Every Village Needs a Shaman





Are You a Wise Fool, Jon Snow, 
or a Clever Fool..?

Yeah, you ignored The Comet, didn't you?
I won't say "I Told You So" - What would be The Point?
Being Right Means Never Having to Say "I Told You So".
That's Prideful Arrogance.


MISS HAWTHORNE [on TV]: 
I know perfectly well you're on the air. That's why I'm here. 

Get Your Hands off Me, Young Man! Let Me Go!

 I've come here to protest, and protest I shall

FERGUS
Now this is Miss Hawthorne, 
a prominent local resident who's 
very much opposed to Professor Horner's dig. 
Professor Horner, I believe you two have already met? 

LITTLE JACK HORNER: 
I'll say. The daft woman's 
been pestering me for weeks. 

MISS HAWTHORNE
I've been trying to make you see reason

FERGUS
Miss Hawthorne, why are you 
so opposed to this dig? 

HAWTHORNE
Because This Man is tampering with 
forces he does not understand.

LITTLE JACK HORNER
Oh, come on now. 

HAWTHORNE
You'll bring Destruction on yourself and upon 
the whole area if you persist --
Death and Disaster await You. 

Believe Me, I know. 

FERGUS
But that's just it -- Why should we believe you 
and how do you know? 

HAWTHORNE
I'm a Witch. 

HORNER
You see? I told you she was daft. 

FERGUS
Miss Hawthorne, you don't really mean to say...
[Yes, she does. LISTEN to her...] 

HAWTHORNE
I Tell You I'm a Witch

White, of course, but that is why 
You should Listen to Me. 

I know

FERGUS
Well, thank you very much, Miss Hawthorne, 
for a most interesting -- 

HAWTHORNE

I've cast The Runes -- 

I've consulted the talisman of Mercury --

It's written in The Stars

April 19th 2017 - A Third Pillar of Hercules Appears in The Sky
The Middle Path.

When Beltane is come, tread softly, 
for lo, the prince himself is nigh.



LEELA: 
There's no point in further discussion. -- 
Discussion is for The Wise, or The Helpless
and I am neither!

RODAN: 
Then what are you going to do? 

LEELA
Well, if the Doctor wished me banished, I'll be banished. 

RODAN: 
You will surrender? 


LEELA: 
No! You talk always of Surrender! 
Are all Your Tribe like this!? 

RODAN: 
We are rational

LEELA: 
You are Cowards

No, if The Doctor wished me banished
it was for a reason. 


RODAN: 
Reason dictates The Doctor is a Traitor. 

LEELA: 
Never! 

RODAN: 
Reason dictates

LEELA: 
Then Reason is a liar

RODAN: 
And if I am right? 

LEELA: 
Then I am Wrongand 
I Will face The Consequence -- 

Are You coming? 

(Rodan nods and takes Leela's outstretched hand.)
