S25 E1Remembrance of the Daleks

You were expecting these Daleks, weren't you?

Yes, they're following me.

I wouldn't be so pleased if I had a bunch of Daleks on my case.

You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies.

What do you make of that?

It's a playground.

The burn marks. See them? Well?

A landing pattern for some kind of spacecraft, isn't it?

Very good.

But this is Earth, 1963. Well someone would've noticed, I'd have heard about it!

Do you remember the Zygon gambit with the Loch Ness monster? Or the Yetis in the underground?

The what?

Your species has the most amazing capacity for self-deception, matched only by its ingenuity when trying to destroy itself.

What are we looking for?

Shush. Whoever it was landed the spaceship in the playground.

And that would be?

More Daleks.

Oh, great. I thought it might be something really nasty(!)

Ah, the cellar. It could be down in there.

Why the cellar?

Good place to put things, cellars.

What about the Dalek? Won't he try and stop us?

Quite possibly. Stay close behind.

Hey. It must have gone back down to the cellar.

[Wrong]

You will be exterminated!

JJohn

Sugar?

Ah. A decision... Would it make any difference?

JJohn

Would make your tea sweet.

Yes, but beyond the confines of my taste buds, would it make any difference?

JJohn

Not really.

But...

JJohn

Yeah?

What if I could control people's taste buds? What if I decided that no one would take sugar? That'd make a difference to those who sell the sugar and those who cut the cane.

JJohn

My father, he was a cane cutter!

Exactly. Now if no one had used sugar, your father wouldn't have been a cane cutter.

JJohn

If this sugar thing had never started, my great grandfather wouldn't have been kidnapped, chained up and sold in Kingston in the first place. I'd be a African.

Every great decision creates ripples, like a huge boulder dropped in a lake. The ripples merge and rebound off the banks in unforeseeable ways. The heavier the decision, the larger the waves, the more uncertain the consequences.

JJohn

Life's like that. Best thing is just to get on with it.

UUndertaker

[On the phone] Hello, governor? Somebody's come to collect that big casket. [pause] Yes, yes the Doctor. [pause] Just one thing, governor: I thought you said he was an old geezer with white hair!

You were hired as a chief scientific adviser, one tends to expect advice from one's adviser.

JProfessor Jensen

For one thing, Group Captain, I was not hired, I was drafted. And for another, do you think I'm enjoying having some space vagrant come along and tell me that the painstaking research I have devoted my life to, has been superseded by a bunch of tin-plated pepper pots?!

Steady on, Professor!

JProfessor Jensen

"Steady on"?! You drag me down from Cambridge, you quote the Peacetime Emergency Powers Act and me, and then you expect me to advise on something outside the scope of human experience! [sighs] Bluntly, Group Captain, we are dependent on the Doctor because only the Doctor knows what is going on!

[The Doctor explains the history of the Hand of Omega.]

It's called that because Time Lords have an infinite capacity for pretension.

Noticed that.

JProfessor Jensen

Doctor, we've had a report of a radar contact.

On a re-entry curve from low orbit?

JProfessor Jensen

Yes.

That'll be the Imperial Dalek shuttlecraft.

What? They're not landing a spaceship here.

Here? No. We're much too far from the main action.

[sound of landing jets outside]

JProfessor Jensen

You're sure...?

[staring out the window at the Dalek shuttle landing in the school playground] Cor!

Ace, get away from the window! Down!

[everybody ducks from flying debris as the windows shatter]

I think I might have miscalculated.

Ace.

Go away.

Ace, I didn't know it was the Daleks. I was just doing Mister Ratcliffe a favour.

Do me a favour and drown yourself.

I thought it was the right thing. Mister Ratcliffe had such great plans. [grabs Ace's arms]

[wrenches herself free] Shut up.

Ace, I never really wanted to hurt anybody. It's just you have to protect your own, keep the outsiders out just that your own people can have a fair chance.

[hits Mike] I said shut up! You betrayed the Doctor, you betrayed me! I trusted you! I even liked you, and all the time, you... [runs off]

The Daleks shall become Lords of Time! We shall become all-

[The Doctor finishes his sentence.]

Powerful! Crush the lesser races! Conquer the galaxy! UNIMAGINABLE POWER! UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING, ETCETERA, ETCETERA!

Dalek, you have been defeated. Surrender! You have failed.

Insufficient data.

Your forces are destroyed, your home planet a burnt cinder circling a dead sun.

There is no data.

Even Davros, your creator, is dead. You have no superiors, no inferiors, no reinforcements, no hope, no rescue!

You are lying! There is insufficient data!

You're trapped, a trillion miles and a thousand years from a disintegrated home. I have defeated you. You no longer serve any purpose.

S25 E2The Happiness Patrol

KKandyman

Welcome to the Kandy Kitchen, gentlemen!

I'm sure the pleasure's all ours...

KKandyman

I do hope so. I like my volunteers to die with smiles on their faces.
