doctor

Oh, it is the Cybermen. I believe they have deliberately infected the base.

HHobson

My men have searched every square inch of the base, there's no space to hide a cat, let alone a Cyberman! Anyhow, how did they get in?!

[Everything goes quiet for a second]

DThe Doctor

One moment...

[The Doctor and co walk over to the medical room]

DThe Doctor

You say you searched all the base?

HHobson

Yes. What of it?

DThe Doctor

Every nook and cranny?

HHobson

Yes.

DThe Doctor

No chance of anyone hiding anywhere?

HHobson

None whatever.

DThe Doctor

Did your men search in here?

HHobson

Well...

DThe Doctor

Did they?

HHobson

Well...

[sighs]

HHobson

There are always people in here so they thought that...

DThe Doctor

[whispering urgently] Did they search in here?

HHobson

No!

But there's nowhere in here they could hide.

[the Doctor inspects all the beds in turn until he comes to one particular bed, where he sees the boots of a Cyberman sticking out]

Oh no! No! No! Oh no!

DThe Doctor

There we are! In perfect flight!

Oh, and look what happened last time!

DThe Doctor

Oh, and all that a lot of fuss, it was just a bumpy landing, that's all, it won't happen again!

DThe Doctor

I know...

What are you up to now?

DThe Doctor

Let's have a look at the time scanner.

The what?

DThe Doctor

The time scanner! Instead of showing us a normal picture of where we are, it, gives us a glimpse of the future.

A second sight? Very dangerous...

DThe Doctor

Oh, nonsense! I, haven't used it much, it's, not very reliable as you can see..

Doctor... LOOK!
