In this episode: Tenth Doctor (5), Pete Tyler (3), Rose Tyler (2), Mickey (2)
Leave him alone. What's he done wrong?
Oh, you know, just laid a trap that's wiped out the government and left Lumic in charge.
If I was part of all that, do you think I'd leave my wife inside?
Maybe your plan went wrong. Still gives us the right to execute you, though.
Talk about executions, you'll make me your enemy. And take some really good advice: you don't wanna do that!
I thought I was broadcasting to the Security Services - what do I get? Scooby-Doo and his gang! They've even got the van!
No, no, no, but the Preachers know what they're doing. Ricky said he's London's Most Wanted.
Yeah, that's not exactly...
Not exactly what?
I'm London's Most Wanted for... parking tickets.
Great...!
Yeah, they were deliberate. I was fighting the system! Park anywhere, that's me.
Good policy. I do much the same.
Human race. For such an intelligent lot, you aren't half susceptible. Give anyone a chance to take control, and you submit. Sometimes I think you like it. Easy life.
[about Lumic] Why's he doing it?
He's dying. This all started out as a way of prolonging life, of keeping the brain alive at any cost.
[to the Doctor] The thing is, I've seen Cybermen before, haven't I? The head. Those handle shapes in Van Statten's museum...
Ah, there are Cybermen in our universe. They started on an ordinary world just like this, then swarmed across the galaxy. This lot are a parallel version, and they're starting from scratch right here on Earth.
Oh, Lumic, you're a clever man. I'd call you a genius, except I'm in the room. But everything you've invented, you did to fight your sickness. And that's brilliant. That is so human. But once you get rid of sickness and mortality, then what's there to strive for, eh? The Cybermen won't advance, you'll just stop! You'll stay like this forever. A metal Earth with metal men and metal thoughts, lacking the one thing that makes this planet so alive: people! Ordinary, stupid, brilliant people!
Then let's go liberate France.
[incredulous] What, in a van?
There's nothing wrong with a van. I once saved the universe with a big yellow truck!
