Thought about posting this to sixwordstories, decided not to.

I'm brilliant.

That's really all, actually.

I have not.

Right, look. There's this bloke in 1973 who's the spitting image of you. Only he's human, with some crazy story about just waking up suddenly in 1973 and having no idea how he got there.

I'm not convinced the Doctor didn't--or won't--put you through the chameleon arch and then drop you off in 1973. All I'm saying is, be careful.

I met him, too. It's not him, Rani. The only similarity is the appearance. I thought he might've been trying to trick me, or hide away. Invoke pity of some sort. No, no, the man's too different. Even Yana held similarities to who the Master was underneath it all.

Yes, well, you'd hardly tell me if you'd done it, right? No offence. I'll believe it when I can prove it for myself.

Explain to me the purpose in putting the Master in that situation? It couldn't be to make him love humanity---he spent decades as a human and it didn't change him. The only thing it would make him is more vunerable. I'm not about to have him die now.

Besides, how would you prove it? Chameleon arch is 100% perfect. Only thing left is straggling memories. I know, I've done it before.

To control him. To know where he is, and that he's not going to take over the world again, without the encumberance of having to keep him with you. Which I've never understood you doing.

Nothing's one hundred percent perfect.

Who'd you do it to last time, then?

I'm not going to take him on as a responsibility and then drop him, Rani. That's not the sort of man I am.

Myself. It was...it's really a long story.

And we're back to neither of us knowing what sort of person the other is anymore.

Yourself? You've been through the process? Then you... we must talk. I have questions. It isn't as if we won't have time in Washington. For your long story.
