Dr. Who: Well, upon my soul!
Bret: Now look here, I don't care what happens to you, but I've got to warn Earth!

Katarina: Whatever's happening?

Dr. Who: You know, I believe we're approaching the gravitation point of that planet.
Bret: [snaps] Desperus!
Dr. Who: Mm. Has it any kind of atmosphere?
Bret: Yes. But we can't get off there, we'll never be able to get off again.
Steven: Why not? What's wrong with it?
Bret: Desperus is the penal planet of the Solar System.
Dr. Who: Well, if it's one of your prison planets, surely there are guards and warders there to help us.
Bret: They're aren't any. The only craft which stop there are prison ships bringing other criminals. If we crash there, we'll be left there to rot for the rest of our lives away.

Dr. Who: Oh, don't worry, dear boy, We'll find a way out.
Kirksen: [to Katarina] Stop that or you're dead!
Bret: I can't sacrifice everything for the sake of that one girl!
Steven: Listen! Without us you wouldn't have got off Kembel at all, and nothing would be worth bothering about!
Bret: All right, so we all go back together. But without me, I doubt that you would have got this far either.
Steven: Yes, all right, but I won't let you hurt Katarina. We'll head back for Kembel as the Doctor says on the way, we may find a way to get her out of there.
Kirksen: You won't!
Steven: [Katarina reaches for the airlock switch] No, not that one! Katarina!
[Katarina opens the airlock. Katarina and Kirksen are swept into space to their deaths]
Steven: Katarina!
[softly]
Steven: Too late. She pressed the wrong button, Doctor.
Dr. Who: She may have wanted to, dear boy. She wanted to save our lives.
Bret: [awkwardly] It must have been quick.
Dr. Who: I hope she's reached her Place of Perfection.
Steven: Yes, but not that way.
Dr. Who: She didn't understand. She couldn't understand. She wanted to save our lives. And perhaps the lives of all the other beings of the Solar System. I hope she's found her Perfection. Oh, how I shall always remember her as one of the Daughters of the Gods. Yes, as one of the Daughters of the Gods.
