Rani Chandra quotes from The Sarah Jane Adventures

Rani

Yes... hello, an ethnic person in the fifties! Hi!

Rani

I'm looking for a woman, short, brown hair, very pretty, probably with her son. He's a bit... weird.

Rani

Have you seen anything strange? I mean, around the school?

Luke

Like what?

Langer! My office, now!

Rani

Look, there's something I've got to tell you. Something about me you ought to know.

Clyde

You're from another planet! I already guessed.

Luke

(Noticing a car pulling up behind Clyde) Actually, Clyde it's worse than that.

Clyde

(Noticing as well) Oh no. Rani, please tell me there's a good reason why our new head just pulled up outside your house that doesn't involve the word "Dad".

Rani

I thought you were a journalist?

Sarah Jane

I am.

Rani

With alien gizmos in her attic? Who doesn't bat an eyelid at a shape-changing alien clown pied piper thing?

Sarah Jane

That's more of a hobby.

Sarah Jane

When it comes to getting a true glimpse of the universe there are two types of people: those who refuse to believe, that would tell themselves anything to deny the evidence of their eyes, and those that embrace the universe and just how special life is. I want it to stay that way by keeping it safe and secret.

Rani

And that's me?

Sarah Jane

That's all of us.

Rani

Have you made an appointment?

Sarah Jane

Oh no, this is going to be an old-fashioned foot-in-the-door job.

Rani

Need another pair of feet?

Martin

How have you done this?

Luke

I wasn't born. I have no birthday.

Clyde

No star sign.

Luke

So astrology doesn't work on me. The circle was like an electrical circuit. I broke it.

Rani

Like you did before, you touched Clyde. It shorted the power!

Martin

What are you?

Sarah Jane

He's my son, and he's the centre of my universe.

You picked it up at school. I saw you. And you've used it.

Rani

It's fading.

Yeah, it does that when you stop using it. I'm talking about this like it's normal! At first, I was just having fun, y'know? I just wanted people to like me. That's not bad, is it?

Rani

Jacob, I need to know where you found it.

Back of the school yard, y'know, where they're putting those pipes in? It was lying there in the mud. And it looked really really nice, so I picked it up.

Rani

And then you used it on people?!

It was an accident! At first. The more you use it... it's like... it talks to you. It's like... glowing on the pendant, and then in your hand and then... I think it's evil.

Rani

I know someone who can get rid of it.

What are gonna do?

Rani

It's going to be ok.

Rani

We could go through there, into another time. Might never get the chance again.

Clyde

Can't we just have a look? Five minutes?

Sarah Jane

No! I'm sorry Clyde, but it's too dangerous. You've seen it in the movies - you go back, you change one tiny thing, and there's terrible consequences.

Rani

But you've travelled through time in the TARDIS.

Sarah Jane

With the Doctor, who knew what he was doing... most of the time.

Rani

Something happened when she went back in time.

Clyde

And it's up to you, my young Padawan, [taps Luke on the cheek] to find out the whole story.

Sarah Jane

What are you all doing here!

Clyde

We have a test coming up-

Rani

And Luke's helping us revise.

Sarah Jane

Why is Mr Smith still on?

Mr Smith

Sarah Jane's car is now outside the house.

Clyde

Big Mouth! You did that on purpose.

Sarah Jane

K-9 What's going on here?

I have been told to withhold information.

Sarah Jane

What exactly was that information?

I was told by Mistress Rani to not tell you that you were being followed.

Rani

The gob on you!

Rani

[about the rakweed] It's such an amazing opportunity.

Clyde

Yeah, but it could all be a trap.

Rani

They're Blathereen, not Slitheen.

Clyde

Aww, Slitheen, Blathereen... whatever-een! They're from Raxacorico...doo-da. And that place has a seriously dodgy reputation.

Rani

You can't condemn an entire race just because a few of them are bad. There are bad people on Earth too.

Clyde

How's the pot plant? Savaged anyone in the night?

Rani

That's not funny, Clyde. This rakweed stuff might be amazing. It could feed millions of people.

Clyde

Yeah. Yeah, but it will probably still taste like salad. Like the world needs more salad.

Rani

Do you know what cynical means?

Clyde

It's what I call being realistic.

Rani

Using K-9 to pass a test. Even by your standards this is a whole new level of stupid.

Clyde

We may not be allowed textbooks, but no one said anything about a super intelligent robot dog from the year 5000.

Rani

You're insane.

Clyde

Yep, an insane genius!
