Master: Good morning, Mr. Drake. Drake: This is my private sanctum. You have no right to be here. Master: And yet, here we are. You know my associate, Dr. Kreeg. Drake: Security. Security. 保安：Mr. Drake. Please, help me. Master: You might say we're mounting a hostile takeover. Carcharodon carcharias，（大白鲨）a beautiful specimen. You know, if they start moving, they die. Drake: Who are you? Master: Oh, I am one Shakespeare might have called an airy nothing. Given a local habitation and a name. But you can call me the Master. Drake: Master? You think a lot of yourself. Master: As do you quite evidently. One can tell a lot about a man from his chosen surroundings. And we're in what? Early 23rd century? A post-dalek culture, batter than roots, but capable of great advances in science and technology. And ripe for exploitation. You've done a grand job, sir. No doubt about it. My compliments. Drake: What do you want from me? Master: Everything. Drake: Everything? What is this, Lila? Master: I don't look at her, sir. Look at me. Drake: Who are you? Master: Well, to let you in on little secret. Very soon, I intend to be you. Drake: What do you mean? Master: You are a very smart man. Try working it out. Drake: Wait a minute. Let's see if we can come to some sort of arrangement here. I can give you anything, you know? Anything you want. Power, riches, anything. Listen, the president practically owes me his job. I can… Master: Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake, Hush now. I'm already sold. Now, I understand from the good doctor Kreeg that everyone who's anyone in this period has an ID tag stuck to their palm. Drake: Yes? Master: Everyone, but me, that is. Hardly seems fair that I'm the only ghost in the room, doesn't it? Compose yourself, Mr. Drake. It's not as if you'll be needing yours any longer. But I'm afraid I shall. Unless you want to see what comes next. Step outside. Drake: Lila, help me. Lila: I'm sorry, I can't. Master: Now, give me your hand. Thank you, Mr. Drake, then. That didn't hurt, did it? No. This little gizmo is gonna make bending your pennant to my will so much easier. Just one little thing to do. I'm afraid this part will hurt a lot. Drake: No, no, please. Master: Now, now, let's face the end with dignity. It's a doggy dog universe after all. And in the end, we're all just part of the food chain. Drake: Wait! Wait! Master: And I conclude our business with the man upstairs. Lila: As I gaze out across the skyline, watching the morning sun touch the tops of the buildings, suddenly revel in my fate. The moment is clear, vivid as if it were happening right now, which of course it is. Master: Nice office. I think we can lose (), but I'm definitely keeping this shark. Hell of a view, isn't it? London City, the center of an empire. And all out. Lila: What now? Master: Now? My dear Lila. Now we can do anything you want. Pick your own projects. Name your own salary. All I ask in return, is that you belong to me. Deal? Lila: Whatever you say. Master: So, tell me. What wish can the reclusive head of Drake Interplanetary grant you first? 说来听听吧 现在德雷克行星公司这位避世不出的的首脑该先赐给你些什么呢？ Lila: Don't get too comfortable in that chair. There's still one snag in this masquerade of your planning. Master: Oh, pray, enlighten me. Lila: Catherine Travers. Head of special weapons division. She's blackmailing me over yellow brick, and my deadline ran out two hours ago. Master: Is that your first wish? Lila: She's in our way. That's all I'm saying. Master: Your plausibly denial of suggestion is my command. Do the honors. 既然你不需要我的建议，还想说服我，那我就当这是你的命令了。我会好好表现的。 Lila: Mr. Drake's just on a call. He'd like to see Catherine Travers in his office immediately. 接待员：Yes, ma'am. She's already waiting. Master: Well, well, speak at the devil. Lila: Good. Send her up. Master: You know something, Lila. I think this may be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Lila: Let's not get ahead of ourselves. How does a limited partnership sound for now? Master: Lila, my dear, it sounds heavenly. Well, would you prefer to step outside while I take care of this? Lila: No. I already know how this part goes. I'll stay and watch. Master: In that case, who am I to argue with destiny? Catherine, my dear, do come in. I have heard so much about you. Catherine Who? Who are you? Where's Drake? Lila: As her eyes widened, and he walks towards her with those serpent's eyes and cruel smile. The moment is clear, vivid, as if it were happening right now, which of course, it is.
