• The Doctor : [of the markings Bellal has made on the wall]  You say that markings like these are cut into the walls of the city?

  Bellal : Yes, these are as I remember them.

  Sarah Jane Smith : I saw them too, Doctor. Do they mean anything to you?

  The Doctor : No, not fully. But I do have a rough idea of what they're intended to convey. You see, I've seen them before.

  Sarah Jane Smith : Seen them before? Where?

  The Doctor : On the walls of a temple in Peru.

  Sarah Jane Smith : Oh, that's impossible!

  The Doctor : Yeah, that's what they said about the Peruvian temple as well. Yes, it's one of Earth's great mysteries, that no primitive man could posibly have built such a structure. Well, now we've solved it.

  Sarah Jane Smith : Solved how a temple was built in Peru?

  The Doctor : [to Bellal]  You say that your ancestors were travelling in space when other worlds were still primitive?

  Bellal : Why, that is true.

  The Doctor : Then they almost certainly visited Earth and taught the people there how to build.

  Bellal : Our city supports itself in two ways: through roots in the ground and from the air.

  Sarah Jane Smith : The air?

  The Doctor : Yes, they must drain their electrical energy from the atmosphere, probably via that beacon.

  Sarah Jane Smith : So that's what put the mockers on the TARDIS?

  The Doctor : Well, you seem to have a crude grasp of the general idea, yes.
