DOCTOR: You humans are so fragile, your lives so brief. Tiny splash of brilliant colour against thetime stream, then gone forever. Whereas I, I just go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on...

DOCTOR: History isn't the past, Evelyn, it's a version of the past we choose to remember. It takes the

past and tidies it up. Inexplicable horrors explained. The most obscene atrocities reduced to cause

and effect.

EVELYN: You have no conscience, no pity. Why do you care if I live or die?

DALEK: Silence. Stop asking questions or I shall exterminate you.

EVELYN: You'll kill me because I ask why you won't kill me? What is the matter with you?

DALEK: Are you frightened of me, Evelyn Smythe?

EVELYN: More than I can tell you.

EVELYN: You've taken something which is wholly evil and merchandised it?

NIGEL: Privilege of the conqueror, I should have thought.

DOCTOR: Quite right. You've got to see it from their point of view, Evelyn. What good are Daleks now? Might as well have some use out of them. Get them to sell toothpaste, soap.

MIRIAM: Everyone needs toothpaste and soap.

DOCTOR: Mmm. I imagine you have Dalek films, don't you? Dalek sit-coms. Oh, I hope you have Dalek theme parks with loop-the-loop Dalek roller-coasters in them?

EVELYN: You are just an ordinary Dalek.

DALEK: That was my function. I do not know why Daleks do as we do. I only know to obey my orders.

EVELYN: And that is enough for you.

DALEK: When I had orders to obey. I have not received orders for a hundred years.

EVELYN: And what were your last orders?

DALEK: To conquer the Earth or die in the attempt. I was not expected to survive in the front line. My

death would have contributed to the greater glory of the Dalek race.

EVELYN: And yet, here you are. Neither conqueror nor dead.

MIRIAM: The Doctor and the Daleks, the Daleks and the Doctor. Have you never thought they were both really the same thing?

EVELYN: What are you talking about?

MIRIAM: One invades, destroys, exterminates. The ultimate bogey-man. Good night, sleep tight, make sure the Daleks don't bite. The other, our fearless Champion, the perfect hero who will protect us from harm.
