Larry: And there he is.
Sally: The Doctor.
Larry: Who's the Doctor?
Sally: He's the Doctor.
The Doctor: Yep that's me.
Sally: OK that was scary.
Larry: No it sounds like he's replying but he always says that.
The Doctor: Yes I do.
Larry: And that.
The Doctor: Yup. And this.
Sally: He can hear us. Oh my god you can really hear us!
Larry: Of course he can't hear us. Look.
(reading off his notes) Yup, that's me. Yes I do. Yup. And this.
Dr & Larry: (together) Are you gonna read out the whole thing?
Larry: Sorry.
Sally: Who are you?
The Doctor: I'm a time traveler. Or I was. I'm stuck. In 1969.
Martha: We're stuck. All of space and time he promised me, now I've got a job in a shop. I've gotta support him!
The Doctor: Martha?
Martha: Sorry. (exits camera view)
Sally: I've seen this bit before.
The Doctor: Quite possibly.
Sally: 1969, what's where you're talking from?
The Doctor: 'fraid so.
Sally: But you're replying to me. You can't know exactly what I'm gonna say 40 years before I say it.
The Doctor: 38.
Larry: I'm getting this down! I'm writing in your bits.
Sally: How? How? How is this possible? Tell me!
Larry: Not so fast!
The Doctor: People don't understand time, it's not what you think it is.
Sally: Then what is it?
The Doctor: Complicated.
Sally: Tell me.
The Doctor: Very complicated.
Sally: I'm clever and I'm listening. And don't patronize me because people have died and I'm not happy. Tell me.
The Doctor: People assume that time is a straight progression of cause to effect but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's actually more like a big ball of wibbley-wobbley, timey-wimey stuff.
Sally: Yeah I've seen this bit before. You said that sentence got away from you.
The Doctor: It got away from me, yeah ...
Sally: Next thing you're gonna say is well I can hear you.
The Doctor: Well I can hear you.
Sally: This isn't possible.
Larry: No, it's brilliant!
The Doctor: Well not hear you exactly, but I know everything you're gonna say.
Larry: Always give me the shivers, that bit.
Sally: How can you know what I'm gonna say?
The Doctor: Look to your left.
Larry: What does he mean by 'look to your left?' I've written tons about that on the forums. I think it's a political statement.
Sally: He means you. What you doing?
Larry: I'm writing in your bits, that way I've got a complete transcript of the whole conversation. What until this hits the net, this will explode the egg forums!
The Doctor: I've got a copy of the finished transcript, it's on my auto-cue.
Sally: How can you have a copy of the finished transcript, it's still being written?
The Doctor: I told you I'm a time traveler, I got it in the future.
Sally: OK let me get my head around this. You're reading aloud from the transcript of a conversation you're still having?
The Doctor: Ahhh...wibbley-wobbley, timey-wimey...
Sally: Ah, never mind that.
(to Larry)You can do shorthand?
Larry: So...
The Doctor: What matters is we can communicate. We have got big problems now. They have taken the blue box, haven't they? The angels have the phonebox.
Larry: "The angels have the phonebox", that's my favorite, I've got that on a T-shirt.
Sally: What do you mean angels? You mean those statue things?
The Doctor: Creatures from another world.
Sally: But they're just statues.
The Doctor: Only when you see them.
Sally: What does that mean?
The Doctor: Lonely Assassins they used to be called. No one quite knows where they came from but they're as old as the Universe, or very nearly, and they have survived this long because they have the most perfect defense system ever evolved. They're quantum-locked. They don't exist when they're being observed. The moment they are seen by any other living creature they freeze into rock, no choice, it's a fact of their biology, in the sight of any living thing they literally turn to stone. And you can't kill a stone. 'Course a stone can't kill you either but then you turn your head away, then you blink, and oh yes it can.
Sally: (to Larry, referring to the statue) Don't take your eyes off that.
The Doctor: That's why they cover their eyes. They're not weeping, they can't risk looking at each other. Their greatest asset is their greatest curse. They can never be seen. Loneliest creatures in the Universe. And I'm sorry. I am very, very sorry. It's up to you now.
Sally: What am I supposed to do?
The Doctor: The blue box, it's my time machine. There is a world of time energy in there that they could feast on forever, but the damage they would do could switch off the sun. You have got to send it back to me.
Sally: How? ... How?!
The Doctor: And that's it, I'm afraid, there's no more from you on the transcript, that's the last I've got. I don't know what stopped you talking but I can guess. They're coming. The angels are coming for you but listen. Your life could depend on this. Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe. Don't turn your back! Don't look away! And don't blink! Good luck.
