The Wedding of River Song

DORIUM: Hello? Is someone there? Ah, Doctor. Thank God it's you. The Monks, they turned on me.

DOCTOR: Well, I'm afraid they rather did, a bit.

DORIUM: Give it to me straight, Doctor. How bad are my injuries?

DOCTOR: Well-

DORIUM: Ha, ha! Oh, your face.

“On the Fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the Eleventh, when no living creature can speak falsely, or fail to answer, a question will be asked. A question that must never, ever be answered.”

DOCTOR: Suppose there was a man who knew a secret. A terrible, dangerous secret that must never be told. How would you erase that secret from the world? Destroy it forever, before it can be spoken.

CHURCHILL: If I had to, I'd destroy the man.

DOCTOR: And silence would fall. All the times I've heard those words, I never realised it was my silence, my death. The Doctor will fall.

DOCTOR: Been knocking about. A bit of a farewell tour. Things to do, people to see. There's always more. I could invent a new colour, save the Dodo, join the Beatles. I have got a time machine, Dorium. It's all still going on. For me, it never stops. Liz the First is still waiting in a glade to elope with me. I could help Rose Tyler with her homework. I could go on all of Jack's stag parties in one night.

DORIUM: Time catches up with us all, Doctor.

DOCTOR: Well, it has never laid a glove on me!

“Amy and Rory. The last Centurion and the girl who waited. However dark it got, I'd turn around, and there they'd be. If it's time to go, remember what you're leaving. Remember the best. My friends have always been the best of me.”

DOCTOR: Look over there.

RIVER: That's me. How can I be there?

DOCTOR: That's you from the future, serving time for a murder you probably can't remember. My murder.

RIVER: Why would you do that? Make me watch?

DOCTOR: So that you know this is inevitable. And you are forgiven. Always and completely forgiven.

“It was such a basic mistake, wasn't it, Madame Kovarian. Take a child, raise her into a perfect psychopath, introduce her to the Doctor. Who else was I going to fall in love with?”

RIVER: There are so many theories about you and I, you know.

DOCTOR: Idle gossip.

RIVER: Archaeology.

DOCTOR: Same thing.

RIVER: Am I the woman who marries you, or the woman who murders you?

DOCTOR: I don't want to marry you.

RIVER: I don't want to murder you.

“Rory Williams, the man who dies and dies again. Die one last time and know she will never come back for you.”

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.

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.

(Amy puts Kovarian's eye drive back in place, it zaps her)

AMY: River Song didn't get it all from you, sweetie.

“Those reports of the sun spots and the solar flares. They're wrong. There aren't any. It's not the sun, it's you. The sky is full of a million, million voices saying yes, of course we'll help. You've touched so many lives, saved so many people. Did you think when your time came, you'd really have to do more than just ask? You've decided that the universe is better off without you, but the universe doesn't agree.”

RIVER: I can't let you die without knowing you are loved by so many, and so much, and by no one more than me.

DOCTOR: River, you and I, we know what this means. We are ground zero of an explosion that will engulf all reality. Billions on billions will suffer and die.

RIVER: I'll suffer if I have to kill you.

DOCTOR: More than every living thing in the universe?

RIVER: Yes.

DOCTOR: 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.

DOCTOR: I'll make it a good one.

RIVER: You'd 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.

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 don't recognise a space suit in Florida.

RORY: Are you sure, River? Are you really, properly sure?

RIVER: Of course I'm sure. I'm his wife.

AMY: Yes! And I'm his --- mother in law.

RIVER: Father dear, I think Mummy might need another drink.

“The first question. The question that must never be answered, hidden in plain sight. The question you've been running from all your life. Doctor who? Doctor who? Doctor Who?”
