MONK: I want to improve things.

DOCTOR: Improve things? Improve things, yes, that's good. Very good. Improve what, for instance?

MONK: Well, for instance, Harold, King Harold, I know he'd be a good king. There wouldn't be all those wars in Europe, those claims over France went on for years and years. With peace the people'd be able to better themselves. With a few hints and tips from me they'd be able to have jet airliners by 1320! Shakespeare'd be able to put Hamlet on television.

DOCTOR: He'd do what?

MONK: The play Hamlet on television.

DOCTOR: Oh, yes, quite so, yes, of course, I do know the medium.
