“The Time of Angels”

In this episode: Eleventh Doctor (6), Amy (5), River Song (2)

[The Doctor and Amy are standing over an exhibit in a museum, a futuristic black box]

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!

ABAngel Bob

Doctor? Can I speak to the Doctor, please?

Hello, Angels. What's your problem?

ABAngel Bob

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

Why are you telling me this?

ABAngel Bob

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

Which is?

ABAngel Bob

I died in fear.

I'm sorry?

ABAngel Bob

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.

ABAngel Bob

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.

ABAngel Bob

Sorry, can I ask again? You mentioned a "mistake" we made?

Oh, big, big mistake, really huge. Didn't anyone ever tell you? There's one thing you never put in a trap. If you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one thing you never, ever put in a trap.

ABAngel Bob

And what would that be, sir?

Me.
