Lines by Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart 6

BLBrigadier Lethbridge-Stewart

Nonsense, what you need, Doctor, as Miss Shaw herself so often remarked, is someone to pass you your test tubes, and to tell you how brilliant you are.

BBrigadier

You know, just once I'd like to meet an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets.

[Doris takes a call from 'Geneva']

BBrigadier

Tell them I've retired. Tell them I've decided to fade away.

Scenes with Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart 32

My goodness, no. Don't you realise that when I was stranded on this little planet of yours, I had nothing but these clothes that I... Oh, my goodness!

LLiz

What is it, Doctor?

Well, I've just realised. I don't even own these. I borrowed them from the hospital. And there's that car, too. Yes, you know, I took to that car. It had character.

BBrigadier

No, Doctor. That car must be returned to its owner.

Must it? Yes, yes, I suppose it must. Still, there's no reason why you couldn't find me something similar, is there? I mean, it could persuade me to stay, you know.

BBrigadier

Oh, very well.

Good. When can we go and choose it?

BBrigadier

Not yet. I must arrange for a full set of papers first. By the way, I've just realised. I don't even know your name.

Smith. Doctor John Smith.

BLBrigadier Lethbridge-Stewart

This thing actually attacked you?

It was going to if Mike hadn't shot it. It was horrible.

BLBrigadier Lethbridge-Stewart

Seems as though you may be right, Doctor.

I usually am.

BLBrigadier Lethbridge-Stewart

Well, it's dead enough now.

Jo, where were you when this thing started moving?

I was on the telephone.

And what about you, Captain Yates?

MYMike Yates

I wasn't here, I'd just gone out to, uh, fetch a tin of cocoa.

Yes, well something must have-[pause] Fetch a tin of what?

MYMike Yates

Cocoa.

Are you trying to tell me that you were going to make cocoa in my lab?!

MYMike Yates

That was the general idea. I'm sorry, Doctor.

BLBrigadier Lethbridge-Stewart

[Looking for the Doctor and Jo who are chased by 2 autons disguised as policemen] Doctor? Miss Grant?

Get down man! Get down!

[The still-masked auton shoots at the Brigadier, and the blast knocks him down. The second auton comes up behind the soldier]

YYates

Look out!

[Too late. The soldier dies. Yates and the Brigadier take pot shots at their assailants]

They're Autons! Bullets can't stop them!

Thank you, Brigadier. But do you think for once in your life, you could manage to arrive before the nick of time?!

BLBrigadier Lethbridge-Stewart

I'm glad to see you too, Doctor.

BBrigadier

In any case, Doctor, every section of UNIT now has the search for the Master written into standing orders.

Priority Z one hundred and forty four, I suppose?

BBrigadier

Priority A one, actually.

Look, I tell you, Brigadier, there is grave danger.

BBrigadier

Danger of what, for heavens sake?

Well, I'm not sure, but in my dream I quite clearly saw...

BBrigadier

You know, if this got out, you'd be the laughing stock of UNIT. A dream. Really, Doctor, you'll be consulting the entrails of a sheep next. [Jo laughs]

BBrigadier

Right, stand still, everyone! Er, where's the Master?

A very good question, Brigadier.

BBrigadier

Doctor, glad to see you're back. Miss Grant, what on Earth are you doing in that extraordinary get-up? And where, for heaven's sake, is Sergeant Benton!?

HHyde

[to Ruth] The Baby! We forgot the Baby!

[stands up, no longer a baby, but still undressed] Would somebody please mind telling me exactly what's happening around here?

[everyone laughs]

BBrigadier

Is there anything I can do?

TDThird Doctor

Yes, pass me a silicon rod. [Stirs cup of tea with it]

BBrigadier

I meant is there anything UNIT can do about this space lightning business?

TTyler

I can manage now, thank you.

BBrigadier

I'm delighted to hear it. Make yourself at home. We're only supposed to be a top secret security establishment(!) Liberty Hall, Dr. Tyler. Liberty Hall!
