[ There's a good while of silence, aside from the rustle of a paper, like a page being turned. ]

Oh, yes, right! Hello! How do I do one of these voicemails things again?

[ Another bit of silence, and then he clears his throat. ]

You've reached the Doctor - the eleventh, to be exact. Leave a message and I'll get back to you, promise!

And right there is an example of what I just said. I'm telling you that I really don't think it's always been like that, and it's only because people grow up believing that's the way it has to be that it still is that way. I'm sorry to hear it, but eventually people are going to get tired of it, and that's when it'll change. That's when it'll get better.

And something else. This isn't your world, and not everyone's going to put up with what you think is right only because you grew up with it. It's not kill or be killed here, even if we're at war. Haven't you noticed? I suggest you adapt. A bit of caution's never hurt anyone, but too much of it certainly has.

It'll be made better. 'Cause some of us are already tired of it, and we're not gonna sit back and wait for peace anymore. Diplomacy's failed, whether they get it yet or not.

[He shakes his head, laughing humourlessly.]

It's not like we're that different. You need people to earn your respect - I need them to earn my trust. And Oswin has, so this whole thing is still a huge waste of air.

[ He closes his eyes. ]

You're in for a messy ride, then.

And it's not all about Oswin. She's not the only person here and believe it or not, I care for everyone. Just watch your step.

I answer to one person here, and you're not him. So I won't be taking your orders.

I will be around to call you on your shit when you fail this badly again, though.

It's not an order, it's a piece of advice. I don't need you to call me on anything, I think it's quite obvious that I have my friends to do that for me.

And I don't need your advice. So we're done here.

[He hangs up, not really feeling all that satisfied. Well, at least he spoke his piece.]
