The Doctor: Yep, that’s me.

Yes, I do. 

Yep, and this.

Are you gonna read out the whole thing?

I’m a time traveler. Or I was. I’m stuck in 1969.

Martha Jones: We’re stuck! All of space and time he promised me, now I’ve got a job in a shop, I’ve got to support him! 

The Doctor: Martha! 

Martha Jones: Sorry. 

The Doctor: Quite possibly.

‘fraid so.

Thirty-eight!

People don’t understand time. It’s not what you think it is.

Complicated. 

Very complicated.

People assume that time is a straight progression of cause to effect but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it’s more like a ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey… stuff.

It got away from me, yeah.

Well, I can hear you. 

Well, not hear you exactly, but I know everything you’re gonna say.

Look to your left.

I’ve got a copy of the finished transcript; it’s on my autocue.

I told you, I’m a time traveler! I got it in the future. 

Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey…

What matters is we can communicate, we’ve got big problems now. They have taken the blue box haven’t they? The angels have the phone box.

Creatures from another world.

Only when you see them.

“The 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 are 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 cant kill you either but then you turn your head away, then you blink and, oh yes, it can. 

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’m very, very sorry it’s up to you now.

The blue box, it’s my time machine. There’s a world of time energy in there. They could feast on forever, but the damage they could do could switch off the sun. You have got to send it back to me. 

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 can believe. Don’t turn your back, don’t look away, and don’t blink. Good luck.
