Quotes 

• The Doctor : Ok, we're going to get to that command deck, and we're going to stop the angels, we're going to save Amy, and we're going to get everybody home.

  River Song : How?

  The Doctor : I'll do a thing.

  River Song : What thing?

  The Doctor : I don't know! It's a thing in progress! Respect the thing.

• Octavian : [about The Doctor]  You trust this man?

  River Song : I absolutely trust him.

  Octavian : He's not some kind of madman, then?

  River Song : [pause]  I absolutely trust him.

• River Song : You'll see me again, quite soon, when the Pandorica opens.

  The Doctor : The Pandorica!

  [laughs] 

  The Doctor : . That's a fairy tale!

  River Song : [laughs]  Doctor! Aren't we all?

• The Doctor : Can I trust you, River Song?

  River Song : If you like. But where's the fun in that?

• The Doctor : River Song, I could bloody kiss you!

  River Song : Oh well, maybe when you're older.

• Octavian : Doctor, we can't stay here, we're too exposed.

  The Doctor : We're too exposed everywhere, and Amy can't move, and anyway, that's not the plan.

  River Song : There's a plan?

  The Doctor : Don't know yet, I haven't finished talking.

• River Song : And for those of us who can't read the base code of the universe?

• River Song : [hears a loud screeching]  What is that? Dear God, what is it?

  Octavian : They're back.

  Bob : It's hard to put in your terms, Doctor Song, but as best as I understand it, the Angels are laughing.

  The Doctor : Laughing?

  Bob : Because you haven't noticed yet, sir. The Doctor in the TARDIS hasn't noticed.

• Octavian : Our mission is to make this wreckage safe and neutralise the Angels. Until that is achieved...

  River Song : Father Octavian, when the Doctor's in the room, your one and only mission is to keep him alive long enough to get everyone else home. And trust me, it's not easy. Now, if he's dead back there, I'll never forgive myself, and if he's alive, I'll never forgive him. And Doctor, you're standing right behind me, aren't you?

  The Doctor : Oh, yeah.

  River Song : I hate you.

  The Doctor : You don't.

• River Song : Doctor, I can't let you do this.

  The Doctor : No, seriously, get a grip.

  River Song : You're not going to die here!

  The Doctor : No, I mean it. River, Amy, get a grip.

• River Song : You, me, handcuffs... Must it always end this way?

• The Doctor : It's hungry.

  River Song : Ok, so what do we do?

  The Doctor : We feed it.

  River Song : Feed it what?

  The Doctor : A big complicated space-time event should shut it up for a while.

  River Song : Like what for instance?

  The Doctor : [shouting with fury]  Like *me* for instance!

• The Doctor : How can you be engaged in a manner of speaking?

  River Song : Well... Sucker for a man in uniform.
