Not at all bitter. Really.

None of you will remember them; the CIA erased them from the timestream, and it's only by chance that I accidentally recovered my own memories of our life together.

What, you can mess up someone's planet and I can't blow up the 20th century?

I mean, you got to blow up Gallifrey, and that's much bigger than the 20th century
