DOCTOR: Oh, goody. Just who are you?
BALAZAR: I am Balazar, the reader of the books.
DOCTOR: Oh. And what books are those?
BALAZAR: Ancient books, from the world before the fire. They contain much wisdom for those who can interpret their meaning. Here in Marb, we have three.
DOCTOR: Three? Splendid. What are they called?
BALAZAR: The Books of Knowledge.
DOCTOR: No, but each book must have a name, Balazar. It's usually written on the front.
BALAZAR: One of our books is called Mo By Dick by Herman Melville. It tells of a great white water god, and contains many mystical passages.
DOCTOR: Yes, I've read it. What are the other books?
BALAZAR: How can you have read it, Old One? The sacred books belong to Marb.
DOCTOR: Will you stop calling me Old One? I am known as the Doctor. What else do you read?
BALAZAR: The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley, which tells of life long before the fire.
DOCTOR: Sounds a rum sort of library to me. What's your third book?
BALAZAR: Most mysterious of all the sacred texts. UK Habitats of the Canadian Goose by HM Stationery Office.
DOCTOR: Hmm. What do you call this place?
BALAZAR: Marb Station.
DOCTOR: No, I mean your whole world, everything.
BALAZAR: We call it UK Habitat.
— The Mysterious Planet
