“Dalek” quotes from Doctor Who

Your race is dead! You all burnt, all of you! Ten million ships on fire! The entire Dalek race wiped out in one second!

You lie!

I watched it happen! I made it happen!

You destroyed us?!

[sombre] I had no choice.

And what of the Time Lords?

Dead. They burnt with you. The end of the last great Time War. Everyone lost.

And the coward survived.

[mocking] Oh, and I caught your little signal. "Help me". Poor little thing. But there's no one else coming 'cos there's no one else left.

I am alone in the universe?

[smirking] Yep.

So are you. [The Doctor's smirk fades] We are the same.

[enraged] We're not the same, I'm not-- No, wait. Maybe we are. You're right, yeah, okay. You've got a point. 'Cos I know what to do. I know what should happen. I know what you deserve. [pauses dramatically] Exterminate! [he pulls a nearby lever, causing the Dalek to be electrified. The Dalek screams.]

HAVE PITY!

Why should I? You never did!

What are you going to do? Sucker me to death?

I thought you were the great expert, Doctor. If you're so impressive, then why not just reason with this Dalek? It must be willing to negotiate. There must be something it needs. Everything needs something.

What's the nearest town?

Salt Lake City.

Population?

One million.

All dead. If the Dalek gets out, it'll murder every living creature. That's all it wants.

[shouting] But why would it do that?!

Because it honestly believes they should die. Human beings are different, and anything different is wrong. It's the ultimate in racial cleansing, and you, van Statten, you've let it loose!

You're just a soldier without commands.

Then I shall follow the primary order: the Dalek instinct to destroy, to conquer!

What for? What's the point?! Don't you see? It's all gone. Everything you were, everything you stood for.

Then what should I do?

Alright, then. If you want orders, follow this one: Kill yourself.

The Daleks must survive!

The Daleks have failed! Now why don't you finish the job and make the Daleks extinct; rid the universe of your filth?! Why don't you just DIE?!

You would make a good Dalek.

I killed her.

I'm sorry.

I said I'd protect her. She was only here because of me, and you're sorry? I could have killed that Dalek in its cell. But you stopped me.

It was the prize of my collection!

[outraged] YOUR COLLECTION?! Well, was it worth it?! Worth all those men's deaths, worth Rose?! Let me tell you something, van Statten. Mankind goes into space to explore, to be part of something greater!

Exactly! I wanted to touch the stars!

You just want to drag the stars down and stick them underground, underneath tons of sand and dirt, and label them! You're about as far from the stars as you can get! [quietly] And you took her down with you. She was nineteen years old.

Get out of the way! [The Doctor is aiming a hand-held cannon at the Dalek.] Rose, get out of the way now!

No. I won't let you do this.

That thing killed hundreds of people!

It's not the one pointing the gun at me.

I've got to do this. I've got to end it! The Daleks destroyed my home, my people! I've got nothing left!

Look at it.

What's it doing?

It's the sunlight. That's all it wants.

But it can't--

It couldn't kill Van Statten. It couldn't kill me. It's changing. What about you, Doctor? What the hell are you changing into?

[weakly] Are you... frightened, Rose Tyler?

Yeah.

So am I. Ex... ter... min... ate...

[Held by guards] What the hell are you doing?!

Two hundred personnel dead, and all because of you, sir. Take him away, wipe his memory, and leave him by the road someplace.

You can't do this to me! I am Henry van Statten!

And by tonight, Henry van Statten will be a homeless, brainless junkie living on the streets of San Diego, Seattle, Sacramento. Someplace beginning with S.
