The Savages: Episode 4 (1966)

Frederick Jaeger: Jano

Quotes 

• Dr. Who : [talking about needing a leader]  Jano, since you have destroyed the power you held over Chal and his people, you realize now, of course, that you've got to learn to live together.

  Jano : Yes. But the fear and hatred of the past will only die slowly. We need someone like yourself as a mediator until we have become one people.

  Dr. Who : I see. But in my case, I am afraid that is utterly impossible.

  Jano : The man we need must inspire trust. His judgments must come from his heart even more than his head.

  Chal : [the Doctor smiles knowingly, as Chal and Jano turn to Steven]  Here is the leader we want, Jano.

  Jano : This is what I thought.

  Steven : [struggling for words and looking surprised at the choice of him for leader]  Just a minute. I couldn't...

  Dr. Who : A great honour, dear boy.

  Steven : But I can't walk out on you and Dodo!

  Dr. Who : Just think of the challenge to be able to set up the people on this planet for a new life. You're quite ready for this task.

  Steven : You think I can do it?

  Dr. Who : Yes, I do. And you're the only man who can, my boy.

  Steven : [to Chal]  And the offer come from both sides?

  Chal : You would give us new hope. Our people will become great again - we will learn to live as equals - without bitterness.

  Steven : What about Tor?

  Tor : I should accept your decisions.

  Steven : [there is a moment's silence as Steven considers the momentous decision]  Very well. I will stay.

  Chal : Thank you... and thank you! You have justified our faith.

  Dodo : [running over to Steven to be comforted]  Oh Steven!

  Steven : [giving Dodo a hug]  I shall miss you both, Dodo.
