‘So, what you are saying is that you're smarter than those... other, stupider geniuses?!?’

‘Genii.’

‘What?’

‘Genii, John. The plural of genius is genii.’

‘You're purposely avoiding my question.’

‘More stupid.’

‘I give up.’

‘There is no such word as 'stupider'.’

[Doctor puts on coat.]

‘I'm going to Sarah's.’
