Quotes4

  • [last lines]
  • Bob: [to The Doctor over the radio] You told me my fear would keep me alive but I died afraid, in pain and alone. You made me trust you, and when it mattered, you let me down.
  • Amy Pond: [whispering to River Song] What are they doing?
  • River Song: [whispering to Amy Pond] They're trying to make him angry.
  • Bob: I'm sorry, sir. The Angels were very keen for you to know that.
  • The Doctor: Well, then, the Angels have made their second mistake because I'm not gonna let that pass. I'm sorry you're dead, Bob, but I swear to whatever is left of you they will be sorrier.
  • Bob: But you're trapped, sir. And about to die.
  • The Doctor: Yeah, trapped. And you know what, speaking of traps, this trap has got a great big mistake in it. A great big whopping mistake!
  • Bob: What mistake, sir?
  • The Doctor: [to Amy] Trust me?
  • Amy Pond: Yeah.
  • The Doctor: [to River] Trust me?
  • River Song: Always.
  • The Doctor: [to Father Octavian and the Clerics] You lot, trust me?
  • Father Octavian: We have faith, sir.
  • The Doctor: Then give me your gun. I'm about to do something incredibly stupid and dangerous. When I do, jump!
  • Father Octavian: Jump where?
  • The Doctor: Oh, just jump. High as you can. Come on! Leap of faith, Bishop. On my signal!
  • Father Octavian: What signal?
  • The Doctor: You won't miss it.
  • Bob: Sorry, can I ask you again? You mentioned a mistake we've made.
  • The Doctor: Oh, big, big mistake. Really huge. Didn't anyone ever tell you? There's one thing you never put in a trap. If you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there is one thing you never, ever put in a trap.
  • Bob: And what would that be, sir?
  • The Doctor: [aiming gun upwards] Me.
  • [the Doctor fires]
  • The Doctor: Lovely species, the Aplans. We should visit them some time.
  • Amy Pond: I thought they were all dead.
  • The Doctor: So's Virginia Woolf; I'm on her bowling team. Very relaxed, sort of cheerful. That's from having two heads. You're never short of a snog with an extra head.
  • River Song: Doctor, there's something, I don't know what it is...
  • The Doctor: Yeah, something wrong. Don't know what it is yet either, working on it. Then they started having laws against self-marrying and what was that about? But that's the church for you. Erm, no offence, Bishop.
  • Father Octavian: Quite a lot taken, if that's all right, Doctor. Lowest point in the wreckage is only about 50 feet up from here. That way.
  • Amy Pond: Church had a point, if you think about it. The divorces must have been *messy*.
  • Father Octavian: And two hundred years later the planet was terraformed. Currently there are six billion human colonies.
  • The Doctor: Whew! You lot. You're everywhere. You're like rabbits! I'll never get done saving you.
  • Father Octavian: Verger, how are we doing with those explosives? Doctor Song, with me.
  • River Song: Two minutes. Sweetie, I need you.
  • Amy Pond: Anybody need me? Nobody?
