no matter how far my tardis goes, i always seem to find myself in this wretched part of the universe once again. how irksome.

i *said*, let's move on.

IT'S A MATCH!

yet little does the doctor know that she's right where the master wants her . . .

why, *of course* i was listening to all those . . . interesting things which you just said. stop asking me about it. let's move on.

with spears and swords of gleaming red,
their shadows extended, stretched
to bathe them in darkness . . .

( a wicked, wicked laugh. )

you have to submit to me. it's my birthday.

the master takes it and sips it. 'bleugh! this is *black*! are you *trying* to poison me?!' throwing it to the ground.

'do better. try again.'

for me? how kind.

dress? you ARE a slug.

( a polite laugh. ) yes, i can see why he chose you. you like to project, don't you?

don't flatter yourself, darling. you're a five in good light.

is this your attempt to ask me to accompany you somewhere this evening?

oh, very well. i suppose i must. it *is* your birthday.

i see.

only because it's the truth.

not at all, doctor. as a matter of fact, i'm positively over you.

fancy seeing *you* here.

you're attempting to frustrate me, aren't you? how very . . . irksome.

all of them. permanently.

i don't like that face you're pulling. undo it.

it's not a *terrible* idea . . .

turning several hundred pages so that he loses his place when he wakes up.

foreplay can be so tiring.

yes, dance, doctor... dance for me... yes! yes!!!

oh my dear doctor, you've fallen into my trap!

now you're trapped in a 2 second video... forever!!!

my universe doesn't revolve around you, my dear. i have other interests. how nice to hear that you think often about me, though!

( suddenly looking up. ) hm? oh, you're still here?

oh, alright. if you're going to pester me i *suppose* i *have* to destroy you.

mmmm. quite possibly. this is the problem with old age. i've seen and done it *all*. summon primordial dæmons? hide at the end of the universe? push you off a tall building and watch you splat? oh, been there, done that, bought the fridge magnet. there's hardly *anything* new going on. how irksome.

you'll have to work a lot harder than that to impress me.
