Alex Kingston: River Song

Silence in the Library

River Song

The Doctor: Oh, you're not, are you? Tell me you're not archaeologists.
Professor River Song: Got a problem with archaeologists?
The Doctor: I'm a time traveler. I point and laugh at archaeologists.
Professor River Song: [offering handshake] Ah. Professor River Song, archaeologist.

Professor River Song: You're doing a very good job acting like you don't know me. I'm assuming there's a reason.
The Doctor: Well, a fairly good one, actually.
Professor River Song: OK, shall we do diaries then? Where are we this time? Ah, going by your face, I'd say it's early days for you, yeah? So, um - crash of the Byzantium. Have we done that yet?
[pause]
Professor River Song: Obviously ringing no bells. Right, um - oh, picnic at Asgard. Have we done Asgard yet?
[pause]
Professor River Song: Obviously not. Blimey, very early days, then. Hoo! Life with a time traveler - never knew it could be *such* hard work. Um...
[pause]
Professor River Song: [whispering] Look at you.
Professor River Song: [gasp] You're *young*.
The Doctor: I'm really not, you know.
Professor River Song: No, but you *are*.
Professor River Song: [reaches to The Doctor's face and strokes his hair as Donna looks on] Your eyes. You're younger than I've ever seen you.
The Doctor: You've... seen me before then?
[the Doctor glances at her familiar touch]
Professor River Song: [hand moves to his shoulder, concerned] Doctor. Please tell me you know who I am.
The Doctor: [looks at her hand, then back to her face] Who are you?

[end theme music begins]
Professor River Song: I trust that man to the end of the Universe. And, actually, we've been.
The Doctor: [to River Song] Who *are* you?
Dr. Moon: And then, you forgot.
The Doctor: You just killed someone I like. That is not a safe place to stand!
The Girl: Aah!
The Doctor: This planet's going to crack like an egg.
The Girl: Daddy! No! Daddy!
Professor River Song: I hate you sometimes!
The Doctor: [hurdling over bookcase] I know!
[an atmospheric disturbance in The Girl's home]
The Doctor: Don't play games with me.
Strackman Lux: We need to stop this. We've got to save CAL!
The Doctor: What is it, what is CAL?
Professor River Song: Spoilers.
The Doctor: Spoilers.
The Girl: [panicked] No, don't tell, you mustn't tell!
[credits roll]

Professor River Song: [smiling at the Doctor through her space helmet] Hello, sweetie.
The Doctor: Get out!
Donna Noble: Doctor...
The Doctor: All of you, turn around, get back in you rocket and fly away. Tell your grandchildren you came to the Library and lived. They won't believe you.
Professor River Song: Pop your helmets, everyone, we got breathers.

Professor River Song: You think there's danger here?
The Doctor: Something came to this library and killed everything in it. Killed a whole world. Danger? Could be.
Professor River Song: That was 100 years ago. The library's been silent for 100 years. Whatever came here is long dead.
The Doctor: Bet your life?
Professor River Song: Always.

Professor River Song: [to the data ghost] Miss Evangelista, you're fine, just relax. We'll be with you presently.
