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?
The simulations have been run. Earth will be ours.
Well, consider this... a warning, on the eve of war. I am the Doctor! I am what stands between you and them!
You are not the Doctor. You are not real.
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.]
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.
You are not real. There is nothing you can do.
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.]
What are you doing?!
I'm doing what everybody does when the world is in danger -- I'm calling the Doctor! Pressing "send"!
