  • Amy Pond: [Appearing in the TARDIS Doorway] Oi!
  • [Walks towards the console]
  • Amy Pond: Where are you sneaking off to? We haven't even had a snog in the shrubbery yet!

  • Rory: Because right now I'm not!
  • The Doctor: [Realising Rory has opened the Pandorica and unlocked the shackles] How did you do that?
  • Rory: [Holds up the sonic screwdriver] You gave me this.
  • The Doctor: [Taking his sonic screwdriver from his inside pocket] No, I didn't!
  • Rory: Yes you did, look at it.
  • The Doctor: [Steps out of the Pandorica and gently places his sonic screwdriver next to the one Rory is holding, causing a small spark] Temporal energy. Same screwdriver at different points in it's own time stream, which means it was me who gave it to you. Me from the future. I've got a future - that's nice!
  • The Doctor: [Spotting the Stone Dalek] That's not!
  • The Doctor: So, 2,000 years. How did you do?
  • Rory: Kept out of trouble.
  • The Doctor: Oh.
  • [the Doctor realizes he still has the fez and puts it on his head]
  • The Doctor: How?
  • Rory: Unsuccessfully.
  • Dalek: Drop the device!
  • The Doctor: It's not a weapon. Scan it! It's not a weapon, and you don't have the power to waste!
  • Dalek: Scans indicate intruder unarmed.
  • Rory: [From the shadows] Do you think?
  • [Drops the torch, allowing fingers to hinge down, revealling a barrel which fires two shots]
  • Dalek: Vision impaired!
  • Rory: [Watching the Doctor seal Amy inside the Pandorica] Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?
  • The Doctor: Saving her. This box is the ultimate prision. You can't even escape by dying. It forces you to stay alive.
  • Rory: But she's already dead!
  • The Doctor: Well, she mostly dead. the Pandorica can stasis lock her that way. Now all it needs now is a scan of her living DNA, and it'll restore her.
  • Rory: Where's it going to get that?
  • The Doctor: [Looks at his watch] In about 2,000 years.
  • [the Doctor walks off]
  • [the Doctor has modified a roof dish to prove the sun is actually the TARDIS exploding at every point in history]
  • Rory: Doctor, there's something else. A voice.
  • Amy Pond: [Watching as The Doctor adjusts the dish] I can't hear anything.
  • Rory: [Pointing to his ear] Trust the plastic!
  • River Song: [Repeating] I'm sorry, my love.
  • Amy Pond: Doctor, that's River! How can she be up there?
  • Rory: Maybe it's a recording or something.
  • The Doctor: No, it's not a recording. Of course, the emergency protocols! The TARDIS has sealed off the control room and put her in a time loop to save her!
  • The Doctor: Earth alone in the sky. Lets go and have a look.
  • [Holding out his are with the manipulator on it]
  • The Doctor: You put your hand there. Don't worry, should be safe.
  • Rory: That's not what I'm worried about!
