The Doctor shrugged. "This Servalan seems a competent woman. I'm more surprised that you didn't try to shoot her." He gave Avon a disapproving look.
"I did," Avon said. "She ducked."
"Astonishing how few people have the sense to duck."
"Mm."
"Astonishing, in fact, how few people have any sense," the Doctor said. "I imagine that there are few minds out there who can truly challenge you -- or even appreciate you in a way that makes the appreciation worthwhile."
"You almost sound as if you understand."
"Almost."
