The Caves of Androzani: Part 1 (1984)


advertisement
Sharaz Jek: We shall become the best of companions!
The Doctor: What do you say, Peri? We can go on nature walks, have picnics and jolly evenings 'round the campfire!

Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown: Doctor, why do you wear a stick of celery in your lapel?
The Doctor: Does it offend you?
Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown: No, just curious.
The Doctor: Safety precaution. I'm allergic to certain gases in the praxis range of the spectrum.
Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown: Well how does the celery help?
The Doctor: If the gas is present, the celery turns purple.
Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown: And then what do you do?
The Doctor: I eat the celery. If nothing else I'm sure it's good for my teeth.

The Fifth Doctor: [the Doctor and Peri are waiting in a prison cell to be executed] I'm sorry I got you in to this Peri.
Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown: It's alright. It's not your fault. I mean it's as much my fault as it is yours.
The Fifth Doctor: Yes. Should never have followed those tracks. Curiosity's always been my downfall.

Sharaz Jek: How is it you were able to walk past my androids?
The Fifth Doctor: I don't know. Maybe they just liked my face.
[grins]

Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown: [to the Doctor] Why does he always wear that hood?
Sharaz Jek: [suddenly turning his attention to Peri] Do you want to know why? You with your fair skin and features. You want to see the face under here?
[shouts]
Sharaz Jek: DO YOU?
[Peri lets out a shriek and rushes in to the arms of the Doctor]
Sharaz Jek: You're wise. Even I can't bear to see or touch myself. I was once... once comely. Was always a lover of beauty. And now I have to live in this exile. Where I have to live amongst androids, because androids do not see as we see!
The Doctor: What happened?
Sharaz Jek: Morgus. Why I ever trusted that fescennine bag of *slime*! I built an android work force. To collect and refine the Spectrox. We agreed to share the profits. But he'd already planned my death. When the mud burst caught me without warning, how he must have gloated. But I tricked him. I reached one of the baking chambers and I survived. Just.
Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown: You were burned?
Sharaz Jek: Scalded, near to death. The flesh boiled, hanging from the bone. I lived... I lived so that one day I could revenge myself on that human monster, and I shall.
[Sharaz Jek slowly turns and walks away from the Doctor and Peri. The Doctor looks a bit unmoved as he utters his next line]
The Doctor: [referring to Sharaz Jek] More of a tennis player than a cricketer.
