BARBARA: Vicki, are you going to come with us? VICKI: Oh I, I'd like to. Yes, if you'll have me. — The Rescue BARBARA: Look, Ian, all the old associations are still in the ship. You can't expect him to say goodbye to Susan and then forget about her the next minute. IAN: No, I suppose not. I wonder what she's doing now? BARBARA: If I know anything about David, she's learning to milk cows. — The Rescue IAN: What's that nightmare? DOCTOR: Isn't it sufficient that it's down there and we're up here? Hmm? IAN: Yes. It's got eyes. I saw them. Green. Used to daylight. Must have come in from the outside. DOCTOR: Oh. Very good, yes. Very intelligent reasoning. So good I might have said the same thing myself. — The Rescue IAN: Well, you see Vicki, our space ship, well, isn't like this one. It travels through time. BARBARA: We left in 1963. VICKI: 1963! But that means you're about five hundred and fifty years old. BARBARA: Why, yes, I suppose I am. Yes, it's a way of looking at it, but I'll try not to look at it too often. VICKI: They didn't have time machines in 1963, they didn't know anything then. IAN: Oh, we weren't entirely ignorant, young lady. Even the Doctor thought it was worth paying us a visit. That's how we got mixed up with him in the first place. — The Rescue VICKI: Then Bennett murdered my father. Then I've got nobody. DOCTOR: My dear. My dear, why don't you come with us, hmm? VICKI: In that old box? DOCTOR: We can travel anywhere and everywhere in that old box as you call it. Regardless of space and time. VICKI: Then it is a time machine? DOCTOR: And if you like adventure, my dear, I can promise you an abundance of it. Apart from all that, well you'll be amongst friends. Hmm? Well? Now, suppose I leave you here for a moment to think about it, hmm? — The Rescue DOCTOR: You destroyed a whole planet to save your own skin. You're insane. BENNETT: The girl didn't know I'd been arrested. When we get back to Earth, she'd support my story. I dressed up as Koquillion to show her how terrible the people here were. DOCTOR: If that happened, your guilt would have been hidden forever, hmm? BENNETT: If it happened? Nothing's changed. There's only three more people for Koquillion to kill, that's all. — The Rescue Login to track and rate! View Rating Distribution Ratings are from TARDIS Guide members only.
