The Dalek just watches, silently processing the words, and storing them without any deep thought over them. It has no reason to listen - the Doctor is the enemy of the Daleks, and the Dalek knows that he is worthless except as a target. He will be exterminated.
The Dalek knows it is only a matter of time until the others are here, because if the Doctor heard it's distress call, the Daleks must have.
And then, one piece of information passes by that the Dalek does pay attention to. The Daleks are all gone. Destroyed by the Time War.
"You lie!"
But the Dalek knows he didn't. Slowly, the story unfolds. The Daleks and the Time Lords - wiped out in the same battle. Only the coward survived. The last Time Lord and the ... last Dalek.
"I am alone," It's voice reflects all the dejectedness it's feeling. If there are no Daleks, no orders, then it has no purpose. The Doctor still has a purpose. The Dalek hates him for that. "So are you."

It pauses, just for a beat.
"We are the same."
