They’re Coming to Get You, Barbara

BARBARA: 

Did you see that, Jenny? That's the way they control the Robomen. 

DALEK 3: 

Herd all humans to galleries to nine, ten and fifteen. 

JENNY: 

Perhaps we could put it out of action? 

BARBARA: 

We could do better than that, we could give it new orders. 

Tell them to turn on the Daleks. 

JENNY: Yes! That's a great idea. 

DALEK: They are the prisoners that reported the imminent revolt.

BLACK: 

Indian mutiny? 

We are the Masters of India!

BLACK: 

Take them! They are lying! 

Take them! Take them! Take them! 

DALEK 3: 

I will arrange for their extermination. 

BLACK: 

No. Secure them. They will be killed in the explosion. The countdown must proceed to schedule. 

(Barbara and Jenny are fastened by collars to a pillar.) 

BARBARA:

JENNY: 

What for? It was a marvellous attempt and it nearly worked too. 

BARBARA: 

Yes, it didn't and we won't get a second try. Look. That must be the bomb shaft.
