NyssaYou killed my father.
But his body remains useful.
[The Fourth Doctor's last words.]
It's the end... but the moment has been prepared for... [points to a ghostly figure that walks forward]
The Watcher!
[The Watcher merges with the Doctor]
NyssaHe was the Doctor all the time.
[The Fourth Doctor turns into the Watcher, then gains youthful features and short straight hair. The Fifth Doctor sits up]
So what is a railway station?
Well, a place where one embarks and disembarks from compartments on wheels drawn along these tracks by a steam engine; rarely on time.
NyssaWhat a very silly activity.
D'You think so? As a boy, I always wanted to drive one.
[about the Concorde ] It's amazing.
NyssaWhat?
This thing is smaller on the inside than it is on the outside.
[Nyssa and Tegan are sitting outside the Snake Mouth cave when a puppeteer runs up to them]
Excuse me.
[His tray is full of jointed wooden snakes on sticks]
NyssaOh, no thank you. No, really, not at the moment.
Look. [begins to show them off]
NyssaYes, it's very good.
[The puppeteer waves one in front of Tegan, who screams and runs away]
NyssaTegan! Tegan! [goes after her]
Well, there's a probability of anything. Statistically speaking, if you gave typewriters to a treeful of monkeys, they'd eventually produce the works of William Shakespeare.
Nyssa[trying to draw the Doctor's attention away from his conversation with Tegan to the approaching craft on the viewscreen] Doctor...
Of course, you and I both know that at the end of a millennium they'd still be tapping out gibberish.
And you'd be tapping it out right alongside them. I only asked you a simple question.
There must be something I can do, tell me!
Too late, Peri. Going soon. Time to say goodbye.
Don't give up! You can't leave me now!
I might regenerate! I don't know.
(off-screen) Please...
Feels different this time.
What was it you always told me, Doctor? Brave heart? You'll survive, Doctor.
You must survive. Too many of your enemies would delight in your death, Doctor.
Turlough speaks the truth, Doctor.
NyssaYou're needed. You mustn't die, Doctor.
Too many of your enemies would be delighted.
You know that, Doctor.
NyssaYou mustn't die, Doctor.
You know that, Doctor.
Adric?
You know that, Doctor.
NyssaYou mustn't die, Doctor.
No, my dear Doctor, you must die! Die, Doctor! DIE, DOCTOR! [laughs wickedly]
