S13 E5The Brain of Morbius

The Doctor [standing outside the opened door, in the pouring rain]: Could you spare a glass of water?

[seeing the TARDIS] How did you get her here, by the way?

SKSister of Karn

The power of the Sisterhood.

Really? But . . . you mean you still practise teleportation? How quaint! Now if you got yourself a decent forklift truck . . .

SKSister of Karn

You have but a little time left. Will you waste it prattling nonsense, or confess your guilt?

What do you mean, I have but a little time left?

SKSister of Karn

Before you die.

But I'm only seven hundred and forty-nine. Life doesn't begin until seven hundred and fif-

SKSister of Karn

At the next sun, that is agreed.

Not by me, it isn't. I haven't even been consulted!

MMorbius

Do you think I care about my ultimate appearance?! Just to walk again, to feel, to see...!

SSolon

Naturally, that is how you think now, my lord. But when you are once more a physical entity, imagine how you will see yourself then. Think how it will be then!

MMorbius

Solon, I think of nothing else! Trapped like this, like a sponge beneath the sea - yet even a sponge has more life than I! Can you understand a thousandth of my agony?! I, Morbius, who once led the High Council of the Time Lords and dreamed the greatest dreams in history, now reduced to this! To a condition where I envy a vegetable!

[Finding the Doctor on the floor of the lab] Doctor...!

[Opens eyes and sees Sarah not-blind for the first time] Hello, Sarah! Nice to be seen again!

Oh, Doctor!

You thought I was dead, didn't you?

Mmm!

You're always making that mistake.

How many seconds in a month?

Two million, six hundred and seventy-eight thousand, four hundred-- [stops as he sees Morbius arriving]

Short month! [sees Morbius and gasps]

MMorbius

An ingenious idea, Doctor, but ineffectual. Your poison affected only Solon. I have the lungs of a Birastrop.

With a methane filter. What does it feel like to be the biggest mongrel in the universe?

MMorbius

Solon designed this body for efficiency, not for its appearance. To be free again is all that matters!

Free to cause more havoc, more destruction?

MMorbius

The Time Lords will not oppose me again, nor the Sisterhood! When it is learnt that I, Morbius, have returned from the grave, my followers will rise in their millions!

You can't really go on calling yourself Morbius. There's very little of Morbius left! Why don't you think of another name? "Potpourri" would be appropriate!

Or how about "Chop Suey"!

Chop Suey, the Galactic Emperor!

MMorbius

[enraged] YOU will be the first to die!

Brain getting a little overheated, is it? Careful, not as strong as it was!

MMorbius

My brain functions perfectly!

I doubt it, Morbius! All that time in a tank, it's gone soft! Do you dare put it to the test?

MMorbius

What test?

We have all the apparatus here. I challenge you to a mindbending contest.

MMorbius

I am a Time Lord of the first rank! What are you?!

Oh, nothing, nothing, a mere nobody! But I don't think you're in the first rank any more.

MMorbius

Very well, Doctor. If that is how you want to die, I accept your challenge!

There's a sporting gentleman!

What's mindbending?

Time Lord wrestling. It's usually a game, but it can end in death-lock.

MMorbius

It will, Doctor! I, Morbius, do not play games!

Neither do I. Are you ready?

S13 E6The Seeds of Doom

If we don't find that pod before it germinates, it will be the end of everything - EVERYTHING, you understand?! Even your pension!

Will they be able to help that man?

I don't know, Sarah. He's halfway towards becoming a Krynoid.

Krynoid?

Yes. A progression of the pod.

So you recognised it.

Yes, I was fairly certain when I saw the photographs. Now I'm sure.

Well, what is a Krynoid? I mean, what does it do?

I suppose you could call it a galactic weed, except it's deadlier than any weed you know.

In what way?

Well, on most planets, the animals eat the vegetation, hmm?

Mmm hmm.

On planets where the Krynoid gets established, the vegetation eats the animals.

But that's terrifying!

Yes.

Well, how did it get through space?

An obvious question. I wish I knew the answer. Possibly their planet of origin is turbulent from time to time, any internal explosions could cause surface matter to go shooting into space.

So what do we do about Winlett?

I'm thinking, Sarah, I'm thinking.

SScorby

Okay, start talking.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had perfect pitch...

SScorby

[referring to corpse] What happened to him?

Who, Wolfgang Amadeus...? Oh, him. Oh, he died.

We're trying to trace the owner.

ADAmelia Ducat

Isn't it [her painting] yours?

No. We found it in a car boot

ADAmelia Ducat

A car boot?

A Daimler car boot

ADAmelia Ducat

The car is immaterial.

The driver wasn't. He tried to kill us.

Can you remember who bought this particular painting?

ADAmelia Ducat

Well, nobody. I haven't finished it yet.

No, hang about, not that one. This one, Miss Ducat.

Common snakes-head fritillary.

ADAmelia Ducat

Oh, that one. Oh, dear me. It was a long time ago. Now what was his name? Something like face? Mace? Lace?

Pace?

Base?

ADAmelia Ducat

That's right. Chase! Of course. Harrison Chase the millionaire. Good lord. He never paid me!

KKKrynoid/Keeler

Give the Doctor to us. Your lives will then be spared.

SScorby

You better think of something quickly, hadn't you, Doctor!

Oh, Scorby, take no notice of it. I've heard that one before.

SScorby

It sounds like a pretty fair deal to me! How 'bout it, Doctor? You'd lay down your life for others, wouldn't you?

Oh, not to save your skin, not after what you did to us!

SScorby

It's different!

Why is it different?!

SScorby

He'd be sacrificing himself for you, for all of us!

EXCUSE me! Would you mind if I said something?

And you'd better listen, because nobody else knows how to fight that creature!

KKKrynoid/Keeler

Hear this, humans. You have till daybreak to deliver the Doctor.

SScorby

Why wait?! Why not now?!

Scorby, if I die, you die.

SScorby

I'll take a chance on that--

(losing his temper) THERE IS NO CHANCE!

MBMajor Beresford

I've been telling Sir Colin that without the proper authority, I will not launch a raid on someone's private property!

Waffle! Waffle, waffle, waffle!
