Doctor Who · Season 4, Episode 3

The Doctor, Lesterson and others in “The Power of the Daleks”

Lesterson, what have you done? What have you done?

LLesterson

I'll show you. Janley, now!

It recognised the Doctor. It recognised him!

What's the matter, Doctor? Are you all right?

The fools. The stupid fools!

You're scared. What can it do?

Nothing yet.

LLesterson

This creation is called, I understand, a Dalek.

It knew who you were. It sounds ridiculous, but it did.

It knew who I was.

The Dalek knows who you are.

LLesterson

Now, look at it. I have merely given it electrical power, but it is capable of storing it. Moreover, it responds to orders. Turn around. [The Dalek obeys] Move that chair. [The Dalek pushes the chair across the room] Stop. [The Dalek stops] You see? Well, just think what this could do for our mining program, our processing, packaging. Dozens of labour jobs, Governor. It may even supply the end to all this Colony's problems.

Yes, it will end the colony's problems, because it will end the colony!

I am your servant.

LLesterson

It, it spoke! Janley, did you hear it? It can actually talk.

It can do many things, Lesterson. But the thing it does most efficiently is exterminate human beings. It destroys them, without mercy, without conscience. It destroys them. Utterly. Completely. It destroys them.

[Trying to drown out The Doctor] I am your servant. I am your servant. I am your servant. I am your servant. I am your servant.
