(21 December 1963 - 1 February 1964)
We'd better keep an eye on him. He seems to have a knack of getting himself into trouble.
“The Daleks” · Season 1, Episode 2

You will move ahead of us and follow my directions. This way. Immediately!
Stay in the light!
I'm just fed up no-one believes me.
I wonder if the Daleks have seen us.
Seen you?
I mean, if they call us mutations...what must they be like?
Yes. But just a minute. They have no pick-up or anything. And only the base of the machine touches the floor. How do they complete the circuit?
Batteries?
No, no. I believe the Daleks have discovered a way to exploit static electricity. Very ingenious, if I'm right.
What, drawing power from the floor?
Precisely. If I'm right, of course. Now, what do we know apart from guessing how they are powered?
They're afraid of you because you're different from them. So whatever you do, it doesn't matter.
D2Dalek 2
We need radiation to survive. So we must increase our supply of radiation.
D1Dalek 1
But there is only one way to do that.
D2Dalek 2
Exactly. We may have to explode another neutron bomb.
D1Dalek 1
We do not have to adapt to the environment. We will change the environment to suit us.
(new Thal leader) There is no indignity in being afraid to die, but there is a terrible shame in being afraid to live.
My dear child! Haven't you realized what I've done? A few simple tools, a superior brain...
[Ian, traveling with Barbara and Thals, nearly falls at a sudden drop in a dark cave.]
No place for a quiet stroll, is it?
We will examine your machine.
No. Not unless you stop what you're doing. Otherwise I won't explain its secrets to you and its philosophy of movement.
Now we know of the machine, we can examine it for ourselves.
But you can't operate it without me.
Every problem has a solution.
I never fight against the inevitable, it's a vain occupation. But I would advise you to reconsider what you consider to be inevitable. It is amazing how often apparent defeat can be turned into victory.
[The Daleks intend to flood the planet Skaro with radiation so that they alone may survive]
Nothing can live outside if you do that. Nothing.
Except the Daleks.
When do you intend to put this into operation?
Now.
This senseless, evil killing...!
