There we are! Well, what do you think?
I don't know... I can't believe it! [The Doctor chuckles] It's so big! Where are we?
Well it's the TARDIS! It's my home! At least it has been for a considerable number of years...
What are all these knobs?
What, these? [Flicks a panel of levers] Instruments.
These are for controlling our flight.
Well, yes! You see, we travel around in here through time and space!
Oh, no, no, no, no, don't laugh, it's true! Your father and Maxtible were working on the same problem! But I have, perfected a, rather special model, that allows me to travel through the universe of time.
How can you? I mean, if what you say is true, then you must be about, well.... how, old..?
Well, if we counted Earth terms, I suppose I must be about 400.... yes, about 450 years old! Quite...
Now, I think Victoria might find that dress a little impractical if she's going to join us on our adventures. Jamie, show her where she can find some new ones.
And try to give us a smooth takeoff Doctor, we don't want to frighten her.
A smooth takeoff...? A SMOOTH TAKEOFF? WHAT A NERVE! [He dematerialises the TARDIS, clearly annoyed with what Jamie had said]
You look very nice in that dress, Victoria.
Thank you. Don't you think it's a bit...
A bit short? Oh, I shouldn't worry about that. Look at Jamie's.
[offended] Hey, I'll have you know that- [looks at his kilt] Oh, aye.
EKEric Klieg
Doctor, you seem to be very familiar with this place.
Oh no, not really, um, it's all based on symbolic logic, the same as you use in computers. The opening mechanism to this door, an or-gate you call it.
EKEric Klieg
Yes yes, I can see that, but how did you know in the first place?
Oh, I used my own special technique.
EKEric Klieg
Oh really Doctor, and may we know what that is?
Keeping my eyes open and my mouth shut.
Are you happy with us, Victoria?
Yes, I am. At least, I would be if my father were here.
I wonder what he would have thought if he could see me now.
You miss him very much, don't you?
It's only when I close my eyes. I can still see him standing there, before those horrible Dalek creatures came to the house. He was a very kind man, I shall never forget him. Never.
No, of course you won't. But, you know, the memory of him won't always be a sad one.
I think it will. You can't understand, being so ancient.
You probably can't remember your family.
Oh yes, I can when I want to. And that's the point, really. I have to really want to, to bring them back in front of my eyes. The rest of the time they... they sleep in my mind and I forget. And so will you. Oh yes, you will. You'll find there's so much else to think about. To remember. Our lives are different to anybody else's. That's the exciting thing! There's nobody in the universe can do what we're doing.
Don't you see what this is going to mean to all the people who come to serve Klieg the all powerful? Why, no country, no person would dare to have a single thought that was not your own. Eric Klieg's own conception of the, of the way of life!
EKEric Klieg
Brilliant! Yes, yes, you're right. Master of the world.
Well now I know you're mad, I just wanted to make sure.
You belong to us. You shall be like us.
?The Professor
How did you know we would release you? You could have remained frozen forever.
The humanoid mind. You are inquisitive.
Ah, I see. A trap. A very special sort of trap too.
?The Professor
What do you mean special trap?
They wanted superior intellects. That's why they made the trap so complicated!
We knew that somebody like you would come to our planet someday.
Yes. We've done exactly as you calculated, haven't we?
Jamie, I hope you made those ropes secure.
Oh, the King of the Beasties himself couldnae get out of that one.
[The re-energized Cyber Controller easily punches his way out of Jamie's impromptu restraints]
Jamie, remind me to give you a lesson in tying knots, sometime.
[The Doctor and Jamie are faced with an inactive Yeti.]
Have you thought up some clever plan, Doctor?
Yes, Jamie, I believe I have.
What are you going to do?
AAnnouncement
Red state emergency. Evacuation phase three. Phase three evacuate. Transport section leaders report now. Phase three evacuation.
[A woman walks towards them.]
We're discovered. [She pins labels on the travellers] Oh, thank you.
Thank you. Excuse me, miss, I'm Jamie McCrimmon, do you think you could tell us where we are?
[The woman walks away]
She doesn't want to know, Jamie.
Hey, this says we're on evacuation flight seven.
That's rather inhospitable. We've only just arrived.
Hey, and this tag, it says I'm a scavenger. And yours does too! Here, we're not beggars.
[The Doctor listens at a door]
It sounds like electronic machinery. Like a computer. But there's something wrong with its pitch.
Oh, no. Now look, it might be dangerous. Now let's leave it.
[Smiles mischievously] Let's go in!
In 2 minutes 38 seconds, you're going to have an almighty explosion! The readings say so!
Well how can you possibly know that? I haven't even -- I haven't even processed them through the computer yet!
[After handing out instructions and averting the disaster]
Yes, that should hold it steady. It's not a perfect job, mind you. You ought to get an expert in, you know.
How did you -- it was all a bluff, wasn't it, that 2 minutes 38 seconds to danger.
Oh no, it was near enough correct. Give or take a second.
Check it on your precious computer then.
Garret [reads to computer]: Ioniser fall rate, 7 2.4. Ion compensator, minus 1 7 degrees. Ion flow rate, 1 3 7 9. Assessment please.
CComputer
Immediate emergency. In two minutes thirty seven seconds, the reactor will explode.
Well, a second out. We can't all be perfect.
Did you see how those lassies were dressed?
Yes, I did. And trust you to think of something like that.
Well, I couldn't help thinking about it.
Well, I think it's disgusting, wearing that kind of… thing.
Oh, aye, so it is, so it is. You, eh, you don't see yourself dressed like that then?
Oh, I'm sorry. It was, eh, just an idea.
We will now change the subject, please. I want to look at this man.
[Behind the curtain, the warrior flexes his claw, opens his mouth and moves his head.]
