Lines by The Monk 1

MThe Monk

[Reading a letter from the Doctor] "My dear fellow, I'm sure will you excuse me but I didn't want to say goodbye, as you are obviously going to be very busy for some time." He's right there. "Just in case you still idea's about your master plan, I've taken precautions to stop your time meddling." How could he stop a Mark 4? "Possibly one day in the future, when you've learnt your lesson, I shall return and release you." Release me? Ha! Me? Oh, the old fool. I wonder what he meant by release me? Well, I'll be going.

[But he can't get in. His TARDIS is the same size as the Altar. It's no longer bigger on the inside than the outside]

MThe Monk

[Horrified] Ah! Ah! What's he done? He's taken my dimensional control! He's ruined my time machine! I'm, I'm marooned. Marooned! In 1066. Oh, Doctor. Doctor! Doctor!

Scenes with The Monk 7

So that's it! You're a time meddler! No wonder you wanted to get rid of me. And what are you trying to get up to this time?

MThe Monk

I'm sure you'll approve, Doctor.

Are you quite mad? You know as well as I do the golden rule about space and time travelling. Never, never interfere with the course of history.

MThe Monk

You know, I rather like the idea of being an outlaw legend! I'm sure a few grand tales about me wouldn't do any harm?

Interfering with history will always be harmful, you conceited ninny!

MThe Monk

Why must you always be so self-righteous? And a hypocrite, to boot! I know what you did in Troy!

How dare you. That was different. That was to save lives!

MThe Monk

Your own life!

MThe Monk

My dear Dodo, you've heard the story about the Greeks hiding in a giant horse so they could get into the city and sack it?

Yes...

MThe Monk

That was the Doctor's idea! He told them to do that!

[gasps] Doctor!

Entirely. Different. Circumstances!

DSThe Doctor's Simulation

Funny. I don't believe much. I'm not sure I believe anything. But right now, belief is all I am. "Virtue is only virtue in extremis"... I take it that your intention is to invade the Earth?

MMonk

The simulations have been run. Earth will be ours.

DSThe Doctor's Simulation

Well, consider this... a warning, on the eve of war. I am the Doctor! I am what stands between you and them!

MMonk

You are not the Doctor. You are not real.

DSThe Doctor's Simulation

You don't have to be real to be the Doctor, as long as you never give up! Long... as you always trick the bad guys into their own traps! And here's the trap you fell into -- your simulation is far too good!

[He picks up the Sonic Suglasses and presents them to the Monk.]

DSThe Doctor's Simulation

D'you see these? They're set to record. I'm blind, you see. So I'm psychically wired into these, so my memory print of the last few hours will still be intact on here! Information about you.

MMonk

You are not real. There is nothing you can do.

DSThe Doctor's Simulation

There's always one thing you can do from inside a computer! Even if you're a jumped up little subroutine, you can do it! You can always... e-mail!

[He pushes them up to his face -- a display on the real Doctor's sunglasses shows that a memory file is uploading.]

MMonk

What are you doing?!

DSThe Doctor's Simulation

I'm doing what everybody does when the world is in danger -- I'm calling the Doctor! Pressing "send"!
