The Daleks
Companions : Jack Harkness · Martha Jones · Donna Noble · Clara Oswald · Amy Pond · River Song · Rose Tyler · Rory Williams
The Daleks are a fictional extraterrestrial race of mutants in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, created by the megalomaniacal scientist Davros of the planet Skaro to be an emotionless "master race" bent on universal conquest and domination, utterly without pity, compassion or remorse. Various storylines portray them as having had every emotion removed except hate, leaving them with a desire to purge the Universe of all non-Dalek life. Occasionally they are shown as experiencing other emotions, primarily fear, although such occurrences are rare.

The Fourth Doctor
- Portrayed by Tom Baker
Genesis of the Daleks
- Davros: Ours is the victory, Nyder. They talk of democracy, freedom, fairness. Those are the creeds of cowards. The ones who would listen to a thousand opinions and try to satisfy them all. Achievement comes through absolute power, and power through strength! They have lost!
- Davros: To hold in my hand, a capsule that contains such power... To know that life and death on such a scale was my choice... To know that the tiny pressure of my thumb - enough to break the glass - would end everything... Yes! I would do it! That power would set me up above the gods! And through the Daleks, I SHALL HAVE THAT POWER!
- Davros: Today the Kaled race is ended, consumed in a fire of war but, from its ashes will rise a new race: the supreme creature, the ultimate conquerer of the universe, the DALEK!!!
- Davros: You must obey me! I created you! I am the master, not you! I-- I-- I--
- Dalek: Our programming does not permit us to acknowledge that any creature is superior to the Daleks!
- Davros: You cannot exist without me! You cannot progress!
- Dalek: We are programmed to survive! We have the ability to develop in any way necessary to ensure that survival!
- Dalek: All inferior creatures are to be considered the enemy of the Daleks, and destroyed!
- Davros: No, wait! Those men are scientists; they can help you! Let them live! Have pity!
- Dalek: "Pity"? I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE! [fires]
- Dalek: We are entombed but we live on. This is only the beginning. We will prepare, we will grow stronger. When the time is right we will emerge and take our rightful place as the supreme power of the universe!
Destiny of the Daleks
- Dalek 1: We will continue!
- Dalek 2: You will not remove your hand from the Sensor!
- Dalek: DO NOT MOOOOVE!!
- Dalek: Seek. Locate. Exterminate!
- Davros: Since my entombment, I have no knowledge of the advancement of my Daleks. Of course, they have achieved great things?
- The Doctor: Oh yes. Oh yes. They've wreaked havoc and destruction, destroyed countless innocent lives...
- Davros: Only the beginning! Now that I have returned, the campaign will begin in earnest! I have slept, but now I have awakened, and the universe will be sorry.
- The Doctor: "I have slept, but now I have awakened, and the universe will be..." You're misquoting Napoleon! One day I'll tell you what happened to him.
The Fifth Doctor
- Portrayed by Peter Davison
The Five Doctors
- Dalek: Halt! At once! You will be exterminated! HALT! HALT!!!

- Dalek: Obey! Obey the Daleks! You will be exterminated!!!
Resurrection of the Daleks
- Dalek: Your duplicates will return to Gallifrey, where, on our command, you will assassinate the members of the High Council!
- The Doctor: NO!
- Dalek: Davros must be exterminated! Nothing must interfere with the true destiny of the Daleks!!
- Davros: The creatures of Earth have no stomach for judicial murder. They prefer to leave you to rot and die. They call it being humane.
- Davros: You hesitate Doctor. If I were you, I'd be dead.
- The Doctor: I lack your practice, Davros.
- Davros: You are soft, like all Time Lords. You prefer to stand and watch. Action requires courage. Something you lack.
- Davros: The universe is at war, Doctor! Name one planet whose history is not littered with atrocities and ambition for empire. It is a universal way of life!
- The Doctor: Which I do not accept.
- Davros: Then you deny what is real.
The Sixth Doctor
- Portrayed by Colin Baker
Revelation of the Daleks
- Davros: You are old, Orcini! Your reflexes have gone! Do you think you're the first to try and kill me?! That tank was but a simple lure - a focal point for the assassin's bullet!
- The Doctor: I see you've been busy.
- Davros: Whereas you have been stupid, Doctor.
- The Doctor: Prerogative of a Time Lord. Where's Peri?
- Davros: Safe... for the time being.
- The Doctor: I'm surprised to see you. The last time we met, your ship blew up - I thought with you on board.
- Davros: Not when there is an escape pod to be had.
- The Doctor: Or a lift by a transporter to this place.
- Davros: Ah, there I was fortunate.
- The Doctor: I liked the statue, by the way. Very good likeness. Though, really, you shouldn't have bothered.
- Davros: As for the news of Stengos' death, it was all part of my scheme to lure you here.
- The Doctor: All very clever. Apart form a little grave-robbing, what else have you been up to?
- Davros: You cannot steal what has already been abandoned. No one is interested in the people here.
- The Doctor: That's not what I've heard.
- Davros: As your grave-robbing friends have now been exterminated, you will not hear the complaint again!
- The Doctor: Do you never do anything but kill?
- Davros: There you are mistaken, Doctor. I am known as the Great Healer. A somewhat flippant title, perhaps, but not without foundation. I have conquered the diseases that brought their victims here. In every way, I have complied with the wishes of those who came in anticipation of one day being returned to life
- The Doctor: But never, in their worst nightmares, did any of them expect to come back... as Daleks!
- The Doctor: Did you ever bother to tell anyone that they might be eating their own dead relatives?
- Davros: Certainly not! That would have created what I believe is termed "consumer resistance". They were grateful for the food. It allowed them to go on living.
- The Doctor: Until you take over their planets?
- Davros: Precisely.
- [Davros' hand has been blown off]
- Davros: Such a foolish waste of energy!
- The Doctor: No 'arm in trying.
- Davros: [seething] When you become a Dalek, you will suffer for every indignity you have ever caused me!
- The Doctor: [Sees two Daleks] Ah, there you are. They went that way.
- Imperial Dalek: You will come with us!
- [The Doctor raises his hands]
- Davros: A box of delight... or a box of hate.
- Dalek: You must surrender. The Earth woman must come with us. It is futile to resist!
- [The Imperial Daleks have captured Davros]
- Imperial Dalek: You will be taken back to Skaro to stand trial for crimes against the Daleks!
- Takis: This used to be a good place before you came. I enjoyed working here. Once you've gone, it will be a good place again.
- The Doctor: I wouldn't be too certain of that. You'll be lucky to be alive at the end of this.
- Takis: But they're going to destroy Davros' Daleks.
- Imperial Dalek: They will not be destroyed. They will be reconditioned to obey the will of the Supreme Dalek!
- [Davros is taken to the Imperial Dalek ship]
- Davros: I created you! I am your master!
- Imperial Dalek: We serve only the Supreme Dalek.
- Davros: That upstart! I could make you all Supreme Daleks! I have the power! You must obey ME!
The Seventh Doctor
- Portrayed by Sylvester McCoy
Remembrance of the Daleks
- Imperial Dalek: You are the Doctor! You are the enemy of the Daleks! You will be exterminated! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
- Imperial Dalek: Small human female sighted on level three.
- Ace: Who are you calling "small"?! (smites Dalek with electrified baseball bat)
- Renegade Dalek: You are my prisoner. You will obey all instructions or you will be exterminated!
- Sergeant Smith: You said it, mate!
- The Girl: [To Mr. Ratcliffe] You are a slave, Ratcliffe. You were born to serve the Daleks!
- [Shot of Imperial Dalek shuttle boarding the mothership]
- Imperial Dalek: Prepare for shuttle docking.
- Imperial Dalek Emperor: Lock the Hand of Omega into the control circuit.
- Imperial Dalek: Omega device is now locked in and running.
- The Doctor: Hello, hello, hello. Dalek mothership. Come in please, come in please!
- [A picture of the Imperial Dalek Emperor appears on the television screen]
- The Doctor: Ah... There you are. This is the Doctor, president elect of the High Council of Time Lords, Keeper of the Legacy of Rassilon, Defender of the Laws of Time, Protector of Gallifrey. I call upon you to surrender the Hand of Omega and return to your customary time and place!
- Imperial Dalek Emperor: Ah, Doctor. You have changed again. Your appearance is as inconstant as your intelligence. You have confounded me for the last time!
- [The Dalek Emperor's dome opens to reveal Davros.]
- The Doctor: Davros. I should have known. I see you've discarded the last vestige of your human form. It's still no improvement.
- Davros: Save your insults for the weak-minded, Doctor.
- The Doctor: Will you return the Hand of Omega or not?!
- Davros: Are you threatening me? If so, it is most unwise.
- The Doctor: Every time our paths have crossed, I have defeated you.
- Davros: [Laughing] You flatter yourself, Doctor! in the end, you are merely another Time Lord!
- The Doctor: Oh, Davros. I am far more than just another Time Lord.
- The Doctor: Davros, the Hand of Omega is not to be trifled with!
- Davros: I think I am quite capable of handling the technology.
- The Doctor: I sincerely doubt that.
- Davros: Does it worry you, Doctor... that with it, I will transform Skaro's sun into a source of unimaginable power?! And with that power at my disposal, the Daleks shall sweep away Gallifrey, and its impotent quorum of Time Lords! The Daleks shall become Lords of Time! We shall become all...
- The Doctor: ... Powerful! Crush the lesser races! Conquer the galaxy! Unimaginable power! Unlimited rice pudding! Et cetera! Et cetera!
- Davros: Do not anger me Doctor! I can destroy you! And this miserable, insignificant planet!
- The Doctor: Oh, wonderful! What power! What brilliance! You can wipe out the odd civilisation and enslave the occasional culture, but it still won't detract from the basic fundimental truth of your own impotence!
- Davros: I will teach you the folly of your words, Doctor! I will destroy you, and demonstrate the power of the Daleks!
The Ninth Doctor
- Portrayed by Christopher Eccleston
Dalek
- NOTE:for this first section,the last Dalek is identified as "Metaltron", because this was what Henry Van Statten called it before it named itself to Van Statten, and also it coincides with the story.
- The Doctor: I've come to help. I'm the Doctor.
- Metaltron (Dalek): [Grating] Doc-tor?
- The Doctor: Impossible...
- Metaltron (Dalek): THE Doctor?! (suddenly lights turn on, revealing the little blue light to be a Dalek) Exterminate! Exterminate! EXTERMINATE!
- The Doctor:(relieved) It's not working. Fantastic! Oh, FANTASTIC!
- The Last Dalek: I am alone in the universe.
- The Doctor: Yup.
- The Last Dalek: So are you. We are the same.
[The Doctor begins electrocuting the Last Dalek]
- The Last Dalek: Have pity!
- The Doctor: Why should I? You never did!
[The Dalek after finishing regenerating and downloading the internet]
- The Last Dalek: The Daleks survive ... in ME!
[After being taunted by characters for being unable to climb stairs]
- The Last Dalek: [flying] Elevate!
- The Last Dalek: The Daleks must survive!
- The Doctor: [angrily] The Daleks have failed! Why don't you finish the job and make the Daleks extinct? Rid the Universe of your filth, why don't you just die?!
[beat]
- The Last Dalek: You would make a good Dalek. (monitor shuts off)
- The Last Dalek: (last words) Exterminate...
[The Last Dalek surrounds itself in a forcefield and self-destructs]
Bad Wolf
- Dalek #1: Alert! Alert! We are detected!
- Dalek #2: It is the Doctor! He has located us!
- Dalek: I will talk to the Doctor.
- The Doctor: Oh, will you? That's nice. Hello!
- Dalek: The Dalek Stratagem nears completion. The Fleet is almost ready. You will not intervene.
- The Doctor: Oh, really? Why's that then?
- Dalek: We have your associate. You will obey or she will be exterminated.
- The Doctor: No.
[The Daleks are a bit thrown by this]
- Dalek: Explain yourself.
- The Doctor: I said 'no'.
- Dalek: What is the meaning of this negative?
- The Doctor: It means 'no'.
- Dalek: But she will be destroyed!
- The Doctor: No! 'Cause this is what I'm gonna do - I'm gonna rescue her. I'm gonna save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek Fleet, and then I'm gonna save the Earth, and then just to finish off, I'm gonna wipe every last stinking Dalek outta the sky!
- Dalek: But you have no weapons! No defences! No plan!
- The Doctor: Yeah. And doesn't that scare you to death!
- Dalek #1: The Doctor is initiating hostile action!
- Dalek #2: The Stratagem must advance. Begin the invasion of Earth!
- Dalek #3: The Doctor will be exterminated!
- Daleks: [in unison] Exterminate!
[A long shot reveals thousands of Daleks, chanting in unison:]
- Daleks: Exterminate! Exterminate! EXTERMINATE!!!
The Parting of the Ways
- Dalek #1: You know The Doctor. You understand him. You will predict his actions.
- Rose: I don't know! And even if I did I wouldn't t-tell you.
- Dalek #1: Predict. Predict! PREDICT!
- Dalek #2: TARDIS detected. In flight.
- Dalek #1: Launch missiles!
- Dalek #2: Exterminate!
- Rose: You can't! That TARDIS doesn't have any defences! You're gonna kill him!
- Dalek #1: You have predicted correctly.
- Daleks: Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
[The Daleks fire, but their weapons impact against a forcefield that protects the Doctor]
- The Doctor: Is that it? Useless! Nul points.
- The Doctor: How did you survive the Time War?
- Dalek Emperor: They survived through me.
- The Doctor: Rose... Captain, this is The Emperor of the Daleks.
- Dalek Emperor: You destroyed us Doctor! The Dalek race died in your inferno, but my ship survived, falling through time. Crippled, but alive!
- The Doctor: I get it.
- Dalek #1: [Frenzied] Do not interrupt!
- Dalek #2: Do not interrupt!
- Dalek #3: Do not interrupt!
- The Doctor: I think you are forgetting something, I'm The Doctor, and if there is one thing I can do, it's talk. I've got 5 billion languages and you haven't got one way of stopping me, so if anyone is going to shut up, IT'S YOU!
[Daleks quickly back away from The Doctor]
- The Doctor: Okey Doke, so... Where were we?
- Dalek Emperor: We waited here, in the dark space... Damaged but rebuilding. Centuries passed and we quietly infiltrated the systems of Earth. Harvesting the waste of humanity, the prisoners, the refugees, the dispossessed, they all came to us. The bodies were filleted, pulped, sifted. The seed of the Human race is perverted; only one cell in a billion was fit to be nurtured!
- The Doctor: So, you created an army of Daleks out of the dead.
- Rose: That makes them... half human.
- The Dalek Emperor: [voice rising] Those words are blasphemy!
- Dalek #1: Do not blaspheme!
- Dalek #2: Do not blaspheme!
- Dalek #3: Do not blaspheme!
- Dalek Emperor: Everything human has been purged, I cultivated pure and blessed Dalek!
- The Doctor: Since when did the Daleks have a concept of Blasphemy?
- Dalek Emperor: I reached into the dirt and gave new life, I am the God of all Daleks!
- All Daleks: WORSHIP HIM! WORSHIP HIM! WORSHIP HIM!
- The Doctor: ...They're insane. Hiding in silence for hundreds of years, that's enough to drive anyone mad. But it's worse than that. Driven mad by your own flesh...the stink of humanity. You hate your own existence. And that makes them more deadly than ever. Rose, Captain, We're leaving!
[Captain Jack is cornered by a trio of Daleks]
- Dalek #1: Exterminate!
- Captain Jack: [defiant] I kinda figured that.
[Captain Jack make a "come on!" gesture, and the Daleks exterminate him]
- The Dalek Emperor: Purify the Earth with fire. The planet will become my temple and we shall rise. This will be our Paradise!
- Rose: (possessed by the power of the Time Vortex) I can see the whole of time and space...every single atom of your existence... and I divide them! (she starts destroying the Daleks, turning them into dust) The Time War...ends!
- The Dalek Emperor: I will not die! I CANNOT DIE!!!
(Rose dissolves him with the power of the Vortex)
The Tenth Doctor
- Portrayed by David Tennant
Army of Ghosts
- Dalek Sec: Location: Earth! Life-forms detected!
- Daleks: [in unison] EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
Doomsday
Which of you is least important?
- Dalek Sec: Which of you is least important?
- Rose: What's that supposed to mean?
- Dalek Sec: [angrier] Which of you is least important?!
- Rose: No, we don't work like that. None of us.
- Dalek Sec: Designate the least important!!
- Rose: [on the Genesis Ark] Then who built it?
- Dalek Sec: The Time Lords! This is all that survives of their homeworld!
- Rose: What's inside?
- Dalek Sec: The future!
- Rose: You didn't need to kill him!
- Dalek Thay: Neither did we need him alive.
- Cyberman: Our species are similar, though your design is inelegant.
- Dalek Thay: Daleks have no concept of elegance!
- Cyberman: This is obvious.
- Cyberman: Our technologies are compatible. Together, we can upgrade the universe.
- Dalek Thay: You propose an alliance?
- Cyberman: This is correct.
- Dalek Thay: Request denied!
(The Cybermen raise their arms, guns out)
- Cybermen: Hostile elements will be deleted! (they fire on Thay, in vain, because Thay's shields absorb the blasts)
- Dalek Thay: EXTERMINATE! (Thay zaps both Cybermen, they glow cyan and fall dead.)
- Cyberman: Daleks, be warned; you have declared war upon the Cybermen.
- Dalek Sec: This is not war. This is pest control!
- Cyberman: We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?
- Dalek Sec: (pause) Four.
- Cyberman: (somewhat tauntingly) You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?!
- Dalek Sec: We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek! You are superior in only one respect.
- Cyberman: What is that?
- Dalek Sec: You are better at dying!
- Dalek Sec: Alert, alert - you are the Doctor.
- Dalek Thay: Sensors report he is unarmed.
- The Doctor: That's me. Always.
- Dalek Sec: Then you are powerless.
- The Doctor: Not me. Never.
- Dalek Thay: I am Dalek Thay.
- Dalek Sec: Dalek Sec.
- Dalek Jast: Dalek Jast.
- Dalek Caan: Dalek Caan.
- The Doctor: So that's it! At last, the Cult of Skaro. I thought you were just a legend.
- Rose: What are they?
- The Doctor: A secret order, above and beyond the Emperor himself! Their job was to imagine, think as the enemy thinks. Even dared to have names...[disgustedly] all to find new ways of killing!
- Dalek Sec: The Doctor will open the Ark!
- The Doctor: [laughing] The Doctor will not.
- Dalek Sec: You have no way of resisting.
- The Doctor: Well... you got me there. Although... there is always this.
[The Doctor pulls out his sonic screwdriver]
- Dalek Sec: A sonic probe?
- The Doctor: (with a touch of machismo) That's 'screwdriver'!
- Dalek Sec: It is harmless.
- The Doctor: Oh, yes. Harmless is just the word. That's why I like it. Doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim. But I'll tell you what it does do - it is very good at opening doors.
[The Doctor activates the screwdriver, and immediately the doors to the room explode open]
- Dalek Sec: (slams open doors to Torchwood Warehouse 1) EXTERMINATE!
- Cybermen Platoon: DELETE!
- Cult of Skaro: EXTERMINATE!
- Cybermen: DELETE! DELETE!
- Torchwood Security: Open fire!
(a really big firefight begins)
- Dalek Sec: The Ark will open! (lots of normal-coloured Daleks shoot out)
- Dalek Sec: Exterminate all life forms below! Exterminate!
- Dalek Sec: It is the Doctor! Exterminate Him!
- Dalek Squad: WE OBEY!
- Dalek Sec: Emergency temporal shift!
Daleks in Manhattan
- Dalek Caan: I have been summoned! Explain! EXPLAIN!
- Dalek Caan: (to Mr Diagoras) This day is ending, humankind is weak, you shelter from the darkness and yet you have built all this.
- Dalek Caan: My planet is gone... Destroyed in a great war. Yet versions of this city stand throughout history. The Human race always continues.
- Dalek Caan: You have rare ambition.
- Dalek Caan: You think like a Dalek.
- Dalek Sec: (through visual link) The human is our best option. Bring it to me!
- Dalek Caan: (to Mr Diagoras) Your loyalty will be rewarded. Come with me.
- Dalek Sec: Prepare the laboratory. The Final Experiment will begin.
- Dalek Thay and Dalek Jast: We obey!
- Mr Diagras: So, where we going?
- Dalek Caan: You have been summoned by our leader.
- Mr Diagras: (leans around Caan's flank to speak directly his eyestalk) 'Bout time too.
- Mr Diagras: I take it you're in charge.
- Dalek Sec: Correct. I am Dalek Sec, leader of the Cult of Skaro.
- Dalek Sec: Cease talking! ... I said, CEASE! Slaves, secure the human.
- Dalek Sec: This is the final experiment.
- Dalek Sec: The pig slaves are primitive. The final experiment is greater by far.
- Dalek Sec: We need your flesh. Bring him to me!
- Dalek Thay: Halt! This action contradicts the Dalek imperative.
- Dalek Jast: Daleks are supreme, Humans are weak.
- Dalek Sec: But there are millions of humans and only four of us. If we are supreme, why are we not victorious? The Cult of Skaro was created by the Emperor for this very purpose; to imagine new ways of survival!
- Dalek Thay: But we must remain pure!
- Dalek Sec: No, Dalek Thay. Our purity has brought us to extinction! We must adapt to survive. You have all made sacrifices, and now I will sacrifice myself... for the greater cause... for the future of Dalek-Kind. Now, bring me the human!
(Sec's casing opens, revealing the creature inside)
- Dalek Sec: Behold the true Dalek form. Now, join with me!
(Diagaras is thrust in, then the casing closes)
- Dalek Thay: Stop the process! Dalek Sec is failing.
- Dalek Sec: (heavily distorted voice) No! The experiment must continue. Administer the solution! We must evolve. Evolve! EVOLVE!
- Dalek Caan: Silence! Silence! You will form a line. Move. Move!
- Dalek Caan: The female is wise; obey!
- Dalek Thay: Report!
- Dalek Caan: These are strong specimens. They will help the Dalek cause. What is the status of the Final Experiment?
- Dalek Thay: The Dalekanium is in place. The energy conductor is now complete.
- Dalek Caan: Then I will extract prisoners for selection. Intelligence scan initiate... reading brainwaves... low intelligence.
- Martha: You can't experiment on people, it's insane, it's inhuman!
- Dalek Caan: We are not human.
- Dalek Caan: Report.
- Dalek Jast: Dalek Sec is entering the final stage of evolution.
- Dalek Caan: Scan him. Prepare for birth.
- Dalek Caan: You will bear witness. This is the dawn of a new age. We are the only four Daleks in existence. So the species must evolve; a life outside the shell. The children of Skaro must walk again!
- Hybrid Sec : I.....am....a human.......Dalek! I........am.........your future!
Evolution of the Daleks
- Hybrid Sec: These humans will become like me. Prepare them for hybridisation.
- Hybrid Sec: I am Dalek in Human form!
- Hybrid Sec: I... feel... humanity. I feel everything we wanted from mankind, which is... ambition, hatred, aggression and war... such a genius for war.
- The Doctor: No. That's not what humanity means-
- Hybrid Sec: I think it does! At heart this species is so very... Dalek!
- Dalek Thay: Protect the Hybrid!
- Daleks: PROTECT! PROTECT! PROTECT!
- Dalek Caan: Report status.
- Hybrid Sec: Pain... pain of the flesh. Like no Dalek has felt for thousands of years.
- Dalek Caan: The Doctor has escaped.
- Hybrid Sec: Then Find Him! Find Him!!
- Dalek Jast: They have ascended (climbed ladder).
- Dalek Caan: (to pig slaves) Return to base. (pause) Request information: What is your opinion of Dalek Sec?
- Dalek Jast: We were created to follow him.
- Dalek Caan: But you have doubts?
- [Dalek Jast looks around]
- Dalek Jast: Affirmative.
- Dalek Caan: I will be the destroyer of our greatest enemy!
- [warning klaxons blare]
- Hybrid Sec: Is there a malfunction?
- [Daleks ignore Sec]
- Hybrid Sec: Answer me!
- The Doctor: (examines control readouts) They're hijacking the system!
- Dalek Jast: (aims weapon at Doctor) THE DOCTOR will STEP AWAY from the controls!
- Hybrid Sec: STOP! You will not fire!
- Dalek Caan: (moves forward) He is an enemy of the Daleks - and so are you! (aims weapon at Sec)
- Hybrid Sec: I am your commander! I am Dalek Sec!
- Dalek Caan: You have lost your authority!
- Dalek Jast: You are no longer a Dalek.
- Dalek Thay: The new bodies will be 100% Dalek!
- Hybrid Sec: You can't do this!
- Dalek Jast: Pig Slaves, restrain Dalek Sec and the Doctor.
- Hybrid Sec: Release me! I created you! I am your master!
- Dalek Caan: Solar Flare approaching! Prepare to intercept!
- Dalek Thay: Gamma Strike Four Minutes And Counting!
- Hybrid Sec: You... have... betrayed me!
- Dalek Caan: You told us to 'imagine'... and we 'imagined' your irrelevance.
- Dalek Caan: The Army Awakes!
- Dalek Caan: You will identify.
- Dalek-Human: I... am... a Dalek.
- Dalek Caan: Excellent!
- Dalek Thay: Begin the invasion of Manhattan. The population will be converted into Daleks.
- Dalek Jast: And from this island, we will conquer the world!
- Dalek Caan: Assume battle positions! Take arms!
- Dalek Caan: War demands strategy! I am designated Controller!
- Hybrid Sec: That was to be my position!
- Dalek Thay: You are unfit.
- Dalek Caan: Connect me to the military computer. I will coordinate all units.
- Dalek Thay: Report status.
- Dalek Caan: Maximum efficiency! I am now ready for full scale war!
- Dalek Thay: Control over Dalek Humans?
- Dalek Caan: Connection confirmed. All soldiers will take heed. Weapons will be primed.
- Dalek Caan: Sonic device detected!
- Dalek Thay: The Doctor survived?
- Dalek Jast: Find him and exterminate!
- Dalek Thay: The Doctor will stand before the Daleks! You will die, Doctor! At the beginning of a new age.
- Dalek Jast: Planet Earth will become New Skaro!
- The Doctor: [scornfully] And what a world, with anything just the slightest bit different ground into the dirt! That's Dalek Sec! The cleverest Dalek who ever existed and look what you've done to him!
- Hybrid Sec: My Daleks, just understand this; if you choose death and destruction, then death and destruction will choose you.
- Dalek Thay: Incorrect! We always survive!
- Dalek Jast: Now we will destroy our greatest enemy - The Doctor!
- Dalek Sec Hybrid: But he can help you!
- Dalek Thay: The Doctor must die.
- Hybrid Sec: No! I beg you, dont--
- Dalek Thay: EXTERMINATE!
- Dalek Thay: If they will not obey then they must die! (exterminates Human Dalek squad leader. Human Daleks return fire)
- Daleks Thay and Jast: EXTERMINATE!
- Dalek Caan: Destroy the hybrids! Destroy!
- Dalek Caan: The Dalek Humans are failures! Destruct! Destruct! DESTRUCT!
- The Doctor: Let me help you... Caan -
- Dalek Caan: - Emergency Temporal Shift!
The Stolen Earth
- First Dalek: Dalek Fleet in battle formation.
- Second Dalek: All systems locked and primed.
- Third Dalek: Crucible at 90 percent efficiency.
- Fourth Dalek: The human harvest will commence!
- Dalek: Supreme Dalek on the bridge!
- Supreme Dalek: (Emerges through a large door) Soon the Crucible will be complete. We have waited long for this ultimate destiny! Now the Daleks are the masters of Earth!
- Multitude of Daleks: Daleks are the masters of Earth! Daleks are the masters of Earth!
- Daleks: UNIT forces will be exterminated! Annihilate UNIT! EXTERMINATE!
- Davros: [hidden in shadow] Supreme Dalek, is there news?
- Supreme Dalek: Earth has been subjugated!
- Davros: I mean, is there news of him?
- Supreme Dalek: Negative. No reports of Time Lord. We are beyond the Doctor's reach.
- Davros: Fascinating. If I had not elevated you beyond crude emotions, I could almost mistake that tone for one of victory. Beware your pride!
- Supreme Dalek: The Doctor cannot stop us!
- Davros: And yet, Dalek Caan is uneasy. [activates the lights, revealing Caan]
- Supreme Dalek: [disgusted] The Abomination is insane!
- Davros: Show respect! Without Dalek Caan, none of this would be possible, and he speaks only the truth...
- Dalek Caan: He is coming. The threefold man, he dances in the lonely places. O Creator of us all, The Doctor is coming! [maniacal laughter]
- Dalek Caan: He is here. The Dark Lord is come.
- Dalek Caan: I flew into the wild and fire! I danced and died a thousand times!
- Dalek: Halt! You will come with me!
- Wilfred Mott: Will I heck! (Wilf fires a paintball on the Dalek's eyestalk)
- Dalek: (Evaporates the paint) My vision is not impaired!
- Dalek: Hostility will not be tolerated! Exterminate! Exterminate!
- Davros: The Children of Time are moving against us, but everything is falling into place.
- Davros: Welcome - Doctor - To my new empire.
- Dalek: The Daleks reign supreme, all hail the Daleks!
- Harriet Jones: Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister.
- Dalek: Yes, we know who you are.
- Dalek: All humans will leave their homes. The male, the female, the descendants.
- Man: Where are you taking us?
- Dalek: Daleks do not answer human questions. Stand in line.
- Supreme Dalek: Emergency! Locate the TARDIS! Find the Doctor!
- Davros: [contemptuous] He will go to the Earth, to find his precious human allies!
- Dalek Caan: And death is coming. Oh, I can SEE it! Everlasting death for the most-faithful companion!
Journey's End
- Supreme Dalek: Behold, Doctor! Behold the might of the true Dalek race!
- Supreme Dalek: [about the Doctor and Rose] Take them to the Vault. They are the playthings of Davros now.
- Davros: Activate the holding cells. [the Doctor and Rose are imprisoned] Excellent! Even when powerless, a Time Lord is best contained.
- The Doctor: [coldly] Still scared of me?
- Davros: It is time we talked, Doctor, after so very long.
- The Doctor: No, no, no, no, no, we're not doing the nostalgia tour; I wanna know what's happening right here, right now! Cos the Supreme Dalek said "Vault", as in dungeon, cellar, prison...you're not in charge of the Daleks, are you? They've got you locked away down here in the basement like the basement like a what? Servant? Slave? Court jester?
- Davros: [evasively] We have... [pause]...an arrangement.
- The Doctor: [amused] No, no, no, no, no! I've got the word; you're the Daleks' pet!
- [Davros turns away from the Doctor to face Rose]
- Davros: So very full of fire, is he not!? [contemptuous] And to think, you crossed entire universes, striding parallel to parallel to find him again!
- The Doctor: [angrily] Leave her alone!
- Davros: [smugly] She is mine, Doctor, to do with as I please!
- Rose: Then why am I still alive?
- Davros: You must be here; it was foretold. Even the Supreme Dalek would not dare to contradict the prophecies of Dalek Caan! [Davros turns on the lights revealing Caan]
- Dalek Caan: So cold and dark...fire is coming; the endless flames!
- Rose: [disgusted] What is that thing?
- The Doctor: You've met before. The last of the Cult of Skaro. But it flew into the Time War, unprotected.
- Davros: Caan did more than that; he saw Time! Its infinite complexity and majesty raging through his mind, and...he saw you. Both of you.
- Dalek Caan: This I have forseen, in the wild and the wind; the Doctor will be here as witness at the end of everything. The Doctor and his precious Children of Time! [giggles madly] And one of them will die!
- The Doctor: [furious] Was it you, Caan!? Did you kill Donna!? Why did the TARDIS door close!? TELL ME!
- Davros: [with cruel glee] Oh, that's it! The anger! The fire! The rage of a Time Lord...WHO BUTCHERED MILLIONS! There he is...why so shy? Show your companion. Show her your true self! Dalek Caan has promised me that too!
- Dalek Caan: I have seen, at the time of ending, the Doctor's soul will be revealed!
- The Doctor: [unnerved] What does that mean?
- Davros: We will discover it together. Our final journey, because the ending approaches; the testing begins.
- The Doctor: Testing of what?
- Davros: The Reality Bomb.
- Davros: Behold, the apotheosis of my genius!
- [After the test firing of the Reality Bomb]
- Rose: Doctor, what happened?
- Davros: Electrical energy, Miss Tyler. Every atom in existence is bound by an electrical field. The Reality Bomb cancels it out; structure falls apart. That test was focused on the prisoners alone; full transmission will dissolve every form of matter.
- Rose: The stars are going out...!
- The Doctor: [horrified] The 27 planets, they become one vast transmitter, blasting that wavelength-
- Davros: Across the entire universe! Never stopping, never faltering, never fading. People and planets and stars will become dust! And the dust will become atoms and the atoms will become...nothing. And the wavelength will continue, breaking through the rift at the heart of the Medusa Cascade into every dimension, every paralell, every single corner of creation! This is my ultimate victory, Doctor! The destruction of REALITY ITSELF!
- [After Martha arrives in Germany]
- Squad of Daleks: Exterminieren! Exterminieren! Halt! Sonst werden wir Sie exterminieren! Sie sind jetzt ein Gefangener der Daleks! (Exterminate! Exterminate! Stop! Otherwise we will exterminate you! You are now a prisoner of the Daleks!)
- Supreme Dalek: Prepare for universal detonation! The Fleet will gather at the Crucible! All Daleks will return to shelter from the cataclysm! We will become the only lifeforms IN EXISTENCE!
- Davros: The Doctor, the man who keeps running, never looking back because he dare not...out of shame! This is my final victory, Doctor: I have shown you yourself!
- Davros: Stand witness, Time Lord; Stand witness, humans: Your strategies have failed, your weapons are useless, and... oh, the end of the universe has come!
- Davros: I was wrong about your warriors, Doctor. They are pathetic!
- Davros: But you promised me, Dalek Caan! Why did you not foresee this!?
- [Dalek Caan cackles maniacally]
- The Doctor: Oh I think he did. Something's been manipulating the timelines for ages, getting Donna Noble to the right place at the right time!
- Dalek Caan: This would always have happened. I only helped, Doctor!
- Davros: [shocked and outraged] You betrayed the Daleks!
- Dalek Caan: I saw the Daleks! What we have done throughout time and space! I saw the truth of us, Creator, and I decreed "No more!"
- Supreme Dalek: I will descend to the Vault!
- Jack Harkness: HEADS UP!
- Supreme Dalek: Davros, you have betrayed us!
- Davros: [terrified] IT WAS DALEK CAAN!
- Supreme Dalek: The Vault will be purged! You will all be EXTERMINATED!
- The Doctor: Davros, come with me! I promise I can save you!
- Davros: Never forget, Doctor: YOU DID THIS! I name you, forever...YOU are the Destroyer of Worlds! [screams in fury]
- Dalek Caan: One will still die.
The Eleventh Doctor
- Portrayed by Matt Smith
Victory of the Daleks
Would you care for some tea?
- Ironside/Dalek: I am your soldier!
- Bracewell: And what is your ultimate aim?
- Ironside/Dalek: To win the war!
- Ironside/Dalek: Would you care for some tea?
- [The Doctor strikes the Dalek with a huge wrench]
- Ironside/Dalek: You do not require tea?
- Dalek: We seek only to help you.
- The Doctor: To do what?
- Dalek: To win the war.
- The Doctor: Really? Which war?
- Dalek: I do not understand.
- The Doctor: This war against the Nazis or your war against the rest of the universe? The war against all lifeforms that are not Dalek?
- Dalek: I do not understand. I am your soldier.
- The Doctor: You hate me! You want to kill me! Well, go on! Kill me! Kill me!
- Amy: Doctor, be careful!
- Dalek: Please desist from striking me. I am your soldier.
- The Doctor: [He accentuates each word by hitting the Dalek each time] You — are — my — enemy — and I am yours! You are everything I despise. The worst thing in all creation. I've defeated you. Time and time again, I've defeated you. I sent you back into the Void. I saved the whole of reality from you. I am the Doctor, and you are the Daleks!
- [He kicks the Dalek backwards]
- Dalek: [beat] Correct.
- Dalek: Behold the restoration of the Daleks! The resurrection of the master race!
- Old Dalek: All hail the new Daleks! All hail the new Daleks!
- Supreme Paradigm Dalek: Yes....you are inferior....
- Old Dalek: ...Yes..
- Supreme Paradigm Dalek: Then prepare!
- Old Daleks: We are ready!
- Supreme Paradigm Dalek: Cleanse the unclean! Total obliteration disintegrate!
- Supreme Paradigm Dalek: Choose, Doctor! Destroy the Daleks, or save the Earth!
The Pandorica Opens
- Supreme Paradigm Dalek: You have been scanned. Assessed. Understood... Doctor.
- Supreme Paradigm Dalek: The cracks in time are the work of the Doctor. It is confirmed!
- The Doctor: No, no, no, not me, the TARDIS! And I'm not in the TARDIS, am I?
- Dalek Paradigm Supreme: Only the Doctor could pilot the TARDIS.
- The Doctor: Please! Listen to me!
- Dalek Paradigm Supreme: You will be prevented!
The Big Bang
- Dalek: You will be exterminated!
- River Song: Not yet. Your systems are still restoring, which means your shield density is compromised. One alpha-meson burst through your eye-stalk would kill you stone dead.
- Dalek: Records indicate you will show mercy. You are an associate of the Doctor!
- River Song: I'm River Song. Check your records again. [aims for the eye-stalk]
- Dalek: ...Mercy.
- River Song: Say it again?
- Dalek: Mercy!
- River Song: One more time.
- Dalek: MERCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
- [Cut to River rejoining Amy and Rory]
- Amy: Where's the Dalek?
- River: [coldly] It died.
The Wedding of River Song
- [As the Doctor removes its headpiece to scan its data core for information on the Silence]
- Dalek: Emergency! Emergency! Weapon system disabled! Emergency protocols have been breached! Emergency! Emergency! Emergency...!
Asylum of the Daleks
Save us. You will save us. You will save the Daleks!
- Daleks: Save us. You will save us. You will save the Daleks!
- Dalek Prime Minister: What do you know of the Dalek Asylum?
- The Doctor: According to legend, you have a dumping ground. A planet where you lock up all the Daleks that go wrong. The battle-scarred, the insane, the ones even you can't control. Which never made any sense to me...
- Dalek Prime Minister: Why not?
- The Doctor: Because you'd just kill them!
- Dalek Prime Minister: It is offensive to us to extinguish such divine hatred.
- The Doctor: [stunned] Offensive?!
- Dalek Prime Minister: Does it surprise you to know the Daleks have a concept of beauty?
- The Doctor: [disgusted] I thought you'd run out of ways to make me sick, but hello again! You think hatred is beautiful?!
- Dalek Prime Minister: Perhaps that is why we have never been able to kill you.
- Oswin Oswald: Do you know how you make someone into a Dalek? Subtract Love, add Anger.
- [The Doctor enters the Asylum's "Intensive Care"]
- The Doctor: What's so special about this lot?
- Oswin: Don't know. Survivors of particular wars; Spiridon, Kembel, Aridius, Vulcan, Exxilon. Ringing any bells?
- The Doctor: All of them.
- Oswin: Yeah? How?
- The Doctor: These are the Daleks who survived me.
