PANNA:
A Man!
KARUNA:
He was with her.
PANNA:
Impossible.
Was he present when you opened The Box?
DOCTOR:
Yes. Most enlightening.
PANNA:
What's he babbling about?
No male can open
The Box of Jhana
without being
driven out of his mind.
It is well known.
Unless —
Is he an idiot?
KARUNA:
ARE you an idiot?
DOCTOR:
….well, I suppose I must be….
I have been CALLED one many —
PANNA:
Keep silent, idiot.
DOCTOR:
Yes.
(Panna leads them into her cave.)
PANNA:
It is all beginning again.
DOCTOR:
What is?
PANNA:
What is? What is?
HISTORY is, you male fool.
History is. TIME is.
The Great Wheel will begin to roll down the hill
gathering speed through the centuries,
crushing everything in its path.
Unstoppable until once again —
TODD:
Until?
PANNA:
I must show you.
That is why you have been brought here.
Then perhaps when you understand,
you will go away and leave us in peace.
If it is not already too late.
DOCTOR:
You said “once again”.
PANNA:
Of course —
Wheel turns,
civilisations ARISE,
Wheel turns,
civilisations FALL.
DOCTOR:
And I suppose this happens many times.
PANNA:
Of course.
Whenever The Wheel turns,
There is Suffering, Delusion and Death.
That much should be clear,
even to an idiot.
Now stop babbling and get ready.
