The Doctor Denounces The Time Lords | The Trial of a Time Lord | Doctor Who
6. "Abandon Ideology."
6. "Put Your Own House in Order Before Criticising The World."
As I Wandered through
The Weird and Lurid Landscape
of Another Planet...
PERI :
Did you have to be so rude?
Mister Six :
.....To whom..?
PERI:
Hugo. You could at least have said goodbye.
Are you having
Another of Your Fits?
Mister Six :
(Half-Sigh)
You may not believe this,
but I have fully stabilised.
PERI :
Then I suggest you take a crash-course in manners!
Mister Six :
You seem to forget, Peri --
I'm not only from Another Culture but Another Planet.
I am, in your terms, An Alien --
I am therefore bound to have
Different Values and Customs.
PERI:
Your former self was polite enough.
Mister Six :
Yes, but at such a cost, I was on the verge of becoming neurotic.
PERI:
Well, we all have to repress Our Feelings from time to time --
I suggest you get back into the habit.
Mister Six :
And I would suggest, Peri,
That you wait a little before criticising My New Persona --
You may well find it isn't quite as disagreeable as you think...
PERI :
Well, I Hope So.
He heads for The Door --
Mister Six :
Whatever Else Happens --
He Turns --
I am The Doctor --
Whether you like it, or not.
In all My Travellings throughout The Universe
I have BATTLED Against Evil...
Against POWER-Mad Conspirators --
I should have stayed HERE!
The Oldest Civilisation --
DECADENT, DEGENERATE
and Rotten to The Core --
Ha! Power-Mad Conspirators,
Daleks, Sontarans... CYBERMEN!
They're still in The NURSERY, compared to Us.
TEN Million Years of ABSOLUTE Power,
THAT'S What it Takes to be really CORRUPT...!
