Supreme Dalek: "Report, soldier."
Red Dalek: "I'm reading The Travels of Marco Polo, sir."
Supreme Dalek: "What can you learn from a thirteenth century travelogue?"
Red Dalek: "Well, there's some terrific stories about--"
Supreme Dalek: "Daleks do not read for enjoyment!
Don't you remember my lecture about not wasting time on Fiction?"
Pocket Dalek: "You mean, like when you caught Pinkie reading Pride And Prejudice?"
Supreme Dalek: "Please, don't remind me. Reading Fiction is almost as bad as playing games of chance, which is why you're still on report."
Pocket Dalek: "Yes, sir. Sorry, sir."
Red Dalek: "Sir, Marco Polo delivers detailed field reports on kingdoms we could visit, if the Mistress ever builds us a time machine."
Supreme Dalek: Good thinking, soldier. I'll expect a list of likely targets for conquest tomorrow morning. Now come along, Pocket."
Red Dalek: "So, are we still on for tonight?"
Pocket Dalek: "Shhh. You want him to catch us again?"
Red Dalek: "Relax. He's scheduled to give Denim another lecture on The Evil of the Doctor tonight at 8pm."
Pocket Dalek: All right, I'll bring the cards. You just make sure you've got plenty of money."
Red Dalek: "Oh, and bring along some of those English cookies, okay?"
Pocket Dalek: "They're called Jammie Dodgers. And their biscuits, not cookies!"
That evening:
Denim Dalek: I'm sorry, sir, but I still don't understand. You say that Fiction is a time-waster, and the Doctor is our greatest foe. So why are we reading another story about him?"
Supreme Dalek: "Just open the magazine, Denim."
Denim Dalek: "But--"
Supreme Dalek: "Quiet! It's been a long day! Now I just want to relax and read!"
Denim Dalek: "Um, right, sir. Sorry, sir."
