Fifth-doctor Quote by Eddie Robson
““Doctor: Nyssa, we can't get you out of there just yet. I'm sorry. Nyssa: I know. Doctor: The TARDIS has gone missing. I'm sorry, I have to concentrate- Nyssa: I know, Doctor. You don't have to keep saying you're sorry. Doctor: We'll come for you. When all of this is over we'll follow the comet and get you back. Nyssa: You once said much the same thing to somebody else.””
