Look, Dodo, you don't know what you might have found out here. No gravity, poisoned atmosphere, all sorts of things. Look, stop prancing around over there. What happens if you get lost?
A bus? Look, what are you talking about? I mean, just where do you think you are?
Ah! Bet you thought you'd caught me, didn't you? Bet you thought I didn't know. Well, I do.
What, this place? I mean, you recognise it? What, with all these strange animals and flowers and things?
[Toucan in the trees.]
Well, you can't have been here before.
Yes, I have. It's just outside London. I came here once with the school. It's called Whipsnade.
Flowers from America. A bird from Africa. A snake from Brazil. And now an elephant from India.
Well then, use it, my child! We must do something about that cold of yours. That reminds me, why are you dressed in these stupid clothes? Have you been footling about in my wardrobe? Is that what it is? What do you think you're playing at, crusades?
Yes, you do, my dear. Now you take care of them because you never know when we might use them. Now, I suggest we take a last look round and we'll get you off to bed.
Oh, you're not going to send me home, are you?
Home? Ho, ho! What an idea. I couldn't send you home even if I wanted to.
Oh, that's all right, then. I think I'm beginning to enjoy this space travel or whatever it is
No, no, no, dear boy. All this is a spaceship!
Hey, Doctor? If this is a spaceship what are they?
A group of Monoids appear and circle them]
Well, you did come, my dear, so it's too late to be worry about that. And stop snivelling!
I'm not snivelling. It's me nose running again! Anyway, I'm feeling better now but I don't suppose anyone cares.
But of course they care, my dear. Now don't worry. It's not your fault at all. If it's anybody's, it's mine.
Look, do you think this has happened before? That we've carried an infection from one age to another, or even one planet to another?
Oh, I don't want to think it about it, dear boy. It's too horrifying. Though I must say that we're usually very healthy.
It'll spread through the whole ship, become an epidemic.
Well, that depends on the strength of the virus infection.
If it's half as bad as my cold was, it will.
Oh, do blow your nose, child. It's running all over the place.
No, it isn't. I'm crying this time.
[the Doctor sneezes and as he does so he slowly fades away. Steven and Dodo don't notice right away because they are facing each other]
Oh, Doctor, don't say you're catching a cold now.
[Now Steven and Dodo turn toward the Doctor and discover that he's disappeared] Doctor? Well, where are you?
[the Doctor briefly fades in and out of sight but then completely disappears] What do you mean, dear boy? I'm still here, hmm?
What? Oh, nonsense, child! Nonsense! Hmm!
You have! Do you think this is something to do with the Refusians?
You're wrong! This is something far more serious. We're in grave danger. This is some form of attack!
