“Horror of Fang Rock” quotes from Doctor Who

The localised condition of planetary atmospheric condensation caused a malfunction in the visual orientation circuits. Or to put it another way, we got lost in the fog.

Are you in charge here?

No, but I'm full of ideas!

Now I remember: Reuben the Rutan!

You know our form?

Well, when you've seen one Rutan, you've seen them all.

We are a Rutan scout. We are specially trained in the new metamorphosis techniques.

Well, I expect you'll get better at it in time. What are you doing in this part of the galaxy, anyway?

That doesn't concern you! You are to be destroyed.

Got it. You're at last losing that interminable war with the Sontarans.

[offended] That is a lie!

Is it? You used to own the whole of the Mutter's Spiral once. Now the Sontarans have driven you to the farthest fringes of the galaxy.

The glorious Rutan army is making a series of strategic withdrawals to selected strongpoints.

Rutan, that's the empty rhetoric of a defeated dictator, and I don't like your face either.

Your mockery will end with your race, Earthling, when the mighty Rutan Battlefleet occupies this planet.

Why invade an obscure planet like Earth? It's of no value to you.

The planet is obscure. But its strategic position is sound. We shall use it as a launch point for our final assault on the Sontaran rabble.

But if you set up a power base here, the Sontarans will bombard it with photonic missiles.

That is unimportant. It will serve the course of our final, glorious victory.

And what about its people?

Primitive bipeds of no value. We scouted all the planets of this solar system - only this one suits our purpose.

I can understand your military purposes, but why murder a handful of harmless humans?

It is necessary! Until we return to our Mothership, and the Mothership informs the fleet, no one must know of our visit to Earth.

[mocking] But you crashed, didn't you? Just as you made your discovery, you failed!

Failed? We are sending a signal to the Mothership, with the power from the primitive mechanism below.

[shows a severed antenna] You're not, you know.

It's of no importance. The ship will home in on the primary signal.

I'm sorry to disappoint you. I fixed that as well, oyster-face.

[prideful] All your interference is useless! The beam was transmitted - long enough for the Mothership to trace the signal.

You can't be certain of that.

[firm] It will come.

But by then, you'll be dead!

[confident] What could you Earthlings possibly do to us?

[heading upstairs] Well, if you'll just step this way, I'll show you...

Your triumph... will be short, Earthling... Our Mothership... will blast this island... into molten rock!

Leela

Empty threats, Rutan! Enjoy your death as I enjoyed killing you!

We die... for the glory of our race!... Long live... the Rutan Empire!
