- Dalek: Open the bulkhead, or Rose Tyler dies.
- The Doctor: You're alive!
- Rose Tyler: Can't get rid of me.
- The Doctor: I thought you were dead.
- Dalek: Open the bulkhead!
- Rose Tyler: Don't do it!
- Dalek: [to the Doctor] What use are emotions if you will not save the woman you love?
- The Doctor: All right then. If you want orders, follow this one.
- [pause]
- The Doctor: Kill yourself.
- Dalek: The Daleks must survive!
- The Doctor: The Daleks have failed! Why don't you finish the job, and make the Daleks extinct? Rid the universe of your filth! Why don't you just *die*?
- Dalek: [evenly] You would make a good Dalek.
- Dalek: [scared] Keep back!
- The Doctor: [the Doctor confronts the Dalek] What for? What're you going to do to me? Because if you can't kill, then what are you good for... Dalek? What's the point of you? You're nothing! What are you doing here? What the hell are you here for?
- Dalek: I am waiting for orders.
- The Doctor: What does that mean?
- Dalek: I am a solider, I was bred to receive orders.
- The Doctor: Well, you're never going to get any. Not ever.
- Dalek: I DEMAND ORDERS!
- The Doctor: Well they're never gonna *come*! Your race is dead! You all burned, all of you. Ten million ships on fire. The entire Dalek race, wiped out in one second.
- Dalek: You lie!
- The Doctor: I watched it happen. I *made* it happen!
- Dalek: You destroyed us?
- The Doctor: [the Doctor walks away from the Dalek] I had no other choice.
- Dalek: And what of the Time Lords?
- The Doctor: [pause] Dead. They burnt with you. The end of the last great Time War. Everyone lost.
- Rose Tyler: [Rose is confronted by the Dalek] What are you waiting for?
- Dalek: I feel your fear.
- Rose Tyler: What do you expect?
- Dalek: Daleks do not fear, must not fear.
- [shoots wildly twice, missing Rose completely]
- Dalek: You gave me life. What else have you given me? I am contaminated!
- The Doctor: The metal is just battle armour. The real Dalek creature is inside.
- Henry van Statten: What does it look like?
- The Doctor: A nightmare. It's a mutation. The Dalek race was genetically engineered. Every single emotion was removed except hate.
- Henry van Statten: Genetically engineered. By whom?
- The Doctor: [about Davros, the Dalek's creator] By a genius, Van Statten. By a man who was king of his own little world. You'd like him.
- The Doctor: [the Doctor believes Rose has been killed by the Dalek] I could have killed that Dalek in its cell. But you stopped me.
- Henry van Statten: It was the prize of my collection!
- The Doctor: Your collection? Well, was it worth it? Worth all those men's deaths? Worth Rose? Let me tell you something, Van Statten, mankind goes into space to explore, to be part of something greater.
- Henry van Statten: Exactly! I wanted to touch the stars!
- The Doctor: You just want to drag the stars down and stick them underground beneath tons of sand and dirt and label them. You're about as far from the stars as you can get. And you took her down with you.
- Rose Tyler: Hello. Are you in pain? My name's Rose Tyler. I've got a friend, he can help. He's called the Doctor. What's your name?
- Dalek: Yes.
- Rose Tyler: What?
- Dalek: I am in pain. They... torture me, but still they fear me. Do you fear me?
- Rose Tyler: No.
- Dalek: I am dying.
- Rose Tyler: No, we can help.
- Dalek: I welcome death. But I am glad that before I die, I have met a human who was not afraid.
- Rose Tyler: You don't have to do this any more. There must be something else, not just killing. What else is there? What do you want?
- Dalek: I want... freedom.
- Dalek: And the coward survived.
- The Doctor: Oh, and I caught your little signal, help me, poor little thing. But there's no-one else coming cause there's no-one else left.
- Dalek: I am alone in the universe.
- The Doctor: Yep.
- Dalek: So are you. We are the same.
- The Doctor: We're not the same! I'm not the... No, wait, maybe we are... Yeah, right, yeah, okay. You've got a point 'cause I know what to do. I know what should happen. I know what you deserve. Exterminate!
- [he flips a switch which begins to electrocute the Dalek]
- The Doctor: Rose, get out of the way now!
- Rose Tyler: No! Cause I won't let you do this.
- The Doctor: That thing killed hundreds of people.
- Rose Tyler: It's not the one pointing the gun at me.
- The Doctor: I've got to do this, I've got to end it. The Dalek's destroyed my home, my people. I've got nothing left.
- Rose Tyler: Look at it.
- Dalek: Why do we survive?
- The Doctor: I don't know.
- Dalek: I am the last of the Daleks.
- The Doctor: You're not even that. Rose did more than regenerate you. You've absorbed her DNA. You're mutating.
- Dalek: Into what?
- The Doctor: Something new. I'm sorry.
- Rose Tyler: Isn't that better?
- The Doctor: Not for a Dalek.
- Dalek: I can feel. So many ideas. So much darkness. Rose, give me orders. Order me to die.
- Rose Tyler: I can't do that.
- Dalek: This is not life. This is sickness. I shall not be like you. Order my destruction! Obey! *Obey*! O-BEY!
- Rose Tyler: Do it.
- [the Dalek self destructs]
- Rose Tyler: I'm begging you, don't kill him. You didn't kill me.
- Dalek: But why not? Why are you alive? My function is to kill. What am I? What am I?
- The Doctor: So you're just about an expert in everything, except the things in your museum. Anything you don't understand, you lock up.
- Henry van Statten: And you claim greater knowledge?
- The Doctor: I don't need to make claims. I know how good I am.
- Henry van Statten: And yet I captured you. Right next to the Cage. What were you doing down there?
- The Doctor: You tell me.
- Henry van Statten: The Cage contains my one living specimen.
- The Doctor: And what's that?
- Henry van Statten: Like you don't know.
- The Doctor: Show me.
- Henry van Statten: You wanna see it?
- Rose Tyler: Blimey, you can smell the testosterone.
- [the Doctor is being introduced to an unknown alien that Van Statten has christened "The Metaltron" which he keeps in a darkened cell]
- The Doctor: Look, I'm sorry about this. Mr. Van Statten might think he's clever but never mind him. I'm here to help. I'm called The Doctor.
- Metaltron: Doc-tor?
- The Doctor: [shocked] Impossible!
- Metaltron: *The* Doctor?
- [the lights come up, revealing the alien to be a Dalek]
- Dalek: Exterminate! Exterminate!
- The Doctor: Let me out!
- Dalek: EXTERMINATE!
- Diana Goddard: Sir, it's gonna kill him!
- Henry Van Statten: It's talking!
- Dalek: You are an enemy of the Daleks, you must be destroyed!
- [first lines]
- Rose Tyler: So, what is it? What's wrong?
- The Doctor: Don't know, some kind of signal drawing the TARDIS off course.
- Rose Tyler: Where are we?
- The Doctor: Earth, Utah, North America. About half a mile underground.
- Rose Tyler: And... *when* are we?
- The Doctor: 2012.
- Rose Tyler: God, that's so close. So I should be... 26.
- [the Doctor flicks a switch and lights flood the area]
- Rose Tyler: Blimey! It's a great big museum!
- The Doctor: An alien museum. Someone's got a hobby. They must've spent a fortune on this. Chunks of meteorite, moon dust... that's the milometer from the Roswell Spaceship.
- Rose Tyler: That's a bit of Slitheen! That's a Slitheen's arm, it's been stuffed.
- The Doctor: [to a classic Cyberman head in a glass case] Ah! Look at you!
- Rose Tyler: What is it?
- The Doctor: An old friend of mine... well, enemy. The stuff of nightmares reduced to an exhibit. I'm getting old.
- Rose Tyler: Is that where the signal's coming from?
- The Doctor: Nah, it's stone dead. The signal's alive. Something's reaching out. Calling for help.
- [the Doctor lightly touches the glass. Immediately, an alarm goes off and they are promptly surrounded by armed security all pointing their guns at them]
- Rose Tyler: If someone's collecting aliens, that makes you Exhibit A.
- [the Doctor grins at them. Cue opening]
- Henry van Statten: [Diana Goddard orders Van Statten's men to take him away] What the hell are you doing?
- Diana Goddard: Two hundred personnel dead and all because of you, sir. Take him away, wipe his memory and leave him by the road someplace.
- Henry van Statten: You can't do this to me! I am Henry Van Statten!
- Diana Goddard: And by tonight, Henry Van Statten will be a homeless brainless junkie living on the streets of San Diego, Seattle, Sacramento... Someplace beginning with S.
- Rose Tyler: Go on then, kill me.
- [pauses]
- Rose Tyler: Why are you doing this?
- Dalek: I am armed! I will kill! It is my purpose!
- Rose Tyler: They're all dead because of you!
- Dalek: They are dead because of *us*!
- Henry van Statten: Who exactly are you?
- The Doctor: I'm the Doctor and who are you?
- Henry van Statten: Like you don't know. We're hidden away with the most valuable collection of extraterrestrial artifacts in the world and you just stumbled in by mistake?
- The Doctor: Pretty much sums me up, yeah.
- Henry van Statten: Question is, how did you get in? Fifty-three floors down, with your little cat-burglar accomplice. Quite a collector yourself. She's rather pretty.
- Rose Tyler: She's gonna smack you if you keep calling her 'she'.
- The Doctor: [referring to alien object Henry van Statten is holding] I really wouldn't hold it like that.
- Diana Goddard: Shut it.
- The Doctor: Really though, that's wrong
- Adam Mitchell: Is it dangerous?
- The Doctor: No, it just looks silly
- Adam Mitchell: [Adam introduces Mr. Van Statten to Rose and The Doctor] This is Mr. Van Statten.
- Rose Tyler: And who is he when he's not at home?
- Adam Mitchell: Mr. Van Statten owns the Internet.
- Rose Tyler: Don't be so stupid. No-one owns the Internet!
- Henry Van Statten: [grinning] And let's just keep the whole world thinking that way, right kid?
- Henry van Statten: [to Adam and Rose] Why don't you two go and canoodle, or spoon, or whatever it is you English do.
- Dalek: I fed off the DNA of Rose Tyler. Extrapolating the biomass of a time traveller regenerated me.
- The Doctor: What's your next trick?
- Dalek: I have been searching for the Daleks.
- The Doctor: Yeah, I saw. Downloading the Internet. What did you find?
- Dalek: I scanned your satellites and radio telescopes.
- The Doctor: And?
- Dalek: Nothing. *Where shall I get my orders now*?
- Rose Tyler: [alarm goes off] If someone is collecting aliens, that makes you Exhibit A.
- [the Doctor grins sheepishly]
- Adam Mitchell: It doesn't do much - the alien. It's weird, it's kind of... useless, it's just like this... great big pepper pot.
- The Doctor: It's not just energy. That Dalek just absorbed the entire Internet. It knows everything.
- [the Doctor and Rose come across the head of a Cyberman in Van Statten's museum]
- The Doctor: Oh, look at you!
- Rose Tyler: What is it?
- The Doctor: An old friend of mine, well... enemy. The stuff of nightmares, reduced to an exhibit. I'm getting old.
- [a Dalek is loose in an underground base]
- Henry Van Statten: I thought you were the great expert, Doctor, if you're so impressive, why not just reason with this Dalek? It must be willing to negotiate, there must be something that it needs, everything needs something.
- The Doctor: What's the nearest town?
- Henry Van Statten: Salt Lake City.
- The Doctor: Population?
- Henry Van Statten: One million.
- The Doctor: All dead. If the Dalek gets out it'll murder every living creature that's all it needs.
- Henry Van Statten: But why would it do that?
- The Doctor: Because it honestly believes they should die. Human beings are different, and anything different is wrong. It's the ultimate in racial clensing, and you, Van Statten, you've let it loose!
- Dalek: Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! You are an enemy of the daleks! You must be destroyed!
- [it points the gun. Nothing happens]
- The Doctor: It's not working!
- [laughs]
- The Doctor: Fantastic. Fantastic! Look at you. Powerless. The great space dust bin! How does it feel?
- Henry Van Statten: The vault is sealed.
- The Doctor: Rose, where are you? Rose? Did you make it?
- Rose Tyler: [still inside] Sorry, I was a bit slow.
- [the Dalek pursuing her approaches]
- Rose Tyler: It's the end, Doctor. But it's not your fault... And you know what? I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
- Assistant: On behalf of all of us, I want to wish you a very happy birthday, sir. And the President called to covey his personal best wishes.
- Henry van Statten: The President is ten points down. I want him replaced.
- Assistant: I don't think that's very wise, Sir.
- Henry van Statten: Thank you so much for your opinion. You're fired. Get rid of him!
- [Van Statten's men grab the Assistant and take him away]
- Henry van Statten: Wipe his memory, put him on the road someplace. Memphis, Minneapolis... somewhere beginning with M.
- [Diana Goddard moves forward to take the Assistant's place]
- Henry van Statten: So, the next President. What do you think? Republican or Democrat?
- Diana Goddard: Democrat, Sir.
- Henry van Statten: For what reason?
- Diana Goddard: [pause; she answers uncertainly] They're just so funny, Sir?
- The Doctor: So that's your secret. You don't just collect this stuff, you scavenge it.
- Henry van Statten: This technology has been falling to Earth for centuries. All it took was the right mind to use it properly. Oh, the advances I've made from alien junk. You have no idea, Doctor. Broadband? Roswell. Just last year, my scientists cultivated bacteria from the Russian crater and do you know what we found? The cure for the common cold. Kept it strictly within the laboratory, of course. No need to get people excited. Why sell one cure when I can sell a thousand palliatives?
- The Doctor: Do you know what a Dalek is, Van Statten? A Dalek is honest. It does what it was born to do for the survival of its species. That creature in your dungeon is better than you.
- Henry van Statten: In that case I would be true to myself and continue.
- Diana Goddard: [about the Dalek] It's been on Earth for over fifty years. Sold at private auction, moving from one collection to another. Why would it be a threat now?
- The Doctor: Because I'm here.
- Adam Mitchell: The thing is it's all true. Everything the United Nations tries to keep quiet. Spacecraft. Aliens. Visitors to Earth. They really exist.
- Rose Tyler: [who knows all this anyway] That's amazing.
- Adam Mitchell: I know it sounds incredible, but I honestly believe the whole universe is just teeming with life.
- Dalek: Then I shall follow the Primary Order. The Dalek Instinct. To destroy. To conquer!
- The Doctor: What for? What's the point? Don't you see, it's all gone, everything you were, everything you stood for.
- Henry van Statten: This means the Dalek isn't the only alien on Earth Doctor, there's you. The only one of your kind in existence.
- Adam Mitchell: Van Statten has agents all over the world looking for geniuses to recruit.
- Rose Tyler: Oh right, you're a genius?
- Adam Mitchell: Sorry, but yeah. I can't help it. I was born clever. When I was eight I logged onto the US Defence System, nearly caused World War Three.
- Rose Tyler: What? And that's funny is it?
- Adam Mitchell: Well, you shoulda been there. Just to see them running about... Fantastic!
- Henry van Statten: [to Adam, about Rose] She's English. Hey, Little Lord Fauntleroy, I got you a girlfriend.
- The Doctor: It knows I'm here. It's going to get out. Van Statten! I swear, no one on this base is safe! No one on this planet!
