• Time Lord : Ah. Welcome Doctor.

  The Doctor : What's going on? Don't you realise how dangerous it is to intercept a transmat beam?

  Time Lord : Oh, come Doctor, not with our techniques. We Time Lords transcended such simple mechanical devices when the universe was less than half its present size.

  The Doctor : Look, whatever I've done for you in the past, I've more than made up for. I will not tolerate this continual interference in my life.

  Time Lord : Continual? We pride ourselves we seldom interfere in the affairs of others.

  The Doctor : Except mine.

  Time Lord : You, Doctor, are a special case. You enjoy the freedom we allow you. In return, occasionally, not continually, we ask you to do something for us.

  The Doctor : I won't do it. Whatever it is, I refuse.

  Time Lord : Daleks.

  The Doctor : Daleks? Tell me more.

  Time Lord : We foresee a time when they will have destroyed all other lifeforms and become the dominant creature in the universe.

  The Doctor : That's possible. Tell on.

  Time Lord : We'd like you to return to Skaro at a point in time before the Daleks evolved.

  The Doctor : Do you mean avert their creation?

  Time Lord : Or affect their genetic development so that they evolve into less aggressive creatures.

  The Doctor : Hmm. That's feasible.

  Time Lord : Alternatively, if you learn enough about their very beginnings, you might discover some inherent weakness.

  The Doctor : All right, just one more time.

  Time Lord : You'll do it?

  The Doctor : Yes. If you'll let me have the space time coordinates, I'll set the Tardis for Skaro.

  Time Lord : There's no need for that, Doctor.

  The Doctor : Hmm?

  Time Lord : You're here. This is Skaro.
