Patrick Troughton credited as playing...
Dr. Who
- Dr. Who: There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things, things which act against everything that we believe in. They must be fought.
- [last lines]
- Hobson: What are you doing?
- Dr. Who: Just be patient. Just as I thought. A large, neurotropic virus.
- Hobson: What, like the space plague?
- Dr. Who: No. It's a large, infective agent that only attacks the nerves. That's why the patients have got these lines on their faces and their hands. It follows the course of the nerves under the skin.
- Hobson: That's all very well, but how did it get in here?
- Dr. Who: Oh, it is the Cybermen. I believe they have deliberately infected the base.
- Hobson: My men have searched every square inch of the base. There's no space to hide a cat, let alone a Cyberman! Anyhow, how did they get in?
- Dr. Who: [realizing something] One moment.
- Hobson: What is it?
- Dr. Who: You say you searched all the base?
- Hobson: Yes. What of it?
- Dr. Who: Every nook and cranny?
- Hobson: Yes.
- Dr. Who: No chance of anyone hiding anywhere?
- Hobson: None whatever.
- Dr. Who: Did your men search in here?
- Hobson: Well...
- Dr. Who: Did they?
- Hobson: Well,
- [sighs]
- Hobson: there are always people in here so they thought that...
- Dr. Who: [whispering urgently] Did they search in here?
- Hobson: No!
- Polly: But there's nowhere in here they could hide.
- [the Doctor inspects all the beds in turn until he comes to one particular bed, where he sees the boots of a Cyberman sticking out]
- Polly: Oh no! No! No! Oh no!
