Summary
Dottore taps the delicate curl of his scroll with a childish pout—and Pantalone wonders when he’ll lose that expression, because he doesn’t recall ever seeing it on the Dottore he knows, centuries in the future, when he’s lost Zandik and made Dottore—and pulls his reading glasses off his nose gingerly. “Do I know you?” he asks in an accusing tone, like he does know Pantalone but does not think Pantalone knows him.
“You do,” Pantalone decides to admit in a rare moment of honesty.
“Where have we met?”
Pantalone wants to know where Dottore's problems all started. He finds the answer in himself.
