Benton and The Master in “The Time Monster”

Put your hands in the air, both of you. Get them up. Now turn around slowly. Slowly.

Well, well, well. The resourceful Sergeant Benton.

You didn't really think you could fool me with a fake telephone call, did you? It's the oldest trick in the book.

I underestimated you, Sergeant. How did you know?

Simple. The Brigadier's not in the habit of calling Sergeants "my dear fellow".

Ah. The tribal taboos of army etiquette. I find it difficult to identify with such primitive absurdities.

Yes, well, primitive or not, mate, you're still in the soup without a ladle, aren't you.

Now, Sergeant, you must let me explain.

Keep back! Keep back.

Yes, of course.

[Benton looks behind him and the Master grabs his gun arm, making him drop the pistol and throws him to the floor. Benton hits his head against a filing cabinet and is out for the count]

You're wrong, Sergeant Benton! That is the oldest trick in the book!
