[repeated line]
Other Dave : We should go. Doctor!
-
The Doctor : The Vashta Nerada live on all the worlds in this system, but you hunt in forests. What are you doing in a library?
Other Dave : We should go. Doctor!
The Doctor : In a minute. You came to a library to hunt, why? Just tell me why.
Proper Dave : We... did not.
The Doctor : Oh, hello.
Proper Dave : We did not.
The Doctor : Take it easy, you'll get the hang of it. "Did not" what?
Proper Dave : We... did not... come... here.
The Doctor : Well, of course you did, of course you came here.
Proper Dave : We come *from* here.
The Doctor : "From here"?
Proper Dave : We hatched here.
The Doctor : But you hatch from trees, from spores in trees.
Proper Dave : These are our forests.
The Doctor : You're nowhere near a forest, look around you.
Proper Dave : [insistent] These are our forests.
The Doctor : You're not in a forest, you're in a library. There are no trees in a... library.
Other Dave : We should go. Doctor!
The Doctor : [realizing] Books. You came in the books. Microspores in a million, million books.
Other Dave : We should go. Doctor!
The Doctor : [looks out to the endless city of bookshelves] Oh, look at that. The forests of the Vashta Nerada, pulped and printed and bound. A million million books, hatching shadows.
Other Dave : We should go. Doctor!
The Doctor : [noticing the repetition, the Doctor turns to find that Other Dave has also been consumed: another skeleton inside a suit, neural relay blinking] Oh... Dave! Oh, Dave, I'm so sorry.
Proper Dave : [advancing from one side] Hey! Who turned out the lights?
Other Dave : [advancing from the other side] We should go. Doctor!

Other Dave : Who is he? You haven't even told us. You just expect us to trust him.
River Song : He's the Doctor.
Strackman Lux : And who is the Doctor?
River Song : The only story you'll ever tell, if you survive him.
Anita : You say he's your friend, but he doesn't even know who you are.
River Song : Listen, all you need to know is this: I'd trust that man to the end of the universe. And, actually, we've been.
Anita : He doesn't act like he trusts you.
River Song : Yeah, there's a tiny problem. He hasn't met me yet.
