Quotes7

  • Amy Pond: [Rory turns away from the gravestone with his name on it and suddenly vanishes] Doctor!
  • River Song: [River and The Doctor run out from the TARDIS and notice a Weeping Angel behind where Rory was standing] Where the Hell did that come from?
  • The Eleventh Doctor: [Scanning the statue with his Screwdriver] It's a survivor. Very weak but keep your eyes on it.
  • Amy Pond: Where's Rory?
  • The Eleventh Doctor: [Quickly glances at the tombstone and sees that it now has Rory's age at the time of his death written on it] I'm sorry... Amelia... I'm so, so sorry.
  • Amy Pond: No. No we can just go and get him in the TARDIS. One more paradox...
  • The Eleventh Doctor: Would rip New York apart.
  • Amy Pond: That's not true, I don't believe you.
  • River Song: Mother, it's true.
  • The Eleventh Doctor: [Amy begins walking towards the Angel and the gravestone] Amy? What are you doing?
  • Amy Pond: That gravestone, Rory's, there's room for one more name, isn't there?
  • The Eleventh Doctor: What are you talking about? Back away from the Angel, come back to the TARDIS. We'll figure something out.
  • Amy Pond: The Angel, would it send me back to the same time? To him?
  • The Eleventh Doctor: I don't know. Nobody knows.
  • Amy Pond: But it's my best shot, yeah?
  • The Eleventh Doctor: [Becoming scared] No!
  • River Song: Doctor, shut up! Yes, yes it is!
  • The Eleventh Doctor: Amy...
  • Amy Pond: Well then... I just have to blink, right?
  • The Eleventh Doctor: [Frantic] No!
  • Amy Pond: It'll be fine. I know it will. I-I'll be with him. Like I should be. Me and Rory together. Melody.
  • [She holds back her hand, and River takes it]
  • The Eleventh Doctor: Stop it! Just, just stop it!
  • Amy Pond: You look after him.
  • [she begins crying as River kisses her hand]
  • Amy Pond: And you be a good girl, and you look after him.
  • The Eleventh Doctor: You are creating a fixed time. I will never be able to see you again.
  • Amy Pond: I'll be fine. I'll be with him.
  • The Doctor: Why did you lie to me?
  • River Song: When one's in love with an ageless god who insists on the face of a 12-year-old, one does one's best to hide the damage.
  • The Doctor: It must hurt.
  • [softly]
  • The Doctor: Come here.
  • River Song: Yes. The wrist is pretty bad, too.
  • The Doctor: Well, aren't you the woman who killed the Doctor?
  • River Song: Doctor who?
  • The Doctor: Ha.
  • Amy Pond: [sees an angel] Husband, run!
  • [Rory and Amy leave, but another angel cuts of River and the Doctor]
  • The Doctor: River, I'm not sure this can work.
  • River Song: Husband, shut up.
  • The Doctor: You just changed the future!
  • River Song: It's called marriage, honey. Now, hush. I'm working.
  • River Song: Hello, Dad.
  • Rory Williams: Where am I?
  • [whispers]
  • Rory Williams: How the hell did I get here?
  • River Song: I haven't the faintest idea. But you'll probably want to put your hands up.
  • River Song: Oh, no. Really? Why do you have to break mine?
  • The Doctor: Because Amy read it in a book and now I have no choice.
