Michael Robbins: Richard Mace

Quotes 

• Nyssa : [watching Adric trying to fly the TARDIS]  Stay calm. Why won't it work?

  Adric : Perhaps I'm pushing the wrong buttons.

  Nyssa : Maybe she WAS damaged by the booster.

  Richard Mace : [watching the TARDIS fade in and out of the manor]  What IS this?

  The Doctor : It may be the only glimpse you even get of my TARDIS.

  Nyssa : Try and think what the Doctor would do if he were here.

  Adric : He'd probably get angry.

  Nyssa : I said empathize, not be silly.

  [Adric thinks for a moment] 

  Adric : Got it!

  [Adric pounds the console with his fist and it works] 

• The Doctor : How you felling?

  Richard Mace : What happened?

  The Doctor : Steady. You'll be all right.

  Richard Mace : How do you know that?

  The Doctor : [as if it's so obvious]  I'm the Doctor.

• Richard Mace : I once knew a French acrobat. He wasn't very good at tumbling but his skill with a piece of bent iron was phenomenal. Luckily he passed his skill onto me, which enabled me to extricate my fee from the strongboxes of more than one disreputable theater manager.
