The Impossible Astronaut
Amy: “At the personal intervention of the King, the unnamed doctor was incarcerated without trial in the Tower of London.”
Rory: Okay, but it doesn’t have to be him.
Amy: “According to contemporary accounts, two nights later a magical sphere some twenty feet across was seen floating away from the tower, carrying the mysterious doctor aloft.”
Rory: Okay. It’s him.
Amy: There’s more.
Amy: It’s like he’s being deliberately ridiculous, trying to attract our attention. {about Laurel and Hardy} Are we watching this again?
Rory: Yeah. I’ve explained the jokes. So what are you saying? You really think he’s back there trying to wave to us out of history books? {The Doctor appears on-screen and waves at them}.
Amy: It is the sort of thing he’d do.
Rory: Yeah, but why?
Amy: Well he said he’d be in touch.
Rory: Two months ago.
Amy: Two months is nothing. He’s up to something. I know he is. I know him.
Rory: What is it? Amy?
Amy: A date. A time. A map reference. I think it’s an invitation.
Rory: From who?
Amy: It’s not signed. Look. TARDIS blue.
Amy: This is it, yeah? Right place?
Rory: Uh. Nowhere. Middle of. Yeah. This is it.
The Doctor: Howdy.
Amy: Doctor!
The Doctor: It’s the Ponds!
Amy: Someone’s been a busy boy then, eh.
The Doctor: Did you see me?
Amy: Of course.
The Doctor: Stalker.
Amy: Flirt.
Rory: Husband.
The Doctor: And Rory the Roman!
Amy: Eleven hundred and three. You were nine hundred and eight last time I saw you.
The Doctor: And you’ve put on a couple of pounds. I wasn’t going to mention it.
Amy: Who’s that?
Rory: Hm? Who’s who?
Amy: Sorry what?
Rory: What did you see? You said you saw something.
Amy: No, I didn’t.
Amy: River, he can’t be dead. This is not impossible.
River: Whatever that was, it killed him in the middle of his regeneration cycle. His body was already dead. He didn’t make it to the next one.
Amy: Maybe he’s a clone or a duplicate or something.
Canton Everett Delaware III (William Morgan Sheppard): I believe I can save you some time. That most certainly is the Doctor. And he is most certainly dead.
Amy: What do we do, Rory?
River: We’re his friends. We do what the Doctor’s friends always do. As we’re told.
Rory: There’s a boat. If we’re going to do this, let’s do it properly.
Amy: Will you two shut up, it doesn’t matter.
River: He was up to something.
Amy: He’s dead.
River: “Space. 1969.” What did he mean?
Amy: You’re still talking, but it doesn’t matter.
Rory: Hey! It mattered to him.
River: So it matters to us.
Amy: He’s dead.
River: But he still needs us. I know. Amy, I know. But right now we have to focus.
Amy: Doctor.
The Doctor: Just popped out to get my special straw. It adds more fizz.
Amy: You’re okay. How can you be okay?
The Doctor: Hey, of course I’m okay. I’m always okay. I’m the king of okay. Oh, that’s a rubbish title. Forget that title.
Amy: I don’t understand.
Rory: Yeah you do.
The Doctor: I don’t. What are we all doing here?
River: We’ve been recruited. Something to do with space, 1969. And a man called Canton Everett Delaware the Third.
The Doctor: Recruited by who?
River: Someone who trusts you more than anyone else in the Universe.
The Doctor: And who’s that?
River: Spoilers.
Amy: Explain it again.
River: The Doctor we saw on the beach is a future version two hundred years older than the one up there.
Amy: But all that’s still gonna happen? He’s still gonna die?
River: We’re all going to do that, Amy.
Amy: We have to tell him.
River: We’ve told him all we can. We can’t even tell him we’ve seen his future self. He’s interacted with his own past. It could rip a hole in the Universe.
Amy: Except he’s done it before!
Rory: And in fairness the Universe did blow up.
Amy: But he’d want to know!
River: Would he? Would anyone?
Amy: Trust me.
The Doctor: Okay.
Amy: You have to do this. And you can’t ask why.
The Doctor: Are you being threatened? Is someone making you say that?
Amy: No.
The Doctor: You’re lying.
Amy: I’m not lying.
The Doctor: Swear to me. Swear to me on something that matters.
Amy: Fish fingers and custard.
The Doctor: My life your hands, Amelia Pond.
Amy: Space man. Like the one we saw in the lake?
River: Maybe. Probably.
Amy: I remember.
Rory: Amy. What do you remember?
Amy: I don’t know, I just—
Amy: Actually, I can usually manage this alone.
Amy: I saw you before at the lake. And here. But then I forgot. How did I forget? What are you? {the woman comes out} Get back! Stay back from it.
Joy: Augh! Oh my god, what is that? Is that a mask? Is that a Star Trek thing? Ben, is that you?
Amy: Get back from it now! {Joy turns}
Joy: Back from what, honey?
Amy: You didn’t have to kill her. She couldn’t even remember you. How does that work? We can only remember you while we’re seeing you, is that it? {she snaps a photo}. Why did you have to kill her?
The Silent: Joy. Her name was Joy. Your name is Amelia. You will tell the Doctor.
Amy: Tell him what?
The Silent: What he must know. And what he must never know.
Amy: How do you know about that?
The Silent: Tell him!
Rory: Why is it always my turn?
Amy: ‘Cause you’re the newest.
Amy: But why would the little girl be here?
The Doctor: I don’t know. It lost me a bit. The President asked her where she was and she did what any lost little girl would do. She looked out of the window.
Amy: Streets. Of course. Street names.
The Doctor: It’s very contemporary. Cutting edge. This is from the space program.
River: Stolen?
Amy: What, by aliens?
The Doctor: Apparently.
Amy: But why? I mean if you could make it all the way to Earth why steal technology that could barely make it to the moon?
The Doctor: Maybe ’cause it’s cooler! Look at how cool this stuff is.
Amy: Cool aliens?
The Doctor: Well what would you call me?
Amy: An alien.
The Doctor: Oy!
Amy: Time can be rewritten.
River: Not all of it.
Amy: Says who?
River: Who d’you think?
Delaware: Doctor “who” exactly?
Amy: Ah. That’s classified.
Delaware: Classified by who?
Amy: God knows.
Amy: I had something I wanted to tell him. Stuff always gets in the way.
Delaware: Stuff does that.
Amy: Doctor, I’m pregnant.
Amy: That’s it. The astronaut.
Little Girl: Help me!
Amy: Get down!
The Doctor: What are you doing?!
Amy: Saving your life!

Day of the Moon
3 Months Later – July 1969
Amy: Canton.
Canton: Miss Pond.
Amy: Is that a body bag?
Canton: Yes it is.
Amy: It’s empty.
Canton: How ’bout that.
Amy: Do you even know why you’re doing this, eh? Can you even remember? The warehouse.
The Doctor: You okay?
Amy: All better.
The Doctor: Better?
Amy: Turns out I was wrong. I’m not pregnant.
Canton: So that’s why you marked your skin?
Amy: Only way we’d know if we had an encounter.
Canton: How long have they been here?
Amy: That’s what we’ve spent the last three months trying to find out.
Rory: Yeah, not easy if you can’t remember anything you discover.
Amy’s recording: I can see them. I think they’re asleep. Get out! Just get out!
Amy: Hello. Who are you?
Matron: No I think she’s just dreaming.
Amy: Who are you? I don’t understand so just tell me who you are! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to shoot you. I’m glad I missed. But you killed the Doctor. Or you’re gonna kill him. But who are you? Just please, tell me, because I don’t understand.
Little Girl: Please help me. Help me. Please.
Rory: Where is she, Doctor?
River checking the spacesuit: It’s empty.
Amy: Dark. So dark. I don’t know where I am. Please, can anybody hear me?
Amy: I love you. I know you think it’s him. I know you think it ought to be him. But it’s not. It’s you. And when I see you again I’m gonna tell you properly. Just to see your stupid face. My life was so boring before you just dropped out of the sky. Just get your stupid face where I could see it, okay? Okay.
The Silent: We do you honor. You will bring the Silence. But your part will soon be over.
Amy: Well whatever that means, you’ve made a big mistake bringing me here ’cause wait ’til you see what’s coming for you now.
The Silent: You have been here for many days.
Amy: no. I just got here. You just put me in here.
The Silent: Your memory’s weak. You have been here many days.
Amy: No. I can’t have been.
The Silent: You will sleep now.
Amy: Is this really important, flirting? Because I feel like I should be higher on the list right now.
Amy: What’s he got?
Rory: Something, I hope.
Rory: We are not leaving without you.
Amy: No! Just get your stupid face out of here!
The Doctor: You told me you were pregnant.
Amy: Yes.
The Doctor: Why?
Amy: ‘Cause I was. I mean I thought I was. Turns out I wasn’t.
The Doctor: No, I mean why did you tell me?
Amy: Because you’re my friend. You’re my best friend.
The Doctor: Hm. Did you tell Rory?
Amy: No.
The Doctor: Amy, why tell me and not Rory?

The Curse of the Black Spot
Amy: Rory? Little help?
Rory: Yeah. Hey, listen, right? She’s not a doxy!
Amy: I didn’t mean just tell them off! Thanks anyway.
Captain Avery: Put down the sword. A sword could kill us all, girl.
Amy: Yeah. Thanks. That’s actually why I’m pointing it at you.
Dancer (Chris Jarman): You have killed me.
Amy: No way. It’s just a cut. {a black spot appears on his hand} What kind of rubbish pirates are you?
Captain Avery: One drop, that’s all it takes. One drop of blood and she’ll rise out of the ocean.
Amy: Come on, I barely even scratched him. What are you all in such a huff about?
Captain Avery: How did she get in?
The Doctor: Bilge water. She’s using water like a portal. A door. She can materialize through a single drop. We need to go somewhere with no water.
Amy: Well thank god we’re not in the middle of the ocean.
Rory: Did you see her eyes? Like crystal pools.
Amy: You are in enough trouble.
The Doctor: She’s out there now, licking her lips. Boiling the sauce[pan]. Grating the cheese.
Amy: Okay. Well remember if you get an itch don’t scratch too hard.
The Doctor: We’ve all gotta go sometime. There are worse ways than having your face gnawed off by a dodgy mermaid.
Amy: Congratulations. Made it to the menu.
Boatswain: Mulligan, what are you doing?
Amy: No honor among pirates.
The Doctor: Not my most dynamic plan, I realize.
Amy: TARDIS?
The Doctor: It’s been towed.
Captain Avery: To the rigging, you dogs! Let go the sails! Avanti! Put the [bunting in the sack] of the clews!
Amy: I swear he’s making half this stuff up!
Rory: Well we’re gonna need some kind of phrase book!
Captain Avery: We’re on a ghost ship.
The Doctor: No, it’s real. A spaceship trapped in a temporal rift.
Amy: How can two ships be in the same place?
The Doctor: Not the same. Two ships, two worlds. Two cars parked in the same space. There are lots of different universes nested inside each other. Now and again they collide and you can step from one to the other.
Amy: Okay. I think I understand.
The Doctor: Good. ‘Cause it’s not like that at all, but if that helps…
Amy: Thanks.
Amy: I don’t understand. If this is the captain then what’s the Siren?
The Doctor: Same as us. A stowaway.
Amy: She killed him?
The Doctor: Human bacteria.
Amy: What?
The Doctor: A virus. From our planet. Airborne, travelling through the portal. That’s what killed it, didn’t get it’s jahhh— {sticks his hand in goo} bs. Ah. Look.
Amy: What is it?
The Doctor: Sneeze. Alien boogies.
The Doctor: Ignore all my previous theories!
Amy: Yeah, well we stopped paying attention a while back.
Amy: Rory, this isn’t a film. What if I do it wrong?
Rory: You won’t.
Amy: Okay, what if you don’t come back to life? What if—
Rory: I trust you.
Amy: Good night, Doctor.
The Doctor: Good night, Amelia.
Amy: You only call me Amelia when you’re worrying about me.
The Doctor: I always worry about you.
Amy: Mutual.
The Doctor: Go to bed, Pond!
Rory: You can’t tell him. It’s his future.
Amy: I know.

The Doctor’s Wife
The Doctor: …and then we discovered it wasn’t the Robot King after all, it was the real one. Fortunately I was able to reattach the head.
Rory: Do you believe any of this stuff?
Amy: I was there.
Rory: Hey. You’re still thinking about it, aren’t you?
Amy: Shh! We saw him die.
Rory: Yeah. Two hundred years in the future.
Amy: Yes, but it’s still gonna happen.
Rory: What is happening!?
The Doctor: We are leaving the Universe!
Amy: How can you leave the Universe?
The Doctor: With enormous difficulty. Right now I’m burning up TARDIS rooms to give us some [wally]. Goodbye swimming pool! Goodbye scullery! Sorry for this, squash court seven.
Amy: Okay. Okay. Where are we?
The Doctor: Outside the Universe. Where we’ve never ever been.
Amy: So what kind of trouble is your friend in?
The Doctor: He was in a bind. A bit of a pickle. Sort of… distressed.
Amy: Ah, you can’t just say you don’t know?
Amy: Wait, so we’re in a tiny bubble universe sticking to the side of the bigger bubble universe?
The Doctor: Yeah. No! But if it help, yes.
The Doctor: This place is full of rift energy. She’ll probably refuel just by being here. Now, this place. What do we think? Gravity’s almost Earth normal. Air’s breathable. But it smells like—
Amy: Armpits.
The Doctor: Armpits!
Uncle: Come. Come come. You can see House and he can look at you.
The Doctor: I see. This asteroid is sentient.
Auntie: We walk on his back, breathe his air, eat his food—
Amy: Smell its armpits.
Rory: So as soon as the TARDIS is refueled we go, yeah?
The Doctor: No! There are Time Lords here. I heard them and they need me.
Amy: But you told me about your people and you told me what you did.
The Doctor: Yes, yes. But if they’re like The Corsair they’re good ones and I can save them.
Amy: And then tell them you destroyed all the others?
The Doctor: I can explain. Tell them why I had to.
Amy: You want to be forgiven.
The Doctor: Don’t we all?
Amy: I told you to look after him.
Rory: He’ll be fine. He’s a Time Lord.
Amy: It’s just what they’re called. It doesn’t mean he actually knows what he’s doing.
Rory: Two thousand years I waited for you and you did it to me again!
Amy: I didn’t mean to. I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry.
Amy: Crimson. Eleven. Delight. The smell of dust after rain.
The Doctor: She’s a woman. And she’s the TARDIS.
Amy: Did you wish really hard?
The Doctor: Shut up! Not like that.
Idris: Hello. I’m Sexy.
The Doctor: Oh! Still shut up.
Rory: How’s it going under there?
The Doctor: Just putting a firewall around the matrix. Almost done.
Amy: Are you going to make her talk again?
The Doctor: Can’t.
Rory: Why not?
Amy: Spacey wacey, isn’t it?
The Doctor: Well actually it’s because the Time Lords discovered that if you take an eleventh dimensional matrix and fold it into a mechanical then— Yes, it’s spacey wacey!
The Doctor: Big finish. Two more minutes, then we’re off. The Eye of Orion’s restful. If you like restful. I could never get the hang of restful. What do you think, dear? Huh? Where should we take the kids this time?
Amy: Look at you pair. It’s always you and her isn’t it? Long after the rest of us have gone. A boy and his box off to see the universe.
The Doctor: Well you say that as if it’s a bad thing. But honestly it’s the best thing there is.
The Doctor: The House deleted all the bedrooms. I should probably make you two a new bedroom. You’d like that wouldn’t you?
Amy: Okay. Um. Doctor, this time could we lose the bunkbeds?
The Doctor: No! Bunk beds are cool. A bed. With a ladder. You can’t beat that.

The Rebel Flesh
The Doctor: Who wants fish and chips? {Rory raises a finger} I’ll drop you both off. Take your time. Don’t rush!
Rory: Ah. And you?
The Doctor: I have things to do. Things involving other things.
Amy: Well, we’ll stay with you. We’ll do the other things.
The Doctor: Nope.
Amy: Whatever you’re up to, I personally like to be a part of it.
The Doctor: Behold! A cockerel. Love a cockerel. And underneath a monastery. Ah, thirteenth century.
Amy: Oh. We’ve gone all mediaeval.
Rory: I’m not sure about that.
Amy: Really? Mediaeval expert, are you?
Rory: No, it’s just that, I can hear Dusty Springfield.
Amy: So where are these Dusty Springfield lovin’ monks then?
The Doctor: I think we’re here. This is it.
Rory: Doctor, what are you talking about? We’ve never been here before.
Amy: We came here by accident.
The Doctor: Accident? Yes, I know. Accident.
The Doctor: And there you are.
Cleaves: Meet the government’s worst kept secret. The Flesh. It’s fully programmable matter. In fact it’s even learning to replicate itself. At the cellular level.
Amy: Right. Brilliant. Lost.
Amy: Doctor, Rory.
The Doctor: Rory.
Amy: Rory!
The Doctor: Oh Rory. Rory! Always with the Rory!
Amy: Doctor, you said they wouldn’t be violent.
The Doctor: I did say they were scared. And angry.
Jimmy:
And they’re technology. That’s what you said. You seem to know something about the Flesh.
Amy: Do you? Doctor?
Jimmy: Amy, I wouldn’t—
Amy: Nor would I, but what can you do, eh?
Buzzer: Jen?
Amy: No, it’s a ‘ganger. Rory, listen—
Rory: No, you listen. Nobody touches her!
Amy: We don’t really know anything about them yet.
Rory: I know that she’s afraid. And she needs our help.
The Doctor: The flesh was never merely moss. These are not copies. The storm has hardwired them. They are becoming people.
Jimmy: With souls.
Dicken: Rubbish. {he sneezes}
Ganger Dicken: Bless you.
The Doctor: Well, we were all jelly once. Little jelly eggs, sitting in goo.
Amy: Yeah, thanks. Too much information.
The Doctor: Rory Pond.
Amy: Rory. Come on.
Rory: Jen’s out there. She’s out there and she’s on her own.
The Doctor: Well if she’s got any sense then she’s hiding. Rory!
Rory: I can’t leave her out there.
The Doctor: Rory!
Rory: I know you understand that.
Amy: Get in here. Get in here.
Amy: Doctor! We are trapped in here and Rory’s out there with them. Hello! We can’t get to the TARDIS and we can’t even leave the island.
The Doctor Ganger: Correctively respect, Pond. It’s frightening. Unexpected. Frankly, a total utter splattering mess on the carpet. But I am certain—one hundred percent certain—that we can work this out. Trust me. I’m the Doctor.

The Almost People
Both: Hello! Sorry.
The Doctor Ganger: But we had to establish a few—
The Doctor: Ground rules. Formulate a protocol.
The Doctor Ganger: Protocol! Don’t be posh.
The Doctor: I mean protocol between us otherwise it gets horribly embarrassing. And potentially confusing.
Amy: Okay. Well I’m glad you solved the problem of confusing.
The Doctor Ganger: That’s sarcasm.
The Doctor: She’s very good at sarcasm.
Cleaves: Can you really get the power back?
The Doctor Ganger: Oh, there’s always some power floating around—
The Doctor: Sticking to the wires, like bits of lint.
Amy: Could you stop finishing each other’s—
The Doctor: Sentences?
The Doctor Ganger: No promises.
Amy: No, but hang on. You said the TARDIS was stuck in acid. So wouldn’t she be damaged?
The Doctor: Nah. She’s a tough old thing. Tough old sexy thing.
The Doctor Ganger: Tough, dependable, sexy.
Amy: Ew.
Amy: How can you both be real?
The Doctor Ganger: Well. Because. We are. I’m the Doctor.
The Doctor: Yeah! And so am I. We both contain the knowledge of over nine hundred years of memory and experience. We both wear the same bow tie which is cool.
The Doctor Ganger: Bow ties are—
The Doctor: and always will be.
Amy: But how did the Flesh read you? Because you weren’t linked up to it.
The Doctor: Well it must have been after I examined it. Thus a new genuine Doctor was created.
The Doctor Ganger: Ta da!
Amy: No getting away from it. One of you was here first.
The Doctor: Well, okay. After the Flesh scanned me I had an accident in a puddle of acid. Now, new shoes—a situation which did not confront my new self here.
The Doctor Ganger: Interesting. You definitely feel more affection for him than me.
Amy: No. No, I— Look, you’re fine and everything, but he’s “The Doctor”. No offense. Being almost the Doctor is pretty darn impressive.
The Doctor Ganger: Being almost the Doctor is like being no Doctor at all.
Amy: Don’t overreact!
The Doctor Ganger: You might as well call me Smith.
Amy: Smith?
The Doctor Ganger: John Smith!
The Doctor: Yes! Communication-a-go-go!
Amy: Find Rory! Show me the scanny tracky screen.
The Doctor: Amy. What happened?
Amy: It’s her again.
The Doctor: It’s who again?
Amy: There’s a woman I keep seeing. A woman with an eye patch. And she has this habit of sliding walls open and staring at me.
Amy: If you really are the same then you can die, can’t you? Be killed and… I’ve seen that happen.
The Doctor Ganger: Why.
Amy: Why? Because you invited us to see it. Your death. {He turns around and pins her to the wall.}
The Doctor Ganger: Why?!
Amy: You’re hurting me!
The Doctor Ganger: It’s all the eyes say! Why! I can feel them! As they work each day knowing the time was coming for them to be thrown away again. Not again! Please! And then they are destroyed and they feel death. And all they can say is Why!
Amy: I never thought it possible.
The Doctor Ganger: What?
Amy: You’re twice the man I thought you were.
The Doctor: I said, breathe, Pond. Remember? Well. Breathe.
Amy: Why?
The Doctor: Breathe. {she has a stomach cramp}
Rory: What’s wrong with her?
The Doctor: Get her into the TARDIS.
The Doctor: I needed enough information to block the signal to the Flesh.
Amy: What signal?
The Doctor: The signal to you.
Amy: Doctor?
The Doctor: Stand away from her Rory.
Rory: Why? No and why?
The Doctor: Given what we’ve learned I’ll be as humane as I can but I need to do this and you need to stand away!
Amy: Doctor I am frightened. I’m properly, properly scared.
The Doctor: Don’t be, hold on. We’re coming for you, I swear. Whatever happens, however hard, however far, we will find you.
Amy: I’m right here.
The Doctor: No you’re not. You haven’t been here for a long long time.
Amy: Oh no. {he melts her}.
Eye Patch Lady: Well dear. You’re ready to pop, aren’t you? Little one’s on its way. Here it comes. Push…

A Good Man Goes to War
Demon’s Run
Amy: 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 (Frances Barber): Two minutes.
Amy: 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.
Amy: There’s a man who’s never going to let us down. And not even an army can get in the way.
Amy: 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.
Lorna: Sorry. I shouldn’t be here. I’m meant to be at the thing. I brought you something. Your child’s name in the language of my people. It’s a prayer leaf. And we believe if you keep this with you, your child will always come home to you.
Amy: Can I borrow your gun?
Lorna: Why?
Amy: ‘Cause I’ve got a feeling you’re gonna keep talking.
Amy: They’re talking like he’s famous. The Doctor isn’t famous.
Lorna: He meets a lot of people. Some of them remember. He’s sort of like a… I don’t know. A Dark Legend.
Amy: Dark? Have you met him?
Lorna: Yeah. But I was just a little girl.
Amy: So was I.
Amy: The thing is, he’s coming. No question about it. Just you make sure you’re on the right side when he gets here. Not for my sake, for yours.
Amy: Who’s there? You watch it, because I am armed and really dangerous, and… cross.
Rory: Yeah. Like I don’t know that.
Amy: They took her. Rory, they took our baby away.
Rory: Now, Mrs. Williams, that is never ever going to happen.
Rory: Oh god, I was going to be cool. I wanted to be cool. Look at me.
Amy: You’re okay. Crying Roman with a baby: definitely cool.
The Doctor: Hello! Hello, ah… baby.
Amy: Melody.
The Doctor: Melody! Hello Melody Pond.
Rory: Melody Williams.
Amy: Is a geography teacher. Melody Pond is a super hero.
The Doctor talking to Melody: Well yes I suppose she does smell nice. Never really sniffed her. Maybe I should give it a go.
The Doctor: It’s okay, she’s still all yours. And really you should call her mummy, not big milk thing.
Amy: Okay, what are you doing?
The Doctor: I speak baby.
Amy: No you don’t.
The Doctor: I speak everything. Don’t I, Melody Pond? {straightening his bow tie} No it’s not. It’s cool.
Rory: Hey, what’s wrong?
Amy: She doesn’t like the TARDIS noise. I asked him to turn something off, but he was all, “But I don’t want to punch a hole in the space-time continuum.”
Amy: Doctor, um, do you have children?
The Doctor: No.
Amy: Have you ever had children?
The Doctor to Melody: No, it’s real. It’s my hair.
Amy: Who slept in here?
Rory: So her Flesh avatar was with us all that time. But that means they were projecting a control signal right into the TARDIS, wherever we were in time and space.
The Doctor: Yeah. They’re very clever.
Amy: Who are?
Rory: Whoever wants our baby.
Amy: Why do they want her?
The Doctor: Exactly.
Rory: Is there anything you’re not telling us? You knew Amy wasn’t real, you never said.
The Doctor: I couldn’t be sure they weren’t listening.
Amy: But you always hold out on us. Please, this time. Doctor, it’s our baby. Tell us something. One little thing.
The Doctor: It’s mine.
Rory: What is?
The Doctor: The cot. It’s my cot. I slept in it.
Lorna: The only reason I joined the Clerics was so I could meet the Doctor again.
Jenny: You wanted to meet him, so you joined an army to fight him?
Lorna: Well, how else do you meet a great warrior?
Amy: He’s not a warrior.
Lorna: Then why’s he called the Doctor?
Amy: Rory, no offense to the others, but you let them all die first, okay?
Rory: You’re so Scottish.
Amy: So they took her anyway. All this was for nothing.
The Doctor: I am so sorry.
Jenny: Amy, it’s not his fault.
Amy: I know.
Amy: Where is he going? What did you tell him?
River: Amy, you have to stay calm.
Amy: Tell me what you told the Doctor.
Rory: No, stop it.
River: It’s okay, Rory. She’s fine. She’s good. It’s the TARDIS translation matrix. It takes awhile to kick in with the written word. You have to concentrate.
Amy: I still can’t read it.
River: It’s because it’s Gallifreyan. It doesn’t translate. {she hands her the leaf} But this will. It’s your daughter’s name in the language of the Forest.
Amy: I know my daughter’s name.
River: Except they don’t have a word for pond. The only water in the forest is the river. The Doctor will find your daughter. And he will care for her, whatever it takes. And I know that. It’s me. I’m Melody. I’m your daughter.

Let’s Kill Hitler
Amy: Okay, you’ve had all summer. Have you found her? Have you found Melody?
The Doctor to Rory: Permission?
Rory: Granted.
The Doctor hugging Amy: You know who she grows up to be, so you know I will find her.
Amy: But you haven’t yet.
Rory: Hang on, what’s this bit? {he points to the line through the word “Doctor”}
Amy: That wasn’t us.
Mels (Nina Toussaint-White): You said he was funny. You never said he was hot.
Rory: Mels!
Amy: What are you doing here?
Mels: Following you. What do you think?
Rory: Um. Where did you get the car?
Mels: It’s mine… ish.
Amy: Oh Mels. Not again.
Rory: You can’t keep doing this. You’re gonna end up in prison.
A Long Time Ago in Leadworth…
Young Mels (Maya Glace-Green): Is he hot?
Amelia Pond (Caitlin Blackwood): No, he’s funny.
Young Mels: But how can he travel in time?
Amelia Pond: ‘Cause he’s got a time machine, stupid.
Young Rory (Ezekiel Wigglesworth): I thought we were playing hide-and-seek. I’ve been hiding for hours.
Amelia: Well. We just haven’t found you yet.
Young Rory: Okay.
Amelia: Why are you always in trouble? You’re the most in trouble in the whole school except for boys.
Mels: And you?
Amelia: I count as a boy.
Mels: It’s all right for you. You’ve got Mr. Perfect keeping you right.
Amy: He’s not even real. Just a stupid dream when I was a kid.
Mels: I wasn’t talking about him.
Amy: What, Rory? How have I “got” Rory?
Rory: Yeah. How has she “got” me?
Amy: He’s not mine.
Rory: No. No. I’m not hers.
Mels: Come on. Seriously. It’s got to be you two. Oh cut to the song, it’s getting boring.
Amy: Nice thought, okay? But completely impossible.
Rory: Yeah. Impossible.
Amy: I’d love to. He’s gorgeous. He’s my favorite guy. But he’s, you know— Gay.
Rory: —a friend. {to Amy} I’m not gay.
Amy: Yes you are.
Rory: No. No I’m not.
Amy: Of course you are, don’t be stupid. In the whole time I’ve known you, when have you shown the slightest interest in a girl?
Mels: Penny in the air.
Amy: I mean I’ve known you for what, ten years? I’ve seen you practically every day. Name one girl you’ve paid the slightest bit of attention to. {Rory runs out of the room}. Oh my god. Rory. {she runs after him}.
Mels: And the penny drops.
Berlin, 1938
The Doctor: Oo! Hello. Sorry. Is this your office? Had a sort of collision with my… vehicle. Fault’s on both sides, let’s say no more about— {sees Hitler} it.
Amy: Is that? No, it can’t be, Doctor.
Adolf Hitler (Albert Welling): Thank you. Whoever you are. I think you have just saved my life.
The Doctor: Believe me. It was an accident.
Amy: What did he mean we just saved his life? We could not have just saved Hitler.
The Doctor: You see? Time travel. It never goes to plan.
Amy: Okay, Doctor. Explain what is happening, please.
The Doctor: Mels. Short for.
Mels: Melody.
Amy: Yeah, I named my daughter after her.
The Doctor: You named your daughter after your daughter.
Mels: Took me years to find you two. I’m so glad I did. There, you see? It all worked out in the end, didn’t it? You got to raise me after all.
Amy: You’re Melody.
Rory: But if she’s Melody, that means that she’s also—
Mels: Oh shut up, Dad. I’m focusing on a dress size. {she regenerates into…}
Amy: That’s Melody.
Rory: That’s River Song.
River: Who’s River Song?
The Doctor: Spoilers.
River: Spoilers? What’s spoilers? Hang on, just something I have to check.
Rory: Does anybody else find this day just a bit difficult? I’m getting a sort of banging in my head.
Amy: Yeah, I think that’s Hitler in the cupboard.
Rory: That’s not helping.
The Doctor: This isn’t the River Song we know yet. This is her right at the start. She doesn’t even know her name.
River: Oh, that’s magnificent! I’m gonna wear lots of jodhpurs.
Rory: What’s wrong with you? What has she done to you?
The Doctor: Poisoned me. But I’m fine. {thinks better} Well no. I’m dying. But I’ve got a plan.
Amy: What plan?
The Doctor: Not dying. See? Fine.
Amy: Okay, what do we do? How do we help you?
The Doctor: Take this. The TARDIS can hone in on it. Now go! Get after her.
Amy: You said the smoke was deadly.
The Doctor: No, the smoke’s fine. The poison will kill me first. Now get after River!
Amy: I don’t understand, okay? One minute she’s going to marry you and then she’s going to kill you?
The Doctor: Well she’s been brainwashed. It all makes sense to her. Plus, she’s a woman. Oh shut up, I’m dying!
Amy: Can you ride a motorbike?
Rory: I expect so. It’s that sort of day.
The Doctor: Shutting down. I need an interface. Voice interface, come on. Emergency. {The Doctor hologram appears}
The Doctor Hologram: Voice interface enabled.
The Doctor: Oh no no no.
Give me someone I like. {Rose appears}. Thanks! Give me guilt. {Martha} Also guilt. {Donna} More guilt! Come on. There must be someone left in the universe I haven’t screwed up yet.
Amelia Hologram: Voice interface enabled.
The Doctor: Ah! Amelia Pond. Before I got it all wrong. My sweet little Amelia.
Amelia Hologram: I am not Amelia Pond. I am a voice interface.
The Doctor: Hey, let’s run away and have adventures. Come along, Pond.
Amelia Hologram: I am not Amelia Pond. I am a voice interface.
The Doctor: You are so Scottish. How am I doing?
Amelia Hologram: Your system has been contaminated by the poison of the Judas tree. You will be dead in thirty-two minutes.
The Doctor: Okay, so. Basically better regenerate, that’s what you’re saying.
Amelia Hologram: Regeneration disabled. You will be dead in thirty-two minutes.
The Doctor: Unless I’m cured, yeah?
Amelia Hologram: There is no cure. You will be dead in thirty-two minutes.
The Doctor: Why do you keep saying that?
Amelia Hologram: Because you will be dead in thirty-two minutes.
The Doctor: You see, there you go again. Basically skipping thirty-one whole minutes when I’m absolutely fine. Scottish, that’s all I’m saying.
Amelia Hologram: You will be fine for thirty-one minutes. You will be dead in thirty-two minutes.
The Doctor: Scotland’s never conquered anyone, you know. Not even a Shetland. River needs me. She’s only just beginning. I can’t die now.
Amelia Hologram: You will not die now. You will die in thirty-two minutes.
The Doctor: I’m going out in the first round! Ringing any bells? {he convulses} Okay. Need something for the pain now. Come on, Amelia. It’s me. Please.
Amelia Hologram: I am not Amelia Pond. I am a voice interface.
The Doctor: Amelia. Listen to me. I can be brave for you. But you have go to tell me how.
Amelia Hologram: I am not Amelia Pond. I am a voice interface.
The Doctor: Amelia… Amelia, please… I…
Amelia Hologram: Fish fingers and custard.
The Doctor: What did you say? Fish fingers and custard! {he laughs} Amelia Pond. Fish fingers and custard. Fish fingers and custard!
Rory: Okay, all of Berlin. How do we find her?
Amy: I don’t know. Look for clues.
Rory imitating her accent: “Clews”? What kind of “clews”?
Amy: Shut up!
Amy: How can we be in here? How do we fit?
Rory: Miniaturization ray.
Amy: How would you know that?
Rory: Well there was a ray and we were miniaturized.
Amy: Alright.
Antibody: Welcome. You are unauthorized. Your death will be implemented.
Amy: What’s that?
Rory: I don’t know. It’s your head.
Antibody: Please remain calm while your life is terminated.
Amy: We come in peace!
Rory: When has that ever worked?
Amy: Oh shut up.
Antibody: Please cooperate in your officially sanctioned termination. It is normal to experience fear during your incineration.
Amy: Stop! Or I sonic.
Rory: What are you doing?
Amy: Ah, I don’t know.
Rory: Okay, psychic interface. Just point and click.
Amy: I know, but what do I think?
Rory: I don’t know!
Amy: That man is my best friend. That woman is my daughter. You give him anything he wants.
Jim: If she’s family, she has privileges.
Anita: Okay, he’s finished.
Amy: Oh my god.
Carter: Well then let’s do what we do. Give her hell.
The Doctor: Amy! Rory! Amy! Can you hear me?
Amy: Yeah.
Carter handing her the radio: You can talk to him.
Amy: What do we do? This is me, this is me actually talking. What do we do?
The Doctor: Just stop them. She’s your daughter. Just stop them.
Amy: How? How?
The Doctor: Just do it!
Antibodies: You are unauthorized. Your death will now be implemented.
Amy: I love you.
Rory: I love you too.
River: I seem to be able to fly her. She showed me how. She taught me. The Doctor says I’m the child of the TARDIS. What does he mean?
Amy: Where is he?
Amy: You can’t die now. I know you don’t die now.
The Doctor: Oh Pond. You’ve got a schedule for everything.
Amy: But it doesn’t make any sense.
Rory: Doctor, what do we do? Come on. How do we help you?
The Doctor: No, I’m sorry, Rory. You can’t. Nobody can. Ponds. Listen to me. I need to talk to your daughter.
Amy: Are you still working? Because I’m still a relative. Access files on River Song.
Robot Amy: Records available.
Amy: Show me her. Show me River Song. {the face changes into River’s}
Amy: What did he say? The Doctor gave you a message for River Song. What was it? {River’s hands start to glow} What’s happening? River? What are you doing?
River: Just tell me. The Doctor. Is he worth it?
Amy: Yes! Yes, he is!
Amy: Hey.
River: Hey. Where am I?
Amy: You’re safe now. Apparently you used all your remaining regenerations in one go. You shouldn’t have done that.
River: Mother. I had to try.
Amy: I know.
River: He said no one could save him. But he must have known I could.
The Doctor: Rule One. The Doctor lies.
Nurse: She just needs to rest. She’ll be absolutely fine.
The Doctor: No. She won’t. {he puts a new blue diary on her nightstand} She will be amazing.
Amy: So that’s it, we just leave her there?
The Doctor: Sisters of the Infinite Schism. Greatest hospital in the universe.
Amy: Yeah, but she’s our daughter. Doctor, she’s River. And she’s our daughter.
The Doctor: Amy, I know. But we have to let her make her own way now. We have too much foreknowledge. {he looks at his death} Dangerous thing, foreknowledge.
Amy: What’s that?
The Doctor: Nothing! Just some data I downloaded from the Teselecta. Very boring.
Rory: Doctor, River was brainwashed to kill you, right?
The Doctor: Well she did kill me. And then she used her remaining lives to bring me back. As first dates go, I’d say that was mixed signals.
Rory: But that stuff that they put in her head. Is that gone now? The River that we know in the future. She is in prison for murder.
Amy: Whose murder?
Amy: Will we see her again?
The Doctor: Oh, she’ll come looking for us.
Amy: Yeah, but how? How do people even look for you?
The Doctor: Oh Pond, haven’t you figured that one out yet?

Night Terrors
The Doctor gets a message on the psychic paper
The Doctor: “Please save me from the monsters.” Haven’t done this in awhile.
Amy: Um. Done what? What are you doing?
The Doctor: Making a house call.
Rory: No offense, Doctor—
The Doctor: Meaning the opposite.
Rory: But we could get a bus somewhere like this.
The Doctor: The exact the opposite.
Amy: Well I suppose it can’t all be planets and history and stuff, Rory.
The Doctor: Yes it can. ’Course it can. Planets and history and stuff, that’s what we do. But not today, no. Today we’re answering a cry for help from the scariest place in the universe. A child’s bedroom.
Rory: “Please save me from the monsters.” Who sent that?
The Doctor: That’s what we’re here to find out.
Amy: Sounds like something a kid would say.
The Doctor: Exactly. A scared kid. A very scared kid. So scared that somehow his cry for help got through to us. In the TARDIS.
Amy: Yeah, but you’ve traced it here?
The Doctor: Exactly. {the elevator arrives} Ah! Going up.
Amy: We’ve got to find that kid.
Rory: Maybe we should let the monsters gobble him up.
Amy: Hey. Any luck?
The Doctor: Three old ladies, a traffic warden from Croatia and a man with ten cats.
Rory: What are we actually looking for?
The Doctor: Ten cats! Scared kid, remember?
Amy: I found, um, scary kids. Does that count?
Rory: Maybe it was, you know, junk mail.
Amy: What?
Rory: The message on the psychic paper. Maybe it was just nothing.
Rory: Amy? Amy? Are you here?
Amy: Here. Here! Ow. I’m here, it’s me.
Rory: You okay?
Amy: Yeah. I think so.
Rory: What happened to the lift? We were in a lift, weren’t we?
Amy: Yeah, yeah. We were, I remember getting in and then— {Rory groans} What?
Rory: We’re dead, aren’t we?
Amy: Eh?
Rory: The lift fell and we’re dead.
Amy: Shut up.
Rory: We’re dead. Again.
Amy: Oh shut up. Let’s just find out where we are.
Rory: You know it’s obvious what’s happened.
Amy: Yeah? Really? Because It’s not to me.
Rory: The TARDIS has gone funny again. Some time… slippy thing. You know the Doctor’s back there in EastEnders Land and we’re stuck here in the past. This is probably seventeen-hundred-and-something.
Amy: Yay. My favorite year.
Amy: Bit neglected, wherever it is.
Rory: Let’s find the front door at least. We can work out where we are. When we are.
Amy: Rory?
Rory: Hm.
Amy: Look at this.
Rory: Well, it’s a copper pan.
Amy: No, it’s not. It’s wood. It’s made of wood and just painted to look like copper.
Rory: That is stupid.
Amy: Wait, hang on. There’s a switch.
Rory: Well. Not seventeen-hundred-and-something.
Amy: Stop doing that.
Rory: It’s not me. {they look thoroughly freaked out} Come on.
Amy: Yep. Hang on. {she grabs the wooden copper pan}
Rory: Oh, at last. {he goes to open the door} Argh!
Amy: What is it?
Rory: No door knob. Wooden pans, a massive glass eye and now no door knob.
Amy: And this clock.
Rory: What?
Amy: Look. The hands, they’re painted on. {they hear a child’s laughter and footsteps}
Amy: They’re getting closer.
Rory: They?
Amy: It’s just a— It’s a dummy! It’s just a dummy.
Rory: This is weird.
Amy: Yeah, says the time-travelling nurse. Yeah, um, let’s just leave that for now. Come on.
Rory: Why aren’t there any lights? I miss lights. You don’t even miss things ’til they’re gone, do you? It’s like what my Nan used to say. You’ll never miss the water ’til the well runs dry.
Amy: Rory—
Rory: Except lights, I mean. Not water. Lights are great, aren’t they? I mean if this place is all lit up we wouldn’t be worried at all.
Amy: Rory. Panicking. A bit.
Rory: Yeah. Yeah. Sorry.
Jim rushing in: Help me, please! Keep them away from me! Keep them away! {the doll grabs him and turns him into another doll}
Amy: I take it all back. Panic now.
Amy: Was I—?
Rory: Yeah.
The Doctor: Come on, you two. Things to do. People to see. Whole civilizations to save. You feeling okay?
Amy: Um, I think so.
The Doctor: And it’s good to be all back together again. In the flesh.
The Doctor: Now, did someone mention something about planets and history and stuff?
Rory: Yeah.
The Doctor: Where do you want to go?
Amy: Um…
The Doctor: Mind’s gone blank.
Amy: Well I have just been turned into a wooden dolly.
The Doctor: Excuses excuses.
Rory: It’s tough though. It’s like being given three wishes. The whole universe?
The Doctor: Or universes. Oo! Three wishes. Ali Baba. How about that?

The Girl Who Waited
The Doctor pointing: Appalapachia!
Amy: Say it again.
The Doctor: Appalapachia!
Amy: Appalapa-
The Doctor: Chia!
Rory: Appalapachia.
The Doctor: Appalapachia!
Amy: Appalapachia. What a beautiful word.
The Doctor: Beautiful word. Beautiful world. Appalapachia. 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. Appalapachia, I give you sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades! I give you—
Rory: Doors.
The Doctor: Doors. Yes, I, I give you doors. But on the other side of those doors I give you sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades.
Amy: Have you seen my phone?
The Doctor: Your phone?
Amy: Yeah.
The Doctor: Your mobile telephone. I bring you to a paradise planet two billion light years from Earth and you want to update Twitter.
Amy: Sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades. It’s a camera phone.
The Doctor: On the counter by the DVDs.
Amy: Thank you.
Amy: Where I am? In fact, where are you?
The Doctor: Hands! Hello Hands! Robot with hands, Rory.
Hand-Bot: Welcome to the Two Streams facility. Will you be visiting long?
Amy: Uh Doctor. Something’s opening.
The Doctor: Amy! Stay calm! Stay still! Ah, time’s gone wobbly. I hate it when it does that.
Amy: And where have you been? I’ve been here a week.
The Doctor: A week!
Rory: A week?!
The Doctor: I’m so sorry. Aha! Same room, different times. Two different time streams running parallel but at different speeds. Amy, you’re in a faster time stream!
The Doctor: Amy what exactly did you do?
Amy: I just, I came in and I pressed the door button.
Rory: Oh… Amy, there are two buttons. The green anchor and the red waterfall. Which one did you push?
Amy: I pushed the red waterfall.
Amy: Rory. I love you. Now save me. Go on.
Voice of Interface (Imelda Staunton): Welcome to the Two Streams Facility.
Amy: Um, who are you and why can’t I see you?
Voice: I am the interface between yourself and the systems of the Two Streams Facility. I will be your guide, your teacher, your friend.
Check-in Girl (Josie Taylor): Welcome to Two Streams. What is your name please?
Amy: Amy. Amy Pond.
Check-in Girl: Welcome Amy Pond. I see you are travelling alone. As a resident, you will now have access to all of the entertainment zones inside. For a taste of adventure, why not try the mountain zone, and explore Appalapachia’s famous glass mirror mountains. Or try our rollercoaster zone. Authentically modeled on the famous Warp Speed Death Ride at Disneyland Klom. All that you could wish for and more is through the departure gate. Provided for you, with kindness.
Interface: Unexpected Visitor, welcome. Please seek assistance.
Amy: Hello? Hey! Oy. Wait.
Hand Bot: You are carrying unregistered bacteria. Please let me help you.
Amy: No. I’m not from this world. Your medicine will kill me.
Hand Bot: Statement rejected. Do not be alarmed. This is a kindness.
Amy: No no, please! I hate needles!
Hand Bot: Secondary delivery system engaged. Unauthorized infection on check-in. Version 223.
Amy: Interface?
Interface: I am here, Amy Pond.
Interface: Cinema. Aquarium. Garden.
Amy: Garden? Why not.
Amy: It is beautiful. I mean, freaky hedges…
Interface: A perfect replica of the Shill Governor’s mansion on Shillana.
Amy: I really could spend a lifetime here. Not that I’m going to.
Amy: Interface?
Interface: Amy Pond.
Amy: Listen, I need somewhere safe to hide and wait for my friends. Where in Two Streams is safe?
Interface: Two Streams is a safe, nurturing environment.
Amy: You know what I mean. Where can I go so the Hand-Bots can’t find me? {silence}. Um. Before, I was stood by a sort of vent and there was light and smoke and the Hand-Bots couldn’t see me. Why not? {silence}. Okay, I will put it another way. What were those vent thingies?
Interface: The vents channel the exhaust fumes from the temporal engines that hold the multiple time streams in place.
Amy: And these temporal engines mess up the hand bots sensors, so where’s the temporal engines?
Interface: Temporal engines held within.
Future Amy: I waited.
Rory: Sorry, what?
Future Amy: I waited for you. I waited!
Rory: Amy. Doctor, what’s going on?
The Doctor: Ah. I think the time stream lock might be a bit wobbly.
Rory: Look, please please—
Future Amy: Duck.
Future Amy: The only way I’ve survived this long is by making the hand-bots think I don’t exist. Don’t touch the hands. There’s an anesthetic transfer in the hands. If they touch you, you go to sleep.
Rory: But you’re still here.
Future Amy: You didn’t save me.
Rory: But this is the saving! This is the us saving you. The Doctor just got the timing a bit out!
The Doctor mouthing: Sorry.
Future Amy: I’ve been on my own here a long long time. I’ve had decades to think nice thoughts about him, got a bit harder to stay charitable once I entered decade four.
Rory: Forty years. Alone?
Future Amy: Thirty-six years. Thanks.
Rory: Oh. Right. I mean. You look great. Really.
Future Amy: Eyes front, soldier.
Rory: Still can’t win then.
Future Amy: In fact I think I can now definitely say I hate him. I hate the Doctor. I hate him more than I have ever hated anyone in my life and you can here every word of this through those ridiculous glasses, can’t you, Raggedy Man?
The Doctor: Ah. Yes. Putting the speakerphone on.
Future Amy: You told me to wait and I did. A lifetime. You’ve got nothing to say to me?
The Doctor: Amy, behind you!
Future Amy: Feedback. Knocks them out. Learned that trick on my first day.
Future Amy: I got old, Rory. What did you think was going to happen?
Rory: Hey! I don’t care that you got old. I care that we didn’t grow old together. Amy, come on, please.
Future Amy: Don’t touch me. Don’t do that.
Rory: It’s like you’re not even her.
Future Amy: Thirty-six years, three months, four days of solitary confinement. This facility was built to give people a chance to live. I walked in here and I died.
Future Amy: Do you have anything to say? Anything, Doctor?
The Doctor: Where did you get a sonic screwdriver?
Future Amy: I made it. And it’s a sonic probe.
Rory: You made a sonic screwdriver?
Future Amy: Probe.
Rory: You named him after me?
Future Amy: Needed a bit of company.
Rory: So he’s like your—
Future Amy: Pet.
Future Amy: Oh don’t get sentimental. It’s just a robot. You’d have done the same.
The Doctor: I don’t know that I would have.
Future Amy: And there he is, the voice of God. Survive. Because no one’s gonna come for you. Number one lesson. You taught me that.
The Doctor: Is that really all I taught you?
Future Amy: Don’t you lecture me. Blue Box Man, flying through time and space on whimsy. All I’ve got, all I’ve had for thirty-six years is cold hard reality. So, no, I don’t have a sonic screwdriver because I’m not off on a romp. Call it what it is. A probe. And I call my life what it is. Hell.
Future Amy: Stay or go?
Rory: Sorry, me? No. I’m coming with you.
Future Amy: Then try not to get killed. Or do. Whatever.
Future Amy putting on the glasses: They look ridiculous.
Rory: That’s what I told him. Still, anything beats a fez, eh? {they both laugh} What is it?
Future Amy: I think that’s the first time I’ve laughed in thirty-six years.
Rory: You saved me.
Future Amy: Don’t get used to it.
Rory: You’ve been crying. A little bit.
Future Amy: Shut up, Rory.
Rory: You have,
haven’t you?
Future Amy: Woman with a sword. Don’t push it.
The Doctor: Amy, I just need to borrow your brain a minute. It won’t hurt probably. Almost probably. And then, Amy Pond, I’m going to save you.
Future Amy: No! Time’s up. Hand-bot’s coming.
Rory: Why won’t you help yourself?
Future Amy: He wants to rescue past-me from thirty-six years back which means I’ll cease to exist. Everything I’ve seen and done dissolves. Time is rewritten.
Rory: That’s, that’s good, isn’t it?
Future Amy: I will die. And other-Amy will take my place. An Amy who never got trapped at Two Streams. An Amy who grew old with you, and she in thirty-six years won’t be me.
Rory: But you’ll die in here!
Future Amy: Not if you take me with you. You came to rescue me, so rescue me.
Rory: Leave her and take you?
The Doctor: We could take this Amy with us, easy. But if we do then our Amy has to wait thirty-six years to be rescued.
Rory: So I have to choose. Which wife do I want.
Future Amy: She is me. We’re both me.
Rory: You being here is wrong! For a single day, an hour. Let alone a lifetime. I swore to protect you. I promised.
Rory: Look me in the face and say you won’t help her.
Future Amy: I will not help her.
Amy: Rory, where are you?
Rory: Same place as you. A bit ahead.
Future Amy: I remember this.
Amy: Who’s she? There’s no one else here.
Amy: Why are we still here?
Future Amy: Because they leave you. Because they get in their TARDIS and they fly away.
Amy: No. Rory wouldn’t. Not ever. Something must have stopped him.
Future Amy: You did. Or rather, the old version of you. The me version of you. I refused to help them. I won’t let them save myself.
Amy: Why?
Future Amy: If you escape then I was never trapped here. The last thirty-six years of my life rewrites and I cease to exist. That’s why old me refused to help then. That’s why I’m refusing to help now. And that’s why you’ll refuse to help when it’s your turn. And nothing you can say will change that.
Amy: Three words: What about Rory?
Future Amy: Rory? I called my robot Rory.
Amy: You called your robot Rory. So you didn’t call it the Doctor. Or Biggles. Our favorite cat?
Future Amy: All those boys chasing me, but it was only ever Rory. Why was that?
Amy: You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they’re as dull as a brick? Then there’s other people, when you meet them you think, “Not bad. They’re okay.” And then you get to know them and… and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality’s written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful.
Both: Rory’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever met.
Amy: Please. Do it for him.
Future Amy: Ah, you. You’re asking me to defy destiny, causality, the nexus of time itself, for a boy.
Amy: You’re Amy. He’s Rory. And oh yes, I am.
Future Amy: I’m gonna pull time apart for you.
Future Amy: Okay, Doctor. Two Streams is back on-air. Right, okay, so this is big news. This is temporal earthquake time. I’m now officially changing my own future. Hold on to your spectacles. In my past, I saw my future self refuse to help you. I’m now changing that future and agreeing. Every law of time says that shouldn’t be possible.
The Doctor: Yes, except sometimes knowing your own future is what enables you to change it, especially if you’re bloody-minded, contradictory and completely unpredictable.
Rory: So basically if you’re Amy then.
The Doctor: Yes, if anyone could defeat predestiny, it’s your wife.
Future Amy: I’m trusting you to watch my back, Rory.
Rory: Always. You and me, always.
Future Amy: ‘Cause here’s the deal: you take me too. In the TARDIS. Me too.
Rory: But that means there’ll be two of you permanently. Forever.
Future Amy: And that way we both get to live.
Rory: Two Amys together. Can that work?
The Doctor: I don’t know. It’s your marriage.
Rory: Doctor.
The Doctor: Perhaps. Maybe if I shunted the reality compensators on the TARDIS, recalibrated the Doomsday bumpers and jettisoned the karaoke bar, yes. Maybe, yes. It could do it. The TARDIS could sustain the paradox.
The Doctor: Future Amy, could I borrow your sonic screwdr— it’s a probe.
Future Amy: It’s a screwdriver.
Amy: So you think you’re going to come with us, just like that?
Future Amy: Yeah. Just like that.
Amy: Rory, talk to her.
Future Amy: Rory, talk to her.
Rory: Now, ladies.
Amy: Where are you going to live?
Future Amy: Not with you, don’t worry. I’ll go travelling. Pop back for Christmas, maybe Easter.
Rory: Amy, you always said cooking Christmas dinner you wish there were two of you.
Future Amy: Go! I’ve got your back!
Future Amy: The look on your face when you carried her… me… her. When you carried her, you used to look at me like that. I’d forgotten how much you loved me. I’d forgotten how much I loved being her. Amy Pond in the TARDIS with Rory Williams.
Rory: I’m sorry, I can’t do this.
Future Amy: If you love me, don’t let me in. Open that door, I will. I’ll come in. I don’t want to die. I won’t bow out bravely, I’ll scream and fight to the end.
Rory: Amy. Amy I love you.
Future Amy: I love you too. Don’t let me in. Tell Amy—your Amy—I’m giving her the days. The days with you. Days to come. The days I can’t have. Take them please. I’m giving her my days.
Rory: I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.
Hand Bot: Do not be alarmed. This is a kindness.
Future Amy: Interface?
Interface: I am here, Amy Pond.
Future Amy: Show me Earth. Show me home. Did I ever tell you about this boy I met there, who pretended to be in a band….
Rory: You all right? {she nods} How’re you feeling?
Amy: Where is she?

The God Complex
Amy: “Let’s go to Ravan-Skala,” he says. “The people are six hundred feet tall, you have to talk to them in hot air balloons, and the tourist information center is made of one of their hats,” he says. I’m sorry, but I don’t see any huge hats.
The Doctor: Amy, B-key. This could be the most exciting thing I have ever seen.
Rory: You’re kidding.
Amy: How can you be excited about a rubbish hotel on a rubbish bit of earth?
The Doctor: Because, assembled Ponds, this is not Earth. This has just been made to look like Earth. The craftsmanship involved, can you imagine?
Amy: What? And where are we?
The Doctor: I don’t know. Something must have yanked us off-course. Look at the detail on that cheese plant!
Rory: Right, but who would mock up an Earth hotel?
The Doctor: Colonists maybe. Recreating a bit of home. Like when ex-pats open English pubs in Majorca. No, whoever did this I’m shaking his-stroke-her hand-stroke-tentacle.
Rory: Have you seen these? Look at the labels underneath. “Commander Halke: Defeat.” “Tim Heath: Having his photo taken.” “Lady Silver Tear: Daleks.”
Amy: “Heath Barnes: Other people’s socks.” “Tim Nelson: Balloons.” “Novice Prin: Saberwolves.” “Royston Luke Gold: Plymouth.” “Lucy Hayward: That brutal gorilla.” Doctor, what does it mean?
The Doctor: I don’t know. Let’s find out.
Rita: Okay, I need everyone to shut up now!
Howie: Rita, be careful, yeah?
Rita: Pupils are dilated. They are as surprised as we are. Besides which, if it is a trick it’ll tell us something.
The Doctor: Oh you’re good. Oh, she’s good. Amy, with regret, you’re fired.
Amy: What?
The Doctor: I’m kidding. {to Rita} We’ll talk.
Amy: Whatever that is, it’s not real. Yeah?
The Doctor: No. No. I’m sure it isn’t. But just in case let’s run away and hide anyway.
Amy: Don’t blink.
Howie: What?
The Doctor: Why haven’t they got us yet? {he touches one} Amy, they’re not real.
Amy: What?
The Doctor: They should have got us by now. Amy, look at me. Focus on me. It’s your bad dream, that’s all.
Rory: I don’t think they’re for us.
Amy: If it’s any consolation I’ve met the Weeping Angels. So I know how… In fact, I thought that room was for me.
Gibbis: Joe was right. Whatever it is in here, it actually wants to kill us. Not oppress us or enslave us. Kill us!
The Doctor: Howie, you’re next. We’re all dead jealous. So tell us. How do we get a piece of the action? Why isn’t he possessing all of us?
Howie: You guys have got all these distractions. All these obstacles. It’d be so much easier if you just let it go, you know? Give up.
Amy: You want it to find you, even though you know what it’s gonna do?
Howie: Are you kidding? He’s going to kill us all. How cool is that?
The Doctor: It’s as I thought, it feeds on fear. Everything—the rooms, Lucy’s note, I mean even the pictures in reception—has been put here to frighten us. So we have to resist it. Do whatever you have to. Push your fingers, say a prayer, think of a basket of kittens. But do not give in to the fear.
Amy: Okay, but what are we actually going to do?
The Doctor: We’re going to catch ourselves a monster.
Rita: How’s it going?
Amy: Don’t talk to the clown!
Rita: You shouldn’t have done that. What did you see?
Amy: Nothing. Nothing. I don’t know, it was weird.
Rita: Come on.
The Doctor: Okay. It preys on the people’s fear and possesses them. But Rita wasn’t afraid. She was brave and calm. Maybe it’s something to do with the people. Some connection between the four of you that will tell me how to fight it.
Gibbis: Yes, you keep on saying that but you never do. And while we wait people keep dying and we’ll be next!
Amy: Look, he’ll work it out. He always does. Just let him riff and move anything expensive out of his way.
The Doctor: Oh no. Oh no no no.
Amy: Doctor, what is wrong?
The Doctor: It’s not fear. It’s faith. Not just religious faith, faith in something. Howie believed in conspiracies, that external forces controlled the world. Joe had dice cufflinks and a chain with a horseshoe—he was a gambler. Gamblers believe in luck. An intangible force that helps them win or lose. Gibbis has rejected any personal autonomy and he’s waiting for the next batch of invaders to oppress him and tell him what to do. They all believe there’s something guiding them, about to save them. That’s what it replaces. Every time someone was confronted with their most primal fear they fell back on their most fundamental faith. And all this time I’ve been telling you to dig deep, find the thing that keeps you brave. I made you expose your faith. Showed them what they needed.
Rory: But why us? Why are we here?
The Doctor: It doesn’t want you. That’s why it kept showing you a way out. You’re not religious or superstitious so there’s no faith for you to fall back on. It wants her.
Amy: Me? Why?
The Doctor: Your faith in me. That’s what brought us here.
Rory: But why do they lose their faith before they die and start worshipping… it?
The Doctor: It needs to convert their faith into a form it can consume. Faith is an energy—a specific emotional energy the creature needs to live. Which is why at the end of her note, Lucy said—
Amy: Praise him.
The Doctor: Exactly.
Amy: Doctor, it’s happening. It’s changing me. It’s changing my thoughts.
The Doctor: I can’t save you from it. There’s nothing I can do to stop this.
Amy: What?
The Doctor: I stole your childhood and now I’ve led you by the hand to your death. But the worst thing is I knew. I knew this would happen. This is what always happens. Forget your faith in me. I took you with me because I was vain. Because I wanted to be adored. Look at you, glorious Pond. The Girl Who Waited for me. I’m not a hero. I really am just a madman in a box. And it’s time we saw each other as we really are. Amy Williams. It’s time to stop waiting.
Amy: What is it? A minotaur? Or an alien? Or an alien minotaur? That’s not a question I thought I’d be asking this morning.
The Doctor: It’s both actually.
Amy: It didn’t want just me. So you must believe in some God or someone or it would have shown you the door too. So what do Time Lords pray to?
The Doctor: According to the in-flight recorder, the program developed glitches. Got stuck on the same setting. The fears from the people before us weren’t tidied away.
Amy: What’s it saying?
The Doctor: An ancient creature, drenched in the blood of the innocents. Drifting in space through an endless shifting maze. Such a creature, death would be a gift. Then accept it. And sleep well. {he pauses} I wasn’t talking about myself.
Amy: Don’t tell me, this isn’t Earth, that isn’t a real house, and inside lives a goblin who feeds on indecision.
The Doctor: Nope. Real Earth. Real house. Real door keys.
Amy: You’re not serious.
Rory: The car too? But that’s my favorite car. How did you know that was my favorite car?
The Doctor: You showed me a picture once, said “That’s my favorite car.”
Amy: Rory, it’s too much. Tell him.
Rory: She’ll say that we can’t accept it because it’s too expensive, and we’ll always feel a crippling sense of obligation. {looks at the car} It’s a risk I’m willing to take.
Amy: So. You’re leaving, aren’t you?
The Doctor: You haven’t seen the last of me. Bad penny is my middle name. Seriously, the looks I get when I fill in a form.
Amy: Why now?
The Doctor: Because you’re still breathing.
Amy: Well I think this is about the washing up. Personally.
The Doctor: I mean you’re right. There’s still heaps of stuff out there to look at. Did you know, there’s a planet who’s name literally translates as “volatile sex.” Or maybe there’s a bigger, scarier adventure waiting for you in there.
Amy: Even so, it can’t happen like this. After everything we’ve been through, Doctor. Everything. You can’t just drop me off at my house and say goodbye like we shared a cab.
The Doctor: And what’s the alternative? Me standing over your grave? Over your broken body. Over Rory’s body.
Amy: You bump into my daughter, tell her to visit her old mum sometime.
The Doctor: Look after him.
Amy: Look after you.
Rory: What happened? What’s he doing?
Amy: He’s saving us.

The Wedding of River Song
SWAT Guy: Keep the Silence in sight at all times! And keep your iDrives active!
Churchill: Who the Devil are you? Identify yourselves!
Amy: Pond. Amelia Pond. {Churchill aims}
The Doctor: No, she’s on our side. it’s okay, Winston. {notices the eye patch}. No. No, Amy. Amy. Why are you wearing that?
The Doctor: Amy.
Amy: Those stun guns aren’t fun. I’m sorry. I wanted to avoid a long conversation. You need to get up though. We’ll be in Cairo shortly.
The Doctor: Amy Pond. Amelia Pond from Leadworth, please listen to me. I know it seems impossible but you know me. In another version of reality you and I, we’re best friends. We travel together, we had adventures. Amelia Pond, you grew up with a time rift in the wall of your bedroom. You can see what others can’t. You can remember things that never happened. And if you try, if you really really try, you’ll be able to— {notices he’s brandishing a TARDIS model} Oh.
Amy: You look rubbish.
The Doctor: You look wonderful.
Amy: So do you. But don’t worry. {she pulls out his suit} We’ll soon fix that.
The Doctor: Oh. Geronimo.
The Doctor: Okay, you can turn around now. How do I look?
Amy: Cool.
The Doctor: Really?
Amy: No.
The Doctor: Cool office though. Why do you have an office? Are you like a special agent boss lady or something? Not sure about the eye patch though.
Amy: it’s not an eye patch. Time’s gone wrong. Some of us noticed. There’s a whole team of us working on it. You’ll see.
The Doctor: And you’ve got an office on a train. That is so cool. Can I have an office? Never had an office before. Or a train. Or a train-slash-office.
Amy: God, I’ve missed you!
The Doctor: Okay. Hugging and missing now. Where’s the Roman?
Amy: You mean Rory? My husband, Rory, yeah? {she grabs a drawing} That’s him, isn’t it? I have no idea. I can’t find him but I love him very much, don’t I? {it’s not Rory}
The Doctor: Apparently.
Amy: I have to keep doing this, writing and drawing things. It’s just so hard to keep remembering.
The Doctor: It’s not your fault. Time’s gone wrong. Do you remember why?
Amy: Lakeside.
The Doctor: Lake Silencio, Utah. I died.
Amy: But then you didn’t die. See, I remember it twice, different ways.
The Doctor: Two different versions of the same event. Both happening in the same moment. Time split wide open. Now look at it. All of history happening at once.
Amy: What does it matter? I mean, can’t we just stay like this?
The Doctor: Time isn’t just frozen, it’s disintegrating. It will spread and spread and all of reality will simply fall apart.
The Doctor: Amy, you’ll find your Rory. You always do. But you really have to look.
Amy: I am looking.
The Doctor: Oh, my Amelia Pond. You don’t always look hard enough.
Amy: Why are you older? If time isn’t really passing then how can you be aging?
The Doctor: Time is still passing for me. Every explosion has an epicenter. I’m it. I’m what’s wrong.
Amy: What’s wrong with you?
The Doctor: I’m still alive.
Area 52
Rory: You have to put it on, sir.
The Doctor: An eye patch? What for?
Amy: It’s not an eye patch.
Rory: It’s an iDrive, sir. It communicates directly with the memory centers of the brain. Acts as external storage.
Amy: Only thing that works on them. Because no living mind can remember these things.
Rory: The Silence. We’ve captured over a hundred of them now. All held in this pyramid.
The Doctor: Yeah. I’ve encountered them before. Always wondered what they looked like.
Amy: Well put your iDrive on and you’ll retain the information, but only for as long as you’re wearing it.
The Doctor: The Silence have human servants. They all wear these.
Amy: They’d have to.
Rory: They seem to be noticing you.
The Doctor: Yeah. They would.
Amy: So why aren’t the human race killing the Silence on sight anymore?
The Doctor: That was a whole other reality. What are the tanks for?
Rory: They can draw electricity from anything. It’s how they attack. The fluid insulates them. And I really don’t like the way they’re looking at you.
The Doctor: Me neither.
Rory: Ma’am, I’m sure it’s nothing but I should really check this out. They haven’t been this active in awhile. You two, upstairs. Check all the tank seals, then the floors above. Get everyone checking.
The Doctor: Captain Williams, Nice fella. What’s his first name?
Amy: Captain.
Amy: We’re in. He’s on his way.
The Doctor: Loyal soldier, waiting to be noticed. Always the pattern. Why is that?
Rory: Sorry sir.
The Doctor: Your boss, you should just ask her out. She likes you. She said so.
Rory: Really sir? What did she say?
The Doctor: Well she just sort of generally indicated—
Rory: What exactly did she say?
The Doctor: She said that you were a Mr. Hottie… ness. And that she would like to go out with you for texting and scones.
Rory: You really haven’t done this before, have you?
The Doctor: No I haven’t.
Amy: Come on, Doctor. Time for you to meet some old friends.
Rory: Attention all personnel, attention all personnel. Please check all the site containment units.
Amy noticing the water dripping: Doctor. What’s that?
The Doctor: We could stop this right now, you and I. Amy, tell her.
Amy: We’ve been working on something. Just let us show you.
The Doctor: No point. There’s nothing you can do. My time is up.
Amy: We’re doing this for you!
The Doctor: And people are dying for me. I won’t thank you for that, Amelia Pond.
River: Just let us show you.
Amy: Please! Captain Williams, how long do we have?
Rory: A couple of minutes.
River: That’s enough. We’re going to the receptor room right at the top of the pyramid. I hope you’re ready for a climb.
Rory: I’ll wait down here, ma’am. Buy you as much time as I can.
Amy: You have to take your iDrive off.
Rory: Can’t do that, ma’am. I’ll forget what’s coming.
Amy: But it could activate any second.
Rory: It has activated, ma’am. I’m of no use to you if I can’t remember. You have to go now! Ma’am!
Amy: Yes. Yes. Thank you, Captain Williams. {she leaves}
Silent: Rory Williams. The man who dies and dies again. Die one last time, and know she will never come back for you. {she comes back for him}
Amy: Come on you, up you get. You alright?
Madame Kovarian: Amy. Help me.
Amy: You took my baby from me and hurt her. And now she’s all grown up and she’s fine. But I’ll never see my baby again.
Madame Kovarian: But you’ll still save me though. Because he would. And you’d never do anything to disappoint your precious Doctor.
Rory: Ma’am, we have to go. Now.
Amy: The Doctor is very precious to me, you’re right. But do you know what else he is, Madame Kovarian? Not here. {she puts her iDrive back on her} River Song didn’t get it all from you. Sweetie.
Amy: So, you and me. We should get a drink sometime.
Rory: Okay.
Amy: And married.
Rory: Fine.
The Doctor: River— River! Why do you have to be this? Melody Pond—your daughter. I hope you’re both proud!
Rory: I’m not sure I completely understand.
Amy: Ah, we got married and had a kid and that’s her.
Rory: Okay.
The Doctor: Amy, uncuff me now. {she does}. Okay, I need a strip of cloth about a foot long. Anything will do. {grabbing his tie} Never mind. River, take one end of this, wrap it around your hand, and hold it out to me.
River: What am I doing?
The Doctor: As you’re told. Now. In the middle of a combat zone so we’ll have to do the quick version.
Captain Williams, say, “I consent and gladly give.”
Rory: To what?
The Doctor: Just say it! Please.
Rory: I consent and gladly give.
The Doctor: I need you to say it too, mother-of-the-bride.
Amy: I consent and gladly give.
The Doctor: Now, River. I’m about to whisper something in your ear and you have to remember it very very carefully and tell no one what I said {he whispers}. I just told you my name. Now. There you go, River Song. Melody Pond. You’re the woman who married me. And wife, I have a request. This world is dying and it’s my fault. And I can’t bear it another day. Please, help me. There isn’t another way.
River: Then you may kiss the bride.
The Doctor: I’ll make it a good one.
River: You better.
Amy: Heard there was a freak meteor shower two miles away. So I got us a bottle.
River: Thank you dear.
Amy: So, where are we?
River: I just climbed out of the Byzantium. You were there. So young. Didn’t have a clue who I was. You’re funny like that. Where are you?
Amy: The Doctor’s dead.
River: How are you doing?
Amy: How do you think?
River: Well I don’t know unless you tell me.
Amy: I killed someone. Madame Kovarian. In cold blood.
River: In an aborted timeline. In a world that never was.
Amy: Yeah, but I can remember it, so it happened. So I did it. What does that make me now? I need to talk to the Doctor but I can’t now, can I?
River: If you could talk to him, would it make a difference?
Amy: He’s dead so, so I can’t.
River: Oh, Mother. Of course he isn’t.
Amy: Not for you, I suppose. You’re seeing the younger versions of him. Running around having adventures.
River: Yeah, I am. But that’s not what I mean.
Amy: Then what do you mean?
River: Okay. I’m going to tell you what I probably shouldn’t. The Doctor’s last secret. Don’t you want to know what he whispered in my ear.
Amy: He whispered his name.
River: Not his name, no.
Amy: Yeah it was. He said it was.
River: Rule one?
Amy: The Doctor lies.
River: So do I. All the time. Have to. Spoilers. Pretending I don’t know you’re my mother. Pretending I didn’t recognize the space suit in Florida.
Amy: What did he whisper in your ear?
River: Oh… that man. He’s always one step ahead of everyone. Always a plan.
Amy: River. What did he tell you? River?
Rory: Are you sure? I mean really completely sure.
River: Of course I’m sure. I’m his wife.
Amy: And I’m his— mother-in-law.
River: Father dear, I think mummy might need another drink.
