Lines by Sarah Jane Smith 2

Sarah Jane

[reading a note the Doctor has left] "Sarah, Professor Kettelwel tells me he has the robot hidden at his house. Gone to meet him. P.S. It is, of course, possible that this message is a trap. If it is, I can deal with it. P.P.S. I'm leaving this note in case I can't."

Scenes with Sarah Jane Smith 49

Sarah Jane

[the Doctor has ferreted out Sarah Jane's identity] Are you going to give me away, Doctor?

I don't think so.

Sarah Jane

[suddenly cheering] Why not?

[leans back, tents his fingers] Well, you can make yourself useful. We need someone around here to make the coffee.

Sarah Jane

[incensed] If you think I'm going to spend my time making cups of coffee for you...

[she halts as the Doctor leaps out of his chair. Reubish is scribbling something in chalk on the side of the TARDIS]

Professor! Would you kindly desist? This isn't a blackboard, you know!

[begins to unlock the TARDIS door]

RProfessor Rubeish

Oh, I do beg your pardon, Doctor. I was just trying to prove...

Sarah Jane

What are you going to do in there?

[opens the TARDIS door] Make myself a cup of coffee. Good day to you.

Sarah Jane

Look, please. Now you've had your laugh, now, you know, just let's stop it and let's talk sensibly. I mean, if it's any consolation to you, you're scaring me out of my wits.

BBloodaxe

Perhaps the wench is crazed, Captain.

Sarah Jane

Oh, come on. What is this place?

IIrongron

You are in the castle of Irongron, my lady. Few uninvited guests come here and few that do leave alive.

Sarah Jane

All right, if you insist on playing guessing games. Now, it's not a village pageant, it's too elaborate for that. A film set. No. No, no lights, no cameras.

IIrongron

Aye, the wench is crazed right enough. A pity. She is not uncomely.

Sarah Jane

I've got it! It's one of those tourist places. A medieval castle all restored to its original condition, with jolly banquets and buxom serving wenches. That's it, isn't it? Mind you, I think you're overdoing the sordid realism a bit. I mean, I know things were a bit grotty in the Middle Ages, but, really, you might leave the tourists a bit of glamorous illusion. I've never seen such a scurvy, smelly--

IIrongron

For pity's sake, cease this babbling, girl!

Sarah Jane

Doctor! We were just playing the main part in a sacrificial ceremony, weren't we?

Well, that seemed to be the general idea, yes.

Sarah Jane

Well, how are they going to sacrifice us just by dumping us down here?

Yes, I knew that thought would occur to you, sooner or later.

Sarah Jane

You've got an idea, haven't you?

Yes. And it's not one of my favorites. In fact, I don't care for it at all.

Sarah Jane

Well, you might as well share it.

Oh, very well. I think they expect that sacrifice to be completed by something else. Something that lives down this tunnel.

[And right on cue comes a strange warbling sort of roar]

Sarah Jane

Next time you get an idea, keep it to yourself, will you?

[The Doctor and Sarah Jane hear another strange, mechanical roaring sound]

Sarah Jane

That sounded awfully close.

Some sort of subterranean wind effect, I should think.

[And another]

Sarah Jane

Who are you kidding?

Myself, chiefly.

[Two Daleks enter the tunnel. As the Doctor and Sarah walk on, something similar to an Exxilon follows them. The roar again]

Sarah Jane

I just heard your wind effect gnashing its teeth. Well, which way now?

I think I'll make a short reconnaissance down this tunnel here. Alone.

Sarah Jane

[pointing] Doctor! Look! Look at the city!

[They watch as the now powerless city gives in to the ravages of time and rapidly decays into a pile of rubble]

It's rather a pity, in a way...now the universe is down to 699 wonders.

The citadel of Peladon, Sarah. One of the most interesting and-

Sarah Jane

Oh no it isn't - is it, Doctor?

Well, no, not exactly.

Sarah Jane

No, it's not your precious citadel at all. It's another rotten gloomy old tunnel!

Yes, well, with the scanner still on the blink, there was no way I could really check.

Sarah Jane

There's more than the scanner on the blink.

TThalira

It would be different if I was a man. But I'm only a girl.

Sarah Jane

Now just a minute! There's nothing "only" about being a girl, your Majesty.

[Sarah and Mike climb through a window into the meditation center and get discovered by Tommy]

TTommy

Why are you climbing in the window?

Sarah Jane

Er, yes, yes, I...

TTommy

Play games?

Sarah Jane

That's right, just playing a little game.

TTommy

Tom likes games. Tom play game too?

Sarah Jane

Er, tell you what, Tom.

TTommy

Who are you?

Sarah Jane

My name is Sarah. Sarah Jane Smith.

TTommy

Tom likes you, Sarah Jane Smith.

Sarah Jane

Oh, you see, Tom, this game, it's called secrets. And it's a secret that I'm here. Shhh...

TTommy

Shhh...

Sarah Jane

Yeah. So you won't tell anyone, will you?

TTommy

[sees Sarah's brooch] Ah, that's pretty.

Sarah Jane

Would you like it? [takes off her brooch and gives it to Tommy] Here, careful not to prick yourself.

TTommy

Oh, it's pretty. [leaves]

A shameless waste of feminine wiles. Come on.

Sarah Jane

Nonsense.

Shhh!

[Sarah realizes that Tommy's formerly low intelligence has been improved]

Sarah Jane

Tommy, you're normal! You're just like everybody else!

TTommy

Oh, I sincerely hope not.

[The Third Doctor's last words.]

I had to face my fear ... that was more important than just going on living ...

(Sarah Jane: Please...don't die!)

A tear, Sarah Jane? No, don't cry. While there's life, there's...

[The Doctor dies. Sarah closes his eyes.]

Sarah Jane

Hope.

[on phone] Get me the medical officer.

(semi-conscious) Typical Sontaran attitude...

[on phone] Lieutenant Sullivan?

(semi-conscious) Stop Linx...

[on phone] Emergency. Come to the lab at once, please.

(semi-conscious) Perverting the course of human history...

What's he talking about?

Sarah Jane

It's something that happened when we first met.

(sits up) I tell you, Brigadier, there's nothing to worry about! The brontosaurus is large and placid! (falls back)

(A naval officer enters)

This the patient, sir?

And stupid! (sits back up) If the square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square on the other two sides, why is a mouse when it spins? Never did know the answer to that one. (falls back again)
