        So do I. You've forgotten the two most important archetypal
        lines, though.

        1) Doctor's companion - "Look out, behind you, Doctor!"
           (Rubber monster, Mechanoid, Dalek, etc. lumbers into view)

        2) The Doctor - "If I reverse the polarity and give it all we've got,
            it might just work..." (Last ditch Finagle gadget blasts
            rubber monster, mechanoid, Dalek, etc. into its component quarks)
