Silly and Human

STEVEN: 

Look, you still believe 

in these creations 

of The Toymaker, don't you? 

You can't see that 

They're just phantoms, 

things created in His Mind.

DODO: 

If that's so, why 

Do They lose to Us? 

And always through doing 

something silly and human?

STEVEN: 

Oh, I don't know. Maybe they 

get out of his control.

DODO: 

There, that's just 

what I meant.

STEVEN: 

What are You Talking about?

DODO: 

Look, He can bring Them to Life, 

but They have wills and 

minds of Their own. 

I'll never be able to look at 

A Doll or A Playing-Card 

again with an easy mind. 

They really do have 

a secret life 

of their own.

STEVEN: 

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! We've got to 

get you out of here and quick!

DODO: 

Why? What do you mean?

STEVEN: 

This Place 

is beginning to 

get to you....

DODO: 

Oh, rubbish! Just because 

you can't see it.

 

WIGGS: 

Ah, that's The Game, Duck -- 

You Dance with her, while 

I run for The Cupboard up there.

Sgt. RUGG: 

Oh, beggin' your pardon, Mrs W, 

This is Man's Work. 

You dance, and I'll run. 

Well, to be quite frank 

with you, Mrs W, 

Soldiers don't dance. 

Well, Officers, perhaps. 

But Sergeants, no. 

Here, why don't you try The Floor?

(She does. The dolls change partners.)

STEVEN: 

Dodo, keep close to me.

DODO: 

Why?

STEVEN: 

Don't ask questions.

WIGGS: 

Oh, hurry up, Sergeant, 

I can't keep it up for long.

RUGG: 

Just on my way, Mrs W.

(But Rugg finds that his feet are not his own.)

STEVEN: 

Dodo, come here.

(Steven grabs Dodo and they dance together.)

WIGGS: 

I'm surprised at you, Sergeant Rugg. 

Put that hussy down and get to the cupboard!

RUGG: I can't!

STEVEN: He's going, Dodo. We must get nearer The TARDIS.

DODO: He's bound to try and stop us somehow.

STEVEN: Well, we'll be ready for them. We're almost there. Concentrate now. Here we are!

(Dancing in each other's arms, Steven and Dodo reach the police box first. The door flies open and they dive inside, the door shutting behind them. The Sergeant and Mrs Wiggs dance on.)

[Cupboard]

STEVEN: Huh, it's another fake. I wonder how many of these things he made?

DODO: Far too many. I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever see the real one again. We might be shut in here forever. 

STEVEN: No, of course we'll find it. Come on, don't lose heart now. We've been through too much. How on earth do we get out of this thing?

DODO: I wonder if we'll ever see the sergeant and the cook again? They were rather funny, you know.

STEVEN: Look, you still believe in these creations of the Toymaker, don't you? You can't see that they're just phantoms, things created in his mind.

DODO: If that's so, why do they lose to us? And always through doing something silly and human?

STEVEN: Oh, I don't know. Maybe they get out of his control.

DODO: There, that's just what I meant.

STEVEN: What are you talking about?

DODO: Look, he can bring them to life, but they have wills and minds of their own. I'll never be able to look at a doll or a playing card again with an easy mind. They really do have a secret life of their own.

STEVEN: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! We've got to get you out of here and quick!

DODO: Why? What do you mean?

STEVEN: This place is beginning to get you.

DODO: Oh, rubbish! Just because you can't see it.

STEVEN: We've got to find the next clue. Now there isn't even a telephone here. It must be in here somewhere.

DODO: Still, can't help wondering what happened to them.

(Still dancing, Sergeant Rugg and Mrs Wiggs have become as jerky and expressionless as the ballerinas around them.)

[Toymaker's office]

(The invisible Doctor is 

apparently chuckling.)

TOYMAKER: 

You forget that I can see you, even if no one else can. 

But you laugh too soon. The Game is not yet over, 

either for you or for your two clever friends. 

They still have a game or two to play yet. 

But they must not win the next game.

(The Toymaker throws his dolls 

into the chest, one by one.)

TOYMAKER: 

Clowns! Nursery characters! Playing cards! 

I was foolish to Trust You 

to Play My Games for me. 

You're all Too Human, too kind. 

I must find a more deadly character.

(He takes out the Cyril doll.)

TOYMAKER: 

Ah! The Most Deadly Character of them all because 

he looks so innocent -- A fat, jolly schoolboy. 

I wonder what your friends will make of him, Doctor? 

And I see you only have 123 moves to go.

[Cupboard]

DODO: 

Hey, what do you think that is?

(A note is attached to the cupboard wall.)

STEVEN: 

This could be the next riddle, 

or the next warning.

(The wall falls away to reveal 

another passageway.) 

STEVEN: 

Not again.

DODO: 

Well, there's the way out.

STEVEN: 

Let's read this first. 

Lady Luck will Show The Way, 

Win The Game or Here You'll Stay.

DODO: Well, that's shorter than the others were.

STEVEN: 

Doesn't mean it's going to be any easier. Come on.

[Passageway]

DODO: I can't see.

STEVEN: Don't do anything till we know exactly what's happening.

(Dodo screams. Up ahead, now dressed in school cap and uniform, Cyril is leering horribly at them.)

CYRIL: Hello, remember me? I'm Cyril, known to my friends as Billy. Had you that time! Scare ya?

DODO: Yes, it did.

STEVEN: We've seen you before, haven't we?

CYRIL: Yeah, that's right. You're Dodo, aren't you? And you're Steven?

(Steven shakes his hand.)

STEVEN: I got a shock!

CYRIL: You should see your face!

STEVEN: You'll feel my hand in a minute. What have you got there?

CYRIL: Hey, careful! I'll show you. Look.

(There's an electrode attached to his wrist.)

STEVEN: Take the thing off.

CYRIL: Oh, all right. There.

STEVEN: Any more of these schoolboy jokes on you?

CYRIL: I don't know why you're carrying on like this. I'm just trying to be friendly.

STEVEN: Well, it's charming way to make friends.

DODO: I'm sure he didn't mean any harm.

CYRIL: Of course not. Here, have some sweets.

DODO: Oh, no thanks.

CYRIL: Oh, go on, do.

STEVEN: Dodo, go on, take them. We'll be here all day.

CYRIL: If I eat any more, I shall be sick, I expect.

(Dodo puts some sweets in her pocket.)

CYRIL: You know, you're one of my heroes. When I grow up, I want to be just like you.

STEVEN: When you grow up?

CYRIL: Yes.

STEVEN: You look pretty grown up to me already.

DODO: Steven, look. The Doctor's reached move 902.

STEVEN: We'll have to hurry. Come one, where's the next game we have to play?

CYRIL: Yaroo! It's right over here. You won't find it so easy this time, you know, because you see, you'll be playing against me!
