Lure







Green Butt Skunk - Twin Peaks



[Outside Davros' laboratory]

ORCINI: 
Davros.

(Bostock gets out his flick knife. 
Orcini throws down his walking stick, which 
sticks into a stone step. Davros whirls round.)

[Davros' laboratory]

DAVROS: 
What's that? Ah. 
Remove that object. 


(A [Human] Guard picks up the stick 
and walks up the steps with it.)

[Outside Davros' laboratory]

ORCINI
Thank you. 


(Bostock stabs The Guard.)

[Davros' laboratory]
(The Guard falls back down the steps 
with a dying scream. Orcini steps forward 
and sprays Davros with automatic fire. 
Davros sends an electric 
bolt out from his 'eye', 
which hits a bishops statue 
at the top of the steps.) 


DAVROS
You are fools
You cannot kill me! 
I am Davros!

(At a signal from his master, 
Bostock goes in first, shooting. 
The two men split up, forcing Davros 
to spin round and round to get at them. 
Their bullets hit his control chamber. 
It spins out of control then goes BANG! 
There is a scream and Davros' head 
collapses like a punctured balloon.) 


BOSTOCK
You've done it, Master. 
You've killed him. 


ORCINI
Has your instinct deserted you? 
The kill was too easy.

DAVROS
That you have realised too 
late, Grand-Master Orcini. 


(Davros, in his black leather suit and 
Dalek travel unit, is behind them.)

DAVROS
Place your guns 
on the floor. 


ORCINI: 
Of course --

(Bostock throws his knife and Orcini lets off a clip 
of bullets. The knife finds Davros' shoulder.) 


DAVROS
Guards! 


(A Dalek shoots off Orcini's prosthetic leg 
while Bostock sprays bullets around.) 


ORCINI
Bostock! 


PRAETORIAN DALEK
I Cannot see! My vision is 
impaired! I cannot see!

(Bostock tried to 
shield His Master 
from the other Daleks.) 


PRAETORIAN DALEKS
Exterminate! Exterminate! 
Exterminate! Destroy! 


(Bostock falls. Davros zaps Orcini 
with electricity himself.) 


DAVROS
You are old, Orcini! 
Your reflexes have gone! 
Do you think you're the 
first to try and kill me? 

That tank was but a simple lure
a focal point for the 
assassin's bullet. 


(Orcini stops moving.)

The Bad Shepherd













Ygor
No. He Cannot be Destroyed. 
Cannot Die. 
Your Father made him 
Live for always. 
Now he is sick
Make him well, Frankenstein!

Baron Wolf von Frankenstein
I don't know whether I...

Ygor
Your Father made him! 
And Heinrich Frankenstein 
was Your Father too.

Baron Wolf von Frankenstein
Do You mean to imply
then, that, uh... 
That is My Brother?

 Ygor
But His Mother 
was Lightning.

Baron Wolf von Frankenstein
Oh, Electricity. We'll see.




Rabbi :
If you had come out of Egypt, 

you would have been 

Destroyed in The Desert 

with all those who worshipped 

The Golden Calf!


Danny, Champion of 

The World (Aged 11) :

Then Let Him 

Destroy Me Now

Go ahead. Kill Me. 

Here I am. Do it. 


Rabbi :

Danny. Glad you came back

I wanted to take up 

that discussion 

We were having. 


Danny, Champion 

of The World :

I can't right now. 


About Abraham and Isaac

You remember what you said…? 

That Isaac actually died 

on Mount Moriah. 

I've been Thinking maybe 

You were right about that. 


You remember what you said

That Isaac actually died 

on Mount Moriah. 

I've been Thinking, maybe 

You were right about that. 


Died... and then reborn 

in The World to Come. 

You remember what you said…? 

That Isaac actually died 

on Mount Moriah. 


I've been Thinking, maybe 

You were right about that. 

Died... and then reborn 

in The World to Come. 


Danny, •STOP•. —


Where Do You Think 

You're going


Don't You Know?

There's nothing 

Up There. 


"...Your Only Son 

whom you love

Isaac, and go unto 

The Land of Moriah 

and offer him there as 

A Sacrifice on A Mountain 

that I will show You.


So... "I will show You.


It was A Test 

of Abraham's Faith

of his Devotion to God. 


Danny, Champion 

of The World :

It's not about 

Abraham's Faith. 

It's about God's Power


Abstraction

They're obsessed 

with Abstraction

"Kill Your Only Son, 

Because I'm Everything 

and You're Nothing." 


"You're nothing."

 Jews. Judaism. 


They're still just Jews. 

Differences exist, 

of course. All right? 


But they're irrelevant

'cause For A Jew

His Jewishness 

Dominates everything


And even the ones 

who renounce it, and 

Who Hate its Strength 

and want to cut it out 

of Their Hearts...

War Stories






Doc. Hollywood :
Good. Let's see what we've got. 
You're a lucky man, Mr. Whale. 
Whatever damage was done by your stroke, 
it left your motor abilities relatively unimpaired. 

James Whale :
Yes, Dr. Payne, but what about 
from the neck upwards? 
What's the story there? 

Doc. Hollywood :
That's what I'm trying to explain. 
The central nervous system 
selects items from a constant 
storm of sensations —
Whatever was killed in your stroke seems 
to have short-circuited this mechanism. 

James Whale :
So you're saying there's 
An Electrical Storm going on 
inside My Head. 

Doc. Hollywood :
Well, that's as good a way 
as any to describe it.
I've seen far worse cases. 

James Whale :
What about all The Rest? 
The killing headaches. 
The phantom smells. 
My inability to close my eyes,
without thinking of a hundred 
things simultaneously

Doc. Hollywood :
I've never encountered the 
olfactory hallucinations before, 
but I'm sure they're related. 

James Whale :
So, what do I do? 

Doc. Hollywood :
Take the Luminol to sleep... 
and whenever you feel 
an attack coming on. 

James Whale :
What you're saying is that this isn't 
just a case of resting until I'm better, 
but that my condition will continue 
to deteriorate until 
the end of my life?
