"So, these guys called 'Time Lords' popped by our planet one day. And we asked them for some of their nifty gadgets. And we used them to destroy our planet." "And this tells you?" "It's the Time Lords' fault! They are fully responsible! All they had to do was let us kill them and we wouldn't have gotten that technology that killed ourselves!" "How modern of you? So what exactly do you plan to do?" "Force a Time Lord to help us search for the race bank that can recreate our species. That tall one in the floppy hat with the scarf seems like a good candidate. After all, it's the fault of his ancestors that they selfishly chose to live." "So, not only do you blame the Time Lords, but you're going to play a guilt trip on someone who wasn't even alive back then?" "You make it sound like he isn't responsible for our pain and suffering, our continual regenerating, our never-ending life." "Well, you could just refuse to regenerate and shuffle off this mortal coil." "Species-ist! Species-ist! I'm going to sue your entire race, any other races on your planet, and any spin-off branches that may have gone to other parts of the galaxy!" "Are you sure Minyan is the best name for your race? Maybe Minion would be more appropriate. Sheesh."
