DDoris
You don't regret it, do you?
Giving up teaching?
DDoris
Leaving United Nations Intelligence Taskforce.
No. My blood and thunder days are long past.

A missile convoy!
A nuclear missile convoy.
How can you tell?
It has a graveyard stench.
Among all the varied wonders of the universe, there's nothing so firmly clamped shut as the military mind.
BBambera
Well done, Zbrigniev. Two civilians waltz up with a pair of antiquated pass cards and you let them in, why?
ZZbrigniev
Sir...
BBambera
You know something, what is it?
ZZbrigniev
Off the record, sir?
BBambera
Off the record.
ZZbrigniev
When I served under Lethbridge-Stewart, we had a scientific advisor called the Doctor.
BBambera
The man outside?
ZZbrigniev
No, sir, but-
BBambera
But?
ZZbrigniev
He changed his appearance, several times.
BBambera
A disguise...
ZZbrigniev
No, sir. The word was he changed his whole physical appearance.
BBambera
His whole appearance?
ZZbrigniev
And his personality.
BBambera
How can he be the same man if his appearance and personality have changed?
ZZbrigniev
I don't know, sir.
BBambera
What do you know, Zbrigniev?
ZZbrigniev
Just that whenever this Doctor turns up....
BBambera
Yes?
ZZbrigniev
All hell breaks loose.
[Doris takes a call from 'Geneva']
Tell them I've retired. Tell them I've decided to fade away.
AAncelyn
[Discussing The Doctor] He has many many names. But in my reckoning he is Merlin.
You recognise my face then?
AAncelyn
No. Not your aspect, but your manner that betrays you. Do you not ride the ship of time? Does it not deceive the senses; being larger within than without?
What's down there?
WWarmsly
Don't ask me. I've only been excavating this site for ten years.
With any luck, a tunnel.
A dark mysterious one?
Probably.
Leading to unknown dangers?
Indubitably.
Oh, wicked.
LLLieutenant Lavel
Sir, we do not the situation here.
The situation, Lavel, is normal. And it doesn't get any worse than that.
[Morgaine sees The Brigadier for the first time]
MMorgaine
A warrior, no less! How goes the day?
I've had better.
MMorgaine
I am Morgaine, the sun-killer. Dominator of the thirteen worlds and battle queen of the S'Rax. What say you?
BBrigiadier
I am Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. Surrender now and we can avoid bloodshed.
Oh dear. Women. Not really my field.
Don't worry, Brigadier. People will be shooting at you soon.
You've got enough weapons here to fight a war.
That's the general idea.
It'll be useless, Brigadier.
Not this time, Doctor. [Opens an ammo box and holds up a round to show The Doctor] Armour-Piercing, solid core with a Teflon coating; go through a Dalek.
A non-stick bullet.
UNIT's been very busy, Doctor. We've also got high-explosive rounds for Yetis and very efficient armour-piercing rounds for robots. And we've even got gold-tipped bullets for you-know-what.
No silver?
Silver bullets?
Well, you never know...
MMordred
We know you of old Merlin; you will not kill.
I wouldn't count on it!
MMordred
Come then, look me in the eye, end my life. [The Doctor struggles for a moment then releases Mordred] Ha! It is a weakness, this lack of spirit!
[The Brigadier approaches and points his revolver at Mordred's head]
Try me.
MMorgaine
[To Mordred via psychic link] Ware this man, Mordred, he is steeped in blood.
MMordred
My mother will destroy you!
Just between you and me, Mordred, I'm getting a little tired of hearing about your mother.
Exotic alien swords are easy to come by, Aces are rare.
That, Brigadier, was the beginning of the end of the world.
Same as ever, eh Doctor?
