Oh. Fair enough.
Yes, like mad. Which I know is not his fault, but it doesn't stop it being dangerous.
I suppose he was probably referring to the year that never happened. Didn't I just say we had to have some serious talk? I was going to tell you, Rose, but we have so much backstory, I've known him all my life, it's not exactly something I was going to bring up randomly over tea. I don't keep things from you, I just have a lot more history than you. You're always welcome to ask about something, but if I told you ever that ever happened and everyone I'd ever known we'd be talking for at least a century. I'm sorry, I say them when they're important. He wasn't important, but he is now. Very, very important.
Don't say it like that. I would rather you be in a parallel universe and safe than in a universe that contains the Master. He is my problem, and I just don't want you to end up dead because of my problems. And I know him, he wouldn't just kill you, Rose, he'd hurt you in as many ways as he knew how until you begged him to kill you just to make it stop. And I'm not just trying to scare you, this is the sort of man he is. And I'm slowly starting to realise always will be, no matter how much I want to help him.
