Doctor Who · Season 5, Episode 6

The Doctor, Jamie and others in “Fury from the Deep”

If you don't mind my saying so, Mister Van Lutyens, I think this is a very bad idea of yours. You don't know what you're up against.

Aye, you wouldn't catch me down there.

CChief

Why don't we wait until Mister Harris comes back, sir?

VLVan Lutyens

The only way to find out if this weed stuff of yours is blocking the base of the impeller is to go down and have a look.

CChief

Look, Mister Van Lutyens, I have no authority to send my men down there.

VLVan Lutyens

I realize that. That's why I'm going down.

CChief

By yourself?

VLVan Lutyens

Oh yes.

CChief

I wouldn't go down. Well, I hope you know what you're doing, sir.

VLVan Lutyens

I think so.

I wish you wouldn't do this, Mister Van Lutyens.

VLVan Lutyens

I can't sit about waiting any longer. I have no position of authority here but I do have the run of the company installations, and if I can do nothing else I can at least inspect the base of the impeller shaft. [puts on a gas mask and steps through the airlock onto the impeller shaft lift platform] Tot straks.

Good luck.

Aye, you'll need it.

CChief

All right, lower him down.

[Oak and quill are at the lift controls]
