I'm sorry, sir. The Angels were very keen for you to know that.
DThe Doctor
Well then... the Angels have made their second mistake, because I'm not going to let that pass. I'm sorry you're dead, Bob, but I swear to whatever is left of you, they will be sorrier.
Sorry, can I ask again? You mentioned a "mistake" we made?
DThe Doctor
Oh, big, big mistake, really huge. Didn't anyone ever tell you? There's one thing you never put in a trap. If you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one thing you never, ever put in a trap.
We'll all plunge to our deaths. See? I've thought about it! [examines the door] Ah, the security protocols are still live. There's no way to override them; it's impossible!
[strained] Father Octavian, when the Doctor's in the room, your one and only 'mission' is to keep him alive long enough to get everyone else home! And trust me, it's not easy! Now if he's dead back there, I'll never forgive myself. And if he's alive, I'll never forgive him. [Pause] And Doctor, you're standing right behind me, aren't you?
[Looks at the mirror and then at the girls, realizing that they cast no reflection]
DThe Doctor
How are you doing that? I am loving it! You're like Houdini, only five slightly scary girls. And he was shorter... will be shorter. I'm rambling.
CGCalvierri Girls (all)
I'll ask you again, signore: who are you?
DThe Doctor
Why don't you check this out? [Shows them a card with a picture of the First Doctor; long pause as the girls look confused; he looks at the card and remembers that he has left the psychic paper with Rory] Library card, of course! It's with... he's... [gestures in front of his face to imitate Rory's long nose] ...I need a spare. Pale, creepy girls who don't like sunlight... and can't be seen... ah, am I thinking what I think I'm thinking? But the city, why shut down the city?
CGCalvierri Girls
Leave now, signore, or we shall call for the steward. [smile darkly] If you're lucky.
DThe Doctor
[camp] Ooh! [They bare long fangs and approach the Doctor; he goes to the stairs, then spins around toward them] Tell me the whole plan! [The girls hiss] One day that'll work. [He backs away] Listen, I would love to stay here. This whole thing... I'm thrilled! Oh, this is Christmas!
[As the Doctor is about to enter the TARDIS, everything falls silent; there is no sound from anything. Looks back, and is stunned to see every living thing in the Venetian marketplace has mysteriously disappeared].
Oh, this is bad! I don't like this! [kicks console and yells in pain] NEVER use force, you'll just embarrass yourself. Unless you're cross, in which case... always use force!
Friends? Is that the right word for the people you acquire? Friends are people you stay in touch with. Your friends never see you again once they've grown up. The old man prefers the company of the young, does he not?
