Do you think I don't know the difference between an internal fault and an external influence! No, no, no, there's something going on here. Some dirty work they won't touch with their lily white hands!
“The Brain of Morbius” · Season 13, Episode 5
In this episode: Fourth Doctor (6), Sarah Jane Smith (2)
The Doctor [standing outside the opened door, in the pouring rain]: Could you spare a glass of water?
[seeing the TARDIS] How did you get her here, by the way?
SKSister of Karn
The power of the Sisterhood.
Really? But . . . you mean you still practise teleportation? How quaint! Now if you got yourself a decent forklift truck . . .
SKSister of Karn
You have but a little time left. Will you waste it prattling nonsense, or confess your guilt?
What do you mean, I have but a little time left?
SKSister of Karn
Before you die.
But I'm only seven hundred and forty-nine. Life doesn't begin until seven hundred and fif-
SKSister of Karn
At the next sun, that is agreed.
Not by me, it isn't. I haven't even been consulted!
If you're going to sit there wallowing in self-pity, I'll bite your nose.
MMorbius
Do you think I care about my ultimate appearance?! Just to walk again, to feel, to see...!
SSolon
Naturally, that is how you think now, my lord. But when you are once more a physical entity, imagine how you will see yourself then. Think how it will be then!
MMorbius
Solon, I think of nothing else! Trapped like this, like a sponge beneath the sea - yet even a sponge has more life than I! Can you understand a thousandth of my agony?! I, Morbius, who once led the High Council of the Time Lords and dreamed the greatest dreams in history, now reduced to this! To a condition where I envy a vegetable!
[Finding the Doctor on the floor of the lab] Doctor...!
[Opens eyes and sees Sarah not-blind for the first time] Hello, Sarah! Nice to be seen again!
Oh, Doctor!
You thought I was dead, didn't you?
Mmm!
You're always making that mistake.
How many seconds in a month?
Two million, six hundred and seventy-eight thousand, four hundred-- [stops as he sees Morbius arriving]
Short month! [sees Morbius and gasps]
MMorbius
An ingenious idea, Doctor, but ineffectual. Your poison affected only Solon. I have the lungs of a Birastrop.
With a methane filter. What does it feel like to be the biggest mongrel in the universe?
MMorbius
Solon designed this body for efficiency, not for its appearance. To be free again is all that matters!
Free to cause more havoc, more destruction?
MMorbius
The Time Lords will not oppose me again, nor the Sisterhood! When it is learnt that I, Morbius, have returned from the grave, my followers will rise in their millions!
You can't really go on calling yourself Morbius. There's very little of Morbius left! Why don't you think of another name? "Potpourri" would be appropriate!
Or how about "Chop Suey"!
Chop Suey, the Galactic Emperor!
MMorbius
[enraged] YOU will be the first to die!
Brain getting a little overheated, is it? Careful, not as strong as it was!
MMorbius
My brain functions perfectly!
I doubt it, Morbius! All that time in a tank, it's gone soft! Do you dare put it to the test?
MMorbius
What test?
We have all the apparatus here. I challenge you to a mindbending contest.
MMorbius
I am a Time Lord of the first rank! What are you?!
Oh, nothing, nothing, a mere nobody! But I don't think you're in the first rank any more.
MMorbius
Very well, Doctor. If that is how you want to die, I accept your challenge!
There's a sporting gentleman!
What's mindbending?
Time Lord wrestling. It's usually a game, but it can end in death-lock.
MMorbius
It will, Doctor! I, Morbius, do not play games!
Neither do I. Are you ready?
