Quotes:

[first lines]
Daleks: We will get our power. We will get our power. We will get our power. We will get our power. We will get our power. We will get our power.
First Dalek: Turn back the power supply.
Lesterson: I will, I will. But I want you to remember that I control you.
First Dalek: We are your servants.
Lesterson: I know. Remember it. I gave you each a special charge to bring you back to life. Any further power you need must come from this generator. And I control it. Is that clear?
First Dalek: To await your orders, master.
Lesterson: Good. Have you completed the blueprints for the meteor storm computer?
First Dalek: It is ready.
Lesterson: Oh, it's marvellous! I'm glad we understand each other.
