The Name of the Doctor

“I don't know where I am. It's like I'm breaking into a million pieces and there's only one thing I remember. I have to save the Doctor.”

“Do you hear the Whisper Men? The Whisper Men are near. If you hear the Whisper Men, then turn away your ear. Do not hear the Whisper men, whatever else you do. For once you've heard the Whisper Men, they'll stop and look at you.”

“ (Looking at Trenzalor) Okay, so that's where I end up. Always thought maybe I'd retire. Take up watercolours or bee-keeping, or something. Apparently not.”

STRAX: There we go. Just a standard electro-cardio restart. She'll be fine.

VASTRA: Are you all right, my love? Can you hear me?

STRAX: The heart is a relatively simple thing.

VASTRA: I have not found it to be so.

“I died saving him. In return, he saved me to a database in the biggest library in the universe. Left me like a book on a shelf. Didn't even say goodbye. He doesn't like endings.”

“Look, my name, my real name, that is not the point. The name I chose is the Doctor. The name you choose, it's like, it's like a promise you make. He's the one who broke the promise.”

(River's image goes to hit the Doctor, and he catches her arm in his hand.)

RIVER: How are you even doing that? I'm not really here.

DOCTOR: You are always here to me. And I always listen, and I can always see you.

RIVER: It's hard to leave when you haven't said goodbye.

DOCTOR: Then tell me, because I don't know. How do I say it?

RIVER: There's only one way I'd accept. If you ever loved me, say it like you're going to come back.

DOCTOR: Well, then. See you around, Professor River Song.

RIVER: Till the next time, Doctor.

DOCTOR: Don't wait up.
