Rani Chandra quotes from The Sarah Jane Adventures

Luke

It's just a dream. Everybody has them, don't they?

Rani

Yeah, I suppose it must be because you're leaving home. You know, everything's been a bit intense and that just activated the dream switch. You're growing up, gettin' old.

Luke

I'm growing up so I start having nightmares. [sarcastically] Great!

Rani

Yep, and the rest of us get spots. I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh, your nightmares haven't even begun!

Luke

Just listen to me.

Why?

Luke

Because you keep telling me about you and what you want. You've never asked about me.

[laughs] What are you talking about?!

Luke

But you're just an alien. Well, I'm called Luke Smith, and I was made by aliens to destroy the world! But this brilliant woman, Sarah Jane Smith - she found me, and she made me good. And she found others. A boy called Clyde, and a girl called Rani. This world has faced so many nightmares and there's always been someone there to stop them. Us. You know, I was so scared because I thought my mates wouldn't be there from me. [breathing hard] Never mind Oxford, they followed me into my nightmares! Three kids breaking down the walls of dreams to be together. Something no one's ever done before. Because together, we are unbeatable!

[claps] Ooh, very good! But do you really think words can stop a creature like me?

Luke

I wasn't talking to you!

Rani

He's right! [she and Clyde walk over to Luke and stand beside him, facing the Nightmare Man]

Clyde

Because together, we stop the monsters!

Rani

We stop the nightmares! [she takes Luke's hand]

Luke

Because when we're together, [Clyde takes Luke's other hand] we're not scared. You've got no hold of us now.

Clyde

[Luke, Rani, and Clyde slowly walk towards the Nightmare Man, who backs away] 'Cause we're brilliant when we're together.

[grunting in pain and clutching his head] Get away from me!

Luke

So there you go. The boy that was made by aliens to destroy the world saves the world yet again! [the Nightmare Man falls through a door into Clyde's old nightmare]

Oh! Hello, love! [door slams shut]

No...I can't be trapped here! This can't happen to me! Let me out! Children of Earth! I demand you sleep! And you dream! And you fear! You will fear me!

C'mon, now! Come and sit down! And I'll tell you all about my brilliant son!

No...!

His name's Luke Smith, and he's going to live happily ever after!

NOOOOOOO!!!

Sarah Jane

Why did I ever trust Androvax?

Rani

You were doing what you thought was right, we were trying to help him!

Clyde

Well, some people, you just can't help.

Rani

What if I'd've told them, Clyde? Maybe none of this would have happened!

Clyde

Maybe it wouldn't have made any difference. Look, I know Sarah Jane doesn't believe in fate, but I reckon that Time and the Universe... They're not random. Everything's sort of tied together by these invisible strings. Like your mum joining BURPSS, or Ocean Waters having that disk thing.

Rani

You mean if something's gonna happen, it's gonna happen?

Clyde

Yeah. [Rani and Clyde are holding hands; they both notice and Clyde lets go, moving away] Well... s-some things, anyway. But we're going to save your mum now, so if it's the Universe against Clyde Langer, then the Universe had better bring some mates! [cringes]

Good, so gosh, that was different. Hello, everyone!

Rani

Who are you? Where's Clyde?

Come on, Rani, use your brain; Clyde and I swapped places, yes? So I'm where he was, he's where I was, which means right now— oh. He's in a lot of trouble...

Sarah Jane

It's you, isn't it? Oh, you've done it again!

[smiles] Hello, Sarah Jane.

Sarah Jane

Doctor? [the Doctor nods]

Rani

[gapes] That's the Doctor?

What, Doctor? The Doctor?! My Doctor?!

Sarah Jane

Well, he can change his face-

Oh, I know...but into a baby's?

Oi, imagine it from my point of view! Last time I saw you Jo Grant, you were, what, twenty? Twenty-one? It's like someone baked you!

Rani

What if it's just the two of us left in the whole wide world?

Clyde

Like Adam and Eve!

Rani

[distantly] Yeah... [beat] No! There's got to be someone else! There's got to be!

Mistress Ellen

Your majesty, may I present Lady, um...

Rani

Lady Rani, um, from the court of the...Taj Mahal

Forgive me, but I thought the request was for an elderly companion. And I heard the Countess of Arondal was already on her way. Your majesty, can we trust this...foreigner?

Rani

I hope the Queen will judge me on my own character just as she might judge you on yours.

Well said. Lady Matilda, where are your manners? I say again leave us. [Lady Matilda leaves] And what is this you bring?

Rani

It's a music box. Go on, open it.

How is this possible?

Rani

They're dead clever where I come from.

Thank you Lady Rani, I will treasure this forever.

Tell me again I am not forgotten.

Rani

I promise you. Not by your people, and not by history. And never by me.

Goodbye Rani, my friend. It is time for me to leave you now.

Rani

And me to leave you. Goodbye Jane.

Mistress Ellen

It is witchcraft!

Lady Rani is not of this world. She is no witch, Ellen. She is an angel. I have always suspected so. And as angels speak only the truth, I know I do not die in vain.

Rani

[on the phone] They're still not answering.

Sarah Jane

Come on! [to Rivers] Thank you, Celeste!

My pleasure! Oh, and be careful.

Sarah Jane

Never careful. [whips out her sonic lipstick] Always prepared! [exits]

[alone, she takes out her lipstick and plays with it] Zap! Zap, zap!

Sarah Jane

[pulls out her sonic lipstick] I won't let you hurt this child.

She is no child. She is a weapon.

And she is underprimed. She is not ready for this. [points at Sarah Jane] You have doomed us all.

Rani

What's going on?

Sarah Jane

Sky's energy. It's flooding out.

Yes, the weapon is priming itself. [to the metal man] Your presence has activated it. The doom of the Metalkind has come.

Sarah Jane

Sky?

Mr Smith

Biologically, Sky appears to be a healthy twelve-year-old child.

Sky

Twelve? Is that a good age?

Rani

Wait until the spots start.

Rani

They're not exactly fashion, but you'll be alright.

Sky

What's fashion?

Rani

Well, clothes. Like wearing nice clothes. Made for a girl.

Sky

What's a girl?

Rani

[sighs] And Clyde thought he had it tough with Luke. Okay, let's log on to Ranipedia.

Rani

Did you just see that?

Clyde

Yep. I reckon Sparky hasn't totally lost her spark.
