[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #660 (1968) - Prof. Stokes - 'Much as I hate to admit inadequacy in anything, I MUST.'

From "Robservations 9/24/02 - #660-661 - A Trip Back to the Past"

Stokes tells Barnabas there's nothing he can do, much as he hates to admit inadequacy--Peter was summoned back to his own time; he heard those he knew calling to him. Peter then beckoned to Vicki to come back, says Julia. Exactly, says Stokes--who in the past wants you back there? Stokes asks Barnabas--who else besides Vicki, who can't appeal to you personally? Peter Bradford, suggests Barn. He wouldn't want you there, says Julia. If he was convinced I was coming back to help her. . .points out Barnabas.

He would think you were going there to bring her back here, says Julia. That's an unnecessary remark, says Barnabas. Julia urges him to be honest, utterly, about this mad dream.

The Robservations doesn't quote things directly but paraphrases the quote well, though shamefully leaving out the "must" part...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Julia - 'Barnabas, if you should disappear, someone MUST know about it') was back on July 5th of 2021.

I think that it would go something like this:

Elizabeth (very exhausted): "I used to be."
