You Cannot Speak as Though ‘Reality’ were a One-Dimensional Concept

 



The Matrix
 
The Woman : 
Oh, great….
What are YOU doing here? 
Or are you The Matrix 
playing more games with me? 
 
The Valeyard : 
Don't ask me, I'm as lost as you are in here — 
Maybe you just summoned me. 
 
The Woman :
Where do YOU fit into all this?
Were you ME all that time ago?
 
Were all my memories of you erased?
Did they force me back into 
becoming A Child?
 
How many more of me are out there? 
 
The Valeyard :
I don't have those answers.
But say I did, would they even HELP? 
 
The Woman :
Of course they would.
All this, it means
I'm NOT Who 
I Thought I Was. 
 
The Valeyard :
….because Your Memories aren't compatible
with what you learnt today?
 
The Woman :
Yes

The Valeyard :
Have you ever been limited by 
WHO You Were BEFORE..? 
 
The Woman : 
…..Ah — Now, that DOES 
sound like Me Talking. 

The Woman : 
….I'm so tired. 
The Matrix is sapping all the energy 
of out of Me. 
 
The Valeyard :
No TIME to be Tired.  
Still work to do out there. 
 
LIVES at stake.
ARMIES being born. 
 
People NEED 
The Doctor. 
 
The Woman :
I don't know how to 
stop The Master. 
 
The Valeyard :
Course you do.
That one Question 
that's nagging at you,
the one thing he said that 
you didn't understand. 
 
The Woman :
The one thing who said?
The Master? 
 
The Valeyard :
No. Get out of here.
I know This Place has blown Your Mind --
Maybe you should 
return the compliment. 
 
The Valeyard vanishes.
 
The Woman :
No, wait. Are you 
still there?
 
Of course she's still there.
 
If You were Me,
You're buried within Me, 
buried within...
 
Too Many Thoughts.
All right, First Things first,
What Did She Say?
 
'Mind Blown'. Yes! Of course!
All this History, 
all these lies,
it's too much stimulus.
 
It might work. I've fought The Matrix before,
Denied its RealityI can do it again. Maybe.
 
Well, you know What They Say, Doctor,
nothing ventured, nothing blown.
 
Oh! I'm talking to myself again.
That's a good sign.
 
Thanks, Doctor.
Still Here.
 
No, shut up, I need 
to concentrate.
Er... All right.
 
Have a blast 
of THIS, Matrix. 
 
Massive sequence of images going backwards through all the established Doctors
and then a bit more.

The paralysis field explodes.

YASMIN:
Doctor! 
 
GRAHAM:
Yaz, is she all right? 
 
RYAN:
Doctor?
Doctor, we're here for you. 
 
The Woman :
My Fam. 
 
KO SHAMUS:
She's not dead, then.
