Chalet area
Gavrok: Give me Delta and I will give you your life.
The Doctor: Life? What do you know about life, Gavrok? You deal in death. Lies, treachery and m*rder are your currency. You promise life, but in the end it will be life which defeats you.
Gavrok: You have said enough. I have traversed time and space to find the Chimeron queen. I will not be defeated.
The Doctor: As you will. I came here under a white flag and I will leave under that same white flag, and woe betide any man who breaches its integrity. Now step aside! Release those prisoners.
The Doctor: Gavrok, it's over. You're finished, and we're leaving.
The Doctor: Actually, I think I may have gone a little too far.
Welsh countryside
Callon: Up.
Arrex: Up, up.
Hawk: What's happening now, Weismuller?
Weismuller: I don't know, but whatever it is, it's, it's better than, than just sitting around. Hey! Holy mackerel.
Weismuller: Boy. Listen, let's try sitting down again, eh?
Hawk: Okay.
Weismuller: All right. One, two, three.
Ray: I thought they'd never go. Can you move?
Hawk: Sure, if I leave my neck behind.
Weismuller: Oh, gee. It's no use, lady. They've got a special kind of wrench. It's sort of like a dinky Allen key.
Ray: Is this dinky enough?
Hawk: It's looking good, sister.
Ray: I'll have you out in a minute, then follow me in your car.
Weismuller: Who is she?
Country lane
Mel: We did it, Doctor! Free!
The Doctor: Yes, there's more to this than we can fry, Mel.
The Doctor: Duck!
Mel: Did they get you, Doctor?
The Doctor: No, and I don't think they intended to.
Mel: You could have fooled me.
Goronwy's cottage
Goronwy: This is the queen's hive.
Billy: What's that white stuff?
Goronwy: Oh, royal jelly. It's a superfood created by the bees themselves. It has the ability to change an ordinary worker bee's larvae into a queen.
Billy: And that's all there is to it, a better diet?
Goronwy: Never underestimate the powers of nature, Billy. Now, I want to show you something.
Honey store
Goronwy: Now, look at all those jars. Wales' finest honey, all created by my little friends.
Billy: How long did it take them to make all this lot?
Goronwy: Oh, I don't know. We've been working together so long I've completely lost track of all time. But I remember this one especially well. 1932, a hot summer and abundant cherry blossom. A classic honey.
Delta: She's due to change. The singing time is near.
Billy: What's the singing time?
Delta: The next stage in her growth. This food will help boost her energy for the change.
Billy: Will she grow up to be a princess, too?
Delta: Yes. Her hair and her eyes are already changing. I've fed her this since she was born.
Billy: Sometimes that sounds good, other times it's horrible.
Delta: One frequency is an att*ck warning, and the other is musical. Soon she'll be able to control both.
Goronwy: Ah, Ray's back with those two lovely American gentlemen.
Goronwy: Hello!
Welsh countryside
Callon: Tracker dart in place, sir, but the prisoners have escaped.
Gavrok (O.C.): Idiot. Pursue at once. I will follow the signal.
Country lane
Mel: Let's go that way.
The Doctor: Which way? That way?
Outside Shangri La
Gavrok: Return to the fighter.
Gavrok: Sonic cone.
Field
Mel: Doctor!
Mel: Why are we stopping, Doctor?
The Doctor: In order to lengthen our odds, may I borrow a length of your ribbon?
Outside Goronwy's cottage
Hawk: All I know is, they're not Americans.
Ray: But we've already explained who they are.
Weismuller: Yeah, they're like hit men from Mars.
Hawk: You too, Weismuller? Whoever they are, I plan to get even.
Goronwy: Listen.
Ray: You rescued them, Doctor!
The Doctor: Ah, we're not in the clear yet. Er, Ray tells me you've got some honey stored, Goronwy.
Goronwy: Only about ten thousand jars, Doctor.
The Doctor: Excellent! Billy, Ray, you come with me and Goronwy. I've got one final thing to do.
Gavrok's spaceship
Gavrok: Signal has stabilised. Prepare to blast off.
Goronwy's cottage
Weismuller: But it's our patriotic duty to call Washington, Hawk.
Hawk: Yeah, well, you go ahead, Weismuller. I ain't licked yet.
The Doctor: She saved Delta's life with a warning cry. She's now into the singing time.
Billy: Do you think there are any more of them?
The Doctor: Certainly. We'd better get back to the TARDIS, so we'll get ready to leave immediately.
Gavrok's spaceship
Gavrok: Prepare to land.
Outside Goronwy's cottage
The Doctor: Now, I need something of Delta's.
The Doctor: Thank you.
The Doctor: Are you ready, my cariad?
Ray: Doctor.
The Doctor: Head 'em up! Roll 'em out!
Goat field
Gavrok: What is this?
Arrex: Gavrok! I found their hideout, sir.
Outside Goronwy's cottage
Gavrok: They're still there. Stand by to storm it.
Outside Shangri La
The Doctor: Stay back! The TARDIS has been booby-trapped.
Hawk: Booby-trapped? Ain't nothing but a telephone booth.
The Doctor: See up there, next to the light? There's a small beam w*apon. It emits a cone of sensitivity all round the TARDIS. Anything entering that cone detonates an expl*si*n.
Ray: Can't you somehow get around it?
The Doctor: I don't know. It's a very sophisticated system.
Hawk: I reckon this is all so much eyewash. I'm a-calling the chief.
The Doctor: I did warn you. If you'd have stepped into that beam, you'd have been atomised.
Outside Goronwy's cottage
Gavrok: Open fire!
Outside Shangri La
The Doctor: Mister Burton?
Burton: Yes?
The Doctor: Take everyone back to the camp.
Burton: Right.
The Doctor: Let me stay here and try and work out how to diffuse that booby-trap, because if it explodes with its full force, it'll take us all with it.
Outside Goronwy's cottage
Gavrok: Forward!
Gavrok: Where are they? Scum!
Bannerman: Gavrok!
Garage
Delta: What's that you're hiding, Billy?
Delta: You haven't been eating that, have you?
Billy: I had to, Delta. I'm not a Chimeron, but if I'm to come with you, then I have to become one.
Delta: But it's never been tried on humans before. It might k*ll you.
Billy: It'll be all right. I think. Look at my skin and my hair. They're already changing.
Burton: Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we're ready for you at the office now, Billy.
Billy: Sure thing, Mister Burton.
Outside Shangri La
Ray: Oh, what are you doing, Doctor?
The Doctor: Well, I was marking out where the sonic cone meets the ground.
Ray: Why?
The Doctor: Well, you see, the beam casts a shadow at the base of the TARDIS. Now, if we could tunnel under the cone and come up in that shadow, then perhaps I could disarm it.
Ray: Er, Doctor?
The Doctor: Yes, I know it's time consuming, but it's our only choice.
Ray: No, look.
The Doctor: Apart from plan B. Run!
Main hall
The Doctor: They're here! Ray, everyone else stay here until its safe to come out. Goronwy, have you got the beeswax? Thank you. Delta and your daughter, come with me. Barricade the door.
Office
Burton: Oh, I haven't used it in over forty years, but it'll still put the wind up a Bannerman.
Billy: Almost finished with these connections, Mister Burton.
Burton: Through sh*t and shell, eh? We'll teach these blighters a lesson.
The Doctor: Oh! Excellent effort, Mister Burton, but the w*apon we're using will be a little more sophisticated. Are you ready, Billy?
Billy: Ready to rock and roll.
The Doctor: Right, let's roll.
Chalet block roof
Billy: They're coming.
The Doctor: All haste and no speed makes Jill a dull girl. Pass the side cutters.
Play area
Gavrok: Once inside, you will k*ll everyone except the young princess. I will deal with her personally.
Chalet block roof
Billy: Now?
The Doctor: A moment's impatience would mean our certain annihilation.
Play area
Gavrok: sn*pers, forward! k*ll them! On the roof!
Chalet block roof
The Doctor: Ah, they've spotted us, Billy. Run!
Play area
Gavrok: Forward!
Office
The Doctor: Now!
Play area
The Doctor: Secure them with these.
Weismuller: Oh, thanks, Doctor. You know, when I was an Eagle scout, knots was my best thing. Okay, pal, here's my speciality. A running noose combined with a dog shank. How about that?
Office
The Doctor: It's over. Well done, Princess, that was wonderful. It's over, Mister Burton.
The Doctor: Mister Burton, it's over. It's over.
Burton: Oh! Aye.
The Doctor: It's over, we won!
Burton: Oh, lovely, lovely.
The Doctor: Now, come and see your new spaceship, Delta, Princess.
Play area
Weismuller: Boy, you're the sorriest bunch of Bannermen I've ever seen.
Delta: Thank you for your help and courage. All of you.
Mel: Are Billy and the Doctor all right?
Delta: Yes. Billy's just changing.
Billy's chalet
The Doctor: I know without a male the race will be wiped out, but I haven't seen many examples of species crossing. There could be the most dreadful mutation.
Billy: It's our only chance, Doctor.
The Doctor: I can't condone this foolishness, but then, love has never been known for its rationality.
Main hall
Goronwy: And then, you see, the new young queen comes along and the whole colony swarms all around her, and off they go to find a new hive. A new hive and a new life.
Hawk: That's amazing.
Goronwy: Well, let's go and see what's happening.
Gavrok's spaceship
Weismuller: Well, that should hold them all the way back to Mars, or wherever you're going.
Delta: Considerably further than that.
Weismuller: Bye.
Delta: Bye-bye.
Billy: Everything ship-shape?
Delta: Yes.
Billy: I'll just stow all my gear.
Play area
Ray: What are you thinking, Doctor?
The Doctor: I was just speculating what this vehicle would be like with more sophisticated braking and suspension systems.
Ray: Are you kidding? This is the best there is.
Delta: I don't know how I can ever thank you for what you've done. You've saved my planet and my people. You will always be welcome.
Billy: Goodbye, everyone. I'll always think of you here at Shangri La, Ray.
Ray: Goodbye, Billy. I won't forget you, either.
Billy: Oh, I almost forgot. Will you look after the Vincent for me? Remember to feather the clutch.
Ray: Bye.
All: Bye!
Gavrok's spaceship
Singer: Love is the answer. Here's to the future.
Billy: Let's make this baby fly.
Outside Shangri La
Mel: Stop!
The Doctor: No, don't worry. Gavrok absorbed so much energy that the device has lost all its power.
The Doctor: Way hey. Ah, Mister Burton. Thank you for saving Mel's life.
Burton: No, thank you, Doctor. I haven't had such a shindig since I went buffalo hunting in Africa. Oh, it's a ferocious brute, you know, the buffalo.
Goronwy: 1928, hibiscus blossom.
The Doctor: Oh, what a sweet gesture. Oh, you're more than a collector, Goronwy. You're a man of taste.
Burton: Oh, good heavens. The Skegness Glee Club, and I haven't got any staff.
Burton: Oh, I'll have to go. Goodbye, my dear.
Mel: Goodbye.
Burton: Ah, welcome, campers. Now I am your camp leader while you are at Shangri La. My name is Burton.
The Doctor: I believe this is your satellite, gentlemen.
Weismuller: We did it! We actually did it, Hawk.
Hawk: It's wonderful! It's wonderful!
Weismuller: Thanks, Doctor.
