Quotes 

• The Doctor : The power cable generated an electrical field and confused their tiny metal minds. You might almost say they've had a complete "metal" breakdown.

  Jamie : [groans]  Oooh!

  The Doctor : I'm so sorry, Jamie.

• The Doctor : Jamie, Victoria, Callum, wake up! Wake up!

  Victoria : What is it?

  The Doctor : [a Cybermat is crawling up Jim Callum's chest]  Callum, Callum.

  Victoria : What are those terrible things?

  The Doctor : Don't move, Callum. Don't move.

  [the Doctor knocks it onto the floor] 

  The Doctor : Now, get back to the controls, all of you. Steady. Don't make any sudden movements. Parry, Parry, wake up, Parry. Wake up. Wake up. Don't panic. Come back with us. Steady. Now, we'll all go in the other room and lock them out.

  Victoria : [screaming]  Aagh!

  Jim Callum : Let's get out of here. The main doors.

  [runs over to the main doors where another Cybermat is coming] 

  Jim Callum : No, look!

  Victoria : Oh! Oh, Doctor, we're trapped!

  The Doctor : Back against the controls, everybody! Here.

  [picks up a power cable] 

  The Doctor : Give me a hand, quick!

  Professor Parry : The what?

  The Doctor : Lay this down on the ground. Come on!

  Jamie : We can't move it, Doctor!

  The Doctor : Come on!

  Jim Callum : Well, let's blast the filthy things!

  [begins shooting at them] 

  The Doctor : You're wasting your time. There are too many of them! Now, do what I say. Come back!

  [the Doctor switches the power on and the Cybermats begin to die] 

  The Doctor : There you are, you see?

  Professor Parry : What are those creatures?

  The Doctor : Well, they're... They're a form of metallic life. They home on human brainwaves and attack.

  Victoria : Urgh! Are they safe now?

  The Doctor : Oh, yes, quite safe now.

• [last lines] 

  Victoria : What about Klieg and Kaftan? They'll probably attack them as well.

  Professor Parry : The testing room.

  The Doctor : Now, come on. Mind your feet.

  Eric Klieg : Most ingenious, Doctor. Now, let's see what you can do against this.

  [holds up a Cyberman X-ray gun] 

  Jamie : Watch out, Doctor!

  [Klieg fires]
