[reading a thick book] It would seem that reading this capsule manual has hardly done the sort of good I was hoping it would. These old models are so very out of date. I can see why they were decommissioned. The upkeep alone requires such horridly rare materials that it would be far too much of a hassle to own one.

Normally I would agree but in this case one would suspect that it should have simply fallen to pieces by now. Therefore there must be something special about this particular situation.

I thought if I am to be his assistant and share this TARDIS with him, I should know the inner workings properly. But it's dreadfully dull, especially in comparison to the newer models.

I don't believe I've met you before. Are you an acquaintance of the Doctor's?

[brigadiertardis]

[testily] Your opinion is hardly warranted.

[studentoftime]

Fascinating! Are you the projection of the consciousness inhabiting this capsule?

[brigadiertardis]

I am. And I am not a 'capsule.' I am the TARDIS and I'd rather like it if you stopped touching me.

[studentoftime]

Very well then, TARDIS. Though you are a time capsule and an outdated one at that. The Doctor allows me to touch you.

[lotsofrunning]

What is it for?

[studentoftime]

Oh, this manual? It's a technical manual for operating and maintaining a Type 40 TARDIS.

[lotsofrunning]

You have a TARDIS?

[studentoftime]

Oh, no, this isn't mine. I certainly wouldn't want such an old and temperamental one. There are much nicer models out now.
