The Doctor, in the museum, wearing a fez

DOCTOR: Hi, honey. I'm home.

RIVER: And what sort of time do you call this?

The Big Bang

RIVER: Right then, I have questions, but number one is this. What in the name of sanity have you got on your head?

DOCTOR: It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool.

DALEK: You will be exterminated!

RIVER: Not yet. Your systems are still restoring, which means your shield density is compromised. One Alpha Mezon burst through your eyestalk would kill you stone dead.

DALEK: Records indicate you will show mercy. You are an associate of the Doctor's.

RIVER: I'm River Song. Check your records again.

DALEK: Mercy.

RIVER: Say it again.

DALEK: Mercy!

RIVER: One more time.

DALEK: Mercy!

“We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?”

— Eleventh Doctor, The Big Bang

AMY: Something old. Something new. Something borrowed. Something blue.

AMY: Okay, Doctor. Did I surprise you this time?

DOCTOR: Er, yeah. Completely astonished. Never expected that. How lucky I happened to be wearing this old thing. Hello, everyone. I'm Amy's imaginary friend. But I came anyway.

DOCTOR: You tell me.

RIVER: Spoilers.

DOCTOR: Sorry, something's come up. This will have to be goodbye.

AMY: Goodbye! Goodbye.
