• [first lines] 

  ["Demon's Run"] 

  Amy Pond : [to her baby]  I wish I could tell you that you'll be loved, that you'll be safe, and cared for, and protected, but this isn't the time for lies. What you are going to be, Melody, is very, very brave.

  Madame Kovarian : Two minutes.

  Amy Pond : But not as brave as they all have to be, because there's somebody coming. I don't know where he is, or what he's doing, but trust me: he's on his way.

  ["Twenty Thousand Light Years Away"] 

  Amy Pond : [continuing, V.O]  There's a man who's never going to let us down, and not even an army can get in the way. He's the last of his kind. He looks young, but he's lived for hundreds and hundreds of years. And wherever they take you, Melody, however scared you are, I promise you, you will never be alone, because this man is your father. He has a name, but the people of our world know him better... as The Last Centurion.

  Rory : [dressed in Roman Centurion garb]  I have a message and a question. A message from the Doctor, and a question from me: *Where* *is* *my* *wife*?

  [the Cybermen stare at him, saying nothing] 

  Rory : [walking into the room]  Oh, don't give me those blank looks. The Twelfth Cyber Legion monitors this entire quadrant. You hear everything. So you tell me what I need to know. You tell me now, and I'll be on my way.

  [Rory stops in front of an observation window] 

  Cyber Leader : What is the Doctor's message?

  [outside, the fleet begins exploding, startling the Cybermen] 

  Rory : [unfazed]  Would you like me to repeat the question?

• Rory : My daughter. What do you think?

  The Doctor : Hello. Hello... uh... baby.

  Amy Pond : Melody.

  The Doctor : Melody? Hello Melody Pond.

  Rory : Melody Williams.

  Amy Pond : ...is a geography teacher. Melody Pond is a super hero.

• Amy Pond : Rory, no offence to the others, but uh, you let them all die first, okay?

  Rory : You're so Scottish.

• River Song : It's my birthday. The Doctor took me ice skating on the River Thames in 1814. The last of the great frost fairs. He got Stevie Wonder to sing for me under London Bridge.

  Rory : Stevie Wonder sang in 1814?

  River Song : Yes, he did! But you must never tell him.

  Rory : I've come from the Doctor too.

  River Song : Yes, but at a different point in time.

  Rory : Unless there's two of them.

  River Song : No, that's a whole different birthday.

• The Doctor : Er, Centurian, permission to hug?

  Rory : Be aware, I do have a sword.

  The Doctor : [salutes him]  At all times.

  [hugs Amy] 

• The Doctor : Urgh. Kissing and crying. I'll, I'll be back in a bit.

  Rory : [Turns to face the doorway]  Oi! You - get in here - now!
