Quotes 

• Dalek Caan : The conductor must be complete for our plan to succeed.

  Mr. Diagoras : Unemployment is such an incentive. It'll get done, don't worry.

  Dalek Caan : Daleks have no concept of worry.

  Mr. Diagoras : Well. Lucky you.

• Dalek Caan : This day is ending. Humankind is weak; you shelter from the darkness. And yet... you have built all this.

  Mr. Diagoras : That's progress. Gotta move with the times, or you get left behind.

  Dalek Caan : My planet is gone. Destroyed in a Great War. Yet versions of this city stand throughout history. The human race always continues.

  Mr. Diagoras : We've had wars. I've been a soldier myself, and I swore then I'd survive. No matter what.

  Dalek Caan : You have rare ambition.

  Mr. Diagoras : I'm gonna run this city, whatever it takes. By any means necessary.

  Dalek Caan : You think like a Dalek.

  Mr. Diagoras : I'll take that as a compliment.

• [the Doctor, Martha, Frank, and Solomon have volunteered to work for Mr. Diagoras, and they have entered the sewer] 

  Mr. Diagoras : Turn left. Go about a half a mile. Follow Tunnel #273. The fall is right in front of you. You can't miss it.

  Frank : And when do we get our dollar?

  Mr. Diagoras : When you come back up.

  The Doctor : And if we don't come back up?

  Mr. Diagoras : Then I've got no one to pay.

  Solomon : Don't worry, we'll be back.

  Martha Jones : Let's hope so.

• Dalek Caan : I bring you the human.

  Mr. Diagoras : [to Sec]  I take it... you're in charge?

  Dalek Sec : Correct. I am Dalek Sec, leader of the Cult of Skaro.

  Mr. Diagoras : Then... my lord Sec... I am honoured to meet you. Ever since you came, you've been transmitting your thoughts into the corners of my mind. Tempting me with such visions, such... big ideas. Oh, sir, I never thought that...

  Dalek Sec : Cease talking.

  Mr. Diagoras : But I just want you to know how grateful I...

  Dalek Sec : I said cease!

• Dalek Hybrid : [final line]  I am a human Dalek. I am your future!

• [Construction workers hoist materials at the top of the Empire State Building] 

  Foreman : I'm telling you, the men won't stand for it! I mean are you out of your mind? I've got 500 men working seven days a week, they're flat out, and you want us to go *faster*?

  Mr. Diagoras : The new masters demand it.

  Foreman : But we're on schedule! What's the problem? Another month and we'll be done!

  Mr. Diagoras : [standing up]  The mast on this building needs extra work completed by *tonight*.

  Foreman : Tonight? No way, that's impossible!

  Mr. Diagoras : That's an *order*.

  Foreman : Yeah? Well one word from me, and every man on *this site* stops working! So go on, tell your masters that!

  Mr. Diagoras : Well if that's your attitude, I think you should tell him yourself.

  [walks over towards the elevator] 

  Foreman : Yeah? Well I ain't afraid of no man in a suit!

  [Diagoras presses the elevator's call button] 

  Foreman : So these, uh, these new bosses. What's their names?

  Mr. Diagoras : I think you could say they're from "out of town."

  Foreman : Italians?

  Mr. Diagoras : Bit further than that.

  Foreman : How much further?

  Mr. Diagoras : Beyond your imagination.

  Foreman : Aw what's that supposed to mean? Who are they?

  [Mr. Diagoras looks back up at the elevator floor indicator] 

  Foreman : Mr. Diagoras, who are we working for?

  Mr. Diagoras : [walking away from the elevator door, he stands next to the Foreman]  Behold your masters.

  [the elevator arrives with a pleasant ding, and the doors open to reveal Dalek Cann, flanked by two Pig-Slaves. Dalek Cann glides out of the elevator towards the Foreman] 

  Foreman : What the hell?

  Dalek Caan : I have been summoned. Explain! Explain!

  Foreman : [backing away]  They can talk! How does it talk? And what the hell are they? You've got to be kidding me!

  Mr. Diagoras : I'm sorry, my lord, but this man is refusing to complete the work.

  Dalek Caan : Then we must replace him.

  Foreman : Is anybody going to tell me what the hell is happening here?

  Dalek Caan : [to the Pig-Slaves]  Use him! Take him for the Final Experiment!

  [They walk forward and seize the Foreman] 

  Foreman : [as he is seized by the Pig-Slaves]  Hey, what's going on? Let go! Let go of me!

  [He continues to struggle as he is dragged by the Pig-Slaves to the elevator] 

  Foreman : Get off me, ya freaks! Mr. Diagoras, will you tell them? Listen!

  [the doors close and he is never seen again] 

• Dalek Caan : [after the Foreman is taken away by the Pig-Slaves]  The Empire State Building must be completed in time.

  Mr. Diagoras : It will be. Trust me. Labor is cheap and that man can be replaced.

  Dalek Caan : The plan must not fail! We calculate the gamma strike has accelerated! We need more bodies *immmediately*!

  Mr. Diagoras : Yes, master.
