  Cyberman #1 : See that they remain there.

  Cyberman #2 : Yes.

  Cyberman #1 : Operational System Two now complete. Operational System Two now complete.

• Cyberman #1 : No one will move.

  [Benoit moves a little bit] 

  Cyberman #1 : You will remain still. If you move you will be killed.

  Benoit : [amazed]  What are they? How did they get in?

  Cyberman #1 : Silence! We are Cybermen! You will listen.

  Benoit : [still amazed]  But you were all killed!

  Cyberman #1 : We are going to take over the Gravitron and use it to destroy the surface of the Earth by changing the weather.

  Hobson : [shocked]  But that will kill everybody on the Earth.

  Cyberman #1 : Yes.

  Hobson : You're supposed to be so advanced. Here you are, taking your revenge like children.

  Cyberman #1 : Revenge? What is that?

  Hobson : A feeling people have...

  Cyberman #1 : Feelings? Yes, we know of this weakness of yours. We are fortunate. We do not posses feelings.

  Benoit : Then why are you here?

  Cyberman #1 : To eliminate all dangers.

  Hobson : [in half anger and half shock]  But you'll kill every single thing on the Earth!

  Cyberman #1 : Yes. All dangers will be eliminated.

  Benoit : Have you no mercy?

  Cyberman #1 : It is unnecessary.

  [turns to Cyberman #2] 

  Cyberman #1 : Keep watch on them.

  Hobson : Don't rush them!

  Cyberman #1 : [into the communicator]  Operational System Four. Operation System Four. Operational System Four complete. Entry to base now completed.

  Hobson : Entry? How did you get in?

  Cyberman #1 : It was very simple. Only stupid Earth brains like yours would have been fooled.

  Hobson : Go on.

  Cyberman #1 : Since we couldn't approach direct, we came up under the surface and cut our way in through your store room, contaminating your food supplies on the way. A simple hole that's all.

  Hobson : A hole! That explains those sudden air pressure drops we have been recording.

  Cyberman #1 : [sarcastically]  Clever! Clever! Clever!

• [last lines] 

  Polly : [rubbing herself]  Oh, it's freezing. Do you think we should have our suits on?

  Ben : Oh no, it's all right love. Get a gorgeous suntan.

  Hobson : Can't see anything.

  Nils : Just to the left of the launching area. Around a bit to your left.

  Hobson : [peering]  Still can't see anything.

  Benoit : [pointing]  No, it's there, look! Reflections from the sun!

  [There is a flash of silver] 

  Hobson : You're right. There is something. It's them! They're coming! Everybody inside! Quick!

  [they all rush back inside the protected dome as a group of Cybermen make their way to the Moonbase]
