Amy quotes from Doctor Who

Afterword, by Amelia Williams. Hello, old friend. And here we are, you and me, on the last page. By the time you read these words, Rory and I will be long gone. So know that we lived well, and we're very happy. And above all else, know that we will love you, always. Sometimes, I do worry about you, though. I think, once we're gone, you won't be coming back here for a while. And you might be alone, which you should never be. Don't be alone, Doctor. And do one more thing for me... There's a little girl waiting in a garden. She's going to wait a long while, so she's going to need a lot of hope. Go to her. Tell her a story. Tell her that if she's patient, the days are coming that she'll never forget. Tell her that she'll go to see and fight pirates. She'll fall in love with a man who'll wait two thousand years to keep her safe. Tell her she'll give hope to the greatest painter who ever lived. And save a whale in outer space! Tell her... "this is the story of Amelia Pond." And this is how it ends.

Why did you say six months?

[watching Prisoner Zero] He’s coming. We gotta go.

This matters - this is important! Why did you say six months?

[full on Scottish accent] WELL, WHY DID YOU SAY "FIVE MINUTES"?!

What...?

Come on!

What?!

[grabbing him] COME ON!!

WHAT?!

You're Amelia!

You're late!

Amelia Pond! You're the little girl!

I'm Amelia, and you're late.

What happened?

Twelve years!

You hit me with a cricket bat!

Ha! Twelve years!

A cricket bat!

Twelve years, and four psychiatrists!

Four?

I kept biting them!

Why?

They said you weren't real.

It's you. You came back.

'Course I came back, I always come back. Something wrong with that?

And you kept the clothes.

Well, I just saved the world, the whole planet, for about the millionth time, no charge. Yeah, shoot me! I kept the clothes.

Including the bow tie.

[self-conscious] Yeah, it's cool. Bow ties are cool. [fixes it]

Are you from another planet?

Yeah.

...'Kay.

So, what do you think?

What?

Other planets, wanna check some out?

What does that mean?

It means... well... it means... come with me.

[sharp] Where?

Wherever you like.

All that stuff that happened, the hospital, the spaceships, Prisoner Zero...

Oh, don't worry, that's just the beginning. There's loads more.

Yeah, but those things, those amazing things, all that stuff... [pause, deep breath, then, angrily] That was TWO. YEARS. AGO!

Oh... [weak chuckle] Oops.

Yeah!

So that's--

Fourteen years!

Fourteen years since fish custard! Amy Pond, the girl who waited. You've waited long enough.

When I was a kid, you said there was a swimming pool and a library, and the swimming pool was in the library.

Yeah, not sure where it's got to now. It'll turn up. So, coming?

No.

You wanted to come fourteen years ago.

I grew up.

Don't worry, I'll soon fix that.

One little girl crying, so?

Crying silently. I mean, children cry because they want attention, because they're hurt or afraid. But when they cry silently, it's because they just can't stop. Any parent knows that.

Are you a parent?

[on video message] The Earth was burning. Our sun had turned on us and every other nation had fled to the skies. Our children screamed as the skies grew hotter. And then it came, like a miracle - the last of the Star Whales. We trapped it, we built our ship around it, and we rode on its back to safety. If you wish our voyage to continue, then you must press the Forget button. Be again the heart of this nation, untainted. If not, press the other button. Your reign will end, the Star Whale will be released, and our ship will disintegrate. I hope I keep the strength to make the right decision.

I voted for this. Why would I do that?

Because you knew if we stayed here, I'd be faced with an impossible choice. Humanity or the alien. You took it upon yourself to save me from that. [sternly] And that was wrong. You don't ever decide what I need to know.

I don't even remember doing it!

You did it. That's what counts.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Oh, I don't care. When I'm done here, you're going home. [heads for the controls]

Why? Because I made a mistake? One mistake? I don't even remember doing it! Doctor!

[dismissive] Yeah, I know. You're only human.

What are you doing?

The worst thing I'll ever do. I'm going to pass a massive electrical charge through the Star Whale's brain - should knock out all its higher functions, leave it a vegetable. The ship will still fly, but the Whale won't feel it.

[horrified] That'll be like killing it.

Look, three options: One, I let the Star Whale continue in unendurable agony for hundreds more years. Two, I kill everyone on this ship. Three, I murder a beautiful, innocent creature as painlessly as I can... and then I-- I find a new name, because I won't be "The Doctor" anymore.

There must be something we can do, some other way--

Nobody talk to me; nobody HUMAN HAS ANYTHING TO SAY TO ME TODAY!

Amy, Winston Churchill!

Doctor?... is it you?

Winston, my old friend! [Churchill puts out his hand] Ha! Every time!

What's he after?

TARDIS key, of course.

Think of what I could achieve with your remarkable machine, Doctor! Think of the lives that could be saved.

Ah, doesn't work like that.

Must I take it by force?

I'd like to see you try.

[to the soldiers] At ease.

Would you care for some tea?

[slaps tea from Dalek's tea tray] Stop this! What are you doing here? What do you want?!

We seek only to help you.

To do what?

To win the war.

Really? Which war?

I do not understand.

This war against the Nazis or your war against the rest of the universe? The war against all lifeforms that are not Dalek?

I do not understand. I am your soldier.

Okay, okay! [Picks up a large spanner] Okay, soldier, defend yourself! [beats Dalek with spanner repeatedly]

What the devil?!

You do not require tea?

Stop him! Prime Minister, please!

Doctor!

Come on!

What the devil?

Come on! Fight back! I know you will!

I must protest!

You hate me! You want to kill me! Well, go on! Kill me! Kill me!

Doctor, be careful!

Please desist from striking me. I am your soldier.

[He accentuates each word by hitting the Dalek each time] YOU! ARE! MY! ENEMY! And I am yours! You are everything I despise. The worst thing in all creation. I've defeated you. Time and time again, I've defeated you. I sent you back into the Void. I saved the whole of reality from you. I AM THE DOCTOR AND YOU ARE THE DALEKS!

[long pause, then] Correct.

So what do we do? Is this what we do now? Chase after them?

This is what I do, yeah, and it's dangerous, so you wait here.

So I've got to stay safe down here... in the middle of the London Blitz?!

Safest it gets around me.

Well, what does he expect us to do now?

KBO, of course.

What?

Keep Buggering On.

The writing... the graffiti: Old High Gallifreyan. The lost language of the Time Lords. There were days, there were many days, where these words could burn stars, raise up empires, and topple gods.

What does this one say?

[hesitates, then, exasperatedly] "Hello, sweetie!"

Oh, you are all "Mr. Grumpy Face" today?

A Weeping Angel, Amy, is the deadliest, most powerful, most malevolent life form evolution has ever produced, and right now one of them is trapped inside that wreckage and I'm supposed to climb in after it with a screwdriver and a torch, and assuming I survive the radiation long enough and assuming the whole ship doesn't explode in my face, do something incredibly clever which I haven't actually thought of yet. That's my day, that's what I'm up to. Any questions?

Is River Song your wife? Because she's someone from your future, and the way she talks to you, I've never seen anyone do that. She's kind of like, you know, "Heel, boy!" She's Mrs. Doctor from the future, isn't she? Is she going to be your wife one day?

[beat] Yes, you're right. I am definitely "Mr. Grumpy Face" today.

What do you mean it's a statue when you see it?

The Weepings Angels can only move if they're unseen. So legend has it.

No, it's not a legend, it's a quantum lock. In the sight of any living being, the Angels literally cease to exist. They're just stone: the ultimate defense mechanism.

What? Being a stone?

Being a stone... until you turn your back.

Amy Pond, you are magnificent, and I'm sorry.

It's okay, I understand. You've got to leave me.

Oh, no, I'm not leaving you, never! I'm sorry about this! [bites her hand. Amy yelps] There, see? Not stone, now run!

You bit me!

Yeah, and you're alive.

Oh, I've got a mark, look at my hand!

Yes, and you're alive! Did I mention?

Blimey, your teeth, have you got space teeth?!

Yeah, alive, all I'm saying!

Doctor? Can I speak to the Doctor, please?

Hello, Angels. What's your problem?

Your power will not last much longer, and the Angels will be with you shortly. Sorry, sir.

Why are you telling me this?

There's something the Angels are very keen you should know before the end.

Which is?

I died in fear.

I'm sorry?

You told me my fear would keep me alive. But I died afraid, in pain and alone. You made me trust you, and when it mattered, you let me down.

What are they doing?

They're trying to make him angry.

I'm sorry, sir. The Angels were very keen for you to know that.

Well then... the Angels have made their second mistake, because I'm not going to let that pass. I'm sorry you're dead, Bob, but I swear to whatever is left of you, they will be sorrier.

What if the gravity fails?

I've thought about that.

And?

We'll all plunge to our deaths. See? I've thought about it! [examines the door] Ah, the security protocols are still live. There's no way to override them; it's impossible!

How impossible?

Two minutes.
