Ian Porter: Foreman

Quotes 

• [Construction workers hoist materials at the top of the Empire State Building] 

  Foreman : I'm telling you, the men won't stand for it! I mean are you out of your mind? I've got 500 men working seven days a week, they're flat out, and you want us to go *faster*?

  Mr. Diagoras : The new masters demand it.

  Foreman : But we're on schedule! What's the problem? Another month and we'll be done!

  Mr. Diagoras : [standing up]  The mast on this building needs extra work completed by *tonight*.

  Foreman : Tonight? No way, that's impossible!

  Mr. Diagoras : That's an *order*.

  Foreman : Yeah? Well one word from me, and every man on *this site* stops working! So go on, tell your masters that!

  Mr. Diagoras : Well if that's your attitude, I think you should tell him yourself.

  [walks over towards the elevator] 

  Foreman : Yeah? Well I ain't afraid of no man in a suit!

  [Diagoras presses the elevator's call button] 

  Foreman : So these, uh, these new bosses. What's their names?

  Mr. Diagoras : I think you could say they're from "out of town."

  Foreman : Italians?

  Mr. Diagoras : Bit further than that.

  Foreman : How much further?

  Mr. Diagoras : Beyond your imagination.

  Foreman : Aw what's that supposed to mean? Who are they?

  [Mr. Diagoras looks back up at the elevator floor indicator] 

  Foreman : Mr. Diagoras, who are we working for?

  Mr. Diagoras : [walking away from the elevator door, he stands next to the Foreman]  Behold your masters.

  [the elevator arrives with a pleasant ding, and the doors open to reveal Dalek Cann, flanked by two Pig-Slaves. Dalek Cann glides out of the elevator towards the Foreman] 

  Foreman : What the hell?

  Dalek Caan : I have been summoned. Explain! Explain!

  Foreman : [backing away]  They can talk! How does it talk? And what the hell are they? You've got to be kidding me!

  Mr. Diagoras : I'm sorry, my lord, but this man is refusing to complete the work.

  Dalek Caan : Then we must replace him.

  Foreman : Is anybody going to tell me what the hell is happening here?

  Dalek Caan : [to the Pig-Slaves]  Use him! Take him for the Final Experiment!

  [They walk forward and seize the Foreman] 

  Foreman : [as he is seized by the Pig-Slaves]  Hey, what's going on? Let go! Let go of me!

  [He continues to struggle as he is dragged by the Pig-Slaves to the elevator] 

  Foreman : Get off me, ya freaks! Mr. Diagoras, will you tell them? Listen!

  [the doors close and he is never seen again]
