Quotes7

  • Dalek Caan: The conductor must be complete for our plan to succeed.
  • Mr. Diagoras: Unemployment is such an incentive. It'll get done, don't worry.
  • Dalek Caan: Daleks have no concept of worry.
  • Mr. Diagoras: Well. Lucky you.
  • Dalek Caan: This day is ending. Humankind is weak; you shelter from the darkness. And yet... you have built all this.
  • Mr. Diagoras: That's progress. Gotta move with the times, or you get left behind.
  • Dalek Caan: My planet is gone. Destroyed in a Great War. Yet versions of this city stand throughout history. The human race always continues.
  • Mr. Diagoras: We've had wars. I've been a soldier myself, and I swore then I'd survive. No matter what.
  • Dalek Caan: You have rare ambition.
  • Mr. Diagoras: I'm gonna run this city, whatever it takes. By any means necessary.
  • Dalek Caan: You think like a Dalek.
  • Mr. Diagoras: I'll take that as a compliment.
  • [the Doctor, Martha, Frank, and Solomon have volunteered to work for Mr. Diagoras, and they have entered the sewer]
  • Mr. Diagoras: Turn left. Go about a half a mile. Follow Tunnel #273. The fall is right in front of you. You can't miss it.
  • Frank: And when do we get our dollar?
  • Mr. Diagoras: When you come back up.
  • The Doctor: And if we don't come back up?
  • Mr. Diagoras: Then I've got no one to pay.
  • Solomon: Don't worry, we'll be back.
  • Martha Jones: Let's hope so.
  • Dalek Caan: I bring you the human.
  • Mr. Diagoras: [to Sec] I take it... you're in charge?
  • Dalek Sec: Correct. I am Dalek Sec, leader of the Cult of Skaro.
  • Mr. Diagoras: Then... my lord Sec... I am honoured to meet you. Ever since you came, you've been transmitting your thoughts into the corners of my mind. Tempting me with such visions, such... big ideas. Oh, sir, I never thought that...
  • Dalek Sec: Cease talking.
  • Mr. Diagoras: But I just want you to know how grateful I...
  • Dalek Sec: I said cease!
  • Dalek Hybrid: [final line] I am a human Dalek. I am your future!
  • [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]
  • Dalek Caan: [after the Foreman is taken away by the Pig-Slaves] The Empire State Building must be completed in time.
  • Mr. Diagoras: It will be. Trust me. Labor is cheap and that man can be replaced.
  • Dalek Caan: The plan must not fail! We calculate the gamma strike has accelerated! We need more bodies *immmediately*!
  • Mr. Diagoras: Yes, master.
