Picture a burning building (the TARDIS, perhaps?).
Picture three intrepid folks forming a bucket brigade and tipping one bucket of water after another on the flames. Slowly the flames are going out - but there's still a lot of damage being done.
Someone comes along with a fire engine and says "Excuse me, would you like to use my fire engine?".
"We don't have time! We're busy" they all shout.
"No really, it's a very nice fire engine, I'll let you use it for free, heck I'll even man the hose myself" the guy asks again.
They grumble at him and try and ignore him. But, true, the guy with the fire engine is a bit stubborn so he says "Perhaps you don't understand that a fire engine can be very useful for problems like this?"
Now, this time, instead of the three folks who are putting out the fire one bucket at a time a couple of real smart folks walking down the street wonder over and start accosting the guy with the fire engine "Look are you fookin stoopid or summit? They told you they're too busy trying to put out this fire"
Then, one of the guys who is putting out the fire wanders over and says "All of you just shut up I don't want to talk about this fire problem anymore. I answered all your questions when I said "we're too busy". I'm chief fire marshall in this town and if I don't want to use a fire engine I don't have to. Now, if you'll excuse me I have another bucket of water to hurl".
Happy roasting (this is meant in jest).
