BenHey, come on Doctor, wakey wakey! It's all over now.
What did you say, my boy? It's all over. That's what you said. No, but it isn't all over. It's far from being all over.
Ben
What are you talking about?
I must get back to the TARDIS... IMMEDIATELY!
Ben
Aren't we going to go back to say goodbye or anything?
No. No, I must go at once.
Ben
Oh well, you better have this. We don't want you catching your death of cold.
(Ben hands the Doctor his cloak) Ah, yes! Thank you. It's good. (starts leaving, then turns back) Keep warm.
[inside the TARDIS, the Doctor is regenerating. Ben and Polly watch in amazement as the frail old man changes into a younger figure. Ben and Polly discuss the "new" Doctor lying on the floor of the TARDIS] His face, his hair. Look at it!
Ben
He's breathing, and the TARDIS seems to be normal.
Ben, what are we going to do? We can't just leave the Doctor there.
Ben
What, him? The Doctor?
Well that's who came through the doors - there was no one else outside. Ben, do you remember what he said in the tracking room? Something about "This old body of mine is wearing a bit thin".
Ben
So he gets himself a new one?
[the Doctor awakens and mutters to himself] Slower. Slower. Concentrate on one thing. One thing. It's over. Hmm, hmm, hmm. It's over.
Ben
Doctor?
[the Doctor turns and stumbles over the console. Mutters to himself] The muscles are still a bit tight.
Ben
What are we gonna do?
It is the Doctor. I know it is... - I think.
Ben
It's not just his face that's changed. He doesn't even act like him!
[The Doctor explains his regeneration.]
Ben
The Doctor always wore this. If you are him it should fit... That settles it!
I'd like to see a butterfly fit into a chrysalis case after it spreads its wings.
Life depends on change, and renewal.
Ben
Oh, that's it, you've been renewed, have you?"
Renewed? Have I? That's it, I've been renewed. It's part of the TARDIS. Without it I couldn't survive.
Now, Lesterson's fanatic. The Governor's jealous of his own position. What does that suggest to you?
[the Doctor answers himself]
Dunno. Hadn't thought about it. That all is not well with this colony. Add to that one Dalek!
Ben
Oh, blimey, you don't half make mountains, don't you? One Dalek?
[explaining] Yes! All that is needed to wipe out this entire colony.
Lesterson, what have you done? What have you done?
LLesterson
I'll show you. Janley, now!
Ben
It recognised the Doctor. It recognised him!
What's the matter, Doctor? Are you all right?
The fools. The stupid fools!
Ben
You're scared. What can it do?
LLesterson
This creation is called, I understand, a Dalek.
Ben
It knew who you were. It sounds ridiculous, but it did.
Ben
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.
Yes, it will end the colony's problems, because it will end the colony!
LLesterson
It, it spoke! Janley, did you hear it? It can actually talk.
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.
There we are! In perfect flight!
Oh, and look what happened last time!
Oh, and all that a lot of fuss, it was just a bumpy landing, that's all, it won't happen again!
Ben
What are you up to now?
Let's have a look at the time scanner.
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...
Oh, nonsense! I, haven't used it much, it's, not very reliable as you can see..
