Quotes10

  • Amy Pond: In fact I think I can now definitely say I hate him. I hate the Doctor. I hate him more than I have hated anyone in my life and you can hear every word of this through those ridiculous glasses, can't you, Raggedy Man?
  • The Doctor: Uh, yes. Putting the speakerphone on.
  • Amy Pond: You told me to wait, and I did. A lifetime.
  • The Doctor: Amy!
  • Amy Pond: You've got nothing to say to me.
  • The Doctor: Amy, behind you!
  • Rory: It's like you're not even her.
  • Amy Pond: 36 years, 3 months, 4 days of solitary confinement. This facility was built to give people the chance to live. I walked in here and I died. Do you have anything to say? Anything, Doctor?
  • The Doctor: [in awe] Where did you get a sonic screwdriver?
  • Amy Pond: I made it. And it's a sonic probe.
  • Rory: You made a sonic screwdriver?
  • Amy Pond: [emphatic] Probe.
  • [in Amy's shelter by the time engines, Rory is startled by a Handbot]
  • Rory: Oh!
  • [it turns, revealing a smiling face drawn on its head]
  • Amy Pond: Don't worry about him. Sit down, Rory.
  • [Rory does. So does the Handbot. They look at each other]
  • Rory: You named him after me?
  • Amy Pond: I needed a bit of company.
  • Rory: So he's your...
  • Amy Pond: Pet.
  • Rory: Is it safe?
  • Amy Pond: Yep. I disarmed it.
  • Rory: How?
  • [Rory notices that its hands are gone, severed]
  • Rory: Ohh! You, uh, you dis-armed it.
  • Amy Pond: Oh, don't get sentimental; it's just a robot. You'd have done the same.
  • The Doctor: [in the TARDIS, watching] I don't think that I would've.
  • Rory: And there he is: the voice of God! "Survive, because no one is going to come for you." Number one lesson. You taught me that.
  • The Doctor: [over the glasses] Is that really all I've taught you?
  • Amy Pond: Don't you lecture me, blue-box man, flying through time and space on whimsy. All I've got, all I've had for 36 years is cold, hard reality. So, no, I don't have a sonic screwdriver, because I'm not off on a romp. I call it what it is: a probe; and I call my life what it is: hell.
  • Amy Pond: You didn't save me.
  • Rory: [shudders] Bu- *This* is the saving! This is the us saving you! The Doctor just got the
  • Rory: [shouting aside, enraged] *timing a bit out*!
  • The Doctor: [mouthing] Sorry.
  • The Doctor: [to Amy through the resynced glass] It's OK, I've got you, you're fine.
  • Handbot: [to Rory] Will you be visiting long?
  • Rory: Doctor, a little help, Doctor.
  • Amy Pond: And where have you been?
  • Handbot: Will you be visiting long?
  • Rory: What do I tell it?
  • Amy Pond: I have been here for a week!
  • The Doctor: A WEEK?
  • Rory: A *week*?
  • The Doctor: I'm so sorry! Ah-ha, same room, different times. Two different time streams running parallel but at different speeds. Amy, you're in a faster timestream!
  • Amy Pond: Doctor, it's going again!
  • [Handbot moves its hand threateningly close to Rory's face; he flinches away]
  • Rory: Doctor!
  • The Doctor: Amy!
  • Amy Pond: Doctooor!
  • [last lines]
  • The Doctor: I'll, uh, leave you two alone.
  • Rory: You all right?
  • Amy Pond: Mmm hmm.
  • Rory: How are you feeling?
  • Amy Pond: Where is she?
  • [first lines]
  • The Doctor: Appalappachia.
  • Amy Pond: Say it again?
  • The Doctor: Appalappachia!
  • Amy Pond: Appalappa...
  • The Doctor: -chia!
  • Rory: Appalappachia.
  • The Doctor: Appalappachia.
  • Amy Pond: Appalappachia! What a beautiful word.
  • The Doctor: Beautiful word, beautiful world.
  • Amy Pond: [the Doctor throws a lever, the room shifts] Ooh!
  • The Doctor: Appalappachia, voted number two planet in the Top Ten Greatest Destinations for the Discerning Intergalactic Traveler.
  • Rory: Why couldn't we go to number one?
  • The Doctor: It's *hideous*! *Everyone* goes to number one, planet of the coffee shops! Appalappachia, I give you sunsets; spires; soaring, silver colonnades; I give you, ahh!
  • [the TARDIS opens to a small, all-white room with a pair of closed, gray sliding doors under a white arch and a small chrome panel to the right of it with two buttons labeled "GREEN ANCHOR" and "RED WATERFALL". The room is otherwise completely featureless]
  • Rory: Doors.
  • The Doctor: Doors. Yes. I mea-, I- I-, I give you doors. But on the other *side* of those doors I give you sunsets; spires; soaring silver colonnades.
  • Amy Pond: Have you seen my phone?
  • The Doctor: Your phone?
  • Amy Pond: Yeah.
  • The Doctor: Your mobile telephone. I bring you to a paradise planet 2 billion light-years from Earth and you want to update... Twitter!
  • Amy Pond: "Sunsets; spires; soaring silver colonnades." It's a camera phone.
  • The Doctor: On the counter, by the DVDs.
  • Amy Pond: Thank you.
  • Amy Pond: 'cos here's the deal. You take me too. In the Tardis. Me too.
  • Rory: But that means there'd be two of you. Permanently. Forever.
  • Amy Pond: And that means we both get to live.
  • Rory: [to the Doctor] Two Amys. Together. Can that work?
  • The Doctor: [In the Tardis, watching] I don't know. It's your marriage.
  • The Doctor: If anyone can defeat pre-destiny it's your wife!
