Quotes
-
Colonel Mace : [wearing gas mask, holding assault rifle] latest firing stock; what do you think, Doctor?
The Doctor : [also wearing gas mask] Are you my mummy?
-
[speaking though a video-audio comms link]
General Staal : Doctor. Breathing your last?
Colonel Mace : My God, they're like Trolls.
The Doctor : [in undertone] Yeah, love your bit of diplomacy, thanks.
[back to Staal]
The Doctor : So, tell me, General Staal. Since when did you lot become cowards?
General Staal : [outraged] How... dare you!
Colonel Mace : [annoyed] Oh, *that's* diplomacy?
-
The Doctor : Poison gas? That's the weapon of a coward, and you know it. Staal, you could blast this planet out of the sky, and yet you're sitting up above watching it die. Where's the fight in that, where's the honor? Or... are you lot planning something else? 'Cause this isn't normal Sontaran warfare, what are you lot up to?
General Staal : A general would be unwise to reveal his strategy to the opposing party.
The Doctor : [amused] Ah, the war's not going so well, then. Losing, are we?
General Staal : [insulted] Such a suggestion is impossible!
Colonel Mace : What war?
The Doctor : The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans, raging far out in the stars for 50 000 years. 50 000 years of bloodshed, and for *what?*
General Staal : For victory!
[the Sontarans start chanting "Sontar-Ha" again]
The Doctor : [annoyed] Give me a break!
[uses his sonic screwdriver to change to a TV channel]
Colonel Mace : Doctor, I would seriously recommend that this dialogue is handled by official Earth representations.
[the Doctor switches back to the Sontarans who have stopped chanting]
The Doctor : Finished?
-
Colonel Mace : You will face me sir!
[Skorr turns around will a yell; Mace shoots him & he collapses; laying on the floor with a satisfied smile]
Commander Skorr : Wonderful.
-
Mace : Sontarans might think of us as primitives, as does every passing species with an axe to grind.
