AMY: That's a Roman Legion. DOCTOR: Well, yeah. The Romans invaded Britain several times during this period. AMY: Oh, I know. My favourite topic at school. Invasion of the hot Italians. Yeah, I did get marked down for the title. — The Pandorica Opens DOCTOR: You graffitied the oldest cliff face in the universe. RIVER: You wouldn't answer your phone. — The Pandorica Opens DOCTOR: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world. AMY: How did it end up in there? DOCTOR: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it. RIVER: I hate good wizards in fairy tales. They always turn out to be him. — The Pandorica Opens “Never ignore coincidence. Unless, of course, you’re busy. In which case, always ignore coincidence.” — Eleventh Doctor, The Pandorica Opens “Yes. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Dalek fleet, minimum twelve thousand battleships, armed to the teeth. Ah! But we've got surprise on our side. They'll never expect three people to attack twelve thousand Dalek battleships. Because we'd be killed instantly. So it would be a fairly short surprise. Forget surprise.” — Eleventh Doctor, The Pandorica Opens RIVER: When you fight Barbarians, what must they think of you? COMMANDER: Oh, riddles now. RIVER: Where do they think you come from? COMMANDER: A place more deadly and more powerful and more impatient than their tiny minds can imagine. (River uses her gun to disintegrate a wooden stand.) RIVER: Where do I come from? Your world has visitors. You're all Barbarians now. — The Pandorica Opens “Sorry, sorry, dropped it. Hello, Stonehenge! Who takes the Pandorica, takes the universe. But bad news, everyone, because guess who? Ha! Listen, you lot, you're all whizzing about. It's really very distracting. Could you all just stay still a minute because I am talking! The question of the hour is, who's got the Pandorica? Answer, I do. Next question. Who's coming to take it from me? Come on! Look at me. No plan, no back up, no weapons worth a damn. Oh, and something else. I don't have anything to lose! So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceship, with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way. Remember every black day I ever stopped you, and then, and then, do the smart thing. Let somebody else try first.” — Eleventh Doctor, The Pandorica Opens RORY: But I don't understand. Why am I here? DOCTOR: Because you are. The universe is big. It's vast and complicated and ridiculous, and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles, and that's the theory. Nine hundred years, never seen one yet, but this would do me. Now get upstairs. She's Amy and she's surrounded by Romans. I'm not sure history can take it. — The Pandorica Opens DOCTOR: You lot, working together. An alliance. How is that possible? WHITE DALEK: The cracks in the skin of the universe. STARK: All reality is threatened. CYBERLEADER: All universes will be deleted. DOCTOR: What? And you've come to me for help? STARK: No. We will save the universe from you! — The Pandorica Opens Login to track and rate! View Rating Distribution Ratings are from TARDIS Guide members only.
