• 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.

• [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.

• 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!

• 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.

• [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?

• 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.

• The Doctor : If anyone can defeat pre-destiny it's your wife!
