Monologue

“The worst thing about being the Doctor isn’t when the decisions are hard, it’s when the decisions are easy.

“An easy decision, I absolutely need to walk away, can hurt. I have to do a bad thing… it can destroy me. I have to do a good thing… oh sometimes that can be the worst one. Because sometimes the good thing is impossible. But it still needs to be done because it’s the right thing.

“And sometimes the easy decision is to do the right thing knowing I am going to fail.

“You can break your heart trying to save the universe. It’s so easy, all it takes is one person.

“Give me a hard decision any day. Those I can wrestle with. I’ll find an out, an angle. A way to deal or cheat or pull out a miracle by tacklign the problem any way but head-on.

“But the easy decisions, on a bad day… those can be the worst.”
